Shew me a way to keepe Oysters, Lobsters, and such like sweet and good for some few daies.

Oysters as maister Plat saith, may be pre∣serued good a long time, if they be barrelled vp, and some of the brackishwater, where they are taken, powred amongst them, Or else you may pile them vp in small roundlets, with the hollow parts of the shels vpward, casting salt amongst them at euery lay which they make. You may keepe Lobsters, Shrimps, and such like fish: If you wrap them seuerally in sweet and course rags first moistned in strong brine, and then you must bury these cloathes, and couer them in some coole and moyst place with sand.
