Im calidam ſiccāqꝫ gradu fert menta ſecūdo
Illius potu vis digeſtiua iuuatur
Confortat ſtomachū vomitū quoqꝫ detinet hauſta
Lumbricoſqꝫ modo depellere fertur eodem
Diuerſis morbis ocurrit teſticulorum
Si foueantur aqua qua menta cocta ſit herba
Lac ſoluit mammis ſi ſit ſuperaddita trita
Inſtillata fugat auris cum melle dolorem
Aſperitas lingue fugit illa ſepe fricata
Hauſtaqꝫ cum ſapa partum ſolet accelerare
Trita canis morſum ſuperaddita cum ſale curat
Hec emotoicis miſto ſuccurrit aceto
Matrici ſucus ſi ſubditus illius ante

And it is said to expel worms in the same manner.
It counters various diseases of the testicles
If they are fomented with water in which the mint herb has been boiled.
It releases milk in the breasts if it is applied crushed.
Instilled with honey, it drives away pain of the ear.
Roughness of the tongue flees when rubbed often with it.
And drunk with must, it is accustomed to accelerate childbirth.
Crushed and applied with salt, it cures a dog's bite.
It aids those who spit blood when mixed with vinegar.
If its juice is introduced into the womb before
intercourse takes place: a woman does not conceive from it.
Its juice does not allow cheeses to putrefy
when mixed in: or if the green herb is added on top.

Quam fiat coitus: mulier non concipit inde
Caſeolos ſucus putreſcere non ſinit eius
Ammiſtus: vel ſi viridis ſuperadditur herba
