¶Of Aneto. cap. 9.

ANetum is an hearbe, and the séed of it may be kept thrée yeare in great ver∣tue, as Discorides saith: but it is bet∣ter that it be renewed euery yeare. The roote thereof is somwhat worth while it is gréene, and of no valewe, when it is drye, as he sayth.

And hath vertue to heate and to tem∣per hard matter, and to make it softe and open, and to diuide and depart, and to destroy ventositie and swellyng, and to abate ache and gnawing of the guts, & of the wombe, and to breake the stone, to excite menstruall bloud, and to open the vrine veynes, and to abate the yere, that commeth of fulnesse, to make one sléepe well, and to temper hard gathring in the body if it be sod with oyle, and layd thereto in plaister wise: and the flower thereof sodde with Wine doeth away head ache, if the head be baulmed therewith: and ashes thereof layd to the dropping priuie chose of a woman, dri∣eth it, and stauncheth the dropping: and Anetum sod with oyle, releaseth shrink∣ing and stonieng of sinewes, and helpeth in many other passions, as he affirmeth and saith.

(* 1.1Anetum is hot and dry in y^e thirde degrée, it cureth the bloudie flixe, mixed with the cups of Akornes, and so dronk in ale or wine, the waight of halfe an ounce with halfe a pint. It is called, Dill.)
