Description: Abundance are the sorts of this Herb, that to describe them all would tire the Patience even of Socrates himself, but because I have not yet attained to the Spirit of Socrates, I shall but describe the most usual.
The most common Crowfoot hath many dark green Leavs cut into divers parts, in tast biting & sharp, biting & blistering the Tongue, it bears many Flowers and those of a bright resplendent yellow colour, I do not remember that ever I saw any thing yellower, Virgins in Ancient time used to make Pouder of them to strew Bride Beds, after which Flowers come smal heads of Seeds, round, but tugged like a Pine Apple.
Many are the Names this furious biting Herb hath obtained, almost enough to make up a Welch-mans Pedegree, if he fetch it no further than John of Gaunt of William the Conqueror, for it is called Frogs-foot from the Greek name [Greek transliteration for 'bad potion'], Crowfoot, Gold Knobs, Gold Cups, King Kob, Bassinets, Troll Flower, Polts, Locker Goulons, and Butter-Flowers.
Place: They grow very common every where, unless you run your Head into a Hedg you cannot chuse but see some of them wherever you walk.
Time: They Flower in May and June, even till September.
Use: This fiery and hot spirited Herb of Mars is no way fit to be given inwardly, but an Oyntment of the Leavs or Flowers wil draw a Blister and may so be fitting applied to the nape of the Neck to draw back Rhewm from the Eyes, the Herb being bruised and mixed with a little Mustard, draws a Blister as well and as perfectly as Cantharides, and with far less danger to the Vessels of Urin which Cantharides Naturally delight to wrong, I knew the Herb once applied to a Pestilential rising that was falling down, and it saved life even beyond hope, it were good keeping an Oyntment and Plaister of it if it were but for that.
