To boyle Chickins with Lettice, the best way. CUt euery Chicken in foure quarters, after the parboyling of them, and put them into a Pipkin with two or three sweet-Breads of Ueale: or if you can not so readily come by so many then take the Udder of a Ueale, and parboyle it very well. Cut it in pieces, and put it into the Pipkin, with a sliced Lemmon. Then take Lettice: cut them, and wash them cleane, and bruise them with the backe of a Ladle, and put them into the Pipkin: then take a good deale of sweet Butter, about the quantity of halfe a pound, halfe a pinte of Sacke, a quarter of a pinte of white Wine, Mace, a sliced Date, a Nutmeg: you may put in three or foure Dates sliced, if you haue so many. Let all these boyle together ouer the fire with Marigold flowers, and sweet Hearbes.
