THe seede of ye garde in Popy prouoketh sleepe meanely, and is good against the cough, and distillations.
THis kynde of Popy is so strong that no man can vse it without daunger.
THe seede of this kynde is medicinall, & specially if it grow in Thebes: the iuice of it is called Opium, and taken in excesse it doth refrigerate so much, that it stupifieth, and maketh the body without sense or fre∣ling: but taken in a conuenient quantity, it doth ceasse paynes, and prouoketh sleepe: stayeth and engrosseth rhewmes and distil∣lations, the deco••••ion of the leaues, & crops or heads of all these kynds be employed for a fomentation to the heade. The Juyce of this Poppy is called Opium.
THis kynde is inscissiue, and abstersiue: the roote decocted helpeth diseases of the
