_Of Violets._
_The use of Oyle of Violets._
Oyle of _Violets, Cammomile, Lillies, Elder flowers, Cowslips, Rue,
Wormwood_, and _Mint_, are made after the same sort; Oyle of
_Violets_, if it be rubbed about the Tempels of the head, doth remove
the extream heat, asswageth the head Ache, provoketh sleep, and
moistneth the braine; it is good against melancholly, dullnesse,
and heavinesse of the spirits, and against swellings, and soares
that be over-hot.
_The Syrupe of Violets._
Take faire water, boyle it, scum it, and to every ounce of it so
boyled and scummed, take six ounces of the blew of _Violets_, only
shift them as before, nine times, and the last time take nine ounces
of _Violets_, let them stand between times of shifting, 12 houres,
keeping the liquor still on hot embers, that it may be milk warm,
and no warmer; after the first shifting you must stamp and straine
your last nine ounces of _Violets_, and put in only the juice of them,
then take to every pint of this liquor thus prepared, one pound of
_Sugar_ finely beaten, boyle it, and keep it with stirring till the _Sugar_
be all melted, which if you can, let be done before it boyle,
and then boyle it up with a quick fire.
