Summary of the Recipe
Folio 16r describes a medieval herbal preparation using hemp seed as the primary ingredient. The process involves:
Mixing hemp seed with oil, ale, peas, honey, and soots (carbon).
Heating with coal and torch.
Chopping and thickening the mixture.
Measuring with tithes (tenth parts).
Applying a coating or paint.
Observing the final product.
The text is written in a first-person instructional style ("I" and "thou"), consistent with a recipe or alchemical manual. The use of Middle English vocabulary (e.g., soþe, þou, ich, þiþe, chope) aligns with 15th-century vernacular.
This decipherment, based on systematic anagram analysis and anchored by the plant name "henep sed," provides a coherent and historically plausible reading of Folio 16r.

I would also add the well known star "old cheesey", known for it's yellow hue
Monkeys and Typewriters n' all that. I can assure you the text has nothing to do with middle English, you would know if it did, it's not far from (modern) English.
