Take a gallon of good Gascoigne Wine, then take Ginger, Ga∣lingale,
Nutmegs, Grains, Cloves, Mace, Anniseeds, Fennel seeds, Carraway seeds, of every of them a dram; then take Sage, Mints, red Roses, Time, Pelitory of the wall, Rosemary, Wild-Time, Wild Marjoram, Penniroyal, Camomile, Lavender, Rosasolis, Adments, Piony, Montane, of each a handful; then beat all the Spices smal, and bruise all the Herbs, then put all into the Wine, and let it stand stil therein twelve hours, stirring it divers times. Then stil it in a Limbeck, and keep the first water by it self, for it is the best; then will there come a second water, which will be good, but not so good as the first Water, which must be kept likewise by it self; and this water will be the better, if it be set in the Sun all the Summer; and you must draw of the first Water but a pint, and of the se∣cond as far as it will run.
