II. The secret properties of the Egge (Book 2)
ANd first, the round Egge set under the Henne bringeth forth a Henne Chicken, and the long Egge set under the Henne, bringeth forth a Cocke Chicken. Also the Egge with the shell laid to steepe in Vinegar for three dayes space, doth after so soften it, that any may worke the same at length like unto Waxe. And the same Egge afterward laid in the water, doth come againe unto the former state. Also, if an Egge be painted with sundry Colours, and the same set under a Henne to bring forth, she shall hatch a Chicken having such feathers, like unto the colours painted on the Egge. Also the Egge
laid for three dayes to steepe in strong Vi∣negar, and after for one whole Moneth laid to dry againe in the Sunne, shall after (by degrees) come to the hardnesse of a stone.
