Modern English
—Take gizzards, and livers, and heart of swan; and if the guts are fat, slit them (clean them?) and cast them therein, and boil them in fair water: and then take them up, and chop them small, and then cast them into the same broth, (but strain it through a strainer first); and cast therein powder pepper, cinnamon, vinegar, and salt, and let boil. And then take the blood of the swan, and fresh broth, and bread, and draw them through a strainer, and cast therein; and let it boil together. And then take powder of ginger, when it is almost enough, and put therein, and serve forth with the swan.
