thus; When the Beef is through boiled, you may put so much Salt into the
pot as to make the broth like brine, and then boil it gently an hour
longer; or take out the Beef, and put it into a deep dish, and put to it
some of his broth made brine, and cover it with another dish, and stew it

TO BAKE WILDE-DUCKS OR TEALS
Season your Duck and Teal with Pepper and Salt, both within and without, so
much as you think may season them; then crack their bones with a roling
pin; then put them into an earthen pot close, and cover them with Butter,
and bake them in an oven as hot as for bread, and let them stand three or
four hours; when you take them out of the oven, pour out all the Liquor
from them, then melt so much Butter as will cover them; when you have
melted your Butter, let it stand a while, until all the dross be settled to
the bottom, and put in the clear Butter, which must cover the Fowl.
