Bad Butter, That is
Of two Colours, of a bad Taste, too Salt, full of hairs,
not well washed from the Milk, nor will Brined, and
not well Potted, or Tubbs not found, which will in a
short time cause it to be tainted.
Bad Cheese, That is
White and dry, the Butter of it being in the Market
when it is making; too Salt, full of Eyes, not well prest
but hoven and swelling, tough, full of spots, full of hair,
full of whey, full of mites and gentles, rotten and yellowish; made of Burnt Milk, and of stinking and bad Runnet or Steep.
All which good Dairy Women must endeavour to
avoid, else they will spoil that at home which the good
Man is careful to preserve abroad.
