Description: This shooteth forth many long Branches partly lying upon the Ground, and part standing upright, set with almost round Leavs, yet a little pointed, and somtimes more long than round, without order theron, somwhat hoary, and of an evil greenish white colour; at the Joynts all along the Stalks, and with the Leavs come forth smal Flowers one at a place, upon a very small short Footstalk, gaping somwhat like Snapdragons, or rather like Toadflax, with the upper Jaw of a yellow colour, and the lower of a Purplish, with a small heel or Spur behind, after which come small round Heads, containing smal black Seed. The Root is smal and threddy, dying every yeer, and raiseth it self again of its own sowing.
There is another sort of Lluellin which hath longer Branches wholly trailing upon the ground two or three foot long, and somtimes more, thinner set with Leavs theron, upon smal Footstalks: The Leavs are a little larger and somwhat round, and cornered somtimes in some places on the edges; but the lower part of them being the broadest, hath on each side a smal point, making it seem as if they were Ears, somwhat hairy but not hoary, and of a better green colour than the former; The Flowers come forth like the former, but the colours therein are more white than yellow, and the Purple not so fair: It is a larger Flower, and so are the Seed, and Seed Vessels: The Root is like the other, and perisheth every yeer.
Place: They grow in divers Corn Fields, and in borders about them, and in other fertile grounds, about Southfleet in Kent abundantly, at Buckworth, Hamerton, and Richwesworth in Huntingtonshire; and in divers other places.
Time: They are in Flower about June and July, and the whol Plant is dry and withered before August be done.
Use: The Leavs bruised and applied with Barley Meal to watering Eyes that are hot and inflamed by defluxions from the Head, doth very much help them, as also the Fluxes of Blood or Humors, as the Lask, Bloody Flux, Womens Courses, and staieth all manner of bleeding at Nose, Mouth, or any other place, or that cometh by any Bruis, or Hurt, or bursting a Vein; and wonderfully it helpeth all those inward parts that need consolidating or strengthening: and is no less effectual both to heal and close green Wounds, as to clens or heal all foul or old Ulcers, fretting or spreading Cankers or the like.
Bees are industrious and go abroad to gather Honey from each Plant and Flower, but Drones lie at home, and eat up what the Bees have taken pains for; Just so do our Colledg of Physitians, lie at home and domineer, and suck out the Sweetness of other Mens Labors and Studies, themselvs being as ignorant in the Knowledg of Herbs as a Child of four yeers old, as I can make appear to any Rational man by their last Dispensatory, now then to hide their Ignorance, there is not a readier way in the World, than to hide Knowledg from their Country men, that so no Body might be able so much as to smel out their Ignorance, when Simples were more in use mens Bodies were in better health by far than now they are, or shall be if the Colledg can help it. The truth is, this Herb is of a fine cooling, drying quality, and an Oyntment or Plaister of it, might do a Man a courtsie that hath any hot virulent Sores, 'tis admirable for the Ulcers of the French Pox, and being a gallant Antivenerian Medicine, under the Dominion of Saturn, if taken inwardly may cure the Diseas. It was at first called Faemale Speedwel, but a Shentle man of Wales whose Nose was almost eaten off with the Pox, and so neer the matter, that the Docters commanded it to be cut off, being cured by only the Use of this Herb, to honor the Herb for saving his Nose whol, gave it one of her own Country names, Lluellin.
Edgenote: Eyes, Flux. Bloody Flux, Terms stops, Wounds, Ulcers, Cankers.
