Pomatum good to Refresh the Com∣plexion, and to take off the Redness and Pimples of the Face.

TAKE half a Pound of the Leaf of Hogs-fat, dip it in the Water several days, changing the Water as often as I prescribed in the first Receipt, and your Fat being very white, put it in a new Earthen Pan, with two Pippins cut in bits without peeling them, and an Ounce of the four cold Seeds, set the Pot on a soft Fire, and let your Pomatum be melting a quarter of an hour, then take it off the Fire, and mix in it an Ounce of Oyl of Sweet▪Almonds, strain it after that through a Linnen Cloth tyed hard, and let it drop in clear Water, stir the Pomatum and the Water with a wooden Spatula till it is cold and congealed in the Water, then pour out the Water, and work your Pomatum again to draw out the rest of the Water, and 'tis done.
