¶ Angelica.

ANgelica is good against all poyson and venemous bitings, so that it is better to haue it & Magistrantia, Louage, Gen∣tian, Elecampana, Aristolochia, & Petasites, then al Arabike and forraine wares. 2 It is called the roote of the holy Ghost, and of all heale: it expelleth poyson and rotten blood, and warmeth the body. 3 Halfe a dramme of the roote, with one dramme of Tri∣acle drunke with three or foure spoonefull of the water thereof, and the body well couered to sweate, and forbearing other things three houres after it, driueth foorth the plague, and deliuereth the sicke body, if no Treacle can be had, take a whole dramme of the powder of the roote. 4 The roote smelled vnto being steeped in vineger, and a little of the vineger drunke fasting now and then in the plague time, preserueth the body from the plague. 5 The water or powder of the roote deliuereth the body from torments comming of colde, the pluresie, ruptures, griefes of the lunges, whereof come grieuous coughes, the dropping of the vrine, the

strangurye, the stopping of the flowers, swellings and windines, and such like, and so doeth decoctions and potions made with the roote thereof sodden in wine or honie. 6 Put the water into hol∣lowe teeth for their ache, and into the eares for their ache. 7 Put the iuice or water into the eyes to cleare them and sharpen the sight, and to take away the webs & mystinesse: put the iuice, wa∣ter, or powder into olde and deepe vlcers, to couer the bare bones with flesh. 8 Apply the water to the goute, sciatica, or any ache or bruises, to dissolue humors that are gathered together: mixe the powder with pitch, and apply it to all venemous bitings. 9 The seedes haue the same vertues that the rootes haue: the rootes, seede or water, is excellent good against all inward diseases: it scowreth the gatherings of the plurisie when it beginneth: it hel∣peth corrupt lungs, it is good against the chollike and strangurie, it prouoketh termes, it helpeth inflamations and swellings. 10 Drop the iuice of the roote into the eyes to quicken the sight, and to clense them from all filth, and put it into teeth that ake to auoide the ache. 11 The water or powder is excellent good a∣gainst rotten vlcers and kankerous sores to clense and heale them: put a piece of gold into the iuice of Limons 24. houres, and drinke it with a little wine and powder of the roote of Angelica, to helpe the plague though all hope were past. 12 The roote taken fa∣sting, or but holden in the mouth, preserueth the body from all in∣fection of the plague or poyson. 13 If any be infected, let them drinke one dram of the powder straightwayes in Winter with wine, and with water of Scabious, or of Carduus benedictus in Sommer, or with Rose water, and couer him well to sweate both for the plague and poyson. 14 The leaues stampt with Rue and Honie, are very good for the bitings of mad dogs, serpents, and vipers, if shortly after the hurt taken, the partie drinke of the wine wherein the leaues or roote haue beene sodden. 15 For the pesti∣lence, any sudden pestilent ague, or too much sudden sweating, drinke halfe a dramme of the pouder of the root with one dram of Treacle, and iii. or iiii. spoonefull of water of the roote, and couer thee well to sweate iii. houres. 16 It is good for all inward di∣seases, especially such as come of colde cause, and for women in trauell, it expelleth winde. 17 The roote or seede may be sodden in wine or water as the disease requireth, and so it healeth all in∣ward

vlcers, bruses, and congealed blood, and strengtheneth the stomake. 18 The powder of the roote is good against all swoo∣ning passions of the heart, it is gathered in Autumne, and kept two or three yeeres, it cleanseth the lungs, breast, guts, reines and bladder. 19 The hearbe sodden in water, healeth all inwarde wounds, strengtheneth the heart, and dryeth vp all superfluous moysture, as the dropsie and tympany. 20 It helpeth against vo∣miting and weakenesse of the stomake, and being sodden with Rue, hony and wine, it deliuereth from the bitings of serpents, snakes, &c. and also any pricke or wound. 21 It quencheth all carnall rage of youthfull lust, if one eate halfe a dramme of it: it hath many other vertues, for the which fewe hearbes are to be compared vnto it. 22 Tooth-ache put in a peece of the roote, breath stinking of garlike chawe it, it may be vsed for like purpo∣ses as Carduus benedictus. 23 Powder of the leafe or roote cleanseth and healeth rotten vlcers, kankers and sores, and coue∣reth the bones with flesh, (See Blessed thistle.)

