Of Beta. chap. 22.

BEta is a cōmon a hearb of gardeins, as Diosc, saith and therof is double kind, blacke & white, & of either the iuyce drop∣ped into y^e nosethrils, purgeth the head, & abateth ach of the eares and amendeth & doth away nits, & other vncleannesse of y^e head, & speckles & moles of the face, and restoreth & saueth haire: and the leaues therof shoare & laid to, quencheth y^e euill, which is called Sacerignis, the holy fire, & swageth gréene wounds, & nourisheth euill humours, if it be oft vsed, as Diosc. saith. Aristotle speaketh of Beta & sayeth, & men may graffe on a Bete stocke, as men doth on a Caustocke, & then y^e Bete stock taketh strength, & turneth into a trée, as it is saide before, de natura Plan∣tarum.

(* 1.1Beta candida, Beta nigra, Beta nigra Romana. Beetes are hot & drie, & abster∣tiue especially the white Béete, y^t which is of a more cleansing nature.)
