26. Muffett also recommends Gilly-flour Vinegar as the best sauce for sturgeon in summer, p. 172; and Vinegar of Clove-Gilliflowers is mentioned by Culpepper, p. 97, Physical Directory, 1649.

Pegylle I take to be the Pykulle of Liber Cure Cocorum, p. 31, made thus; 'Take droppyng of capone rostyd wele

With wyne and mustarde, as have pou cele [bliss],
With onyons smalle schrad, and sothun in grece,

Meng alle in fere, and forthe hit messe.'

The new Wine is Campolet, p. 267. Henderson does not mention it; Halliwell has Campletes. A kind of wine, mentioned in a curious list in MS. Rawl. C. 86. [See the list in the Notes to Russell, above, p. 202.] I suppose it to be the wine from 'Campole. The name of a certaine white grape, which hath very white kernels.' Cotgrave.

Of new Fish W. de Worde names the Salens (p. 280, 1. 8), Cottell and Tench (p. 281). Torrentyne he makes sele turrentyne (p. 280) seemingly, but has turrentyne salte as a fish salted, at p. 282, 1. 7.

Cottell, p. 282, 1. 14, the cuttlefish. Of these, Sepia vel Lolligines calamariæ, Muffet says, they are called also 'sleewes' for their shape, and scribes' for their incky humour wherewith they are replenished, and are commended by Galen for great nourishers; their skins be as smooth as any womans, but their flesh is brawny as any ploughmans; therefore I fear me Galen rather commended them upon hear-say then upon any just cause or true experience.

For the Salens I can only suggest thunny. Aldrovandi, de Piscibus, treating of the synonyms of the Salmon, p. 482, says, "Græcam salmonis nomenclaturam non inuenio, neque est quod id miretur curiosus lector, cum in Oceano tantum fluminibusque in eum se exonerantibus reperiatur, ad quæ veteres Græci nunquam penetrarunt. Qui voluerit, Salangem appellare poterit. Zaláx enim boni, id est, delicati piscis nomen legitur apud Hesychium, nec præterea qui sit, explicatur: aut a migrandi natura karavádpoμos, vel Spóμaç fluviatilis dicatur, nam Aristoteles in mari dromades vocat Thunnos aliosque gregales, qui aliunde in Pontum excurrunt, et vix vno loco conquiescunt; aut nomen fingatur a saltu, & aλpwr dicitur. Non placet tamen, salmonis nomen a saltu deduci, aut etiam á sale, licet saliendi natura ei optimè quadret saleque aut muria inueturaria etiam soleat. Non enim latine sed a Germanis Belgisuè Rheni accolis, aut Gallis Aquitanicis accepta vox est." See also p. 318. 'Scardula, et Incobia ex Pigis, et Plota, Salena,' Gesner, de Piscibus, p. 273. Can salens be the Greek 'owλny, a shell-fish, perhaps like the razor-fish. Epich. p. 22.'-Liddell and Scott-? I presume not. Solen. The flesh is sweet; they may be eaten fryed or boiled.' 1661, R. Lovell, Hist. of Animals, p. 240. 'Solen: A genus of bivalve mollusks, having a long slender shell; razor-fish.' Webster's Dict.

Sele turrentyne, p. 277. Seemingly a variety of seal, or of eel or sole if sele is a misprint. But I cannot suggest any fish for it.

Rochets, p. 281, 1. 5. Rubelliones. Rochets (or rather Rougets, because they are so red) differ from Gurnards and Curs, in that they are redder by a great deal, and also lesser; they are of the like flesh and goodness, yet better fryed with onions, butter, and vinegar, then sodden. Muffett, p. 166.

To the Reader.

R Ightly conceiue me, and obserue me well,
I Doe what heere is done for Childrens good,
C Hrist in his Gospell (as S. Marke doth tell)
H Ath not forbidden Children, nor withstood
A Ny that should but aske the ready way,
R Egarding Children, not to say them nay.
D Irecting all that came, how faith should be,

W Hat they should crave of Gods high Majestie,
E Ven Salvation, through their faithful Prayer,
S Ending their contemplations into the ayre,
TO his high throne, whose love so guide us all
E Ven to the end we neuer cease to call.
