50pTo make an exellent broth or restoratiue to restore ye strength of such as are brought very weake with long sicknesse. or with consumpti=on.

Take a very wett flesh capon yat hath not bein

cramed, strangle him, but let him not bleed, yen

flea him and take out his crop, his gall ye inside

5of ye gisard, and ye guts but nothing else chop off

his head and feete and take away ye fat from him as

cleane as you can. Take allsoe a couple of

partriges, and vse yem in ye same sorte, and halfe a

very good flesht pig flead, beate all yese in a stone

10mortar till yey be like pap. Then take a handfull

or raysons of ye sunne stone, 20 cap dates stoned,

allsoe, and steepe yem all night in pleasant sack, as

much and noe more yan yey can drinke into yem and this

powder following. Take of cinamon, of white

15and yellow saunders of each 1/4 ounce. of nutmegs,

maces and gallingall of each third weight. of saffron

second weight. of musk and Amber of each 10 grame

beate all yese in fine powder, and mix yem together and

yen put vpon it as much rosewater as it can

20drink vp. Then put all yese 3 things together (1) ye

flesh, ye fruites and ye powder, and when yey are well

mixed, put yem into an ale pot with a narrow

mouth yat will hold twice as much, yat yese things may

haue roome enough to work in, yen stop ye mouth, as

25close as possibly you can first wth a corke, and yen

with a cloth or peece of leather bound fast vpon

yt. and soe let it vp to ye brim 12 howres in boyling

water. Then open ye pot, and powre out all yat

will run without pressing, and saue yt by it selfe,

30and put as much sugar to it as you think good. but

first take off ye fat as cleane as you can, and

season it reasonably with salt, at ye first beating

beating of ye flesh. Then with a hooked forke

pluck out ye rest, and straine it and spend yt first.

35This perhaps is too strong to take alone, and go you

may take 2 spoonefulls of this with 6 of some other broth

This is ye quintessence of ye flesh, and yat which ye weakned

stomack would draw of it selfe.
