_To make an Ipswich Water._

Take a pound of fine white Castle-soap shave it thin in a pint of
Rose-water, and let it stand two or three days; then pour all the water
from it, and put to it half a pint of freshwater; and so let it stand
one whole day, then pour out that, and put half a pint more, and let it
stand a night more then put to it half an ounce of powder called sweet
Marjoram, a quarter of an ounce of the powder of Winter-Savory, two or
three drops of the Oyl of Spike, and the Oyl of Cloves, three grains of
Musk, and as much Ambergreese; work all these together in a fair Mortar,
with the powder of an Almond Cake dryed, and beaten as small as fine
flour, so rowl it round in your hands in Rose-water.



_To make a sweet Smell._

Take the Maste of a sweet Apple-tree, being gathered betwixt the two
Lady-dayes, and put to it a quarter of Damask Rose-water, & dry it in a
dish in an Oven; wet in drying two or three times with Rose-water, then
put to it an ounce of Benjamin, an ounce of Storax Calamintæ: these Gums
being beaten to powder, with a few leaves of Roses, then you may put
what cost of Smells you will bestow, as much Civet or Ambergreese, and
beat it altogether in a Pomander or a Bracelet.
