CHAP. 56. Of Capers and Sampere.
CApers be hot and dry in the second degree; they are brought to us from beyond the Sea, and as Galen writeth,* 1.1 they nourish nothing after that they be salted, but yet they make the belly loose, and purge flegme which is therein contained. Also stirreth ap∣petite to meate,* 1.2 and openeth the obstructions or stop∣ping of the Liver and Spleene, which is a speciall ver∣tue in the preservation of health. They should bee eaten with Oximell before other meate, but our cu∣stome is to eate them with meate.* 1.3 Sampere is of much like nature, and used as a sawce with meats after the same manner: It is a weed growing neare to the Sea side, and is very plentifull about the Ile of Man, from whence it is brought to divers parts of England, pre∣served in Brine, & is no lesse wholesome than Capers.
