prepare some Cabbidge boil'd tender in Water and Salt; then squeeze the Water from it, and put it in a Pipkin with some strong Broth, Claret-wine, and a couple of big Onions, season it with Salt, Pepper and Mace, with three or four dissolved Anchovies; stew these together with a la∣dleful of sweet Butter, and a little White wine Vinegar: Your Cabbidge being on Sippets, and your Goose boil'd enough, lay it thereon with some Cabbidge on the breast thereof, and serve it up. This is the most proper manner of boiling any large Sea-fowl.

If of the smaller sort, half roast them, slash them down the breast, and put them into a Pipkin with the breast downward, add to them three or four Onions with Car∣rots sliced like lard, some Mace, Pepper and some Salt-butter, Savory, Tyme, some strong broth and White wine, stew it ve∣ry softly till half the broth be consumed; then dish it up on Sippets, pouring on the broth.
