faire water, put thereto _French Barley_, a _Fennill_ root, a _Parsly_
root, _Violet_ leaves, _Strawberry_ leaves, and _Cinquefoyle_ leaves, and
boyle them all together, till the meat be over boyled, then strayne out
the liquor from the rest, while they are boyling blanch a proportion
of _Almonds_ answerable to the liquor, beat them well in a clean
stone Morter, and then grind them therein with _Rose_ water and
_Sugar_, and when they are well ground put in all your liquor by

Reines._
Make _Almond_ Milke of _Plantine_ water, or else boyle _Plantine_
in the liquor whereof you make your _Almond_ Milk, take a quart of
it, and put thereto three spoonfulls of _Lentive farine_, and three
spoonfulls of _Cinamon_ water, take of this at six in the morning, a
good draught, two hours before dinner another, at four of the
clock in the afternoon, a third, and two hours after supper a
fourth; and twice or thrice between meals, eat a spoonfull of
Conserve of Red _Roses_ at a time.
_Oyle of Almonds_.
Take _Almonds_, blanch them, and put them into a pot, and set
that pot in another pot of water that boyleth, and the steam of
the seething pot will arise and enter into the pot with the _Almonds_,
and that will become Oyle when they are stamped and wringed
through a cloath. Thus they make Oyle of the kernels of _Filberts,
Walnuts,_ &c.

and picked with _Bourage, Buglos, Violet_ leaves, and _Lettice_, of each
one handfull, boyle them with the _Barley_, till more then halfe be
consumed; then strayne out the liquor, and take of blanched
_Almonds_ a handfull, of the seeds of _Melons, Cucumbers, Citralls_, and
_Gourds_, husked, of each halfe a quarter of an ounce, beat these
seeds, and the _Almonds_ together, in a stone morter, with so much
_Sugar_, and Rose-water as is fit, and strayne them through a cleane
cloath into the liquor, and drink thereof at night going to bed,
and in the night, if this doth not sufficiently provoke sleep, then

beads, or a little of white _Poppey_.
