¶ Tamarinds.

TAmarinds scowre away choller, and holde downe the rage of it of the heate of blood. 2 They are very good for the burning of the liuer and stomacke, thirst, all kindes of bur∣nings, and the Iaundies. 3 They stop vo∣mitings, and helpe hote and hastie agues that had neede of purgation. 4 The dose is one ounce of the flesh streyned, and some are suffised with halfe an ounce. It is good to put to it almost as much Cassia, and so may the Cassia be the better taken. And some Spikenard or Mastike, or Maces, are good to be put to it to mitigate the coldnesse of it. 5 It will worke more strongly with the iuice of hops, or of Par∣sley, or of Fenell, or of Endiue. The best are blacke, shining, fresh, and not drie. 6 They are good to be vsed for the griefes of the head.
