THE HOUSEKEEPER
Good housewife provides^ ere a sickness do come^
Of sundry good things^ in her house to have some
Good aqua composita^'" and vinegar tart^
Rose-water and trecude^ to comjort thine heart ;
Cold herbs in her garden for agues that burn^
That over strong heat to good temper may turn ;
White endive and succory^ with spinach enow^
All such with good pot-herbs^ should follow the
plough;
Get water of fumitory^ liver to cool^
And others the like^ or else lie like a fool;
Ccmserves of barbary^ quinces^ and such
With siropSj that easeth the sickly so much ;
Ask Medicus ” counsel ere medicine ye take
And honour that man^for necessity s sake.
Though thousands hate physic^ because of the cost^
Yet thousands it helpeth^ that else should be lost ;
Good broths and good keepings do much now and
them
Good diet with wisdom^ best comforteth man ;
In health to be stirring shall proft thee best.
For sickness hate movement ; seek quiet and rest.
Remember thy soul ; let no fancy prevail^
Make ready to God-ward^ let faith never quails
The sooner thyself thou submitted to God^
The sooner he ceaseth to scourge with his rod.

RECIPES
ORANGE MARMALADE
SELECT the largest Seville oranges, as they usually
contain the greatest quantity of juice, and take
those that have clear skins, as the skins form the largest
part of marmalade. Weigh the oranges and weigh also
an equal quantity of loaf sugar✪ Orange Marmalade. Peel the oranges,
dividing the peel of each into quarters, and put them
into a preserving pan. Cover them well with water
and set them on the fire to boil. In the meantime
prepare your oranges, divide them into gores, then
scrape with a teaspoon all the pulp from the white
skin, or instead of peeling the oranges, cut a hole in
the orange and scoop out the pulp. Remove care-
fully all the pips, of which there are innumerable
small ones in the Seville oranges which will escape
observation unless they are minutely examined.
Have a large basin near you with some cold water in
it, to throw the pips and peels into; a pint is suffi-
cient for a dozen oranges. Boil these in the water,
and having strained off the glutinous matter which
comes from them, add it to the other parts. When
