Pomatum for the Lips.

TAKE four Ounces of fresh new But∣ter, an Ounce of Virgin Wax, melt them; being melted throw in it black Grapes, boyl the whole a quarter of an Hour; in the mean while bruise the Grapes with a Spoon: strain after that your Pomatum through a fine Linnen Cloth, to take away the dregs of the Grapes. Then put the Pomatum on the Fire again; pour over it two spoonfuls of Orange▪flower-water, and boyl it a∣gain another boiling: Bruise Orcanet the bigness of a Bean in a Poringer, al∣lay it with a little of Orange-flower-water, and pour it over your Pomatum; then work it well with a Spoon, and take it off the Fire, and 'tis done. Being cold lay it in Boxes or Pots. You may keep that sort of Pomatum two years very good. It is excellent for Sore and Scab∣by Lips.
