CHAP. 15. Of Hysop.
HYsop is hot and dry in the third degree, whose vertues are briefly comprehended of Schola Sa∣lerni,* 1.1 in these verses:
Hyssopus{que} herba est, purgant è pectore phlegma,Ad pulmonis opus cum m••lle coquenda jugata.Vultibus eximium fertur praestare color••u••.
Of Hysop is made a Wine named Hysop Wine, which helpeth by drinking thereof diseases of the breast, the sides, the Lungs, the shortnesse of wind, and an old cough, all which effects may be wrought by the use of the sirrup. When I was much troubled with cough and cold,* 1.2 I was wont to make Hysop Ale, after the manner prescribed of Sage Ale, saving that I put to an ounce or two of good Liquorice, thin cut in slices, whereby in that case I have beene much ea∣sed. Also for the same purpose you may distill the Herbe, and use the water distilled after the manner aforesaid.
