Really what more could you ask for? This is the only extant copy (thanks again Bodleian). In case you are wondering the same formula will grow you a new set of teeth and also 'take out the furrowed wrinkles as smooth as a girl of sixteen'.

Very slowly poached preferably overnight cut up quinces sugar syrup (equal sugar and water) to cover overnight in a very low oven hardly any faff but I think better than quince paste and more versatile
