T{{bl|He Honny being drawen from the combes, although ſome Bees hang on them deade, yet putte all togither into a fayre panne or cauldron, into whiche poure ſo muche water or more, as the quantitie of the combes be. This ſet ouer a ſofte fire, vntill the ſame what it be, is throughly heated and molten in the panne, and in the melting continually ſturre the ſame aboute, with a bigge ſplatter or ſome ſtaffe, leaſte the Waxe cleaue to the panne ſides, throughe the flame or heate of fire, and appeare burned: after poure the whole ſubſtaunce into a courſe hairen bagge, preſſing it forth into a troughe or other like veſſell, made for the only purpoſe, on which poure twoo or three kettles full of hote water, that no dregs hang after on the Waxe, and by that means ſhall you haue the Waxe both pure and cleane. But if you wil haue if caſte into faire round cakes, and to be cleaner and purer, then melte the Waxe againe, and being molten, poure it into a cleane veſſell, which waſhed likewiſe with warme water (as aboue was taught) ſet after in the Sunne, by which meanes, the cake will continue verye long faire of coloure.}}
