When they are boiled, put them forth into a Pipkin, adding to them drawn Butter, and keep them by the Fire in a warm condition: then boil up three or four handfuls of Spi∣nage in strong broth: when they are enough, pour out part of the broth from them, and put in a little Vinegar, a ladle∣ful of drawn Butter, and a grated Nut∣meg; your Dish being▪ ready with Sippes in the bottom, put in your Spinage there∣on round towards the Dishes side: your Venison being boil'd, take it up and lay it in the middle of the Dish, and lay your Colliflowers all over it; then pour on your drawn Butter over that: Lastly, garnish it with Barberries, and your Dish with some green Parsley minced.

For variety sake you may force your Ve∣nison with a handful of sweet Herbs, and Parsley minced with Beef-suet, and yolks of Eggs boiled hard; seasoning your forcing with Pepper, Nutmeg, Ginger and Salt.
