Sea-worm-wood, a little Sage, Rosemary; put it in a barrel, after three
days cooling. Put no yest to it. Stop it close, and bottle it after three
or four months.

5. _Very Strong_. To ten Gallons of water take four of honey. Clarifie it
with flower; and put into it Angelica, Rosemary, Bay-leaves, Balm. Barrel
it without yest. Hang in a bag Cloves, Elder-flowers, a little Ginger.

6. _Very Strong_. Take ten Gallons of water, and four of Honey. Boil
nothing in it. Barrel it when cold, without yest. Hang in it a bag with
Cloves, Elder-flowers, a little Ginger and Limon peel; which throw away,
when it hath done working, and stop it close. You may make also strong and
small by putting into it Orris-roots; or with Rose-mary, Betony, Eye-bright
and Wood-sorrel; or adding to it the tops of Hypericon with the flowers of
it; Sweet-bryar, Lilly of the valley.


TO MAKE MEATH

Take three Gallons of water, a quart of Honey; if it be not strong enough,
you may adde more. Boil it apace an hour, and scum it very clean. Then take
it off, and set it a working at such heat as you set Beer, with good yest.
Then put it in a Runlet, and at three days end, draw it out in
stone-bottles; into everyone put a piece of Limon-peel and two Cloves. It
is only put into the Runlet, whilest it worketh, to avoid the breaking of
the Bottles.
