<P><HI>MEtheglen</HI> is a Drink, which the ancient Britains did put an high value upon, keeping it in their Hou&s;es as Nectar, and affirming thar it was more pretious than Malm&s;ey: for when it is old, 'tis reckon'd a wine mo&s;t agreeable to the Stomach, which it &s;trengthens exceedingly; it potently concocts cold Hu|mours, hinders Crudities, re&s;tores the lo&s;t Appetite, and is good for tho&s;e who are troubled with the Cough, and &s;hortne&s;s of Breath. It helps Expectoration, Expells Wind, Mitigates the Pains of the Colick, is profitable in the Yellow Jaundies, in Di&s;ea&s;es of the Brain, and in tho&s;e which proceed from Me|lancholy, as the Quartan Ague, Scurvy, <HI>&amp;c.</HI> It conduceth much to cold Con&s;titutions, is very nouri&s;hing to the Body, and by the u&s;e of it, many have lived to extream old Age: Pertinent hereunto is that relation, of one of an Hundred Years Old, who being demanded by <HI>Augu&s;tus Cae&s;ar,</HI> what means he chiefly u&s;ed to pre&s;erve that Vigor of mind and Body, which he was ob&s;erved at that time very briskly to retain; made this reply to the Emperor, that he imputed his long continued health to nought, be&s;ides this Drink, which he verily thought to be the greate&s;t cau&s;e thereof. Mr. <HI>Butler</HI> di&s;cour&s;ing of it, in his Treati&s;e of <HI>Bees,</HI> &s;aith that as good and Old Methe|glen Excelleth all VVines, both for plea&s;antne&s;s of ta&s;t, and pre&s;erving of Health: &s;o being burnt, it is better than any burnt Wine what&s;oever, to comfort and &s;ettle a Weak Sto|mach, and to procure natural heat. The manner of burning it, is fir&s;t to &s;et on the Fire a deep Skillet, or Kettle almo&s;t full of Water; when it boils, put in a Pewter Pot full of Metheglen, which you mu&s;t Skum before it begins to boil, and put into it two or three brui&s;ed Cloves, with a branch of Ro&s;emary; then beat the Yolk of an Egg in a Di&s;h, and mix with it a &s;poonful of cold Metheglen, &s;tirring all together to keep the Yolk from Curdling; add to that a &s;poonful of the hot Me|theglen, after which another, and another; alwaies beat|ing them together. Afterwards, by degrees pour all into the
<PB N="26" REF="14">Pot, continually &s;tirring it about; a&s;&s;oon as it boils, take the Pot out of the Kettle of Water, and pour the Metheglen into another warm Pot of the like bigne&s;s; Fireing it, as it pa&s;&s;eth from one to the other; which mu&s;t be done until the Flagration cea&s;eth, and it will burn no longer. A Methe|glen Po&s;&s;et hath the &s;ame virtues.</P>

<HEAD>Scurvy-gra&s;s Ale.</HEAD>
<P>SCurvy-gra&s;s Ale or Beer, is a very antient Drink of this I&s;le, again&s;t the Scurvy; it was held in great e&s;teem by the old Britains, who accounted it the mo&s;t approved Liquor in the World, and later Experience hath conferred much to their opi|nion, by the good effects it hath produced in that Di&s;ea&s;e. It opens Ob&s;tructions, Evacuates Cold, Clammy and Phlegmatick Humours, from the Liver and Spleen, &s;oftens and takes away the Hardne&s;s, and Swelling of tho&s;e Parts, and reduces the Body to a more chearful and lively Colour. To make it; put a Peck or more of brui&s;ed Scurvy-gra&s;s into half an Hog&s;head of Ale or Beer, while it is working: Then put into a thin Bag, long Pep|per, Grains, Anni&s;eed, and Liquorice of each two Ounces, which hang in the Ale, and when it is clear, Drink of it at any time.</P>
