put to them a handfull of _Sage_, finely shred, one ounce of _Pepper_, one ounce of _Mace_, two ounces of _Cloves_, a good deale of _salt_, eight Eggs very well beaten before you put them in, then work them well with your hand, till they be throughly mingled, and then fill them up. Some like not the Eggs in them, it is not amisse therefore to leave them out. _To cast all kind of Sugar works into Moulds._ Take one pound of _Barabry Sugar_, Clarifie it with the white of an Egg, boyle it till it will roule between your finger and your thumb, then cast it into your standing Moulds, being watered two hours before in cold water, take it out and gild them to garnish a _Marchpine_ with them at your pleasure. _To make all kinde of turned works in fruitage, hollow._ Take the strongest bodyed _Sugar_ you can get, boyle it to the height of _Manus Christi_, take your stone, or rather pewter moulds, being made in three pieces; tye the two great pieces together with _Inkle_, then poure in your _Sugar_ being highly boyled, turne it round about your head apace, and so your fruitage will be hollow, whether it be _Orange_, or _Lemmon_, or whatsoever your Mould doth cast, after they be cast you must colour them after their naturall colours. |
