We gather boeth by Dioscorides & Pli∣nie, that there are two kyndes of Thyme, whereof I see but one kinde as yet in Eng∣lande, for that runnyng thyme that we take for thymo, is serpyllum and not thymus.
The greate kynde of thyme, wherof Dio∣scorides maketh mētion of in Epithymo, is called nowe Venetian thyme, and the blacke kynde that Plinie speaketh of, is oure com∣mune thyme that groweth ryght vp in our gardines. Thyme is hote in the thyrde de∣gree.
