according_a to_o direction_n many_o thing_n in_o chemistry_n may_v be_v do_v better_a and_o cheap_a than_o they_o now_o be_v and_o some_o thing_n may_v be_v then_o do_v that_o with_o the_o form_n of_o

will_v be_v in_o my_o opinion_n a_o very_a great_a benefactor_n to_o mankind_n and_o will_v enable_v the_o virtuoso_n as_o well_o as_o the_o chemist_n to_o make_v several_a experiment_n which_o at_o present_a be_v scarce_o practicable_a and_o some_o chemist_n will_v perhaps_o think_v this_o attempt_n more_o hopeful_a if_o i_o tell_v they_o first_o that_o i_o remember_v raymund_n lul_n express_o reckon_v it_o among_o three_o or_o four_o of_o the_o principal_a virtue_n he_o ascribe_v to_o the_o philosopher_n stone_n that_o it_o make_v glass_n malleable_a and_o then_o that_o a_o expert_a chemist_n serious_o affirm_v to_o i_o that_o he_o meet_v with_o a_o adeptus_fw-la who_o among_o other_o strange_a thing_n show_v he_o a_o piece_n of_o glass_n which_o the_o relator_n find_v will_v endure_v and_o yield_v to_o the_o hammer_n but_o what_o my_o own_o opinion_n be_v concern_v this_o matter_n and_o what_o be_v the_o uncommon_a inducement_n i_o have_v to_o be_v of_o it_o i_o must_v not_o here_o declare_v and_o on_o this_o occasion_n i_o remember_v i_o have_v see_v a_o instrument_n of_o tin_n or_o pewter_n for_o the_o draw_v of_o spirit_n of_o wine_n which_o you_o know_v be_v one_o of_o the_o chargeabl_a thing_n that_o belong_v to_o chemistry_n so_o contrive_v that_o whereas_o in_o the_o ordinary_a way_n much_o time_n and_o many_o rectification_n be_v requisite_a to_o dephlegm_n spirit_n of_o wine_n one_o distillation_n in_o this_o vessel_n will_v bring_v it_o over_o from_o wine_n itself_o so_o pure_a and_o flegmless_a as_o to_o burn_v all_o away_o and_o i_o remember_v that_o the_o ancient_a french_a chemist_n in_o who_o laboratory_n i_o first_o see_v one_o of_o these_o instrument_n tell_v i_o that_o it_o be_v invent_v not_o by_o any_o great_a alchemist_n or_o mathematician_n but_o by_o a_o needy_a parisian_a chirurgeon_n and_o now_o i_o speak_v of_o spirit_n of_o wine_n i_o shall_v add_v that_o as_o the_o charge_n of_o chemistry_n will_v be_v very_o much_o lessen_v if_o such_o ardent_a spirit_n can_v be_v have_v in_o plenty_n and_o cheap_a so_o i_o think_v it_o not_o improbable_a that_o in_o divers_a place_n there_o may_v be_v find_v by_o person_n well_o skill_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o fermentation_n other_o vegetable_a substance_n far_o cheap_a than_o wine_n from_o which_o a_o inflammable_a and_o saline_a sulphureous_a spirit_n of_o the_o like_a virtue_n for_o dissolve_v resinous_a body_n draw_v tincture_n etc._n etc._n may_v be_v copious_o obtain_v for_o not_o only_o it_o be_v know_v that_o sydar_n perry_n and_o other_o juice_n of_o fruit_n will_v afford_v such_o a_o spirit_n and_o that_o most_o graine●_n not_o very_o unctuous_a as_o barley_n wheat_n etc._n etc._n will_v do_v the_o like_a but_o other_o berry_n that_o grow_v wild_a as_o those_o of_o elder_a will_v yield_v a_o vinous_a liquor_n and_o in_o the_o barbada_n they_o make_v a_o kind_n of_o wine_n even_o of_o root_n i_o mean_v their_o mobby_n which_o they_o make_v of_o potato_n as_o i_o have_v also_o for_o curiosity_n sake_n make_v bread_n of_o the_o same_o root_n nay_o even_o from_o some_o sort_n of_o leave_n such_o a_o liquor_n may_v be_v obtain_v for_o i_o have_v observe_v rose_n well_o ferment_v to_o yield_v a_o good_a spirit_n very_o strong_o taste_v as_o well_o as_o inflammable_a and_o as_o to_o the_o prepare_v of_o pure_a spirit_n of_o wine_n itself_o i_o know_v way_n and_o one_o of_o they_o cheap_a that_o may_v exceed_o shorten_v the_o time_n and_o pain_n of_o dephlegm_v it_o but_o that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v otherwise_o then_o by_o any_o peculiar_a contrivance_n of_o furnace_n or_o glass_n i_o reserve_v it_o for_o a_o fit_a place_n in_o one_o of_o the_o follow_a essay_n and_o as_o more_o expedient_a and_o thrifty_a way_n than_o the_o vulgar_a one_o of_o make_v chemical_a furnace_n and_o vessel_n may_v be_v devise_v so_o