¶ Apples.

APples: abhorring meate, make a syrupe with the iuice of sower Apples and of a Pomegranate and Sugar and vse it. Cut Apples thinne as a peny, and seethe them in a panne with Virgins waxe, and eate it as hote as may be suffered to stop the bloody flixe. 2 Mixe Chalke with y^e iuice of Wildings or Crabs, and apply it to take away any paine of burnings, and bledders, or blisters. 3 Rost Frankincense in a red Apple, and apply it to the tooth ache. For horcenesse rost a great Apple, and slice it hote into a dish of water, & eate it to bedward, & couer thee well to sweate. 4 Stomake hote griefes, vse confections of Apples with sugar. Pare Apples and slice them and frie them with virgins waxe, and eate it hote to cure the fluxe diaria. 5 Cough, eate rosted Apples with vineger and Suger-candie. Wormes, rost one peny waight

of Aloes cicat. in an Apple, and eate it three mornings. 6 Eares worme, make a ripe well smelling Apple hollowe, and apply it to the eare, and the worme will come into it. Fluxes, apply plasters of sower Apples to the reines and nauell. Feuers continuall, vse bitter sweetes. 7 Bloody-fluxe, rost as much waxe as a beane in an Apple, and eate it. Seethe Apples to pap, and to vi. li. of it, put iiii. li. of hony, and seethe to perfection and vse it. 8 Eyes heate and running, cut off the paring thicke and apply the inside to bed∣ward to helpe it speedely. Cough, rost Butter, English Saffron, and as much Sugar-candie as a Nutmeg in a great Apple, and eate such a one morning and euening. 9 Eyes to comfort, distill a pecke of rotten Apples, and vse the water. Rost iii. or iiii. graines of Olibanum in a well smelling Apple on the embers, and eate it to breake the impostume of the plurisie, or any other with speede. 10 Seethe the inward yellowe barke with wood, bone, or horne with Alome to colour it yellowe. Face and nose-red, distill the bloomes in Balnio Mariae, and wash with the water morning and euening dayly. Distill it when it is full blowen. 11 To ripen an apostume, rost an Apple in the embers, and mixe it with butter and hony, or the yolke of an egge sodden, and apply it. 12 For griefes of the breast and breast bone, take out the core of a ripe Ap∣ple, and fill it with powder of Licoras, and Galingale, or Cina∣mom and Hony, all well mixed together, and rost it and pill it and eate it as oft as neede is. For the chincough and other like, and for paine in the breast, rost sallet oyle in a great Apple in the embers, and apply it flat on the breast as often as neede is. Liuer hot, seethe the iuice of Apples both sower and sweete, with almost twise so much sugar into a syrupe, and take a litle of it fasting dayly with lukewarme water. 13 Apples doe coole and comfort the sto∣make, especially such as are sowrish, & astringent of taste. 14 And they may be vsed in hote Agues, and other heates of the stomake a∣gainst thirst, but otherwayes hurtfull to the stomake, causing windinesse and blastings in the belly. 15 Sower Apples boyled and eaten colde after meate, loosen the belly gently. Apples eaten before meate, doe nourish very little, because they be watrish. 16 The leaues are good to be applyed to hote tumors and apo∣stumations in the beginning, and to woundes to keepe them from euill heate and swelling. The leaues, flowers, and buds of euery

Appletree, but especially of the Quincetree, doe stop and binde. 17 The tart and sower Apples doe binde, but the ripe Apples are of a contrary. They that are taken at the spring ingender chol∣ler, hurt all the synowes, and breede inflamations and hote bur∣nings. 18 All Apples hurt the synowes, the vnripe are very noi∣some, if a man eate, so that he fill himselfe with Apples, they in∣gender the stone. 19 But they are good for them that swoone, and haue a weake heart. The pap of an Apple with Rose water applied to the eyes, doeth quench their burning, and taketh away their rednesse. 20 Apples be good in winter, and prouoke vrine: eate them with a little salt. 21 Tarts of Apples with Anni∣seedes, make a sweete breath: a colde rosted Apple eaten to bed∣ward, looseneth the belly. Eate Apples with Comfects, Biskets or Carwayes after meate. 21 To keepe Apples long, lay them in hony, so that they touch not one another. Put frozen Apples in∣to colde water, and they will come to their owne nature againe.

