The Colledg] Take of Cloves, Costus, or Zedoa∣ry, Ginger, Cummin of each two drachms, Hermo∣dactils, Diacridium, of each half an ounce, with their double waight of Honey clarified in white Wine, make them into an Electuary according to art.

For taken orherwise it would kill a horse cum privilegio. I wonder theColledg is not a shamed to fret mens guts out with outlandish rubbish, and then they may safe∣ly cry out they have the Plague in their guts, and they know not how to cure them.
