Recipe . HAlfe a dozen Turks with Turbants on their heads , and Cimitars by their sides , all well purg'd of dross and impurities by Moonlight ; one hundred Jews circumcised secundum artem , fourty Arabians stuck with spices of all kinds ; ten New-England men ; fifty Pyrats ; eight Excise-men , nineteen Geneva-men , three Jesuits , thirty Quakers , one and fifty Anabaptists , lantch't in fair river water , threescore Independents ; a quarter of a pound of John Lilburn's bones beaten into fine powder and sear'd , the better to unite with the rest ; whereunto adde an ounce of Oyle of Saint-John's-Wort , a drachme of the scrapings of the Divell 's cloven foot ; five spoon-fulls of the marrow of old Oliver's nose ; half a Committee man ; two Gallons of Aquafortis , seventy Scot's haslets , together with a Kilderkinfull of Hugh Peter's sighs and tears , evaporated into water in an Alembiqu ' made of an Organ-pipe ; you may throw in ( if you see cause ) a barrell or two of Gunpowder , ( the whitest is best ) a firebrand lighted at both ends , and one grain of Quicksilver , and ( to keep all from blowing up ) twenty or thirty Redcoats ( according to discretion ) and lastly for the better relishing of the Oleo , a Pispot full of Alderman Atkins's perfume , you need not trouble your selfe to go to the Apothecaries for it , the best is sold by Tom Turd about Pancridg Church fields : to all these add but one scruple of Eternity to make it last for ever . Put all these materials together into a great Mortar made of all the Bells in England , Scotland , and Ireland ; beat them well together till they become incorporated into a strong body , then set them over a gentle fire , till they become just Lukewarm , and no more : take it off from the fire , let it coole , and keep it for use . The Vertues . 'T is excellent good to purge the Nation to skin and bones : It agree's very well with the Common-wealth's men's appetite , but rises in the Cavaliers stomack ; for which cause they , and the Presbyterians had best refrain it : The Spaniard would like it well if he might have a finger in the dish ; the Frenchman would love it beyond his nicest Kiékshawes . 'T is good against poverty . An excellent Restorative for broken fortunes . It forces men out of Gaoles to preferments . But you must know that 't is also very dangerous for some constitutions ; for it makes some peoples heads fall off from their shoulders , others dye upon a Gibbet , and sends many an one a pickpack to the Divell : upon which consideration I have thought fit to set down a necessary preparatory or course of physick which every man ought to run who intends to be rightly qualified that he may feed sweetly on it , find it concoct rightly , and turn to his proper nourishment , the onely use it was intended for . The Method to be us'd by our Patient . First you must abstain from reading Divinity books , and hearing sermons three years , when you have done so , you must go to Rome and take Orders there ; when you return you must shift your cloathes to the very skin , and put on any habit you please but a Papist's , then you must preach one twelve-moneth which being duely observed , take but the quantity of an Hasle-nut of the following Pill for a fortnight , together without intermission , and you are right . Recipe . The Pill : Of Hypocrisy 5 scruples ; self-denying one drachme ½ of Impudence 9 ounces , Religion . q. s. powder of a sear'd Conscience 7lb : water of Orphan's tears 1 Rundlet full ; Church-lands as much as you can get ( for that 's a scarce Commodity , and almost all bought up ) 3lb : ¼ of the rust of a weathercock , ℥ of Atheisme to role up the Pill to make it go down with the lesse obstruction . Make all but the last drugg into a masse ; take of it ( as I said before ) the proportion of an Hasle nut every morning next your heart , for the space of time above mentioned , and you may partake freely of the Oleo , and yow l find your self after a little use fit to make an ingredient in such another when that 's spent . Probatum erit .
