till they be more then halfe done; then take them and the Liquor, and
pour it in to a Frying-Pan, wherein they must fry a pretty while, then
put into them a good peice of sweet butter, and fry them therein so much
longer; in the mean time you must have beaten the yolks of some Eggs, as
four or five to a quart of Oysters; These Eggs must be beaten with some
Vinegar, wherein you must put some minced Parsly and Nutmeg finely
scraped, and put therein the Oysters in the Pan, which must still be
kept stirring least the Liquor make the Eggs curddle, let this all have
a good warme on the fire, and serve it up.


_To dresse Flounders._

Flea of the black skin, and scowre the Fish over on that side with a
Knife, lay them in a dish, and poure on them some Vinegar, and strew
good store of Salt, let them lie for halfe an houre; in the mean time
set on the fire some water with a little White-Wine, Garlick, and sweet
Herbs as you please, putting into it the Vinegar and Salt wherein they
lay, when it boyles put in the biggest fish, then the next till all be
in; when they are boyled, take them out and drain them very well, then
draw some sweet butter thick, and mix with it some Anchoves shred small,
which being dissolved in the Butter, poure it on the fish, strewing a
little sliced Nutmeg, and minced Oranges and Barberries.


_To dresse Snails._

Take Snailes, and put them in a Kettle of water, and let them boyle a
little, then take them out, and shake them out of the shels into a
Bason; then take some Salt and scoure them very well, and wash them in
warme water, untill you find the slime cleane gone from them; then put
them into a Cullender and let them draine well, then mince some sweet
hearbs, and put them into a Dish with a little Pepper and Sallet-Oyle
together, then let them stand an hour or two; then wash the shels very
well and dry them, and put into every shell a Snail, and fill up the
shell with Sallet-Oyle and herbs, then set them on a gridiron upon a
soft fire, and so let them stew a little while, and dish them up warm
and serve them up.


_To dresse pickle fish._

Wash them well while they are in the shell in salt water, put them into
a Kettle over the fire with out water; and stirre them till they are
open, then take them out of their shels, and wash them in hot water and
salt, then take some of their owne liquor that they have made in the
Kettle, a little white wine, butter, vinegar, Spice, Parsley; let all
these boyle together, and when it is boyled, take the yolk of three or
four Eggs and put into the broth. Scollops may be dressed on this manner
or broiled like oysters with Oyle or juyce of Lemons.


_To fricate Beefe Pallats._

Take Beefe Pallats after they be boyled very tender, blaunch and pare
them clean, season them with fine beaten cloves Nutmeg, Pepper, Salt and
some grated bread; then have some butter in a frying Pan, put your
pallats therein, and so fricate them till they be browne on both sides,
then take them forth and put them on a dish, and put thereto some Gravy
of Mutton, wherein two or three Anchoves are dissolved, grate in your
sauce a little Nutmeg, wring in the juyce of a Lemon, so serve them.


_A Spanish Olio._

Take a peice of Bacon not very fat, but sweet and safe from being rusty,
a peice of fresh beefe, a couple of hoggs Eares, and foure feet if they
can be had, and if not, some quantity of sheeps feet, (Calves feet are
not proper) a joynt of Mutton, the Leg, Rack, or Loyne, a Hen, halfe a
dozen pigeons, a bundle of Parsley, Leeks, and Mint, a clove of Garlick
when you will, a small quantity of Pepper, Cloves, and Saffron, so
mingled that not one of them over-rule, the Pepper and Cloves must be
beaten as fine as possible may be, and the Saffron must be first dryed,
and then crumble in powder and dissolved apart in two or three spoonfuls
of broth, but both the Spices and the Saffron may be kept apart till
immediately before they be used, which must not be, till within a
quarter of a houre before the Olio be taken off from the fire; a pottle
of hard dry pease, when they have first steept in water some dayes, a
pint of boyl'd Chesnuts: particular care must be had that the pot
wherein the Olio is made, be very sweet; Earthen I thinke is the best,
and judgement is to be had carefully both in the size of the Pot, and in
the quantity of the Water at the first, that so the Broth may grow
afterwards to be neither too much nor too little, nor too grosse, nor
too thin; thy meat must be long in boyling, but the fire not too fierce,
the Bacon, the Beef, the Pease, the Chesnuts, the Hogs Eares may be put
in at the first. I am utterly against those confused Olios into which
men put almost all kinds of meats and Roots, and especially against
putting of Oyle, for it corrupts the Broath, instead of adding goodnesse
to it. To do well, the Broth is rather to be drunk out of a Porringer
then to be eaten with a spoon, though you add some smal slices of bread
to it, you wil like it the worse. The Sauce for thy meat must be as much
fine Sugar beaten smal to powder, with a little Mustard, as can be made
to drink the Sugar up, and you wil find it to be excellent, but if you
make it not faithfully and justly according to this prescript, but shall
neither put Mace, or Rosemary, or Tyme to the Herbs as the manner is of
some, it will prove very much the worse.


