The Colledg] Take of* 1.1 Diatragacanthum Fri∣gidum half an ounce, Pulp of preserved Quinces an ounce, the inside of the seeds of Bastard Saffron half an ounce, Ginger two drachms, Diagrydium beaten by it self three drachms, Turbith six drachms, Man∣na two ounces, Honey Roses, Solutive, Sugar-can∣dy of each one ounce, Hermodactils half an ounce, 〈◊◊〉〈◊◊〉 ounces and an half, make of them a Liquid Electuary 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to art.
Culpeper] A. I 〈◊〉〈◊〉 what art it must be, wherewith a man should make up an 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and have not wherewithal; I tell you truly, that to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 up an Electuary of this without more moisture (for here is nor a quarter enough) is a task harder than al Hercules his twelve labors, abate me but his fetch∣ing Cerberus out of Hell: For my part I shall trouble the Reader no further, but leave the Receipt to Ar∣noldus and the Colledg for a pure piece of non-sence. Only let me admire at the pride and Headstrongness of the Colledg, that will not mend any error, though as apparant as the Sun is up, when he is upon the Meridian; but quos perdere 〈◊〉〈◊〉 Jupiter dementis facit, those whom Jupiter will destroy, he first makes mad; so their Jupiter, or Juvans pater (as they often in their Dedicatory Epistle stile the King, and the only God they (poor fooles) wor∣ship, unless like heathens they worship many gods) being now sent to take his supper apud inferos, hath left such a spirit of madness upon them, which is an absolute forerunner of their end.
