The vertues of Dodder

Dodder remooveth the stoppinge of the lyver [melt?]
or spleene, it disburtheneth the veines of fleg-
maticka, choloricke, crrupt & supfluous humors
pvoketh the veine gently, & in a meane openeth
kidnes, crureth the yellow ius [?] which are
ioyned with the stoppinge of the lyver &
gaule, it a remedie against crmpt &
longe [terticens?], quartians also, & proplye
agues in Infante & yonge children, as Mesues
sayth in Cerapio; who also teacheth, the nature
of dodder is to purge cholen by the stoole, &
that more effectually if it have worme woode
ioyned with it; but too much usinge of it, is
hurt full to the stomacke: yett Auicon writeth
that it doth not hurt it, but strengtheneth
a weake or feeble stomacke; which opinion
allso we do better allow of. Epithimum, or the
dodder which groweth upon tyme, is hotter
& dryer then the dodder that groweth upon
claye, that is to saye, even in the third degree