_To make Metheglin._

Take all sorts of Herbs that are good and wholesome, as Balme, Mint,
Fennell, Rosemary, Angelica, wilde Tyme, Isop, Burnet, Egrimony, and
such other as you think fit; some Field Herbs, but you must not put in
too many, but especially Rosemary or any strong Hearb, lesse then halfe
a handfull will serve of every sort, you must boyle your Herbs and
straine them, and let the Liquor stand till to Morrow and settle them,
take off the clearest Liquor, two Gallons and a halfe to one Gallon of
Honey, and that proportion as much as you will make, and let it boyle an
houre, then set it a cooling as you doe Beere, when it is cold take some
very good Ale Barme, and put into the bottome of the Tubb a little and a
little as they doe Beere, keeping backe the thicke setling, that lyeth
in the bottome of the Vessell that it is cooled in, and when it is all
put together, cover it with a Cloth, and let it worke very neere three
dayes, and when you mean to put it up, skim off all the Barme clean, put
it up into the Vessell, but you must not stop your Vessell very close in
three or four dayes, but let it have all the vent, for it will worke,
and when it is close stopped, you must looke very often to it, and have
a peg in the top to give it vent; when you heare it make a noyse, as it
will do, or else it will breake the Vessell; sometime I make a Bag and
put in good store of Ginger sliced, some Cloves and Cinnamon, and boyl
it in, and other times I put it into the Barrel and never boyle it, it
is both good, but Nutmeg and Mace do not well to my Tast.


_To make a Sallet of Smelts._

and a Pint of White wine Vinegar, an Onion shred a couple of Lemons, a
Race of Ginger, three or foure blades of Mace, a Nutmeg sliced, whole
Pepper, a little Salt, cover them, and let them stand twenty foure
houres; if you will keep them three or four dayes, let not your Pickle
be to strong of the Vinegar, when you will serve them, take them out one
by one, scrape and open them as you do Anchoves, but throw away the
bones, lay them close one by one, round a Silver dish, you must have the
very utmost rind of a Lemon or Orange so small as grated bread and the
Parsley, then mix your Lemon Pill, Orange and Parsley together with a
little fine beaten Pepper, and strew this upon the dish of Smelts with
the meat of a Lemon minced very small, also then power on excellent
Sallet Oile, and wring in the juyce of two Lemons, but be sure none of
the Lemon-seed be left in the Sallet, so serve it.

_To Roast a Fillet of Veal._

Take a Fillet of Beefe which is the tenderest part of the Beast, and

carefull you broach it not thorow the best of the meat, roast it
leasurely and baste it with sweet butter. Set a Dish under it to save
the Gravy while the Beefe is roasting, prepare the Sauce for it, chop
good store of Parsley with a few sweet Herbs shred small, and the yolks
of three or foure Eggs, and mince among them the pill of an Orange, and
a little Onyon, then boyle this mixture, putting into it sweet butter,
Vinegar, and Gravy, a spoonfull of strong broth, when it is well boyled,

Pepper or Ginger into your sauce, or a pill of an Orange or Lemon.

Take them fresh gathered and cut off the hard end of the stalk, & as you
Pil them throw them into a Dish of white Wine, after they have lain half
an houre or thereupon draine them from the wine, and put them between
two silver Dishes, then set them on a soft fire without any liquor, and
when they have so stewed a while, pour away the liquor that comes from
them which will be very black, then put your Mushrums into another clean
Dish with a sprig or two of Tyme, an Onion whole, four or five cornes of
whole Pepper, two or three Cloves, a bit of an Orange, a little Salt, a
bit of sweet butter, and some pure gravy of Mutton, cover them, and set
them on a gentle fire, so let them stew softly till they be enough and
very tender, when you dish them blow off all the fat from them, and take
out the Time, spice, and Orange, then wring in the juyce of a Lemon, and
grate a little Nutmeg among the Mushrums, tosse them two or three times;
put them in a clean dish, and serve them hot to the Table.

then strain it through a cleane strainer, into a Bason, and so let it
stand till it be through cold and well jellied, then cut it in peices
with a Knife, and pare the top and the bottome of them, put it into a
Skellet, take two ounces of Cynamon broken very small with your hand,
three Nutmegs sliced, one race of Ginger, a large Mace or two, a little
quantity of Salt, one Spoonfull of Wine Vinegar, or Rose-Vinegar, one

remaine none behind, put a branch of Rosemary in the bottom of the bag,
hang it up before the fire over a Bason; and pour the Jelly-bag into the
Bason, provided in any case you stir not the Bag, then take Jelly in the
Bason and put it into your bag again, let it run the second time, and it
will be very much the clearer; so you may put it into your Gally-pots or
Glasles which you please, and set them a cooling on bay salt, and when

1.F.

1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be

the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.


Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit https://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate


Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's
eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII,
compressed (zipped), HTML and others.

Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over
the old filename and etext number.  The replaced older file is renamed.
VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving
new filenames and etext numbers.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

     https://www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000,
are filed in directories based on their release date.  If you want to
download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular
search system you may utilize the following addresses and just
download by the etext year.

     https://www.gutenberg.org/etext06

    (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99,
     98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90)

EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are
filed in a different way.  The year of a release date is no longer part
of the directory path.  The path is based on the etext number (which is
identical to the filename).  The path to the file is made up of single
digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename.  For
example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at:

     https://www.gutenberg.org/1/0/2/3/10234

or filename 24689 would be found at:
     https://www.gutenberg.org/2/4/6/8/24689
