Chiches, or Chich-pease, in Latin Cicer sativum.
Chich-pease are three-fold,
White, Red, and Black.
The Ancients commonly
fed upon them, as do the
Italians now at this Day.
They eat them raw, as
well as boyl'd; but they
are best boyl'd, and when
they are green, as are Pease
and Beans, but they are
windy. They provoke Ve∣nery;
they cleanse, open,
incide, digest, provoke U∣rine,
and lessen the Stone;
but they hurt the Bladder
when it is ulcerated. They
gently move the Belly.
The Broth of them doth
good in the Jaundice. A
Decoction of them kills
Worms, moves the Cour∣ses,
expels the Child, and
breeds Milk. In Cata∣plasms
they cure the Swel∣lings
under the Ears, called
Parotides, and Inflamma∣tions
of the Testicles, and
Malignant Ulcers. We
most commonly make use
of them only in Difficulty
of Urine: But Practitio∣ners
should take care that
they do not use them too
often to those that have Ul∣cers
in those Parts. They

are sown every where in
Italy, Spain and France.
Take of the Root of Li∣quorish
four Scruples, of
Marsh-mallows, Grass and
Rest-harrow, each half an
Ounce; of the Berries of
Winter-Cherries, number
Twenty, of Red Chick-pease
four Ounces, of Cur∣rants
one Ounce, of the
four greater Cold Seeds
one Scruple, of Barly two
Handfuls; boyl them in
the Water of Winter-Cher∣ries,
Rest-harrow, Straw∣berries,
and Flowers of
Beans, each one Pint and
on half; to the strain'd Li∣quor
add four Ounces of
the Syrup of Marsh-mal∣lows.
A Person that was
grievously afflicted with
the Stone in the Bladder,
was much reliev'd by ta∣king
of this Decoction dai∣ly,
for the space of seven∣teen
Weeks.
