titic, pounded fmalland put into the Honic with the Quin- 
ces, and in boiling to be Ifirred together. This is very good 
tocomfortandilrengthentheftomack. For want of Quin- 
ces you may take Wardens, Peares, or Apples, and fpecially 
the Peare-maine, Gihflower, Pipin, and Koiall. 
Marchpane may be made afcer this manner. Boile and 
clarifieby it felfe,fomuch Honic as you thinke meet: when 
it is cold, take to euery pound of Honie the white of an Egge, 
and beat them together in a Bafon, till they bee incorporac 
together and wax white, and when you haue boiled itagaine 
two or three walmes vpon a fire of coles, continually ftirring 
it, then put to it fuch quantitie of * blanched Almonds or 
Nut-kernels damped, as (hall make it of a iufl confidence: 
and after a warme or two more, when it is well mixt, powre 
it out vpon a Table, and make vp your Marchpane. After- 
ward you may ice it with Rofe-water and Sugar. This is 
goodforthe Confumption. 
* Steepcthem a night in cold water, and the peelcs will come off. 
Prefer He Fruits after this manner. 
The Damafcens, or other Fruit, being gathered frefh 
from the tree, faire,and in their prime, neither greene or 
Tower, nor ouer-ripe or fweer, with their ffalks,but cut fhortj 
weigh them, and take their weight in raw fine Honie : and 
putting to the Honie the like quantitieof faire water, boile 
it Tome halfe quarter of an houre, or till it will yeeld no 
skum : then hauing flit the Damafcens in the dented fide for 
feareof breaking, boile them in this liquor with a foft fire, 
continually skimming and turning them till the meatcom- 
meth cleanefronrthe done, and then take them vp. If the 
liq uor be then too thinne, boile it more: if in the boiling it 
be too thick, put in more&ire water,or Rofe-water if you like 
it. The liquor being of a fir confidence, lay vp and prefeiue 
therein your Fruits. 
If they begreater Fruits, as Quinces, Pipins, orthelike j 
then (hall it bee expedient, when you haue bored them 
through the middle, or haue otherwife coared them, to put 
them in as fooneas the liquor is fird skimmed : and then to 
let them boile till they be as tender as Quodlings.
