Common Grape flowers. HEre is expressed three sorts or several fashions of the Grape flowers or grape jacynthes. The first of these hath a sad blue coloured flower, painted with sad ashcoloure, shadowed with lack moes and indigo, where in is to be observed that the uppermost flowers which stand at the top above show somewhat lighter, and the ondermost must be white upon the edges but those that are not fully blown and open, needed to be made white upon the edges. Sky coloured Grape flowers. The Second sort of these is of a sky colour, and may be painted with the common ●iddle sort of ashblewe, and shadowed with lack moes, witsch same observation to be used as is spoken of in the former, which must be referred to the discretion of the painter in using consideration for the colours using either, the flower itself for his direction, or else so as it is here expressed which of all is the surest way. The white Grape-flowers. The third sort of these flowers, is milk white, the steals may be coloured with mountain green, and shadowed with mountain green, or ashcoloure and sad yellow mingled together, but yet at the top, taught with lack or a red purple over the green, the leaves are mountain green shadowed with a little verdigris, the uppermost edges are like unto verdigris, and at the bottom are of light purple. The bowl is almost white and is shadowed with red and purple. 12. The German, or the Oriental jacinth or lily. TWo sorts of false or bastard lilies or jacynthes are here expressed. The first hath leaves standing up like unto the fashion of a lilley, and may be painted with ashcoloure mingled with a little lack, but the flame falleth throughout the same a little sadder, the shaddowinge and the topping of it must be applied as it is convenient for these colours, at the discretion of the painter, the knobes are of indigo blue, the heads, or the seed-●curchions are of a bluish purple, the small threads about the same are whitish, the skin or husk that the flowers come out of, is almost of a mountain green, and a little blue appearing amongst the same. The double Oriental jacinth. The other jacinth is very copious of leaves, which are of an ashcoloure, tending towards a blue, otherwise in form and shape not much differing from the former. FINIS. The translator to the Readers, or practitioners. THe Courteous practitioner shall please to understand, that these being (by earnest request) committed to me to be transta●ed, and the names of the colours so much differing from the original language, that neither by search of books, not conference with painters, not merchants beyond the seas, could sufficiently express the same to an englishman's understanding. Yet by some that made profession of that art, being persuaded that they all had one general name; whereof I myself know better, have done them all, or the most part of them, to be understood of any Englishman, only in one colour which the dutchmen call Schijt-geel which translated signifieth a sh●tter yellow. I have in place thereof (because of not offending modest ears) called it throughout the whole book a sad yellow. It is that which the Lattines, french, and spanish, call Buxus, that is box colour, which is a ●ad or dead like yellow. Thus committing you to the protection and direction of the father of all goed spirits, I rest. From Vtrecht this 12 of September 1615. Yours E. W. WHat others with expenses great, And toil to pass have brought In searching out most foreign lands, And long experience sought: And ventured have both life and good, To satisfy their mind: Making the chieffest still their choice, And rarest of that kind. Which having found, have careful been, With curious art to express: In perfect lineaments the same, As here you will confess. If well you please to take a view, From th'top unto the toe: Of every flower, both stalk and root, Expressed here in show. You will confess and grant with me, This youth deserves much praise: Whose whole delight from infancy. Hath laboured most always, His knowledge still for to augment, In this his painful trade: Until by industry at last, This book was fully made. Which here to you this pass presents, With passing free good will: surpassing all such former sorts, In workemanshipp and skill. Receive then these as his first fruits, What after shall ensue: Of other subjects, time will show, So for this time a dew. T. W. FINIS. HORTUS FLORIDVS HYEMALIS CR. PASSAEI FIL.

CHamaemeli herba vulgaris licet sit, ejus tamen flores non vltimam laudem, cùm ob formam, tum ob aptissimum Medicinae usum, merentur.

Est esui ac alueo subducendo cum lactucâ conveniens, unde Martialis. Vtere Lactucis, & mollibus utere Maluis. XII. OLEA. OLea Minervae tribuitur, quod semper vireat; & pacis est symbolum, vivax quoque est, & diutissimè durat, adeo ut Theophrasto teste, ad 200●. perveniat annum: Veteribus ut probata, sic & nostris usibus frequens, nec a Medicorum Pharmacis aliena: unde quoq: Martialis ejus fructus olim in delitijs fuisse videtur hoc disticho innuere: Haec quae Picenis venit subducta trapetis Inchoat, atque eadem claudit Oliva dapes. 11 L.

