¶ If thou wilt dryue away fan∣tasies and folishnes.
¶ Take the stone, which is called Chrysolitus, and it is of the same vertue with Attemicus, as Aarō & Euax say, in the boke of the na¦tures of herbes, & stones: this sto¦ne set in golde, & borne, dryueth away folishnes, & expelleth fan∣tasies. It is affyrmed to geue wysedome, and it is good against feare.
