Ierome in an Epistle to a Gentlewoman saith Although thou wash thy skinne with Nitre and rubbe it neuer somuch with the herbe called Bawrak or Bowrik what auayleth it if yet thou remaine filthie with sinne And to those purposes also some doe dissolue Nitre in distilled whaye or in distilled Goates milke or else doe temper it with the brooth and fatnes of figges or else with the fine meale of the knottes of the rootes of Aaron called cuckow pyutle or the knottes of rootes of serpentine called dragon or snakegrasse nine times sooked in rosewater and eche time dryed by the Sunne or ouer a

stronger scouring out Then put oken ashes and vnquenched lyme in a meisshing tubbe the one cowched by course vpon the other by seuerall layes or couches beginning at the nethermost with the ashes and leauing vppermost with the ashes Then poure therein hoat water or rather the warmed vrine of yong boy children in quantitie sufficient to wit so much licour as the ashes and lime will receiue to be but filled with the licour to the vpper ashes And if you take yong boy childes vrine it may be had at the schooles setting vesselles for that purpose Then after sufficient steeping with the ashes and lime boyle that mixture together and lastelie braine and let runne the lie into a receiuing vessell and let it settle to become cleare and then by a spyggot somewhat higher theÌ„ the groundes settled draw the cleare lye from the troubled groundes and boyle that cleare lye downe againe vnto such wasting and strength that it can beare an egge Then distill it into a limbeck if you wil and put by the

melt therein for euerie pinte of that strong distilled water or strong Lye two pound weight of chosen Sope not ranke nor stinking And theÌ„ cast thereto by little and little twise so much weight of Nitre as your sope weyed and as the Nitre is all dissolued therein boile them altogether to the wasting of the said distilled water or lycour of Lie Foreseeing that your boyllyng vessell be but a third part full of them all least they fome ouer This done take it from the fire and slurre it still with a sticke or splatter vntill it be come colde and stiffe Then forme your stuffe into flat
