boil them together till they become a ood fiton
Syrup: to which Syrup add (beings oil cold
two ounces or more of choice Damask-Role Water,
an ounce of ilrong Cinnamon Water, and a grain
and half of Musk in fine ponder, (the three lafi mull
be mixed, and the Musk infufed together iirli for
twenty four or forty eight hours, and then (trained
out ; and ('0 put into the Syrup, being Etll half
cold.) This bein done, your Roots being walhed,
are to be laid to oak in fair Water for twenty four
hours, and then very well pickt and cleanfed after
which they rnuii be boiled in fair Water or the
fpace of four hours, till they are foft; after which
they are to be taken out, and peeled clean, as you
do PaJnepr, and the Pith mu bedrawn out at the
,. ‘ end oi'the Root, but if there is any whole Pith
cannot be f0 drawn out, then you mull llit them,
and fo take it out : theie you mull alfo keep from
much handling, that they may be clean ; put them
into the afore prepared Syrup, in which let them
. remain to the next day, then [Eat them on the Fire,
in a fair broad ConfeEiing Pan, (made of Copper or
Brafs double Tinned over) until they be very hot,
but without any boiling at all -,' let them remain o-
vet the Fire an hour or more, removing them gently

Oven, to dry and harden ,7. but for want of fuch a
Place, you’ may dry them over a gentle Sand Heat,
in :1 Sand Furnace, or by laying them before the
Fire. After this manner you may Condite or Pre-
ferve any other Roots whatfoever. The Rams thus
Condited or Preferred are exceeding good for old
