      Et ſu uertud es contra todos los toſſicos delos animales que non ſon mucho empozonados aſſi como arannas ⁊ bieſpas. ⁊ tauanos, ⁊ eſtas coſas menudas atales que naſcen dela tierra.
      And its virtue is against all of the venoms of the animals that are not as venomous, such as spiders, and wasps, and gadflies, and small things such as these that are born from the earth.
