"Stored with all manner of rare receipts for preserving, candying and cookery. Very pleasant and beneficial to all ingenious persons of the female sex"



122. _To make an Olive Pie._
Having your Paste in readiness with Butter in the bottom, lay in some of
the forenamed Olives, but not fastned with a Scure, then put in Currans,
hard Eggs, and sweet Butter, with some herbs shred fine; be sure you
cover it well with Butter, and put in a little white Wine and Sugar, and
close it, and bake it, eat it hot or cold, but hot is better.

123. _To make a Ball to take Stains out of Linnen, which many times
happens by Cooking or Preserving._
Take four Ounces of hard white Sope, beat it in a Mortar, with two small
Limons sliced, and as much Roch Allom as a Hazle Nut, when they are
beaten well together, make it up in little Balls, rub the stain
therewith and then wash it in warm water, till you see it be quite out.

124. _To make a fine Pomander._
Take two Ounces of Laudanum, of Benjamin and Storax one Ounce, Musk six
gr. as much of Civet, as much of Ambergreece, of Calamus Aromaticus, and
Lignum Aloes, of each the weight of a Groat, beat all these in a hot
Mortar and with a hot Pestel, till it come to a perfect Paste, then take
a little Gum Dragon steeped in Rosewater, and rub your hand withal, and
make it up with speed, and dry them, but first make them into what
shapes you please, and print them.

125. _A very fine washing-Ball.
