Loin of Pork and Beans

Have a small loin of tender pork of about three pounds. Place it in a roasting pan. Sprinkle over one teaspoon salt and half teaspoon white pepper. Make an incision with a knife in the middle of the loin about one and a half inches deep. Immerse a sound bean of peeled garlic, then spread one tablespoon fat over the loin and pour half gill cold water into the pan. Set the loin in the hot oven and roast for one hour, taking care to turn it every ten minutes and to frequently baste it with its own gravy. Remove the loin, lay it on a hot dish, skim the fat off the gravy, then add to the pan one pound cooked and well-drained white beans, briskly toss them, place the roasting pan on the fire and let boil for two minutes. Arrange the beans around the loin and serve.
