off the Rose-mary and Ginger:  then take it off the fire, and let it run through a hair sieve:  and when you have strained it, pick out the Rose-mary and Ginger out of the strainer, and put it into the drink, and throw away the Eggshells, and so let it stand all night.  The next day Tun it up in a barrel:  Be sure the barrel be not too big:  then take a little flower and a little bran, and the white of an Egg, and beat them well together, and put them into the barrel on the top of the Metheglin, after it is tunned up, and so let it stand till it hath done working; then stop it up as close as is possible:  and so let it stand six or seven weeks:  then draw it out and bottle it.  You must tye down the Corks, and set the bottles in sand five or six weeks, and then drink it.

ANOTHER MEATH

Take twenty Gallons of fair Spring-water.  Boil it a quarter of an hour, then let it stand till the next day.  Then beat into it so much honey, as will make it so strong as to bear an Egg the breadth of a two pence above the water.  The next day boil it up with six small handfulls of Rosemary, a pound and a half of Ginger, (being scraped and bruised) and the whites of twenty Eggs together with their shells beaten together, and well mingled with the Liquor.  Clarifie it and skim it very clean, still as the scum riseth, leaving the Ginger and Rosemary in it.  Let it stand till the next day, then Tun it up, and take some New-ale-yest, the whites of two Eggs, a spoonful of flower, beat all these together, and put it on the top of the barrel, when the barrel is full.  Let it work, and when it hath done working, stop it up close for three weeks, or a month.  Then you may bottle it, and a few days after, you may drink it.

ANOTHER

Take three Gallons of water, and boil in it a handful of Rose-mary (or rather the flowers) Cowslips, Sage-flowers, Agrimony, Betony, and Thyme, ana, one handful.  When it hath taken the strength of the herbs, strain it through a hair-sieve, and let it cool twenty hours.  Then to three Gallons of the clear part of this decoction, put one Gallon of honey, and mingle it very well with your hand, till it bear an Egg the breadth of a groat.  Then boil it and skim it as long as any scum will rise.  Afterwards let it cool twenty four hours.  Then put to it a small quantity of Ale-barm, and skim the thin-barm that doth rise on it, morning and evening, with a feather, during four days.  And so put it up into your vessel, and hang in it a thin linnen bag with two Ounces of good White-ginger bruised therein:  And stop it up close for a quarter of a year.  Then you may drink it.
