Pharmacopœia Londinensis, or, The London dispensatory further adorned by the studies and collections of the Fellows, now living of the said colledg ... / by Nich. Culpeper, Gent.

Vinum Cerassorum Nigrorum. Page 43. in Latin B. Or, Wine of Black Cherries.

The Colledg] Take a gallon of the juyce of black Cherries, keep it in a vessel close stopped til it begin to work, then filter it, and an ounce of Sugar being added to every pound, let it pass through Hippocrates his sleeve, and keep it in a vessel close stopped for use

Culpeper] A. If ever I knew the like of the Col∣ledg never trust me, here they go and appoint the Wine of black Cherries with never a drop of Wine in it, and the juyce will not keep without it, above a week or so, and so if you are minded to make it, you may by that time sing

Alack, alack now have I lost My pains, my labor, and al my cost.

A. Or I know not, it may be they followed their Patriarks the Papists, as wel in this, as in their rea∣sons, why Physick must not be printed in our mo∣ther tongue; and they were minded to pop you off with the juyce, and drink al the wine themselves: Or to judge as modestly as can be judged, they were so mad because I had translated their former, that anger so besotted them in this, that they knew not what they wrote.
