Vertues and use.
I is singularly effectual in all fresh and green Wounds,* 1.1 and therfore beareth not this name for nought. And is very available in stan∣ching of Blood, and to dry up the Fluxes of Humors in old fretting Ulcers, Cancers, &c. that hinder the healing of them.
A Syrup made of the Juyce of it is inferior to none for inward Wounds, Ruptures of Veins, Bloody Flux, Vessels broken, spitting, pissing or vomiting Blood, Ruptures are ex∣cellently and speedily, even to admiration cu∣red by taking now and then a little of the Sy∣rup, and applying an Oyntment or Plaister of the Herb to the place. Also if any Vein be swelled, or Muscle cut, apply a Plaister of this Herb to it, and if you ad a little Comfry to it 'twil not do amiss, I assure the Herb de∣servs Commendations though it have gotten but a Clownish name, and whoever reades this (if he try it as I have done) will commend it as well as I.
I have done, only take notice, that it is of a dry Earthy quality, and under the Domini∣on of the Planet Saturn.