Semen ejus calefaciendi vim habere scribitur; Meminit quoque ejus Bapt: Fiera ineleganti suâ caenâ, hoc disticho. Vesicae lapides si Pimpinella remollit, Ignita est, iecori sana, lienque tibi. XIIII. ANTIRRHINUM. ANtirrhinum Belgae orant vocant, cui caules sunt rotundi, glabri, fragiles & ramosi; folia multa, ut plurimùm oblonga & acuminata, Linariae similia, sed majora: Flores secundum caules superiori part ordine digesti, formâ oblongi, anteriori part latiores; qui aperti hiantis leonis rictum referunt, unde Columella, Nascissique comas & hiantis saeva leonis Ora feri. colore roseo rubentes, aut candidi, vel ex candido purpurascentes, non rarò etiam sublutei; quos deinde capitulum sequitur, oblongum, anteriore part angustius & foraminosum, narium vituli similitudine; in quo semen parvum & sub ingricans.

IS frutex qui nobis Haechdoorn, Lonicero Cynosbatus Theophrasti ee creditur & Latinè rubum caninum dici posse existimat. Certè descriptio Dioscoridis non valdè ab hoc nostro differt: Frutex (inquit) est arboris instar, rubo long major, folia fert multo latiora Myrto, firmis circa ramos spinis, flore candido, fructu oblongo, nucleo Olivae simili, qui per maturitatem slavescit ac rubescit, & flocculos intus continet. 15 L.

Omnibus ferè pectoris vitijs mederi creditur, & tussientibus prodesse. XVIII. MESPILUS. MEspilus Aronia (ut putant) Dioscoridis, arbor est mali vulgaris altitudine inferior, ramis in gyrum comosis asperisue; folio promisso, tenui, & longo pediculo; flore subherbaceo, Amigdalae formâ; fructu, dum pubescit, viridi & duro, ubi maturùerit fulvo ac molli, circa verticem cristato vel potius coronato, quatuor imò quinque intus nucleis lapideis, unde divulgaris apud Germanos versiculus. Kein Ionckfrou ward ne so reyn, Ass sie drei nespelen, gib sie von ihr funfftzen stain.

Hi●flosculi apud nos hortorum sunt delitiae, in Germaniâ etiam sponte in pratis & montibus nascuntur. Vsus horum in medicinis olim nullus, sed in coronis frequentissimus fuit: Nunc autem calculo atterendo ac educendo, comitiali etiam morbo laborantibus succum utilem credi, scriptum Fuchsius reliquit. XX. MALUS CITRIA. MAlus citria vel Assyria ab odore commendatur Amat loca calida, quae causa quod in Germaniâ rara sit; folium fert Lauri, perpetuâ frondens comâ, intercursantibus in ramulis spinis, fructu perenni: Arbor omnibus horis est pomisera, alijs cadentibus, alijs maturescentibus, alijs vero subnascentibus pomis. Huius poëtarum apud nos princeps sic meminit in Georgicis: Ipsaingens arbos, faciemque simillima Lauro, Et si non alium latè iactaret odorem, Laurus erat; folia haud ullis labentia ventis; Flos apprima tenax: animas et olentia Medi Ora fovent illo, & senibus medicantur anhelis. 19 L.

Temperamento est frigido. XXII. LEUCOIUM. LEucojon a foliorum non florum colore sic dictum, ut olim veteribus non incognitum, & a Theophrasto quoque descriptum, ita & hody in nostris hortis frequens est, vocantq: Belgae stockviolieren, multiplici, tam magnitudinis, quàm colorum in floribus, differentiâ.

MVscipula sine viscaria haec, Clusij videtur esse Lychnis silvestris altera, flore muscoso; quae Germanis Lymcruyt dici posset, ob viscosum quo abundat succum, qui non solum tangentium digitis adheret, sed & muscas praetervolantes ad se trahit, & veluti reti quodam involuit, unde & Belgae ei nomen uliegenet, ut Latinum exprimerent, dederunt. Habet caules geniculatos; folia lata & venosa, e singulis fere geniculis bina; flores in summo multos & odoratos, colore pulcro roseo rubentes, vel dilutè purpurascentes. Et quamvis nullas ejus in re medicâ vires agnoscat Dodonaeus, sunt tamen qui adversus pestem valere arbitrantur. XXIIII. ACULEIFOLIUM. Aquifolium vel potius Aculeifolium Agriam ee Theophrasti credidit Tragus, & Lauri silvestris speciem; quod aliquando arborescit, & in majorem excrescit crassitiem: ramos habet nihilominus teneros & flexibiles, ex duro tamen ligno nigrescente & ponderoso, quod lapidis instar in aquas conjectum mergitur, cortice verò tegitur aequali: Folia etiam sunt & aequalia & nitida, saturè virescentia, a Lauri folijs non multùm distantia, sed minora, & acutis in ambitu spinis armata, quae cum arboris aetate minuuntur. Flosculos producit candidos & odoriferos, fructus rotundis instar pisarum, & rubentes, quorum nucleus est subalbidus & ingrati saporis, qui colicis prodesse creditur. 23 L. G. A. 24 L.

