Transcriber’s Notes:

Only the most obvious punctuation errors were repaired. Due to the age of the manuscript, most spelling and hyphenation variations were retained as printed. For example, if the reader is looking for anniseed, search also for annis-seed, aniseed and annis seed, etc. Changes made to the text are noted below. Only things that seemed to be clearly typos instead of 1600s spelling variations were changed and noted below. For example, text consistently uses “tertain” instead of “tertian.” Also watch for œ where one might expect æ and vice versa. “Bean” is often spelled as “Been.”

Occasionally, items are out of alphabetical order. For example, Malahathram is located in the beginning of the F section. This was retained as printed. At times, in long lists of names, certain plants are repeated and this was retained.

Most but not all Latin terms are italicized. These were retained as printed.

Some section titles were formatted in a certain way with a change made mid-section. Each was retained as printed. For example at the end of page 283, the paragraph after the italic title that began with “Or” was laid out as all other paragraphs. Two pages later, the paragraphs beginning with “Or” were included with the italic centered title.
