Description: The greater ordinary Bazil riseth up usually with one upright Stalk diversly branching forth on all sides, with two Leaves at every Joynt, which are somewhat broad and round, yet pointed, of a pale green colour, but fresh, a little snipt about the edges, and of a strong heady scent: The Flowers are smal and white standing at the tops of the Branches, with two smal Leavs at the Joynt, in som places green, in others brown, after which come black Seed. The Root perisheth at the approach of Winter, and therfore must be new sowen every year.
Place: It only groweth in Gardens.
Time: It must be sowed late, and flowers in the heat of Summer, being a very tender Plant.
Use: This is the Herb which all Authors are together by the Ears about, and rail at one another like Lawyers: Galen and Diascorides hold it not fitting to be taken inwardly: and Chrysippus rails at it with downright Billingsgate-Rhetorick. Pliny, and the Arabian Physitians defend it.
For mine own part I presently found that speech true;
Non nostrum inter nos tantas componere lites.
And away to Dr. Reason went I, who told me it was an Herb of Mars, and under the Scorpion, and perhaps therfore called Basilicon, and then no mervail if it carry a kind of virulent quality with it: Being applied to the place bitten by a venemous Beast, or stung by a Wasp or Hornet, it speedily draws the Poyson to it; Every like draws his like. Myzaldus affirms, That it being laid to rot in Horsdung it wil breed Venemous Beasts. And Hollerius a French Physitian affirms upon his own knowledg, That an acquaintance of his by common smelling to it, had a Scorpion bred in his Brain. Somthing is the matter this Herb and Rue wil not grow together, no nor near one another: And we know Rue is as great an enemy to Poyson as any grows.
To conclude: It expelleth both Birth, and After-birth; and as it helps the deficiency of Venus in one kind, so it spoils al her actions in another. I dare write no more of it.
Edgenote: Venemous Beasts, Bees, Wasps, Hornets.
