To Pot Lobsters.
After the Lobsters are boiled, take out all the Meat, Spawn and body,
dry them well, then pull them in pieces, and put them in a Pan to
Bake, lay at the Bottom of the Pan a layer of butter, then a layer of
Seasoning, & then Lobster, and so on to the Top. Bake it an hour, if the
Pot is large, two hours, when it comes from the Oven, press it down and
drain all the gravy and butter from it, into a clean pan, and when it
is Cold, melt the butter with some added to it, Clarify it & pour
it over your Pot -- It will keep a Month, but best not Eat it under a
Week -- Your Seasoning must be Pepper, Salt, Cloves, Nutmeg and
Mace -- The more of the hard red Spawn the better, it adds greatly both
to the Goodnes and Colour.

To make a Bean Pudding.
Take 60 Beans boil'd and Blanch'd, beat them very fine in a
Mortar with a Spoonful of Orange flower Water, 3 Quarters of a pound
of Butter, and the same Quantity of double refin'd Sugar, then take the
Yolks of 12 Eggs, beat them and Mix all well together, put it in a Dish with
puff paste at the Bottom -- three Quarters of an hour will Bake it.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
