❧ The Vertues.

[ 1] [ A] The seede of the first Panaces dronken with wormewood, moueth wo∣mens flowres: And taken with Herbe Sarrasine, whiche is Aristolochia Cle∣matitis, it is good agaynst the poyson of all venimous beastes. Being dronken with wine, it cureth the suffocation and strangling, or choking of the Ma∣trix or Mother, and causeth the same to fall and returne agayne to his natu∣rall place.

[ B] The roote of Panaces chopped or hackt very small, and applied belowe to the Mother or Matrix, draweth foorth the dead Chylde, and the vnnaturall birth.

[ C] The same roote mengled with Hony, and layde vppon, and also put into olde vlcers, cureth the same, and couereth bare, or naked bones with flesh agayne.

[ 2] [ D] The flowers and seede of the seconde kinde of Panaces, are very profitable agaynst the bytinges of Serpentes, to be dronken in wine, or layde vpon the wounde with Oyle.

[ E] The same flowers and seede mingled with Hony, and layde thereunto, do cure olde malignant, corrupt, and fretting soares, and also knobbes or harde swellinges.

[ 3] [ F] The seede, the flowers, and also the roote of the thirde Panaces, are very good to be dronken, against the venom of Serpentes, and Vipers.