And mixt with cleane hony, it cleanseth the darkenesse of the eies, and sodden with oyle and applied hote, it cureth the Emerods. 24 The roote, especially of that kinde that hath y^e spotted leaues, either drie or greene taken one dramme at the least, is a most pre∣sent remedie against all poyson and the plague: some put thereto as much Treacle. A spoonefull or more of the iuice of the hearbe drunke, hath the same properties. Put a litle vineger, and it will not blister the tongue. 28 The like is to be vnderstanded of the roote. 32 Take one dramme of the powder, with two drammes of sugar for the hickit or yexing, to cut grosse humors, to cleanse the lungs, to helpe the cough, to purge the stomake of flegme and melancholie. 36 The roote either greene or drie stamped and taken, doth mightely purge women after their child-birth. It doth

the like vnto cattell. 40 The iuice or the distilled water hath the like effect, which also helpeth the swelling of y^e cods, being drunke two or three ounces at once with a litle vineger. There is no bet∣ter medicine against the plague sore & Carbuncles, then the fresh leaues stampt and applied. 44 And the same either greene or dry, doth helpe olde and rotten sores of the feete. The water and iuice purgeth & healeth all maner of sores. The leaues and rootes sod∣den in wine or oyle, and vsed in insessions, healeth the Figs of the fundiment, and the falling downe of the same. 48 Some wo∣men put the leaues among their Cheese to kill the wormes there∣of, and to keepe it from corruption, and to make it last long. 52 Stampe halfe a pound of the sodden or rosted rootes, & seethe them with i. li. and a halfe of hony, and vse it to helpe them that can not draw their breath. 56 Daungerous coughes, catharres, and reumes, griefes of the breast, and crampes: for it ripeth and con∣sumeth all grosse humors, and scowreth all the inner parts. Seeth it with Rose leaues, oyle, and wine, and Cummin, and apply it to heale the swellings of the tongue & eares. 60 Skin to cleanse, stampe the roote, and anoint therewith.

18 Cheries eaten before meate, loosen the belly very gently, but they nourish but litle, and are hurtfull vnto moyst and vnhealthy stomakes, especially the small Cheries, which doe often breede agues, and other maladies. 19 The red sowre Cheries doe likewise loosen the belly, and are more holsome and conuenient for the stomake, for they doe partly comfort, and partly slake thirst. 20 The blacke sowre Cheries doe strengthen the sto∣make more then the rest, and being dryed, they stop the laske. 21 The gumme of the mazer or wilde Cherytree, of the Spa∣nish Cherie, and our common sower Cherytree is good to be drunke in wine for the grauell and the stone, and excoriation of the throte, lungs, and breast, the cough and hoarsenesse. 22 The water distilled of the fresh and newe gathered Cheries, is good to be powred into the mouthes of them that haue the falling sicke∣nesse, as often as the course of the fit doeth trouble them. 23 Che∣ries breede good blood, cause appetite, cut flegme and grosse hu∣mors, expell vrine, and soften the belly, being eaten when they are fresh: and being condited with sugar, they are good for them that be sicke of inflammations and extreame heates. 24 And being dryed in an ouen, they are good against all flures. 25 The distil∣led water of the wilde blacke Cheries, is good for them that haue lost their speeche. 26 The gumme dissolued in wine, is good for the olde cough. 27 Tart Cheries be more holsome then sweete, and eaten before meate, they mollifie the belly, and prepare dige∣stion, and are most excellent in hote burning choller, and are good also after meate. 28 The gumme sodden in Wine and drunke, helpeth olde coughes, causeth good coullour, sharpeneth the sight, helpeth digestion, and clenseth out grauell from the reines. 29 The stones breake the stone, if they be eaten drie or made milke. Preserued Cheries and Plummes, are without danger: but beware of surfetting by Cheries rawe.

