Original Text
To dress French Beans. FIRST string them, then cut them in two, and afterwards across; but if you would do them nice, cut the bean into four, and then across, which is eight pieces. Lay them into water and salt, and when your pan boils put in some salt and the beans: when they are tender they are enough; they will be soon done. Take care they do not lose their fine green. Lay them in a plate, and have butter in a cup.
