You shall haue,* 1.2 a most precious medecine thereof: if you mixe the greene roote, with honie, cinamon, saffron, gin∣ger, and the powder of roses.
If you rost the roote in the embers,* 1.3 and mixe it with condited sugar it breaketh the Scrophulae, and mundifieth them, and healeth them in short time. Some do mixe it with the gumme, called Ammoniacum; and so do bring it in∣to the forme of an vnguent, and applie it vnto the parts af∣fected with Scrophulae.
