or_o phlegmy_a matter_n there_o be_v also_o another_o way_n of_o make_v this_o gruel_n use_v chief_o among_o the_o wanton_a gentry_n viz._n they_o take_v water_n and_o oatmeal_n as_o be_v before_o

six_o seven_o eight_o or_o nine_o time_n one_o after_o another_o let_v each_o water_n remain_v on_o the_o oatmeal_n a_o certain_a time_n than_o they_o take_v it_o and_o boil_v it_o up_o and_o mix_v it_o with_o milk_n cream_n and_o the_o like_a but_o this_o way_n be_v nothing_o so_o brisk_a lightsome_a and_o lively_a as_o the_o former_a for_o oatmeal_n have_v pass_v through_o in_o its_o

nay_o the_o very_a air_n will_v exhale_v and_o draw_v forth_o the_o more_o spirituous_a part_n of_o all_o flower_n if_o expose_v to_o it_o though_o the_o grain_n have_v never_o pass_v through_o any_o
