A vvater called aqua lactis virginis.

TAke Litarge made in pouder, and put it in a pan with good Uinaigre, seeth it with a litle fier, and passe it thorowe a whyte felt vntill it waxe cleare and whyle it distilleth, put it euer in againe vntil it be cleare and whyte. Than take axungia vitri, made in pou∣der, and sifte it, and do with it, as with the Lytarge, and there wyll come also water out of it: Mire these two waters together, and they wyll be as whyte as mylke, and it is called lac virginis.