Floris color est ferè melleus, sed & aliorum colorum flores in hortis curiosorum mangonio inveniuntur. XXVIII. PYRUS. Wlgaris arbor Pyrus, quae nihilominus gratissimos orbi fructus profert, infinita differentiâ varios, nec ea dissimilitudo formâ tantùm, sed pyra & bonitate constat: Stomacho grati sunt & desiccant, plus tamen astringunt silvestria, quamvis minus grati saporis, ideòque in fluxibus valentiora domesticis creduntur. 27 L.

XLII. JUNIPERUS. SOla fere arborum Iuniperus foetus suos in biennium prorogat, qui ne maturescunt quidem novis supervenientibus; simile tamen de Grano (ita vocant piperis rotundi speciem, quae plurima in Africa littoribus nascitur) nostri mercatores referunt; quod is fructus secundo demùm anno perficiatur. Baccae eius Arceuthides Dioscoridi dictae, stomacho utiles sunt, contra pectoris vitia, tussim, inflammationes, tormina, serpentum ictus, & ut nostri putant pestilentis aeris infectiones efficacissime sumuntur.

VOlubilis minor, Dioscoridis Helxine Cissampelos esse videtur, diversa tamen ab Helxine, quam parietariam vocant: folijs describitur ab eodem Hederae, sed minoribus; flores autem fert punicei ferè coloris candidis interdum stellis distinctos. Oculis rubentibus & calculo medetur. LXXVIII. PINUS. DEpinu hoc modo fabulati sunt veteres: Pinus puella prius erat, & mutationem naturae duplicis assumpsit. Amabat n. puellam Pan, amabat eandem etiam Boreas. Quùm autem uterque puellam alliceret, ipsa Panis amore magis afficiebatur, & ob hanc rem Boreas aemulatione motus puellam in petras impulit, ac neci tradidit. Terra porrò miserta cladem, plantam puellae cognominem reddidit ac produxit. At permutatá vita erga eosdem priores affectus servat, & Pana quidem germine suo coronat. Flet a. & lamentatur arbor, ubi Boream afflantem percipit. Hujus arboris nux lignosa, in turbinatam effigiem compacta cujus commoda hoc descripsit tetrastico. Fiera: Ebullit nimiumque sitit, pulmonibus imis Debita, vex coquitur Pinea, sed bene alit: Intestina fovet, nervis regidoque lapillo Subvenit, & Veneri grata, fugit Cybelen. 78 L. Pinus cum comis G.

Locis nascitur planis & sabulosis & in hortis passim. Mense carpitur julio. Melancholicis ac languentibus in cibo cum Spinachiâ Buglossum est saluberrimum, flore in potum etiam injecto. Hujus sic meminit Bapt: Fiera: Si tibi Buglossa est succi & Borrago tepentis, Loetus eris, siccum nec tibi pectus erit. LXXX. AQVILEGIA FLORE PLENO. HAec Aquilegia multiplici tantum foliorum in floribus conjunctione a simplici ac vulgari differt, nec multà descriptione indiget cùm ubique sit obvea & nemini ignota. Calida est mediocriter ac modicè digerit. Stillatitia florum aqua, est praecipuum contra syncopen confortatinum.

GRamen hoc Clusius Amerium tenui folium montanum vocat, flores habet in summo caulis plures, conjunctos in orbem, & purpurascentes vel caeruleos. Lonicerus videtur appellare gramen aquaticum quod Germanis Entengrass dicitur, ex eo quòd anates maximè silvestres Hyemali tempore hoc victitent. Nascitur in aquis stagnantibus graminis formâ. Decoctum radicis in potu tumoribus & urinae difficultatibus meditur. LXXXIIII. GLADIOLUS PALUSTRIUS. GLadiolus palustris folia habet oblonga, tenua; caulem tres pedes Altum, aequalem, & sine internodijs, in cujus vertice plures flosculi apparent, colore subpurpureo, vel ut pictura indicat rubescente, quorum in centro, noduli, ex crocei vel miniata, in quibus semen latet perexiguum.

