Wash-Balls of Neroly.
Take eight pound of Cake-Soap well cleansed, put to it when scraped, as much of Rose or Orange-Flower, as will well temper it, stirring it twice a day, the better to soak; then having beaten it well, put in a pound of Labdanum in Pouder, and two ounces of Neroly, mix them into a Paste, and so make them into Balls.

Bologna Wash-Balls.
Take three Bundles or Boxes of these Balls, beat them, and dip them in Angel-Water, as much as will well wet them, add half a pint of Benjamine-Water, make two equal Cakes of the Paste, by well beating, then beat very small two drams of Musk or Civet, with two oun∣ces of Balm of Peru, dropped in by degrees; add to these the gross Essence of Amber, and some Essence of Cloves, and some Cinnamon, mix these with the Paste, make it into Balls, and keep it for a very curious Per∣fume; and in this nature other Wash-Balls, or Paste may be made, and perfumed with va∣rious scents.
