DAmaske Prunes be the best: pru∣nes of Spayne bee nexte: greene Prunes be more soluble than dri∣ed Prunes: the Prune of Spaine is more soluble than the Damaske prune: the leaues & Buds of the Prune tree haue
sensible tartnes, & binding in taste. Where¦fore the decoction of them are good to gar∣garise for inflamations of the Junla, and inwarde partes of the mouth: the wylde Prune byndeth and stayeth the belly: the gumme of ye Prune tree drunke wyth wyne breaketh the stone.
SPinache is abstersiue, and lenitiue of the belly: it extinguisheth choler, and is good for the breast and loonges that be distempe∣red wyth heate.
THe leaues of the violet both alone, and with barly meale, be good against heat swellings and inflamations: also they bee good made in playsters, for the heate of the stomacke, and the Eyes, after Mesue: the Uyolet doth laxe and purge choller: it ex∣tinguisheth thrystinesse, is good in hoat Fe∣uers, & against ye cough, & other passiōs of ye
breast, that come with heate: the floure is vsed both in syrupes and conserues, and it is of more efficacy than the hearbe.
THe leaues of ye Plane tree, being greene and made in playsters, beale inflamati∣ons, and hoat swellings in their beginning: the barke and the fruite are dryer than the leaues: the barke boyled in vyneger, easeth the paynes of the Teethe: the fruite mixed wyth Swynes grease, healeth vlcers that come of brenning.
THe gardein Endyue & Sychory be cold, and moyst: the wilde be colde, and dry. The gardein Endyue and Sychory differ not much from the nature of Lettice, but they be not so pleasaunt: they be good for ye hoat stomacke, and the hoat lyuer, & against all hoat inflamations.
OF Cherries, some be sweete, and they be solutiue and not good for the Sto∣macke: some be tarte in taste, and they bee bynding and good for the stomacke: some be sharpe in taste, and good for the stomacke that is Fleagmatike and full of superflu∣ous humors. The gumme of the Cherry tree is good for the roughnesse or asperity of the wynde pype, and drunke wyth wyne, breaketh the stone.
ARrege is soluble, good agaynst hoate inflamations and swellinges: the seede purgeth and mundifieth optiations of the lyuer, and therefore cureth the Jaundice.
LIquirice extinguisheth thristinesse, le••i∣fieth and tempereth the roughnesse and asperity of the wynde pype, & doth the sa〈…〉〈…〉 in the Bladder which is excoriated.
THe roote is abstersiue, resolutiue. & pur∣geth the head: it is soluble: but not good for the stomacke.
THe Mallowe is resolutyue, mollitiue, & laxeth the belly: howbeit, it is not com∣mended for the stomacke.
THis fruit is of litle nourishment: hard to disgest, and euill for the stomacke.
THis hearbe is commonly eaten: it laxeth the belly, and is of no other vse.
