〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 Simplex, et Perlatum. P. 86. Or, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Sugar, both Simple and 〈◊〉〈◊〉.

The Colledg] The first is made by pouring the Su∣gar out upon a Marble; after a sufficient boyling in half its 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of Damask Rofe water) And the latter by adding to every pound of the former towards the latter end of the Decoction, Pearls prepared and bruised half an ounce, with eight or ten Leaves of Gold.

Culpeper] A. Here the Colledg have left out that blasphemous speech, which I cannot write without horror, nor an honest man read without trembling, viz. To call a little Rose-water and Sugar boyled to∣gether, THE HAND OF CHRIST: The truth is, if they had left out the rest of the blas∣phemies, I should have had some hopes they would in time turn honest, but I see to my grief they re∣main: especially that abominable blasphemy in their Dedicatory Epistle to King James, which they ha∣ving not 〈◊〉〈◊〉 enough to alter, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 let stand, or else it was because like Sodom, they would declare their sin and hide it not, but manifest to the world in the sight of the Sun, that they are not a Colledg of Christians, but of RANTERS, by calling KING JAMES their GOD; blush O Sun at such blasphemy. It may be they left it out because King Charls is dead, for worshiping old Jemmy for God, 'tis more than probable they worshiped his Son for Christ; and their Tubelary gods being apud Infe∣ros, gives me some hopes they will follow them quick∣ly, and so all the Tyrants will go together.

A. It is naturally cooling, apropriated to the heart, it restores lost strength, takes away burning feavers, and false imaginations, (I mean that with Pearls, for that without Pearls is rediculous) it hath the same vertues Pearls have.
