perfumed Italian powder, one ounce of Rose powder, a 

 dram of Musk : boyle this together in as much Rose-water 

 as will just cover it till it be well incorporated together. 

 This proportion will serve for Eight Pomos. In using it 

 you must keep it always coverd with Rose-water.

Cassolettes. 



Take Benjamin four ounces, Storax two ounces, 

 Lignum Aloes half an ounce, Ambergris two drams, Musk 

 twenty four grains, Civet one dram, twenty Cloves, 

 Cinamon in powder two drams, the Pills of two Limons 

 (cut small without touching them with your hands). 

 Mix all these together with Rose-water, and make a paste 

 of it with your hands ; and never use it without Rose- 

 water or other Sweet waters. You may steep gum 

 Tragaganth in Rose-water till it become a Mucilage, and 

 with that work the other Ingredients into a paste, and 

 form it to Cakes for use. t, -, 



To make a familiar and cheap Porno upon a sudden, 

 which smelleth very well. 

 Smear the bottom of the Cassolette Pot with a little 

 Civet, as much as you take upon the point of a knife : 

 and pour upon it a pretty quantity of Orange-flower- 

 water, and strew upon that some of buceanous, about as 

 much as a thimble holds. Then kindle the Lamp under it. 

 Be sure to supply it with fresh Sweet water, before what 

 you put in be consumed. Jh .,
