Lay these on the Oats, and upon them put two Inches thick of Oats, dry'd as
before; and on them again, a Layer of Grapes, and so the Oats upon them,
continuing this Practice till the Vessel is full. Then take a Cork, well
soak'd in Oil, and stop it close in the Jar, and seal it up with Pitch,
Bees-Wax, and a little Rosin, melted together, and keep it in a cool Place;
but to bury it three Foot under ground, is better.

A Collar of _Mutton_ roasted. From _St. Edmund's-Bury_ in _Suffolk._
Take a Coast of Mutton, which is the Neck and Breast together, skin it in
the whole Piece; then parboil it, and prepare a Mixture of Crumbs of Bread;
Lemon-Peel grated, a little Pepper, Salt, Nutmeg, or sweet Marjoram
powder'd, which answers the End of most Spices, or else a little dry'd
sweet Basil, which we call _Bush-Basil_, in the Gardens. To this, add the
Yolks of six hard Eggs, beat in a Mortar, with six Ounces of Butter; mix
this with the other Ingredients; then take the inside of the Mutton, and
cover it with this Mixture, and roll it up as close as can be, and secure
it in the Roll; so that it may be close for the Spit. It must be spitted
through the Middle length-ways, and basted with Butter, salting it every
now and then, and the Gratings of Crusts of Bred should be sprinkled upon
it, with the seasoning above.
