As Galen saith It helpeth all the infirmities of the
melte: it is a remedie against obstructions &
& hard wemine swellinge: it taketh a waye
ould head aches, the fallinge sicknesse, mad
nesse that cometh of melancollie, & espetially
that which proceedeth from the spleene & pts therabout:
it is good for those that have the ffuewe
disease, & such as be troubled with contagious
ulcers, the leprosie, & the scabbie [euill?].
It purgeth downewarde blacke & melan-
cholicke humours, as Aetius, Actuarius, &
Mesues write; & also plegme as Dioscorides
noteth: that like wyse purgeth by stoole
which groweth upon Gavorie & Scabius,
but more weakely, as Actuarius sayth.
Suscuta, or dodder that groweth upon [thape?]
boyled in water or wines drunke, openeth
the stoppinge of the liver, the bladder, the
gaule, the wilt the kidneies & penies,
purgeth both by seige & [brwe?] cholericke
humours.

Its good against the Ague that hath continude
alone tyme, & against the iaundise, I
meane that dodder espetially that groweth
upon brambles.

Epuirtica, or dodder growinge upon netles,
is a most singular & effectuall medicine to
pvoke urine, & to loose the obstructions of the
bodye, & is pred ofen tymes in the [wet pts?] to
have good successe against any maladies.
