¶A good drinke that strengtheth the hart and all the mem¦bres / if a man drinke halfe an egges shale full in the morninge and eueninge / wyth as muche good wyne.
TAke the beste Aqua vite that ye can gette / take also a pece of fyne golde / make it gloynge whote ix. tymes / and quenche it agayne / the more ye quenche it / the stronger waxeth the water and bet∣ter / put into thesame Aqua vite half a quarter of an vnce of saffrō / and a quarter of an vnce of Cinamon both beaten / let them stand four day∣es well stopped / and steare it euery daye ones / but when thou wilt take it / then let it stande still vnstered / that it maye be clere. Thys water warmeth the colde stomacke / geueth strength to all the membres / speciallye to aged folke / that haue ben ouerlonge sycke / whose strength is consumed: for it cō∣forteth and strengtheth the hart out of measur.
