made with the Knees and Sinews of Beef, but long boiled:
Felly alſo, which
they uſe for a Reſtorative, is chiefly made of Knuckles of Veal. The Pulp,
that is within the Crafiſh or Crab, which they ſpice and butter, is more
nouriſhing then the fleſh of the Crab, or Crafiſh. The Yolks of Eggs are
clearly more nouriſhing than the Whites. So that it ſhould ſeem, that the
parts of Living Creatures that lie more in wards, nouriſh more than the out-
ward fleſh; except it be the Brain, which the Spitits prey too much upon, to
leave it any great vertue of nouriſhing. It ſeemeth for the nouriſhing of aged
Men, or Men in Conſumptions, ſome ſuch thing ſhould be deviſed, as ſhould
be half Chylus, before it be put into the ſtomach.

Take two large Capons, perboil them upon a ſoft fire, by the ſpace of
1146. an hour or more, till in effe ct all the Blood be gone. Add in the decoction
the Pill of a Sweet-Lemmon, or a good part of the Pill of a Citron, and a
little Mace. Cut off the Shanks, and throw them away; then with a good
ſtrong Chopping-knife, mince the two Capons, Bones and all, as ſmall as
ordinary minced Meat; put them into a large neat Boulter, then take a Kil-
derkin, ſweet, and well ſeaſoned, of four Gallons of Beer of Eight ſhillings
ſtrength, new as it cometh from the Tunning; make in the Kilderkin a great
Bung-hole of purpoſe, then thurſt into it, the Boulter (in which the Capons
are) drawn out in length; let it ſteep in it three days and three nights, the
Bung-hole open to work, then cloſe the Bung hole, and ſo let it continue a
day and a half, then draw it into Bottles, and you may drink it well after
threedays Bottling, and it will laſt ſix weeks (approved). It drinketh freſh,
flowreth, and mantleth exceedingly, it drinketh not newiſh at all, it is an
excellent drink for a Conſumption to be drunk either alone, or carded with
ſome other Beer. It quencheth thirſt, and hath no whit of windineſs. Note,
that it is not poſſible, that Meat and Bread, either in Broths, or taken with
Drink, as is uſed, ſhould get forth into the Veins, and outward Parts, ſo
finely, and eaſily, as when it is thus incorporate, and made almoſt a Chylus
aforehand.

A Mortreß made with the Brawn of Capons, ſtamped, and ſtrained, and
3348. mingled (after it is made) with like quantity, at the leaſt, of Almond Butter, is
an excellent Meat to nouriſh thoſe that are weak, better than Black-Manger
or Jelly: And ſo is the Cullice of Cocks, boiled thick with the like mixture of
Almond Butter: For the Mortreſs or Cullice of it ſelf, is more ſavory and
ſtrong, and nor ſo fit for nouriſhing of weak Bodies, but the Almonds that
are not of ſo high a taſte as fleſh, do excellently qualifie it.

Indian Maiz hath (of certain) an excellent Spirit of Nouriſhment, but it
4449. muſt be throughly boiled, and made into a Maiz-Cream like a Barley Cream.
I judge the ſame of Rice, made into a Cream; for Rice is in Turky, and other
Countreys of the Eaſt, moſt fed upon, but it muſt be throughly boiled in re-
ſpect of the hardneſs of it; and alſo, becauſe otherwiſe it bindeth the Body
too much.
