p. 5, etc. "Metheglin is esteemed to be a very wholsom Drink; and
doubtless it is so, since all the world consents that Honey is a
precious Substance, being the Choice & Collection which the Bees
make of the most pure, most delectable, & most odoriferous Parts of
Plants, more particularly of their Flowers & Fruits. Metheglin is
therefore esteemed to be an excellent Pectoral, good against
Consumption, Phthisick and Asthma; it is cleansing & diuretick,
good against the Stone & Gravel; it is restorative and
strengthening; it comforts and strengthens the Noble parts, &
affords good Nourishment, being made Use of by the Healthy, as well
as by the Sick.

"My worthy Master, that Incomparable Sir Kenelm Digby, being a great
lover of this Drink, was so curious in his Researches, that he made
a large Collection of the choicest & best Receipts thereof."
