¶ The Vertues.
The tender leaues, saith Dioscorides, being stamped and layed vpon cold swellings, do waste away [ A] the same.
They are drunke with Cute in the weight of a dram against the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the lungs and doe [ B] bring downe the menses, the birth, and the afterbirth.
They cure the head-ache being drunke with wine; the iuice of the root digesteth and ripeneth [ C] if the seed be eaten it procureth vomite, which thing, as Matthiolus writeth, the seed not onely of stinking Beane Tresoile doth effect, but that also of the other likewise.
