‘I be Corottarie to this Orchard. 
The Vfe of the Pine apples and kernels. 
The Cones or Apples are vfed of diuers Vintners in this City bein® 
painted, to exprcfle a bunch of grapes, whercunto they are very like and 
are hung vp in their butties, as alfo to fatten keycs vnto them, as is feene in 
many places. 
The kernels within the hard fliels, while they are frefh or newly taken 
out, are vfed many waies, both with Apothecaries, Comfit-makers and 
Cookes : for of them are made medicines, good to lenifie the pipes and 
paifages of the lungs and throate, when itishoarfe. Of them are made 
Comfits, Paftes, Marchpanes, and diuers other fuch like : And withthem 
a cunning Cooke can make diuers Keck fliofes for his Matters table.
