116. _For Morphew, or Freckles, and to clear the Skin._
Take the Blood of any Fowl or Beast, and wipe your Face all over with it
every night when you go to bed for a fortnight together, and the next
day wash it all off with White Wine, and white Sugar Candy, and
sometimes hold your face over the smoke of Brimstone for a while, and
shut your eyes, if you add the Juice of a Limon to the white Wine, it
will be the better.
117. _To make Almond Butter to look white._
Take about two Quarts of Water, the bottom of a Manchet, and a Blade of
large Mace, boil it half an hour, and let it stand till it be cold, then
take a Pound of sweet Almonds blanched, and beaten with Rosewater very
fine, so strain them with this Water many times, till you think the
virtue is out of them, and that it be a thick Almond Milk, then put it
into a Skillet, and make it boiling hot, that it simper, then take a
spoonful of the Juice of a Limon, and put into it, stirring of it in,
and when you perceive it ready to turn, then take it from the fire, and
take a large fine Cloth, and cast your Liquor all over the Cloth with a
Ladle, then scrape it altogether into the middle with a Spoon, then tie
it hard with a Packthred, so let it hang till the next morning, then put
in a Dish, and sweeten it with Rosewater and Sugar, put a little
Ambergreece if you please.
