XLV Notes for those that shall practise the compounding of Medicaments THose Sirrups that you make by infusion of Flowers to every pinte of Water you must adde foure ounces of Flowers and these must be done in Pipkins of earth well glased or in Vessels of Pewter or Silver with narrow mouthes that may be stopped close and not in Brasse nor Copper In making Sirrup of Roses and Violets c. which are made with many infusions it will be good that the first infusion be made with scalding water powred on them the rest of the infusions with warme water Boile your Sirrups softly upon a cleere Charcoale fire taking it from the fire when it is boiled and with a Spoone full of holes scum it cleane you shall know when it is boiled enough by the breath which comes out very strongly at first but when it is almost enough the fume
beare them up then turne them and cast on the rest of your Sugar but you must not let them seethe when you doe turne them because then they will breake on both sides but let them lie in hot Sirrup a while then turne the broken sides downewards againe and let them seethe softly a little while then may you turne them as often as you please and let them seeth reasonable fast till you think they be enough if you let them seethe long they will lose their colour and will be tough you must skinne them very cleane and when they be cold put them up in Glasses and put in foure or five Cloves and as many little slices of Cinamon of about an inch long thus you may preserve any Plummes but you must put neither Cloves nor Cinamon to your white Plummes To make Marmalade of Quinces 4 First take twelve quarts of fine running Water and put to it sixteene pound of Quinces well pared and coared and quartered into foure parts and put to them eight pound of Sugar and let all this seethe softly till it be more than halfe sodden away let them be close covered or else they will not be red when you see them of a good colour breake them with a spoone and boile them till they come to Marmalade You may dissolve a little Muske or a little Ambergreece in some Rose-water and put into it after the boiling to give it both a fine taste and smell when it begins to cleave to the spoone then take it from the fire and fill your Boxes and with a feather strike it over with Rosewater To preserve Grapes Barberies or Gooseberries 5 Take as much Sugar as they doe weigh and somewhat more and beate it very fine then take your preserving Pan or Skillet and lay a bed of Sugar and a bed of Fruit till you have laid all then take five or six spoonfulls of faire water as much as will wet the bottome of the Pan and boile them as fast as you can untill they be cleare then boile the Sirrup untill it will button upon the side of a dish and it is enough then put them up in pots To keep Quinces rawe all the yeare 6 Take some of the worst Quinces and cut them into small pieces and boile them in water untill it bee strong of the Quince put in the boiling to every Gallon two spoonfulls of Salt as much English Honey halfe a pinte of white Wine Vinegar then straine it and when it is cold put it into a woodden vessel and take as many of your best Quinces as will goe into that Liquor then stop them very close that no aire get into them and they will keep all the yeare To make Paste of Oranges and Lemons 7 Take your Oranges well coloured boile them tender in water shifting them sixe or seaven times in the boiling put into the first water a handfull of Salt then beate them in a wooden Bowle with a wooden Pestle straine them through a piece of Cushion Canvasse take the weight of them in Sugar and somewhat more then boile it and dry it and fashion it as you please and dry it in a warme Oven upon a Plate all night on the morrow turne it To make Paste of Genua the true way 8 Take Quinces and boile them in their skins then scrape all the pulpe from the coare straine it through a piece of Cushion Canvasse then take as much Sugar as the pulpe doth weigh put to it twice so much water as will melt it that is halfe a pinte to every pound of Sugar boile it to a candy height dry the pulpe upon a Chafingdish and Coales then put the Sugar and the pulpe hot together boile it with stirring untill it will lie upon a Plate even as you lay it and run no broader then fashion it some like leaves and some like letters so set your Plate in a warme Stove or Oven set it upon two billets of Wood up from the hearth of the Oven all one night in the morning turne it and so set it in the like heate againe and so every day turne untill it bee dry To make Paste of any tender Plummes 9 Take any tender Plummes and put them in an earthen Pot and put your Pot into a Pot of seething water and when they are dissolved straine all the thin water from them through a faire Cloth and set the Liquor by to make Quiddnie of then straine the pulpe through a piece of Canvasse then take as much Sugar as the pulpe doth weigh put to it as much water as will melt it and boile it to a Candy height Then boile the pulp of the Plummes very well upon the Coales and put it and the Sugar hot together so boile them with stirring then lay them upon a Pie plate and fashion it and dry it as before put some pulpe of Apples amongst the the pulpe of Plummes else it will be tough To make Marmalade of some of these Plummes 10 There is no more difference but in boiling it higher than your Paste till it come cleane from the bottome of the Skillet then boxe it To make conserve of any of these Fruits 11 When you have boiled your Paste beforesaid ready to fashion upon the Plate put it up in gally Pots and never dry it and that is all the difference betweene Conserve and Paste and so you may make Conserve of any Fruits this is for all hard bodyed Fruits as Quinces Pippins Oranges and Lemons To make Conserve of tender Fruits or Berries 12 First