dry, dip them in the whites of Eggs well beaten, and presently strew

Take your Artichokes, and cut off the stalks within two inches of the

take away the bitterness.

Take to every Gallon of good _Aquavitæ_, two Ounces of Licoras bruised,

dissolve in that clear six great spoonfuls of the best Molasses, then
put it into another Glass, then add to it some Dates and Raisins of the
Sun stoned; this is very good for the Stomach.

Stamp your Roses in a Mortar with a little Rosewater, and then distill

Take a Manchet and pare off the crust then slice it thin and whole round
the Loaf, and lay these slices into a deep dish cross ways, one slice
lying upon the edge of the other a little, that they may lye quite cross
the dish, then fill it up with Cream and put whole Spice therein, so set
it over a Chafing-dish of Coals very hot, and always cast the Cream all
over the Bread with a spoon till all be spent, which will be above an
hour, then take some Sack and sweeten it with Sugar, and pour all over
it, and serve it to the Table.
