Description: This hath divers large, round, thin, yellowish green Leavs, rising from the Root, a little waved about the edges, every one standing on a reasonable thick, and long brownish Footstalk; from among which, riseth up a pretty big Stalk about two foot high, with some such like Leavs growing thereon, but smaller. At the top whereof stand in a long spike many smal brownish Flowers, which turn into hard three square shining brown Seed, like the Garden Patience before described. This Root groweth greater than that, with many Branches or great Fibres thereat, yellow on the outside, and somwhat pale yellow within, with some discoloured veins like to the Rubarb which is first discribed, but much less than it, especially when it is dry.
Place: These also grow in Gardens
Time: and Flower and Seed at or neer the same time that our true Rubarb doth, Viz. they Flower in June, and the Seed is ripe in July.
Use: A dram of the dried Root of Monks Rubarb, with a scruple of Ginger made into Pouder and taken fasting in a draught or mess of warm Broth, purgeth Choller and Flegm downward very gently, and safely without danger: The Seed thereof contrarily doth bind the Belly, and helpeth to stay any sort of Lask or Bloody Flux. The distilled water thereof is very profitably used to heal Scabs, as also foul Ulcerous Sores, and to allay the Inflamations of them: The Juyce of the Leavs or Roots, or the Decoction of them in Vinegar is used as a most effectual Remedy to heal Scabs and running Sores.
The Bastard Rubarb hath all the properties of the Monks Rubarb, but more effectual for both inward and outward Diseases. The Decoction thereof with Vinegar dropped into the Ears, taketh away the pains: gargled in the Mouth, taketh away Toothach, and being drunk healeth the Jaundice. The Seed thereof taken easeth the gnawing and griping pains of the Stomach, and taketh away the loathing thereof unto Meat: The Root thereof helpeth the ruggedness of the Nails, and being boyled in Wine helpeth the Swellings of the Throat, commonly called the Kings evil, as also the Swellings of the Kernels of the Ears: It helpeth them that are troubled with the Stone; provoketh Urine, and helpeth the dimness of the Sight. The Roots of this Bastard Rubarb are used in opening and purging Diet Drinks with other things, to open the Liver, and to clens and cool the Blood.
The properties of that which is called the English Rubarb, are the same with the former, but much more effectual, and hath all the properties of the true Indian Rubarb, except the force in purging, wherein it is but of half the strength thereof, and therfore a double quantity must be used: it likewise hath not that bitterness and astriction; in other things it worketh almost in an equal quality, which are these: It purgeth the Body of Choller and Flegm, being either taken of it self, made into Pouder and drunk in a draught of white Wine, or steeped therein all night and taken fasting, or put among other Purgers, as shall be thought convenient, clensing the Stomach, Liver, and Blood, opening Obstructions, and helping those griefs that come thereof; as the Jaundice, Dropsie, swelling of the Spleen, Tertian and day Agues, and the pricking pain of the sides, and also it stayeth spitting of Blood. The Pouder taken with Cassia dissolved, and a little wash'd Venice Turpentine, clenseth the Reins and strengthneth them afterwards, and is very effectual to stay the running of the Reins or Gonorrea. It is also given for the pains and swellings in the Head, for those that are troubled with Melancholly, and helpeth the Sciatica, the Gout, and the Cramp. The Pouder of Rubarb taken wih a little Mummia and Madder Roots in some red Wine, dissolveth clotted Blood in the Body, hapning by any fall or bruise, and healeth burstings and broken parts as well inward as outward: The Oyl likewise wherein it hath been boyled, worketh the like effects, being anointed. It is used to heal those Ulcers that happen in the Eyes and Eyelids, being steeped and strained; as also to asswage the Swellings and Inflamations; and applied with Honey, or boyled Wine, it taketh away all black and blue Spots or Marks that happen therein. Whey, or white Wine are the best Liquors to steep it in, and thereby it worketh more effectually in opening Obstructions, and purging the Stomach and Liver. Many do use a little Indian Spicknard as the best Correcter thereof.
Mars claims Predominancy over all these wholsom Herbs, you cry out upon him for an infortune, when God created him for your good (only he is angry with Fools) what dishonor is this, not to Mars, but to God Himself.
