The triall of tabacco Wherein, his worth is most worthily expressed: as, in the name, nature, and qualitie of the sayd hearb; his speciall vse in all physicke, with the true and right vse of taking it, aswell for the seasons, and times, as also the complexions, dispositions, and constitutions, of such bodies, & persons, as are fittest: and to whom it is most profitable to take it. By E.G. Gent. and practicioner in physicke.

In commendation of the Author.

AS farre as Boreas clappes his brasen wings, So farre thy fame graue Gardin•…•…r sh•…•…ll flie. Pleasure and profit both thy rare Worke brings. Who rightly reads, will say as much as I; That thou of all doest yet deserue the praise, And to be crowned with a crowne of 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

One, with disgracefull and despightfull words, This soueraigne Simple basely discommends: A second, loftie glorious tearmes affords, And grace too great vnto this Simple lends. Both are extreames. The golden meane is best: Which here thou keep'st: thy Worke excels the rest.

Reioyce, O Britaine, that thou hast brought▪forth A Gardiner of such admired skill. Thou showest the vertue, the effect and worth, Of this rare Simple, the good vse and ill. Then vse it well, for Gardiners good sake: And from his Garden a choise flower take.

Io: Serle.
