it_o either_o do_v not_o or_o that_o they_o have_v reason_n to_o doubt_v that_o it_o will_v not_o work_v or_o ferment_n strong_o enough_o they_o have_v use_v to_o put_v in_o mustard_n or_o some_o other_o thing_n of_o like_a nature_n to_o increase_v the_o fermentation_n now_o that_o which_o in_o cider_n of_o pippin_n have_v be_v a_o cause_n of_o great_a fermentation_n than_o in_o cider_n of_o hard-apple_n be_v both_o use_v after_o the_o former_a method_n be_v this_o that_o the_o pippin_n be_v a_o soft_a fruit_n be_v in_o the_o mill_n bruise_v into_o small_a particle_n than_o the_o hard_a sort_n of_o apple_n and_o consequent_o more_o of_o those_o small_a part_n pass_v the_o strainer_n in_o the_o pepin-cider_n than_o in_o the_o cider_n of_o hard-apple_n which_o cause_v a_o strong_a fermentation_n and_o according_a to_o my_o former_a principle_n a_o great_a loss_n of_o the_o native_a sweetness_n than_o in_o that_o of_o hard-apple-cider_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o the_o lee_n of_o the_o hard-apple-cider_n be_v compound_v of_o great_a particle_n than_o the_o lee_n of_o the_o pepin-cider_n every_o individual_a particle_n be_v in_o itself_o of_o a_o great_a weight_n than_o the_o particle_n of_o the_o lee_n of_o the_o pepin-cider_n and_o consequent_o less_o apt_a to_o rise_v upon_o small_a motion_n which_o produce_v this_o effect_n that_o when_o the_o fermentation_n of_o the_o hard-apple-cider_n be_v once_o over_o unless_o the_o vessel_n be_v stir_v it_o seldom_o fall_v to_o a_o second_o fermentation_n but_o in_o pepin-cider_n it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o if_o the_o gross_a lee_n be_v still_o remain_v with_o the_o cider_n it_o need_v not_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o vessel_n to_o cause_v a_o new_a fermentation_n but_o every_o motion_n of_o the_o air_n by_o a_o change_n of_o weather_n from_o dry_a to_o moist_a will_v cause_v a_o new_a fermentation_n and_o consequent_o make_v it_o work_v till_o it_o have_v destroy_v itself_o by_o lose_v its_o native_a sweetness_n and_o this_o alone_a have_v be_v the_o cause_n why_o common_o when_o they_o broach_v their_o pepin-cider_n they_o find_v it_o so_o unpleasant_a that_o general_o the_o hard-apple-cider_n be_v prefer_v before_o it_o although_o at_o first_o it_o be_v not_o so_o pleasant_a as_o the_o pepin-cider_n yet_o after_o this_o mischief_n have_v prevail_v over_o the_o pepin-cider_n it_o be_v no_o wonder_n to_o find_v the_o hard-apple-cider_n remain_v not_o only_o the_o strong_a but_o even_o the_o more_o pleasant_a taste_v this_o to_o i_o seem_v satisfactory_a for_o the_o discovery_n of_o the_o cause_n why_o in_o herefordshire_n the_o hard-apple-cider_n be_v prefer_v before_o the_o pepin-cider_n but_o perhaps_o it_o may_v by_o some_o be_v object_v that_o they_o have_v before_o the_o ten_o

mistake_n or_o chance_n the_o maker_n of_o this_o pepin-cider_n which_o prove_v good_a have_v do_v that_o or_o somewhat_o like_o that_o which_o under_o the_o next_o assertion_n i_o shall_v set_v down_o as_o a_o method_n to_o cure_v the_o inconvenience_n which_o happen_v to_o pepin-cider_n by_o the_o suffering_n it_o to_o ferment_n too_o often_o or_o too_o strong_o but_o till_o that_o be_v explain_v it_o will_v be_v improper_a to_o show_v more_o full_o what_o these_o particular_a accident_n may_v possible_o be_v which_o without_o the_o intention_n of_o those_o person_n which_o make_v the_o cider_n cause_v it_o to_o prove_v much_o better_a than_o their_o expectation_n or_o indeed_o better_o than_o any_o can_v afterward_o make_v they_o possible_o assign_v the_o goodness_n of_o that_o cider_n to_o somewhat_o that_o be_v not_o real_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o effect_n to_o justify_v my_o four_o assertion_n and_o show_v a_o method_n how_o to_o cure_v the_o inconveniency_n which_o happen_v to_o pepin-cider_n by_o the_o over-working_a i_o must_v first_o take_v notice_n of_o some_o thing_n which_o i_o have_v be_v often_o tell_v concern_v wine_n and_o which_o indeed_o give_v i_o the_o light_n to_o know_v what_o be_v the_o cause_n which_o have_v