you_o shall_v find_v some_o few_o note_n of_o i_o upon_o the_o abstract_n follow_v in_o their_o several_a place_n certain_a strange_a and_o extraordinary_a way_n for_o the_o relieve_n of_o a_o

by_o suck_v of_o his_o own_o blood_n 3._o bapt._n porta_n tell_v we_o of_o a_o poor_a fellow_n upon_o who_o a_o ruinous_a house_n fall_v and_o the_o man_n so_o hedge_v in_o with_o the_o floor_n and_o

and_o return_n make_v as_o before_o well_o qd_n the_o turk_n if_o they_o can_v continue_v yet_o 10_o day_n more_o without_o food_n i_o will_v say_v that_o the_o god_n of_o the_o christian_n will_v

for_o though_o we_o may_v suppose_v that_o the_o salt_n of_o nature_n may_v receive_v some_o strength_n or_o vigour_n from_o this_o mineral_n salt_n yet_o how_o the_o gut_n shall_v be_v fill_v with_o

the_o same_o practice_n have_v be_v usual_a in_o hard_a year_n in_o some_o part_n of_o england_n and_o for_o my_o own_o better_a satisfaction_n i_o cause_v some_o of_o the_o same_o flower_n to_o be_v knead_v into_o bread_n but_o it_o be_v very_o brown_a in_o colour_n and_o very_o gretty_a in_o the_o mouth_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v seem_v that_o our_o stone_n be_v not_o so_o apt_a for_o the_o grind_n of_o it_o and_o i_o have_v hear_v some_o affirm_v that_o the_o same_o can_v well_o be_v ground_n but_o in_o a_o steel_n mill_n or_o hand_n mill._n 6_o and_o the_o east-indians_a as_o i_o

how_o to_o make_v a_o excellent_a bread_n of_o the_o root_n of_o aaron_n call_v cuckowpit_n or_o starch_n root_n the_o make_v thereof_o be_v set_v down_o by_o a_o late_a writer_n in_o this_o manner_n first_o the_o root_n that_o be_v large_a must_v be_v cleanse_v from_o all_o skin_n and_o filth_n and_o then_o cut_v into_o small_a and_o thin_a slice_n the_o thin_a you_o make_v they_o the_o soon_o they_o be_v prepare_v see_v they_o in_o boil_a water_n so_o long_o as_o you_o find_v the_o water_n hot_a and_o bite_a and_o till_o the_o root_n begin_v to_o wax_v sweet_a then_o cha●ge_v your_o water_n and_o pour_v fresh_a water_n unto_o they_o and_o so_o continue_v boil_v until_o the_o water_n become_v sweet_a and_o that_o the_o root_n have_v lose_v all_o their_o acrimony_n then_o take_v they_o out_o and_o lay_v they_o abroad_o upon_o canvas_n support_v with_o frame_n and_o be_v dry_a grind_v they_o with_o hand-mill_n and_o they_o make_v a_o most_o white_a and_o pure_a meal_n which_o either_o of_o itself_o or_o by_o the_o mixture_n of_o one_o three_o of_o wheat_n meal_n with_o it_o make_v a_o most_o fair_a and_o savoury_a bread_n this_o carry_v some_o good_a sense_n and_o likelihood_n of_o truth_n with_o it_o for_o we_o find_v by_o daily_a experience_n that_o it_o make_v as_o fair_a if_o not_o a_o fair_a starch_n than_o our_o wheat_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o some_o good_a husbandry_n be_v use_v in_o the_o plant_n and_o multiply_v of_o these_o root_n observe_v the_o nature_n of_o such_o soil_n and_o place_n wherein_o they_o most_o delight_n and_o though_o it_o shall_v fail_v we_o in_o this_o kind_n yet_o we_o shall_v find_v our_o labour_n rich_o requi●ed_v if_o we_o convert_v they_o into_o starch_n only_o but_o here_o it_o be_v to_o be_v remember_v that_o the_o root_n must_v be_v gather_v when_o it_o be_v plump_a ●ull_n and_o in_o his_o pride_n which_o be_v about_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o march_n and_o all_o april_n for_o when_o it_o begin_v once_o to_o spire_n and_o that_o the_o sap_n be_v ●un_v up_o into_o the_o leaf_n than_o the_o root_n shrink_v and_o also_o lose_v much_o of_o his_o virtue_n here_o a_o just_a occasion_n be_v offer_v to_o practice_v the_o like_a upon_o the_o turnip_n whereof_o there_o be_v both_o good_a ●iore_fw-la and_o the_o price_n of_o they_o likewise_o very_o reasonable_a bread_n and_o other_o food_n make_v of_o pompion_n this_o fruit_n be_v both_o cheap_a and_o great_a do_v also_o make_v a_o very_a savoury_a bread_n if_o a_o little_a meal_n be_v mix_v therewith_o yield_v food_n to_o a_o great_a number_n with_o a_o small_a charge_n and_o if_o you_o bestow_v sugar_n and_o other_o sauce_n upon_o it_o it_o may_v also_o pass_v for_o a_o delicate_a dish_n the_o manner_n of_o make_v the_o same_o be_v thus_o describe_v by_o porta_n choose_v the_o great_a and_o ripe_a pompion_n cut_v they_o into_o thin_a slice_n and_o take_v away_o the_o hard_a crust_n or_o coat_n and_o the_o inner_a marrow_n or_o softness_n see_v they_o in_o boil_a water_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o pulp_n or_o pap_n and_o then_o s●rein_o it_o add_v thereto_o a_o three_o part_n of_o meal_n or_o flo●er_n and_o make_v it_o up_o into_o bread_n the_o fresh_a you_o eat_v the_o same_o the_o more_o pleasant_a and_o deli●●te_a you_o shall_v esteem_v it_o but_o with_o my_o author_n favour_n i_o
