finely beaten, and put it to the Cherries in the boiling, the faster
they boil, the better they will be preserved, and let them stand in a
Pan till they be almost cold.



_A Tincture of Ambergreece._

Take Ambergreece one ounce, Musk two drams, spirit of Wine half a pint,
or as much as will cover the ingredients two or three fingers breadth,
put all into a glass, stop it close with a Cork and Bladder; set it in
Horse dung ten or twelve days, then pour off gently the Spirit of Wine,
and keep it in a Glass close stopt, then put more spirit of Wine on the
Ambergreece, and do as before, then pour it off, after all this the
Ambergreece will serve for ordinary uses. A drop of this will perfume
any thing, and in Cordials it is very good.
