The Vertues
The leaves of Adders toong stamped in
a stone morter, & boyled in oyle olive unto
the consumption of the juice, & untill the
herbs be drye & parched, then strayned,
will yeelde a most excellent greene oyle
or rather a Balsame for greene wounds,
comparable unto oyle of Saint Johns
wort, if it do not farre surpasse it by many
degrees: whose beautie is such, that very
many Artistes have thought the same
to bee mixed wth verdigrease.