make_v pepin-cider_n that_o have_v wrought_v long_o hard_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v clear_a again_o the_o thing_n i_o mean_v be_v that_o in_o divers_a part_n and_o even_o in_o france_n they_o make_v three_o sort_n of_o wine_n out_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o grape_n that_o be_v they_o first_o take_v the_o juice_n of_o the_o grape_n without_o any_o more_o press_v than_o what_o come_v from_o their_o own_o weight_n in_o the_o what_fw-mi and_o the_o bruise_n they_o have_v in_o put_v into_o vessel_n which_o cause_v the_o ripe_a of_o those_o grape_n to_o break_v and_o the_o juice_n without_o any_o press_n at_o all_o make_v the_o pleasant_a and_o most_o delicate_a wine_n and_o if_o the_o grape_n be_v red_a then_o be_v this_o first_o wine_n very_o pale_a the_o second_o sort_n they_o press_v a_o little_a which_o make_v a_o red_a wine_n but_o neither_o so_o pleasant_a as_o the_o first_o nor_o so_o harsh_a as_o the_o last_o which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o utmost_a press_v of_o the_o very_a skin_n of_o the_o grape_n and_o be_v by_o much_o more_o harsh_a and_o of_o deep_a colour_n than_o either_o of_o the_o other_o two_o now_o i_o presume_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o at_o least_o in_o part_n to_o be_v that_o in_o the_o first_o sort_n of_o wine_n which_o have_v little_a of_o the_o substance_n beside_o the_o very_a juice_n of_o the_o grape_n there_o be_v little_a lee_n and_o consequent_o little_a fermentation_n and_o because_o it_o do_v not_o work_v long_o it_o lose_v but_o little_a of_o the_o original_a sweetness_n it_o have_v the_o second_o sort_n be_v a_o little_a more_o press_v have_v somewhat_o more_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o grape_n add_v to_o the_o juice_n and_o therefore_o have_v more_o of_o that_o part_n which_o cause_v fermentation_n put_v with_o it_o ferment_n more_o strong_o and_o be_v therefore_o when_o it_o have_v do_v work_v less_o pleasant_a than_o the_o first_o sort_n which_o wrought_v less_o and_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n the_o three_o sort_n be_v most_o of_o all_o press_v have_v most_o of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o grape_n mingle_v with_o the_o liquor_n and_o work_v the_o long_a but_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o work_n when_o it_o settle_v and_o be_v clear_a it_o be_v much_o more_o harsh_a than_o either_o of_o the_o two_o first_o sort_n the_o thought_n of_o this_o make_v i_o first_o apprehend_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o apple_n mingle_v with_o the_o juice_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o fermentation_n which_o be_v real_o nothing_o else_o but_o a_o endeavour_n of_o the_o liquor_n to_o free_v itself_o from_o those_o heterogeneous_a part_n which_o be_v mingle_v with_o it_o and_o where_o there_o be_v the_o great_a proportion_n of_o those_o dissimilar_v part_n mingle_v with_o the_o liquor_n the_o endeavour_n of_o nature_n must_v be_v the_o strong_a and_o take_v up_o more_o time_n to_o perfect_v the_o separation_n which_o when_o finish_v leave_v all_o the_o liquor_n clear_a and_o the_o gross_a part_n settle_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o vessel_n which_o we_o call_v the_o lee._n nor_o do_v this_o apprehension_n deceive_v i_o for_o when_o i_o begin_v according_a to_o the_o method_n which_o i_o shall_v hereafter_o set_v down_o to_o separate_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o lee_n from_o the_o cider_n before_o it_o have_v ferment_v i_o find_v it_o to_o retain_v a_o very_a great_a part_n of_o its_o original_a sweetness_n more_o than_o it_o will_v have_v do_v if_o the_o lee_n have_v not_o be_v take_v away_o before_o the_o fermentation_n and_o this_o not_o once_o but_o constant_o for_o seven_o year_n now_o the_o method_n which_o i_o use_v be_v this_o when_o the_o cider_n be_v first_o strain_v i_o put_v it_o into_o a_o great_a what_fw-mi and_o there_o let_v it_o stand_v twenty_o four_o hour_n at_o least_o sometime_o more_o if_o the_o apple_n be_v more_o ripe_a than_o