¶ Coleworts.

COleworts: put them into scalding water, & let them be but halfe sodden, & powre out almost all y^e water from them, then put thereto a litle salt, oyle and Cummin, & heat them together a litle more, & when the broth is somewhat cold, fup thereof & also eate the Wort, to prouoke vrin, and doe so dayly till you be well. 2 Bruise the tender leaues and stalks, and apply them to all swel∣lings, vlcers and cankers morne and euen to heale them. But the cankers must be first washt with warme water. It helpeth also bruises and cankers of the paps, but if this medicine be too sharp, put barly meale to it and apply it. 3 Beate Coleworts rawe with Rue, and the herbe of Coriander shreaded together, or a litle salt and barly meale with Oximel mixed together, and with the whole anoynt the gout and ache of the ioynts to helpe them in short time. 4 Stamp the same herbes with wine and strein out the iuice, & drop it warme into the eares to help their deafnesse in short time. 5 Flowers stopt, seethe Coleworts in pleasant wine & drink it. 6 Mix the iuice with the purest hony, & drop thereof into

dead youngling, but because the seedes be very strong, the seedes of Anise and Fenell may be mixed with them in like waight. 5 Vse the hearbe in bathes, and rub well the body therewith to open the pores and drawe foorth euill humors. 6 Seethe the seedes in wine or water, and drinke it to open the stopping of the milt. 7 Bruise the seedes with Cummin seedes, and drinke them in wine to mende the stomacke and auoide winde in the belly. 8 Bruse the seedes, and seethe them in wine with Galingale and Cinamom, to helpe the griefes of the stomacke, milt, and bowels, the paine in the belly &c. 9. Seeth the seedes in wine, and drinke it to voide paine in the belly, swelling in the stomacke, the bitings of Snakes & Adders, and to prouoke vrine & termes. 10 Drinke two or three drams of the distilled water morne and euen for the griping of the sides and stomacke, the griefes of the stone, kid∣neis, and bladder, hoarsenesse, and the dangerous swelling in the throate called the Squincie, and wash the face therewith morne and euen to make it faire. 11 The decoction of the roote, seede, or hearbe in wine or barley water, clenseth the lungs, passages of the vrine and termes, and doth heale inward wounds. 12 Apo∣stume and hardnesse, seethe it and apply it. 13 Dead childe, ap∣ply it warme to the belly to expell it. 14 To skowre the reines and milt, to expell winde, and mende the liuer, drinke powder of the seedes with some thinne broth, or pearcing wine, and so it ex∣pelleth the seconds. 15 The seedes eaten alone prouoke vomite, but vsed with Rue, it is good for the dropsie. 16 Let women drinke the decoction of the roote for the health of the matrixe, bel∣ly, precordials and breast, it warmeth and maketh good concocti∣on. 17 The powder of the roote is as good sause to all meates as Pepper that is brought out of farre Countreys. It is good for a colde stomacke, it helpeth digestion. 18 Drinke halfe a dramme of the roote in powder with good wine to cease in∣warde paine, to expell vrine, termes, poyson, and all things that Angelica serueth for: the seede is more hote and effectu∣all in all things. 19 Iaundies, and Plurisie, gargarise with the water, and also drinke thereof. 20 The roote may be con∣dited in Vineger and Salt, as the roote of Elecampana, and other hearbs, and kept in store. 21 Bathe in the decoction of Lo∣uage to expell the stone and vrine, and to heate all inward partes.

