This herbe is called Wormewood. The vertue of this herbe is good to comfort the hert, and clenseth the stomacke. [[Galen|Galyen]] sayth that this herbe hath two vertues, one is laxative, & the other is constypatyve. Therfore Galyen sayth that if this herbe be geven to any evell, of the which the matter is not fully defyed, it shal harde the stomacke, & let the degestion. And if the matter be ryped, it shall make a man laxatyve, and easely put awai the mater. If this herbe be drunk with [[Spikenard (Askham)|Spycknarde]], it will swageth the stomacke and wombe that are infected of wicked winds. Also if this berbe be tempered with hony, it will ease the swelling in a mannes mouth. Also it doth awaye the blcke myst in a mans eyes, & clereth the sight and if thys herbe be powned with the gal of a Bul, and afterwarde put in a mans eyes, it putteth away all manner impedimentes of the sight.<br />
