The Perwincle is a great binder, staying bleeding both at Mouth and Nose, if some of the Leavs be chewed: The French use it to stay Womens Courses. Dioscorides, Galen, and AEgineta commend it against the Lask, and Fluxes of the Belly to be drunk in Wine.* 1.1

Venus owns this Herb, and saith that the Leavs eaten by man and wife together, cau∣seth love between them.
