search into it. Stop your bottles close, and after three or four moneths
you may drink, and it will be very pleasant and quick, and look like white
wine.


ANOTHER METHEGLIN

In every three Gallons of water, boil Rosemary, Liverwort, Balm, _ana_,
half a handful, and Cowslips two handfuls. When the water hath sufficiently
drawn out the vertue of the herbs, pour all into a Tub, and let it stand
all night. Then strain it. And to every three Gallons of the clear Liquor
(or 2-1/2, if you will have your drink stronger) put one Gallon of honey,
and boil it, till it bear an Egge, scuming it till no more scum will rise:
which to make rise the better, put in now and then a Porrenger full of cold
water. Then pour it into a Tub, and let it stand to cool, till it be blood
warm, and then put by degrees a Pint of Ale-yest to it, to make it work. So
let it stand three days very close covered. Then skim off the yest, and put
it into a seasoned barrel; but stop it not up close, till it have done
hissing. Then either stop it very close, if you will keep it in the barrel,
or draw it into bottles. Put into this proportion, Ginger sliced, Nutmegs
broken, _ana_, one ounce, Cinamon bruised half an ounce in a bag, which
hang in the bung with a stone in it to make it sink. You may add, if you
please, to this proportion of water, or one Gallon more, two handfuls of
Sweet-bryar-leaves, and one of Betony.


MR. PIERCE'S EXCELLENT WHITE METHEGLIN

In a Copper, that holdeth conveniently three hogsheads, or near so much,
boil the best water, (as full as is fitting). As soon as it boileth well