HOrminum 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Graecis dictum placet Ruellio, quòd Venerem stimulet, Semen n. ejus bibitur ad Venerem stimulandam; Officinis Gallitricum est. Folia habet Saluiae formâ rugosa asperitate praedita; caulem sesquipedalem leniter hirsutum, in quadrangulum striatum; flores è caerulaeo in purpureum vergentes, ad Aquilini rostri effigiem falcatos; In pratis sponte nascitur. Floret & semine in julio est praegnans. Aculeos corpori in fixos per se ex aquâ illitum, extrahit. Folia ex aceto imposita, panos per se vel cum melle discutiunt. Dodonaeus tamen avestre hoc nullius esse facultatis putat. LXXXVI. MALUS ASSYRIA. MAlum Assyrium Itali hody pomum Adami vocant, quia vulgò creditur semili pomo deceptum in paridiso Adamum protoplastum, divina mandata supergressum, dicuntue insuper morsus in eo extare etianum reliquias, ita scilicet eius pomi strias interpretantes.

Locis cultis, ac hody nusquam non in hortis provenit, estue perinde omnibus nota. Huius sic meminit Poëtarum princeps virg: in Georgicis. Mollia luteola pingit vacinia caltha. Pulvis florum cum Xylino dentium dolores sedat. Aridi flores & folia suffitu mensis mirò cient. Herba etiam condimentis & acetarijs miscetur. LXXXVIII. RUTA. RVta communis, cui, hîc expressa herba non malu convenit, omnibus notissima est. Verù Ruta muraria, cuius nomen notitia praefert Adianti species esse videtur.

Herba etiam fullonis ob dictos effectus est appellata. Idem lonicerus Struthion Dioscoridis putat. Dodonaeus autem credidit Alismatis sive Damasonij quandam esse speciem, quem plura de hâc scribentem, vide in historiâ florum & Herbarum odoratarum. XC. ROSA MOSCHETTA. HAec Rosa, quinta Rosarum hortensis species Dodonaei, ramis & virgis caninam silvestrem Rosam quodammodo refert; florem habens simplicem, quinque folia non excedentem, exalbido purpurascentis, venis puniceis intercurrentibus & odore admodum fraganti gratissimum. Huius laudes inter tot veteris ac recentes scriptores non omisit Strabus in eleganti suo hortulo, sed his inter alios versibus expressit: tantum qui protinus omnes Herbarum vicisse comas, virtute & odore Dicitur, ut merito florum flos esse veratur. 90 L.

Hunc nostrum Anguriam Aetij ee putant, frigidae ac humidae temporaturae, quare & Simeoni Setho minus probata; plura nihilominus ejus commoda Dioscorides recenset. XCII. OTHONNA. ESt Othonna, Troglodytica quaedam herba, in eo Arabiae tractu nascens, qui ad Aegyptum spectat: folia habet (ait Dioscorides Erucae similia; foraminosa velutis a tineis erosa, squallida, paucifolia: florem fert crocinum latifolium; quare quidam Anemones esse speciem putaverunt. At quamvis iste flos aspectu non sit ingratus, odore tamen est adeò gravi, adeoue inamaeno, ut ne gustare quidem ipse Galenus ausus fuerit, sed lethalem esse conijceret: veteres verò eadem herbâ (quam idem Galenus Lycopersium esse arbitratur) usi sunt ad urgentes articulorum dolores.

Dioscorides, Cicer, inquit, sativum aluo idoneum est, urinam ciet, inflationem parit, colorem commendat, mensas ac partus expellit, lac angel. De Cicere sic in suâ coenâ Baptista Fiera: Feruet & aiescit cicer omne, sed ignea vincunt Subnigra pulmoni prima alimenta tuo, Haec reduci formae, & vocum concentibus apta, Si data sint mensas inter utrasque tibi. Cortice non posito, renes, iecur, atque lienem, Vesicamque fovent, & Venerem faciunt. XCIIII. VIOLA TRICOLOR.

