TO THE READER.
_Courteous Reader,
I Think it not amiss, since I have given you, as I think, a very full
Direction for all kinds of Food both for Nourishment and Pleasure, that
I do shew also how to eat them in good order; for there is a Time and
Season for all things: Besides, there is not anything well done which
hath not a Rule, I shall therefore give you several Bills of Service for
Meals according to the Season of the Year, so that you may with ease
form up a Dinner in your Mind quickly; afterwards I shall speak of
ordering of Banquets; but these things first, because Banquets are most
proper after Meals.
All you who are knowing already and Vers'd in such things, I beseech you
to take it only as a_ Memorandum; _and to those who are yet unlearned, I
presume they will reap some Benefit by these Directions; which is truly
wished and desired by_
Hanna Woolley _alias_ Chaloner.
