Angel▪water boyled.

PUT in an Earthen Pot five Pints of Water, a Pound of Benjamin, half a Pound of Storax, an Ounce of Cinna∣men, half an Ounce of Cloves, all well beaten, two Lemons cut in quarters, two or three bits of Calamus: Set the Pot on the Fire, cover it, and make it boyl to the fourth part, then pour the Water in a Bason and cool it before you pour it in Bottles.

If you want more of that Water, fill your Pot as before, and boyl it the same▪ that second Water will be almost as good as the first, you may mix them together if you will.

This done, take out the Dregs left in the bottom of the Pot, before they be cold, dry them, and make Pastils as before in the Receipt of Pastils; or else you may use them in several Pre∣parations, as I said in the Treatise of Wash-balls.