Hujus tria faciunt genera: primum haec nostra est fragaria, multis a radice lanuginosis pediculis, uorum alij flore candido corenantur, alij trigemino comantur folio, per ambitum crenato & venoso, alij fructum gerunt exiguis moris haud dissimilem cum maturuit rubentem cum gustu tum odore suavissimum. Succus foliorum vulnera ardentia sanare & glutinare traditur. CIIII PSEVDO-MELANTHIVM. PSeudo-Melanthium herba est inter segetes nascens folijs, allij modo acuminatis, sed brevioribus pilosisue; florem fert menso junio ex vasculo hispido purpureum, paruae & quinque foliae rosae similem, quo decidente capitulum ceu vasculum manet, longiusculum, angulosum, hirsutumue in quo semen nigrum. Folia cum semine Chirurgis sunt in usu. Videtur ᵃ esse Hippocratis Melanthium ex tritico, ac Octavij Horati ani Sith, quibus fere in omnibus convenit. 104 L. Pseudo melanthium G. Nielle de blede A.

ESt hic fructus multiplici varietate Colorum, magnitudinis ac etiam formae notissimus, & supra cum sua quoque arbore descriptus; De hoc sic Simeon Sethus in Sytagmate de libariorum facultatibus: Cerasia, quae & sic Graecis dicta frigida sunt & humida, maliue succi, ventrem subducunt, stomacho parum idonea, humidum ventriculum laedunt, praesertim cum matura non sunt: sed calidis & siccis ventricalis & temperaturis prosunt. Gummia arboris cum vino sumptum, calculosos sanat. CVI MALUS PERSICA. PErsica malus sic dicta, quòd ex persica primum sit allata: gaudet locis aquosis, folia fert Amydalae, sed maiora: floret primo statum vere cum Amygdalis, flore subpuniceo, pomum producit carno, succulentum, foris lanuginosum durâ intus & scabrâ nuce, in quâ nucleus quilas in Amygdalis. Persica m●la in ardentibus febribus sumi possunt; sed frequens eorum usus multum phlegmatis gignit, horum sic meminit Fiera. Rosa sumus plwio mox putrenscentut, ventri Fida calescenti, si modo prima damur. Mollia laxamus ventres, siccata tenemus; Nos timuit Persis, sed tibi grata sumus. postremum hunc versum quoque hec sequenti disticho expressit Martial.

Haec Veneri olim gratissima fuisse leguntur: & Solon teste Plutarcho, jubebat sponso concubituram; prius edere malum Cydonium, quòd & eleganti emblemate expressit Alciatus: Poma novis tribui debere Cydonia nuptis Dicitur antiquus constituisse Solon, Grata ori & stomacho cùm sint, ut & halitus illis Sit suavis, blandis manet & ore lepos. 118 L.

LVteo Leucoio a floribus sic dicto, ramosi sunt caules folia oblonga in virore nigricantia, minora folijs Leucoij candidi: flores lutei perquam odorati; floret Aprili & Majo, etsi Hyems clemens fuerit etiam Martio. Totus frutex lignosus est, & Hyemis rigorem facile sustinet; in ruderibus & saxosis locis libentius nascitur, unde nostri Muerbloemen vocant. Est autem Leucoij frutex universus, ut Galenus ait, extergentis facultatis, ac tenuium partium, plus tamen flores: Dioscorides etiam lutea Leucoia praecipui in medicinâ usus esse scribit; Et Hippocrates ad secundas educendas ejus semen valere tradit. CXX. VITIS. VT vitis infinitâ vuarum differentiâ luxuriare solet, sic & vinorum inde expressorum, tot ferè sunt genera quot loca ubi nascuntur, ex quibus & nomina variare, & formas, didicêre. Plinius, vino, inquit, modico nervi juvantur, copiosiore laeduntur; sic & oculi, stomachus recreatur, appetentia ciborum invitatur, tristitiae cura hebetatur, urina & algor expellitur, somnus conciliatur: contra si nimius adhibeatur vini usus, belluina cornua capessimus etc. Atque ita ejus vel commoda, vel damna in modo consistere docemur. At hujus demum laudes & simul librum eleganti finiam Bapt: Fierae carmine: Dulcis & apricis delecta in collibus vua, Terreus huic cortex, feruidus humor inest. Excipe de nigris quae sit tibi gratior albam, Neue inflet, soles sit remorata duos. Bacche quid hoc maius potuisti munere? nutrit Hac bene▪ visi●ae sed male sana nocet. 120 L. Botrys, Vua G.
