Seeing that glisters be very commodious, shew me a way to make some.

Take hony sodden till it be thick, and min∣gle the same with wheaten meale, then adde a little freshbutter, and make your glister into a long forme: Which done, dip it in oyle, and vse it. Or else take halfe an ounce of the roots of Succory and Licoras, two drach∣mes of Endiue, one handfull of Mallowes, one drachme of the seed of Succory and Fen∣nell, two drachmes of Fennigreeke, halfe a handfull of the flowers of Cammomel; seeth them, and then a most wholesome glister is made.
