17. _A very rare Cordial Water._
Take one Gallon of white Wine, two ounces of Mithridate, two ounces of
Cinamon, one handful of Balm, a large handful of Cowslips, two handfuls
of Rosemary Flowers, half an ounce of Mace, half an ounce of Cloves,
half an ounce of Nutmegs, all bruised, steep these together four days in
an earthen Pot, and covered very close, distil them in an ordinary
Still well pasted, and do it with a very slow fire; save the first water
by it self, and the small by it self, to give to Children; when you have
occasion to use it, take a spoonful thereof, sweetned with Loaf-Sugar;
this Water is good to drive out any Infection from the heart, and to
comfort the Spirits.

Take Celandine, Sage, Costmary, Rue, Wormwood, Mugwort, Scordium,
Pimpernel, Scabious, Egrimony, Betony, Balm, Carduus, Centory,
Peniroyal, Elecampane roots, Tormentil with the roots, Horehound, Rosa
Solis, Marigold Flowers, Angelica, Dragon, Marjoram, Thyme, Camomile, of
each two good handfuls; Licoras, Zedoary, of each one ounce; slice the
Roots, shred the Herbs, and steep them in four quarts of white Wine, and
let it stand close covered 2 days, then distil it in an ordinary Still
pasted up; when you use it, sweeten it with fine Sugar, and warm it.
