¶ The vertues.
This Barley boyled in water cooleth vnnatu∣rall [ A] and hot burning choler. In vehement feuers you may adde thereto the seeds of white Poppie and Lettuse, not onely to coole, but also to pro∣uoke sleepe.
Against the shortnesse of the breath, and paines of the brest, may be added to all the foresaid, [ B] figs, raisins of the Sunne, liquorice, and Annise seed.
Being boyled in the Whay of Milke, with the leaues of Sorrell, Marigolds, and Scabious, it [ C] quencheth thirst, and cooleth the heate of the inflamed Liuer, being drunke first in the morning, and last to bedward.
