For stomach Wormes, annoynt the stomach with Oyle of _Wormwood,_
and the belly with Oyle of sweet _Almonds_, for belly Wormes take
all of _Wormwood_, Oyle of _Savine_, and the Powder of _Aloe Cicatrina_,
finely beaten, annoynt the belly therewith, morning and evening.
You must not use _Savine_ in Medicines for Mayden Children,
but in stead of Oyle of _Savine_, take as much of an Oxes
Gall.
_To make the best white Puddings_.
Take a pound of _Almonds_, blanch them, putting in
a little Milk sometime to them in the stamping, then put to them
three handfulls of fine Flower, or as much grated bread first baked
in an Oven, six Eggs well beaten, a good deale of marrow cut in
little pieces, season them with _Nutmeg_ and _Sugar_, three spoonfulls
of _Rose-water_, and a little Salt; temper them all together,
with as much Cream as will serve to wet or mingle them; and so
fill them up.
_An Almond Candle_.
Blanch Jordan _Almonds_, beat them with a little small Ale, and
strayne them out with as much more Ale as you minde to make
your Caudle of, then boyle it as you doe an Egg Caudle, with a
little Mace in it, and when it is off the fire sweeten it with Sugar.
_To make fine white Leach of Almonds_.
Take halfe a pound of small Almonds, beat them, and strayne
them with Rose water, and sweet Milk from the Cow, and put into
it two or three pieces of large Mace, one graine of Musk, two
ounces of Isinglasse, and so boyle it in a Chafin-dish of coales, a
quarter of an hour, till it will stand, which you shall try thus,
set a saucer in a little cold water, so that none come into it, and
put a spoonfull of the Leach into it, and if you see that stand, rake
the other off the fire, then you may slice it in what fashion you
please.
_To make Almond Butter_.
Blanch one pound of _Almonds_, or more; or lesse, as you please,
lay them four hours in cold water, then stamp them with some
Rose water, as fine as you can, put them in a cloath, and presse
out as much Milk as you can, then if you think they be not enough
beat them, and straine them againe, till you get as much
Milk of them, as you can, then set it on the fire, till they be ready
to boyle, putting in a good quantity of Salt and Rose water, to
turne it after one boyling, being turned, take it off, cast it abroad
upon a linnen cloath, being holden between two, then with a
spoon take off the Whey under the cloath, so long as any will
drop or run, then take so much of the finest Sugar you can get, as
will sweeten it, and melt it in as much Rose-water as will serve to
dissolve it, put thereto so much _Saffron_ in fine powder, as will colour
it, and so steeping the _Saffron_ and _Sugar_ in Rose-water, season
your Butter therewith, when you make it up.
