the Pajle or Bough is made: this being mixed 'with 
one part of the Blower, is covered with the other, 
and left in digefl ion for an hour or two , that the whole 
may be Leavened-, then the Pa fie or Bough is made 
by mingling all well together, and kneading it with the 
hands, till it becomes aft i ff Pajle ; which then is 
fujfered to ly again about half an hour , and then made 
up into Loaves , which are after baked in an Oven.
