a drink given to a horse, made of half a peck of ground malt put into a pail, into which as much scalding hot water is poured as will wet it very well: when that is done, stir it about, till, by tasting, you find it as sweet as honey; and when it has stood till it is lukewarm, it is to be given to the horse. This liquor liquor is only used after a purge, to make it work the better: or after hard labour, or instead of drink in the time of any great sickness.