dissolve your Plummes as you did to make your Paste straine through the Liquor Pulpe and all and to every pinte of that take three quarters of a pound of Sugar and so boile it untill it be somewhat thicke that when you lay some of it upon a cold dish it will run no broader then put it up To Preserve Fruits greene 13 Take Pippins Apricockes Peareplummes or Peaches while they are green scald them in hot water and pill them the Peaches and Apricockes scrape the Furre off them then boile them very tender then take as much Sugar as they doe weigh and as much water as will make a Sirrup to cover them in then boile them something leisurely and take them up and boile the Sirrup untill it be something thick that it will button upon a dish side and when they are cold put them up together To Preserve these Plummes when they are ripe 14 Take as much Sugar as they weigh and put not so much water to them as you did to the greene for they will yeeld Liquor of themselves boile them not altogether so leasurely as you did the other if you doe the Sirrup will turne red and so when you have boiled them take them up and pot them as aforesaid To dry Pippins as cleare as Amber 15 Take yellow Pippins pare them and cut them in the middest and cut out the Core then put them into a Bason of Water then take

I shall treate of in the next impression having not so much time now as scarce to finish the fift part as it should be CHAP. XIX Bleeding PHlebotomie or bloudletting is an incision artificiall of a vâ—in evacuating the bloud with the rest of the humors it was first invented by the river horse inhâ—biting in Nilus that famous river of Egâ—pâ— who when he findes himself charged with overmuch bloud by rubbing his thigh against the shâ—rp banke opens a veine and discharges the sâ—perfluous bloud which he stoppeth likewise when he sees convenient time by rowling it in the thicke mud Phlebotomie is not used in children before 14 nor in old men after fourscore without great necessiâ—y also the strength of the party must be considered that the quâ—ntity of bloud evacuated may be according and if it be only for preserving of health let it be neither in sommer nor winter but in the spring time and in the morning before the day grow hot The veine in the forehead being opened is good for paine in the hinder part of the head which place first ought to be fomented with warme water The veines of the tongue are opened aslant in a squinancy without any ligatures about the neck the inner veine of the left arme is opened for disease in the lunges the liver is purged by the inner veine of the right arme the wombe by the veine under the ankle but for the gout or megrim it is not amisse to open the veine of the part affected Draw bloud from the sanguine the moone being in Taurus Virgo or Capricorne from the phlegmatick in Aries or Sagittarius from the cholerick in Cancer or Pisces from the melancholicke in Libra or Aquarius but beware you open not a veine in that part where the signe is because it hath beene often found very dangerous unlesse necessitie urge but by no meanes let it be upon a criticall day for then it is not good to administer any medicine purge or bleed as I shewed you before Three daies were observed of the antients wherein they would by no meanes let bloud the first of August the fourth of September the eleventh of March. Now bloud is let by opening of a veine for five principall respects the first is to lessen the aâ—undance of bloud as in phlethorick bodies The second is to divert as when a veine in the right Arme is opâ—ned to stay the bleeding of the left nostrill The third is to allure or drawe downe as when the sâ—phona is opened to drawe downe the courses in women The first is for alâ—eration or introduction of another quality as when in sharpe feavers a veine is opened to draw out that bloud which is hot and coole that which remaines behind The fifth is to prevent diseases as in the spring and autumne we open a vein in such as are subject to spitting of bloud squinancie plurifie falling sicknes apoplexie madnes gout or in such as are wounded to prevent inflamation Arteriotomie is the incision of an Artery and is much used now a daies chiefely in the temples and behind the eares for catarres and defluxions in the eyes breast and maladies of the head and inveterate headach CHAP. XX. BOxing or cupping is the application of some instrument either for the evacuation of some humour under the skinne or to divert the course of some humour to an other part and to draw away such things as are hurtfull to nature they are for the most part of glasse with wide bellies and are sometimes applied with scarification and sometimes without the way to apply them is thus put into the glasse a little dry flax and stick it to the bottome of the glasse with a little wax then light the flax with fire and apply the glasse to the place when the flesh is swolen up presse it about the edges and the glasse will fall off then with an incision knife scarify the place a little and apply the cupping-glâ—sses as before and draw as much bloud as shall seeme convenient then drie the place with a soft cloth and anoint it with oyle of Roses and sleepe a while after Leaches Where cupping-glasses cannot be applied there we put horseleaches as to the gums nose fingers wombe and fundament anoint the place first with the bloud of some other creature that they take hold the more egerly and apply them to the place holding them in a linnen cloth for if you handle them in your bare hand they will be stomachfull and will not bite when they are filled with bloud and fall off then either apply more leaches or else cupping-glasses to cause them to fall off you shall put some powder of aloes salt or ashes upon their heads also if you desire to know how much bloud they have sucked
