A67797	Cerevisiarii comes, or, The new and true art of brewing, illustrated by various examples in making beer, ale and other liquors, so that they may be most durable, brisk and fragrant and how they may be so ordered, as to yeild the greatest quantity of spirits in distillation : to which is added, the right way to refine and bottle beer and cyder, and a cure for those that are sick and ropy, so as to return them to their internal sanity, as also the true method of manuring lands and the art of making salt water fresh : all proved by demonstration and sound philosophy, to be more agreeable to man's body than otherwise, and so not only fit for english constitutions, but also for transportation : published for the sake of verity, and therefore recommeded to all that esteem demonstrated truths before notional theory / by W.Y. Worth ...	Y-Worth, W. (William)	1692 (1692)	Wing Y216; ESTC R13121	45,081	144

the same being rightly matched or rather mastered a little with the Hop to alter their Tast they can best-tell that have made their private Experience and Profit of them when others very inconsiderately have run on in their common nnd chargeable way of Brewing The Liquor of Beech is likewise commended for the making an excellent and wholesome Drink There may also an excellent Drink be made from the Tops and Flowers of Heath seasonably gathered and dryed and brewed as you have occasion for it The Root Pottato being rightly ordered doth also make an excellent Bread and Beer why then may not the English Hearts be as well contented with these in Time of need as they are in some of the Northern Parts in Time of Plenty with Stock-fish for Bread as they who have been at Islands can tell you Nay dryed Fish is esteemed a very good Food in Holland Now we having recommended such Things to your Thoughts as in the Scarcity of Malt or Barley make good Drink we shall likewise touch at that which may also help when there is a Scarcity of Hops the End of Hops being only to allay the exceeding Insciousness of the Malt by their Bitterness whereby both uniting themselves together becomes a Savory and wholesome Drink for Man's Body Now this may be in every respect as well performed with Wormwood and in some Sense more agreeable for Wormwood is endued with many virtuous Qualities It Strengthens the Stomach Resists Putrefaction Prevents Surfeits Strenghening both the Retentive and Expulsive Faculty and many more as may be seen in every Herbal when as to Hops we do not attribute one half the Vertues 't is true they purge the Belly of Choler And thus appears the wholesomeness of Beer above Ale as Parkinson saith but however we are speaking of their scarcity when Wormwood is generally at all Times found in the Field or High-Ways But here some may object and say That Wormwood will make Drink too bitter But in answer to this I say That we must learn to know the Qualities of Things for as we have said in the Britannean Magazine of Wines one handful of Wormwood goes farther than three of other Herbs nay than five of some sort especially when it seeds for therein consists the most oleous Parts and as the End is but only to mitigate the sweetness of the Malt therefore you may take such a Proportion as will only mitigate and yet not let the bitter Quality be predominant beginning with small Quantities and when by several Tryals you have hit the pondus let that be your Guide in Brewing It hath also been asserted in the Publick Press That Centaury Artichoke Leaves or Aloes Hepatique as having a Signature with the Hop may if rightly used supply the scarcity thereof but you must learn by Experience to acquaint your self with the Knowledge of the internal Quality of things there being such a considerable Difference in things of the same kind or species You have an Example of this in Arsmart for the Male is twice as strong as that of the Female and yet they are both still Arsmart therefore I say That the Signature must be learned and known where the full Impression is stamped It is true this Defect cannot wholly be attributed to generous Nature because she is alwayes ready to work is Sperm as God doth in the Free-will of Man as Sandivogius truly saith The Defect is in the Matrix or Place as being either over-burthened with the predicted Gass or else with stinking sulphurous Excrements So that if Vegetation from thence proceeds of this that or the other kind the Vegetable or Mineral so produced is not by half so Vertuous nay in some degree 't is quite opposite to that which is produced from a good Soyl But how little do the Physicians or Inhabitants of this Land consider this for say they sure of Vegetables of this or that or th' other Quality either Temperately Dry Hot Cold or Moist did perform this that or th' other Cure on this or that Constitution with which it sympathized it must do it again but yet for all this when they have prescribed them they have found themselves much deceived and not conceiving the Reason thereof they have ascribed it to some more hidden Cause when alas the Reason is obvious It is also evident that one Field doth not bring forth Grain in all things exactly alike with the other neither doth one Soyl continue to produce the same effect for Years together for the Crops in Time of Harvest will be considerably different one Good Full and Pleasantly nourishing the other Dwindling and Hungry Therefore is it requisite as the Countryman yearly experiences to alter the Grain but even in this Case there might be a considerable Remedy were but the Land equally manured yearly for it is but a supplying of the radical Moisture Salt Nitral Vertue or Oleous Milk equal to the Strength of the Grain sowed therein which every distinct Concreate sucks forth in its Vegetation For it is observable in the whole Course of Nature that every thing requires a continual Supply otherwise that being thereof deprived would soon be exhausted as we have elsewhere said The Presidents we have of this Nature are endless to be reckoned up but seeing there is a Cloud of Witnesses we shall omit it and only recommend to those that are not satisfied in this Point the adjournal of their dayly Desire to Food without which it would be impossible to subsist And seeing things are so evidently different although they proceed from Land well manured what must those then be that proceed from Land never manured at all therefore it is not sufficient that it is Arsmart but its sufficiency lies in this sc in having the true Signature thereon Nay more than this even to the Superlative Degree that you gather it when the Signature is in its full Reign and Dominion siting as I may say in the Throne of that Vegetable and contributing Vertue to all its Parts for if you know not this you may certainly miss of having the same in its prestant Vigour for we mind not so much the Planitary Hours as we do the Signature of Things this being so really necessary to qualifie a Physician therefore I wonder what the Apothecary thinks when he employs Old Women to gather his Simples who do it at all Times and in all Places where they can find most they poor Hearts know no better it is a Livelihood that they want and the Apothecary buys it cheap to make up his Hodg-podge of all together which is a main Reason That as the worthy Robert Boyle said so many Diseases are Cured in Books and so few in Beds we therefore cannot chuse but Recommend to the Inhabitants of this Nation Spagyrical Medicines such we mean as are prepared by separating the Good from the Bad that is the friendly Balsamick Nature only from the Corruptions which hinder its free Action which can never be obtained
