Chelidonium.

CAlled in Englishe Salendine,* 1.1 or Swallow Wurte, in Greke 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, hoc est Hirundinaria,* 1.2 (so called ei∣ther because it bloweth, aboute the returne of swal∣lowes in the spring, and wythereth agayne at their depar∣ture: or else as Plinius wryteth, because the Swallowes did fyrste fynde and vse the same, to restore again their birdes to syghte, beinge made blinde:) is of heatinge, and scou∣ringe propertyes.* 1.3 His roote is geuen (in Vino albo cum aniso,) to the Jaundies that come of the liuer obstructed: and be∣inge chawed, helpeth the tothake. The iuyce of the herbe is vsed in the eye, to sharpen the syght. And thus muche of Chelidonium Maius. For ther is also Chelidonium Minus: which (as it is sharper then the greater,) doth swiftly exulcerate. And the iuyce therof purgeth the head by the nosethrilles. It heateth and dryeth in the beginninge of the fourthe de∣gree, the greater onlye in the thirde. Wherfore that the herbe called of the Latin wryters and apothecaries Ficaria,* 1.4 & Scrofularia minor,* 1.5 in Englishe Pyle worte, (whose Picture is vsually put, and that not of the worste Herbal wryters for this:) is not Chelidonium Minus, it is euident. Whose tem∣peramentes, (thoughe the description of Chelidonium in Diose¦coride* 1.6 will suffer it in forme to agree:) are one to an other cleane contraries.
