When you have dress'd your woodcock, and drawn it under the leg, take
out the bitter bit, put in the trales again; whilst the woodcock is
roasting set under it an earthen dish with either water in or small
gravy, let the woodcock drop into it, take the gravy and put to it a
little butter, and thicken it with flour; your woodcock will take about
ten minutes roasting if you have a brisk fire; when you dish it up lay
round it wheat bread toasts, and pour the sauce over the toasts, and
serve it up.

You may roast a partridge the same way, only add crumb sauce in a
bason.

well together, put them into your pie; it must be a standing pie baked
