The Colledg] Take of Nutmegs, Annis seeds, Coriander seeds, of each one ounce; Galanga, Ginger, Cloves, of each half an ounce; red Rose Leaves, one bandful; Ros-solis six handfuls; Liquoris two oun∣ces; Cardamoms, Zedoary, Grains of Paradice, Ca∣lamus Aromaticus, of each one drachm; red Sanders, Cinnamon, of each an ounce and an half; of the best Aqua vitae, twelve pints: make an infusion of them for eight daies, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 strain it and ad to the Liquor, one pound and an half of Sugar.

Culpeper] A, The Basis of this Medicine, seems to be the Herb Ros-solis, which is of a drying and binding quality, and apropriated to the Lungues, and therefore must needs be available for 〈◊〉〈◊〉, or Consumptions of the Lungues, and because this herb provokes lust exceedingly, I suppose therefore the Rose leaves were added, which according tob 1.1 Authors resist lust.
