Sirrup of the Iuice of Lemmons.
7 The Sirrup of the juyce of Lemmons, of Ci∣trons, of Oranges, of unripe Grapes, of Pomegranates, of Sorrell, of Ribes, or red Gooseberries, the order of making them is all alike; for the juyce of every one of them must be purged by running through a Woollen Strainer, freely without compulsion, and to every vii. lib. of Iuyce, adde of good white Sugar lib. 5. and boile them in a Tinne Vessell on a soft fire to a Sirrup. The Sirrup of the Iuyce of Lemmons doth asswage heate and thirst, and restraineth corruption in Feavers; it de∣fendeth the Stomacke, Heart, and Noble parts; it pur∣geth the Kidneyes, and provoketh Vrine: Sirrup of Citrons doth the like: the Sirrup of Pomegranates corroborates the Stomacke, the Spleene, Liver, and Lungs, and restraineth vomiting: Sirrup of Oranges is more pleasant: Sirrup of unripe Grapes doth more quench thirst: Sirrup of the Iuyce of Sorrell doth al∣lay Choler, and open obstructions: the Sirrup of red Gooseberries is more sweet in taste, and more astrin∣gent.
