Let your Dish be indifferent deep on the bottom whereof lay Sippets of white Bread, and on that lay raw Marrow all o∣ver with Dates, Raisins of the Sun, Oran∣gado and other Suckets; then having in rea∣diness some Cream boiled up with the yolks of Eggs, lay thereon a ladleful or two thereof, Marrow upon that, upon your

Page 300

Marrow make a lay of Dates, Raisins, &c. and then a lay of Cream, continue so do∣ing till you have fill'd your Dish, garnish the brim of your Dish with Paste, then set it in the Oven half an hour, and it will be enough.
