or Bason, when it begins to boyle skim it, then put thereto a handfull
of flour & yolks of three Eggs, which you must have well mingled
together with a Ladle-full of cold Milk, before you put it to the Milk
that boyles, and as it boyles, stir it all the while till it be enough,
and in the boyling, season it with a little Salt, and a little fine
beaten Sugar and so keeping it stirred till it be boyled as thick as you

other; mince it so small as you can season it with a few beaten Cloves,
Mace, and Nutmeg, into a Silver Dish, with a Ladlefull or two of the
Gravy of Mutton, wherein two or three Anchoves are dissolved; then set
it a stewing on a fire of Char-Coales, and after it is halfe stewed, as
it boyles, break in your Eggs, one by one, and as you break them, poure
away most part of the Whites, and with one end of your Egg-shell, make a
place in your Dish of meat, and therein put your Yolks of your Eggs,
round in order amongst your meat, and so let them stew till your Eggs be

Veale, a Ladle-full or two of strong broth, and as much gravy of Mutton,
an Onion or two, five or six Cloves, and a blade or two of Mace, and a
piece of Orange Pils; as your Pallats stew, make ready your Dish with
the bottoms and tops of two or three Cheat Loaves dryed and moystned
with some Gravy of Mutton, and the broth your Palats stew in, you must
have the Marrow of two or three beef-bones stewed in a little broth
between two Dishes in great pieces; when your Pallats and Marrow iss

the Broath they were stewed in & lay on your peices of Marrow, wring the
