To make good oile of Nutmegges.

TAke two or three pounde of Nutmegges, and cut them small, and stampe them well, then put them in a pan and heate them mixyng, them al∣waies togither. This done, you shall put them into a canuesse or strōg linen cloth, and put them in a presse, and presse theim well, and gette out all the licour of them, whiche wilbe like Man••a. And then skrape it from the Canues bagge asmuche as you can with a knife, then put it in some vessell of glasse and stoppe it well, but set it not in the sunne although it seeme euil fauored: for it will waxe cleere and faire of it self with in ten or xv. daies, and is worth thrise as much as the Nutmegge it selfe. And this oile hath great vertue for to chafe and heate, and in annointing the stomacke warme, it swageth the paine of the mother, and Scia∣tikes.
