Lemon, all shred very small, Salt, beaten Nutmeg, Cloves and mace mixed
together, with the yolks of four or five Eggs, and a little sweet Cream;
then have ready the great Gutts of a Mutton scraped and washed very
clean; let your Gutt have lain in white-wine and Salt halfe a day before
you use it; when your meat is mixed and made up somewhat stiff put it
into the Sheeps-gutt, and so boyl it, when it is boyled enough, serve it
