ashed, therein still these till you leave no other
tast but fair water, and draw also some of that, draw two Alembecks full
more as you draw the first, until you have so much as will fill your
Alembeck, then put this distilled water into your Alembeck again, and
some more Balm, if you draw a Wine Gallon, put to it half a pound of
Coriander seeds bruised, two Ounces of Cloves, one quarter of an Ounce
of Nutmegs, and one quarter of an Ounce of Mace bruised all of them,
then set a Receiver of a Gallon under it, and fill it with fresh and
green Balm unwashed, and your Water will be as green as Grass; put still
more and more of the Herbs fresh, and let it stand a week to make it the
more green.

Take this Green Water, and put to it one quart of the best Damask
Rosewater, and before you mix your Balm-water and Rose-water together,
you must dissolve two pounds of fine Sugar in the first distilled water,
then take Ambergreece and Musk, of each eight Grains, being ground fine,
and put it into the Glass in a piece of Lawn; put also a little Orange
or Limon Pill to it, and keep it cool and from the Air.

clean scraped and sliced, and all the Spices grosly beaten, let all
these steep in the Spirits four days; then take a quarter of a peck of
Red Poppy Leaves fresh gathered, and the black part cut off, and put
