o the size of the Fish, then strew upon the inside of the
Fish, white Salt plentifully, Bay salt beaten very small is better,
whilest this is a doing, let a Skellet with a sufficient quantity of
Renish Wine, or good white Wine be pat over the fire, with the Wine,
Salt, Ginger, Nutmeg, an Onion, foure or five Cloves of Garlick, a bunch
of sweet herbs, _viz_. Sweet Marjoram, Rosemary, peel of halfe a Lemon,
let these boyl to the heighth, put in the Pike, with the Vinegar, in
such manner as not to quench or allay, if possibly the heat of the
Liquor, but the thickest peece first that will aske most boyling, and
the Vinegar last of all; while the Pike boyles, take two quarters of a
pound of Anchoves, one quarter of very good butter, a Saucer of the
Liquor your Pike was boyled in, dissolved Anchoves. Note that the
Liquor, Sauce, the Spice, and the other ingredients must follow the
proportion of the Pike; if your Sauce be too strong of the Anchoves,
adde more faire water to it. Note also that the Liquor wherein this Pike
was dressed, is better to boyle a second Pike therein, then it was at
the first.

in a clean cloth, and let it lye all night covered with White-Wine, let
it be put into a pot with the same Liquor, and no more, let it be close
stopped, then hang it over a very soft and gentle fire, there to
continue six houres in a simpering boyle, when it is cold, take it out
