The Places and Time.

There is not a Town, nor scarcely a feild where the first groweth not, being Planted commonly for Moundes, because of its speedy growth: The Second was found by Tragus in the Woodes of Germany: The Third groweth wild on hills in watery Woods: The fourth is not found but in the Gardens of the curious. The fifth is found by waters sides, and in moorish grounds. The sixth is nursed up only in Gardens. The seaventh groweth wild in many places as in the Ab∣by Orchard at St. Albans, in the feilds between Bloxham and Milton in Oxford∣shire, and in divers other places: most of these sorts Flower about Midsummer, but Dane-wort, because it riseth out of the ground e••ery yeare flowreth not so soone; The Fruit of the former is commonly ripe in August; that of the last, not before September.
