_To make Hypocras._

Take four Gallons of Claret Wine, eight ounces of Cinnamon, three
Oranges, of Ginger, Cloves, and Nutmegs a small quantity, Sugar six
pound, three sprigs of Rosemary, bruise all the spices somewhat small,
and so put them into the Wine, and keep them close stopped, and often
shaked together a day or two, then let it run through a gelly bag twice
or thrice with a quart of new Milk.



_The Lady_ Thornburghs _Syrup of Elders._

Take Elder-berries when they be red, bruise them in a stone Mortar,
strain the juyce, and boil it to a consumption of almost half, scum it
very clear, take it off the fire whilest it is hot, put in sugar to the
thickness of a syrup; put it no more on the fire, when it is cold, put
it into Glasses, not filling them to the top, for it will work like
Beer.

This cleanseth the stomach and spleen, and taketh away all obstructions
of the Liver, by taking the quantity of a spoonful in a morning, and
fasting a short time after it.
