And I never knew any die upon this.
[How they make Glew.] Whensoever they have occasion to use Glew, they make it after this fashion.

They take the Curd of milk, and strain the water from it through a cloth.

Then tying it up in a cloth like a Pudding, they put it into boyling water, and let it boyl a good while.

Which done it will be hard like Cheese-curd, then mixing it with Lime, use it.

If it be not for present use, they will roul up these Curds into a Ball; which becomes hard, and as they have occasion will scrape some of it off with a Knife, and so temper it with Lime.