22 Stampe the roote or seede, and apply it to any venemous bitings, or stingings of mad dogs, or serpents. 23 Teeming wo∣men, vse the rootes and leaues in meate and drinke, and swea∣ting bathes, that they may be purged rightly after childebirth. 24 The Squincie is healed by continuall drinking of the water of it through the stalke of it. 25 The water cleanseth the face and skinne from all blackenesse, spots, bruises, skarres, skabbes, and such like, being often washed therewith, and it helpeth the exulceration of the mouth, throte, fundament, and priuities, being applied with linnen clothes. (See Angelica, Parsley, and Smallage: for Louage is much of like nature to them.) 26 Vse powder thereof with powder of Cinamom for the windinesse and ache of the stomacke and guts. 27 The roote is good for all in∣ward diseases, and so is the seede, and may be vsed for Pepper. 28 The infusion or decoction of the seedes with as much Fenell seede, or Aniseede streyned and drunke, worketh in purging the body as doeth Parsley and Fennell. 29 Legges red, stampe the leaues and stalkes, and distill them in a Limbek, and bathe with the water, and apply it with linnen clothes. 30 Emerods, stampe Louage and Rue with hony, and frye them and applye them. 3 Seethe it with Yarrowe in wine, till the third part be washed, and drinke it to strengthen the stomacke. 32 Thirst to voide, seethe the roote in wine or water, and drinke it three dayes.

of some, oyle of Nutmegs: which is precious for al cold griefs of the ioynts and senowes, and of diuers other parts, and is good for colde husbands that would haue children. 14 Nutmegs comfort the braine, sight, liuer, milt, and mouth of the stomacke. 15 And taken last at night in a cawdell of Almonds or of Hempseede pro∣cureth sleepe. 16 It is the best spice for students of all other, ta∣ken in drinke. 17 Nutmegs condyted, as they may be had at the Apothecaries, are excellent. 18 Head ache, drinke powder of Nutmegs with Betony water. 19 If any man be wounded and bleede inward, take the heauiest Nutmegs that can bee gotten, wash them, wipe them, and pare them, and let him eate them, and he shall deliuer the blood outward, and also by his ordure, & make him as cleane as euer he was, so that the wound be kept well, and the same vsed till he hath recouered the state of health. 20 Sto∣macke feeble and colde, eate halfe a Nutmeg in the morning. 21 Boyle them in wine and drink it for coldnesse of the stomacke, and to helpe digestion: or boyle Nutmegs and Masticke in wine, and drinke it for the griefs of the stomake & bowels, and to breake winde and to restore strength after sickenesse. 22 Smell to a Nutmeg, to comfort the braine & spirituall members. 22 Sto∣macke cold, seeth Nutmegs, Maces, Fennel seede and Dill seede in wine and drinke it. 24 It is much of the nature of Cloues. 25 Mouth stinke, vse powder of Nutmegs and Cloues, and for∣beare meates of euill digestion, and rawe fruites.

stay chollerike apostumes and inflammations, creeping & running sores, apostumes of the corners of the eyes, carbuncles and white∣flawes. 10 And applyed with Hony, they take away crusts about sores and wounds. 11 They skowre all filthy wounds, and driue away all inflammations, and sores called Pauos, and ioyne toge∣ther the skinne that is pluckt off from the head. 12 They are good for sores of the mouth, especially of yong children, being chewed in the mouth: & the broth hath the same vertues. 13 The iuice applied, stoppeth the termes, and is good for the disease of the eye, called Vua, and for wheales, sores, and falling downe of hu∣mors, and is therefore put into collyries and eye medicines: it is very good for the gnawing or biting of the eye lids. 14 If you will haue the iuice serue you all the yeere through, stampe them and put wine or water to them, and drie the moisture in the sunne, and make it into litle cakes. 15 But the iuice that is made of the wine, is stronger to bee laid vp, then that which is made with wa∣ter: it helpeth the eares both if they be sore, and the skinne off, or any matter run out. 16 The leaues applied with Barley meale, are good for the flixe. 17 The leaues are burned with the flow∣ers, that the ashes may serue in stead of spodium: and thus they be drest, Put them into an vnbaked pot that was neuer in the fire before, and stop the mouth of it perfectly with clay, and let the pot stand so long, till all other pots be baked ynough, then quench them while they are yet hote with wine, and kneade them together, and burne them together after the same maner once againe, then wash them and make them into little cakes: it is well knowen that this medicine is as good as spodium in the diseases of the eyes. 18 The leaues of the set Oliue haue the same vertues, but gentler. 19 The sweat or water that commeth forth of the tree when it is laid in the fire, healeth foule skuruie skabs being ap∣plyed. 20 The seede of the Oliue tree applyed, helpeth skurfe and fretting, and wasting sores. 21 That which is within the kernels, with fat and meale, driueth away skabbed or foule rough nayles. 22 The Oliues that haue bene condited in salt, broken and applyed to burnings, will suffer no bladder to arise: they skowre foule woundes. 23 The bryne of Oliues fasteneth loose teeth and gummes being washed therewith. 24 The yellowe and fresh Oliue is better for the stomacke, but it

