one_o which_o be_v very_o plain_a familiar_a and_o material_a viz._n in_o brew_v alc_n and_o beer_n first_o you_o make_v your_o liquor_n boil_v hot_a then_o put_v the_o malt_n to_o it_o and_o stir_v

i_o appeal_v to_o yourselves_o if_o your_o wort_n will_v not_o have_v turn_v sour_a sharp_a keen_a and_o of_o no_o use_n or_o virtue_n except_o for_o still_v whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o all_o infusion_n that_o be_v continue_v beyond_o their_o proper_a time_n do_v lose_v all_o their_o good_a virtue_n more_o especial_o if_o they_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o have_v already_o pass_v through_o any_o kind_n of_o fermentation_n or_o digestion_n the_o gross_a body_n of_o all_o such_o thing_n be_v in_o a_o degree_n open_v whereby_o the_o balsamic_a virtue_n become_v as_o it_o be_v volatile_a which_o before_o lay_v hide_v or_o captivate_v in_o the_o body_n of_o phlegm_n as_o be_v most_o manifest_a in_o all_o grass_n or_o herbage_n take_v a_o handful_n of_o grass_n and_o smell_n to_o it_o do_v it_o not_o send_v forth_o a_o gross_a fulsome_a earthy_a smell_n and_o scent_n but_o if_o you_o expose_v the_o same_o grass_n two_o or_o three_o day_n to_o the_o sun_n and_o open_a air_n which_o will_v exhale_v and_o destroy_v the_o fulsome_a phlegmy_a part_n and_o more_o earthy_a substance_n open_v the_o body_n and_o then_o the_o spirituous_a part_n become_v so_o volatile_a that_o it_o

for_o this_o cause_n i_o tell_v you_o that_o dry_a herb_n seed_n and_o grain_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o green_n except_o some_o spicy_a herb_n who_o pure_a virtue_n stand_v a_o degree_n more_o

body_n be_v more_o ready_a to_o infuse_v itself_o than_o other_o the_o astringent_a bitter_a or_o sour_a quality_n but_o they_o follow_v close_o at_o the_o heel_n of_o the_o good_a virtue_n and_o if_o the_o infusion_n or_o preparation_n be_v not_o right_o time_v than_o these_o fierce_a original_a strong_a quality_n will_v suffocate_v the_o supple_a spirit_n and_o in_o a_o moment_n the_o sweet_a body_n turn_v sour_a eager_a and_o astringent_a and_o the_o use_n of_o all_o such_o thing_n prove_v very_o destructive_a to_o the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n and_o be_v very_o unpleasant_a to_o the_o pallate_n and_o stofor_a as_o there_o be_v a_o most_o pleasant_a sweet_a friendly_a power_n and_o virtue_n in_o all_o herb_n seed_n and_o grain_n so_o on_o the_o contrary_a there_o be_v a_o strong_a
