¶Of a reede. chap. 7.

A Réede is called Arundo, & is meane betwéene a trée and an hearbe, and more brittle and féeble than a trée, and more hard and boystous than an hearb, and is smooth without and hollow with in, and is norished in marreys, and wag∣geth with the winde, & hurteth y^e hande soone with splinters. Isid. li. 16. speaketh of the réede and saith, it is called Arun∣do, and hath that name of Aresco, dri∣eng, for it drieth soone. In pondes of In∣de groweth a réede, and out of the roots thereof they wring full swéete sauour and licour, which they drinke. There∣fore Varro saith, y^t a réed of Inde grow∣eth to a small trée, and humor is wrong out of the roote thereof, and no swéete ho∣ny may striue with that wose & lycour.

(* 1.1There are diuers sorts or kinds of réede, the long poale réede or cane in the Ilands of Canare: of the which the peo∣ple vse as staues and speares, for theyr straigth and hardnesse. There is also the Sugar réede, verye long, within the which groweth the iuice, whereof com∣meth Sugar. The common great: reeds grow in marish grounds, as do y^e small, with the which are made quilles for Weauers, fishing rods, &c.)