is hard for the bellie. 25 The blacke, that is ripe, is disposed to corruption, and is euill for the stomacke, eyes, and head. 26 If it be dried, it stoppeth fretting or wasting sores, and scattereth car∣bunckles: it is good to wash the gummes that haue filthy moy∣sture, with the oyle of wilde Oliues, it fasteneth loose teeth being applyed with wooll or fine cloth, till they be white, and it will helpe them. 28 No man can describe all the vertues of the oyle Oliue. 29 Oliues eaten before meate, loosen the belly, and strengthen the stomacke, cleanse the liuer, &c. 30 Being eaten with vineger, they loosen the bellie. 31 Oyle Oliue taken with as much Renish wine or white wine, or powred in by Glister, helpeth much the Chollicke, Iliake, and paine of the stone. 32 It may bee eaten with white bread in sops in stead of Butter, and so it looseneth the belly more then Butter. 33 Drinke foure spoones full with as much Sacke or white wine warme, to prouoke an easie vomite, and to cleanse the stomake. 34 Breath short or difficultie, dippe a sponge in hote oyle and apply it. 35 Chollike, seeth rawe yarne in ashes and oyle and apply it to the Nauell and Reines. 36 Burning, boyle Hony and oyle togther, and anoynt therewith: or boyle the inner barke of El∣dren with oyle or newe greace with some Masticke and Frankin∣cence, and waxe, and anoynt. 37 Eares deafe, boyle Cummin in oyle Oliue and streine it, and drop it in. 38 Earmes wormes, boyle quicke Lime in it and streine it, and put it in. 39 Eyes web, put in a very small drop of oyle by it selfe.

¶ Peares.

PEares of all sorts taken before meate, do nourish but litle, but yet more then Apples, especially those that be great & sweete. 2 The sower, rough and chokie Peares and others that are not watrie, eaten rawe or baked before meales, doe stop the common laske, and strengthen the mouth of the stomacke. 3 They are good to bee layde to the beginning of hote tumors and greene wounds, and so are the leaues, for they close and heale newe wounds. 4 To keepe Peares long, put them into a vessell that

they touch not one another with fine white salt and couer them close: put a Pare into wine, cleane pared: if it swim, the wine is pure: but if it sinke, there is water mixt with it. 5 To keepe Pares drie, seeth them in faire water and Rose water with Hony, with a gentle fire, and let them dreine through a cloth or colander, and then drie them in an Ouen after the batch is drawen foorth: if once doing so serue not, do so the second time, and then barrell them vp. 6 Pares are good in Plasters that are made to stop the course of humors that run to any place.

¶ Quince.

QVince: The Quince stoppeth the laske or common fluxe, the bloody-fluxe, and all other fluxes of blood, spitting blood, especially when it is rawe: for when it is either boyled or rosted, it stoppeth not so much, but it is then fitter to be eaten, and more pleasant to the taste. 2 Women with childe that eate Quinces often in meate or otherwise, shall bring foorth wise chil∣dren of good vnderstanding. 3 The Codenac, or Marmalad made with hony as it was wont to be, with sugar as they vse to make it now a dayes, is very good to strengthen the stomacke, and to keepe the meate therein till it be perfectly digested. 4 Being taken before meate, it stoppeth the laske, and after meate it looseth the belly, and closeth vp the mouth of the stomacke so fast, that no vapours can ascend vp into the braine, and cureth headache, that

