Thus is it put into its inestimable virtues, of which [I] will expose to you part,

Original French:  Ainſi eſt elle misſe en ſes ineſtimables vertus, des quelles vous expouſeray partie,

Modern French:  Ainsi est elle mise en ses inestimables vertus, des quelles vous expouseray partie,


inestimables vertus

Cf. Polydore Vergile, De Inventoribus rerum, VI, 1: «Mille lini usus sunt» etc. Rappelons que R., comme Pline, confond le chanvre et le lin.
