The Colledg] Take of Cinnamon fifteen drachms; Cassia Lignea, Alicampane roots, of each half an ounce; Galanga seven drachms, Cloves, Long Pepper, both sorts of Cardamoms, Ginger, Mace, Nutmegs, Wood of Aloes, of each three drachms, Saffron one drachm, Sugar five drachms, Musk two scruples, added accor∣ding to the prescript of the Physitian, and by adding three pound eight ounces of clarified Honey, boyl it and make it into an Electuary according to art.

Culpeper] A. Diacinnamomum, or in plain Eng∣lish, a Composition of Cinnamon, heats the stomach, causeth digestion, provokes the terms in women, strengthens the stomach and other parts that distri∣bute the nourishment of the body; a drachm of it ta∣ken in the morning fasting is exceeding good for an∣cient people and cold bodies, such as are subject to dropsies and diseases of flegm, or wind, for it comforts and strengthens nature much. If you take it to help digestion, take it an hour before meat, do so in all things of like quality.