commeth of such vapours. 5 The decoction or broth of Quinces hath y^e like vertue, & stoppeth the belly, & al fluxes of blood, and the violent issues of the termes. 6 With y^e same it is good to bathe the loose fundament & falling downe of y^e matrix, to make them to re∣turne into their naturall places. 7 They are also good in plasters to stop the fluxe & vomiting, & for al hote swellings & inflammati∣ons of the breast & other places. 8 The downe that groweth vpon Quinces sodden in wine & applied, healeth carbuncles. 9 The oile of Quinces staieth vomitings, gripings in y^e belly or stomack with y^e casting vp of blood, if y^e stomack be anointed therewith. 10 The flowers of the Quince tree doe stop fluxes, spitting blood and the flowers, & haue the same vertues that Quinces themselues haue. 11 If the stomacke be very hote and moist, or the belly laxatiue, Quinces are best to be eaten before meate, being rosted or eaten colde, & the tarter that they be, y^e better they are. 12 And Pome∣granates be of the same vertue. 13 But the custome of taking of Quinces in meates hurteth y^e sinowes, but by way of medicin they be excellent. 14 And the cores taken out and preserued in hony or kept in their mussilage, they may long continue to y^e vse of rosting or baking: for they be perilous to the stomacke being eaten rawe, but preserued, they doe mightely preuaile against drunkennesse. 15 If he that hath drunke well eate a Quince rosted or other∣wayes ordered, the drinke shall not annoye his braine much. 16 Quinces well rosted or baked, are of good nourishment, and are good for the stomacke, and take away belching, vomiting, and lothing, especially taken after meate. 17 The syrupes and Elec∣tuaries made of Quinces with spices, are very profitable for many griefes. 18 The iuice of a rawe Quince is very good for them whose winde is stopt, and cannot holde their meate. 19 Quinces preserued whole in hony, are very good to be vsed of them that haue the bloody fluxe. 20 Rawe Quinces applied in plasters are good to stop the fluxe and vomiting, the heate of the stomacke, and inflammation of the breast and liuer. 21 The decoction of the leaues is good against the falling downe of the matrix and funda∣ment. 22 The seede steeped in Rose-water, is good against thicke and grosse humors, in burnings with fire. 23 Gawles and Med∣lers be of the same vertue. 24 No man can sufficiently declare the vertues of Quinces. 25 Quinces are good for the stomacke,

they make a man pisse well, but when they are rosted, they are counted to be gentler. 26 The iuice of rawe Quinces is good for them that are short winded. 27 The broth of them is good to bathe the mother in that falleth downe. The Quinces that are condited with hony prouoke vrine. 28 They that are sodden in hony, are more pleasant for the stomacke. 29 They are good raw in plasters to stop the belly, for the inflammation of the stomacke and paps, for vomiting, hardnesse of the milt, and swelling about the fundament. 30 You may make wine of them, by stamping and streyning them, but it will not last, except you put to euery xv. quartes one quart of hony, for without hony it will turne to vergis. 31 The wine so made is good for all the things aforesaid. 32 The oyle of Quinces is made of the smallest, roundest, and best smelling Quinces. 33 The flowres both greene and drie, are good in emplasters for all things that neede binding, and for inflammations, & vomiting of blood. 34 And they are also good against the flixe, and to stop the termes. 35 Head-ache, eate ro∣sted Quinces after meales when the ache commeth of vapours. 36 Vomit to stop, steepe the kernels in water and drinke it, or binde the leaues vnto thy wristes. They may be gathered in Au∣gust, and kept all the yeere. 37 Fluxe, seethe Quinces after they be pared and cored with Oke apples & Cinamom, and sugar it and take thereof iii. nights. 38 To make Marmalad of Quin∣ces, take Quinces xvi. pound, core them, seethe them, and stampe them in a stone morter, then clarifie tenne pound of hony with the gleyre of an Eg, or white well beaten, and seeth all till it be stiffe, then lay it on a marble stone, and cut it of what fashion you will. 39 A plaster of Quinces is restrictiue and good for the bloody flixe. 40 Tong sharpe and drie, put the seedes of Quinces, and Psilium, or one of them into a cloth, & steepe it in water, and wash therewith. 41 Stamp Barley meale with halfe as much Quince kernels with vineger, and apply it to burnings or inflammations of the goute. 42 Mixe the pap of sodden Quinces eight ounces, with powder of Sugar foure ounces, vineger sixe spoonefull or more, Ginger halfe an ounce, white Pepper one dramme, seethe it to the height of a Conserue, and take thereof before and after meate to comfort the stomacke.
