unslake_v lime_n half_a a_o foot_n thick_a than_o another_o of_o dung_n as_o before_o then_o set_v in_o your_o vessel_n and_o lie_v round_o it_o lime_n and_o horse_n dung_n mix_v together_o press_v it_o down_o very_o hard_a you_o must_v sprinkle_v it_o every_o other_o day_n with_o water_n and_o when_o it_o cease_v to_o be_v hot_a then_o take_v it_o out_o and_o put_v in_o more_o 12._o note_v that_o always_o sand_n or_o ash_n must_v be_v well_o sist_v for_o otherwise_o a_o coal_n or_o stone_n therein_o may_v break_v your_o glass_n 13._o the_o time_n for_o putrefaction_n of_o thing_n be_v various_a for_o if_o the_o thing_n to_o be_v putrefy_a be_v vegetable_n and_o green_a less_o time_n be_v require_v if_o dry_a a_o long_o if_o mineral_n the_o long_a of_o all_o thus_o much_o note_n that_o t●●●gs_n be_v soon_o putrefy_a in_o cloudy_a weather_n then_o in_o fair_a 14._o if_o thou_o will_v keep_v vegetable_n fresh_a and_o green_a all_o the_o year_n gather_v they_o in_o a_o dry_a day_n and_o put_v they_o into_o a_o earthen_a vessel_n which_o you_o must_v stop_v close_o and_o set_v in_o a_o cold_a place_n and_o they_o will_v as_o say_v glauberus_fw-la keep_v fresh_a a_o whole_a year_n 15._o do_v not_o expect_v to_o extract_v the_o essence_n of_o any_o vegetable_a unless_o by_o make_v use_n of_o the_o fece_n leave_v after_o distillation_n for_o if_o you_o take_v those_o

vegetable_n lie_v in_o the_o salt_n thereof_o 16._o in_o all_o your_o operation_n diligent_o observe_v the_o process_n which_o you_o read_v and_o vary_v not_o a_o tittle_n from_o they_o for_o sometime_o a_o small_a mistake_n or_o neglect_n spoil_v the_o whole_a operation_n and_o frustrate_v your_o expectation_n 17._o try_v not_o at_o first_o experiment_n of_o great_a cost_n or_o great_a difficulty_n for_o it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a discouragement_n to_o thou_o and_o thou_o will_v be_v very_o apt_a to_o mistake_v 18._o if_o any_o will_v enter_v upon_o the_o practice_n of_o chemistry_n let_v he_o apply_v himself_o to_o some_o expert_a artist_n for_o to_o be_v instruct_v in_o the_o manual_a operation_n of_o thing_n for_o by_o this_o mean_v he_o will_v learn_v more_o in_o two_o month_n than_o he_o can_v by_o his_o practice_n and_o study_v in_o 7_o year_n as_o also_o avoid_v much_o pain_n and_o cost_n and_o redeem_v much_o time_n which_o else_o of_o necessity_n he_o will_v lose_v 19_o enter_v not_o upon_o any_o operation_n unless_o it_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o possibility_n of_o nature_n which_o therefore_o thou_o must_v endeavour_v as_o much_o as_o possible_o may_v be_v to_o understand_v well_o 20._o do_v not_o interpret_v all_o thing_n thou_o read_v according_a to_o the_o literal_a sense_n for_o philosopher_n when_o they_o write_v any_o thing_n too_o excellent_a for_o the_o vulgar_a to_o know_v express_v it_o enigmatical_o that_o the_o son_n of_o art_n only_o may_v understand_v it_o 21._o in_o all_o thy_o operation_n propose_v a_o good_a end_n to_o thyself_o as_o not_o to_o use_v any_o excellent_a experiment_n that_o thou_o shall_v discover_v to_o any_o ill_a end_n but_o for_o the_o public_a good_a 22._o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o thou_o know_v all_o such_o instrument_n that_o thou_o shall_v use_v about_o thy_o furnace_n and_o glass_n whereof_o some_o be_v already_o express_v and_o some_o more_o be_v show_v in_o the_o follow_a page_n a_o b_o c_o d_o e_o a_o signify_v a_o iron_n rod_n with_o two_o iron_n ring_v at_o the_o end_n thereof_o which_o must_v be_v heat_v red_a hot_a and_o apply_v to_o that_o part_n of_o the_o glass_n which_o thou_o will_v break_v off_o when_o thou_o have_v hold_v it_o there_o so_o long_o till_o the_o glass_n be_v very_o hot_a then_o take_v it_o off_o and_o drop_v some_o cold_a water_n where_o thou_o will_v have_v it_o break_v off_o and_o it_o will_v present_o crack_v in_o sunder_o these_o ring_n be_v for_o such_o glass_n as_o will_v go_v into_o they_o thou_o must_v have_v divers_a of_o this_o sort_n even_o of_o all_o size_n b_o a_o iron_n hook_n which_o must_v be_v heat_v hot_a and_o apply_v to_o any_o great_a glass_n that_o will_v not_o go_v into_o a_o ring_n this_o

rake_v to_o rake_v the_o ash_n out_o of_o the_o ash-hole_n a_o thread_n dip_v in_o melt_a brimstone_n and_o tie_v about_o a_o glass_n and_o then_o fire_v may_v serve_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o iron_n ring_v and_o the_o hook_n common_a distil_a simple_a water_n be_v make_v thus_o take_v what_o herb_n or_o flower_n you_o please_v put_v they_o into_o a_o common_a cold_a still_o and_o let_v they_o distil_v gentle_o this_o be_v the_o form_n of_o a_o common_a cold_a still_o but_o note_v that_o this_o kind_n of_o water_n be_v but_o the_o phlegm_n of_o the_o vegetable_a which_o you_o distil_v and_o have_v very_o little_a virtue_n or_o odour_n in_o it_o only_a rose_n and_o mint_n and_o two_o or_o three_o more_o have_v a_o odour_n but_o all_o beside_o have_v as_o little_a virtue_n as_o common_a distil_a water_n i_o do_v not_o deny_v but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v so_o order_v that_o these_o kind_n of_o water_n may_v partake_v both_o of_o the_o smell_n and_o strength_n of_o their_o vegetable_n in_o a_o good_a measure_n and_o it_o be_v thus_o to_o make_v water_n in_o a_o cold_a still_o that_o shall_v have_v the_o full_a smell_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o vegetable_a take_v what_o herb_n flower_n or_o root_v you_o please_v so_o that_o they_o be_v green_a bruise_v they_o and_o mix_v with_o they_o some_o leaven_n and_o let_v they_o stand_v close_o cover_v for_o four_o or_o five_o day_n then_o distil_v they_o after_o the_o manner_n aforesaid_a another_o way_n to_o make_v water_n taste_v and_o smell_v strong_a of_o its_o vegetable_a when_o you_o have_v distil_v any_o vegetable_a in_o a_o cold_a still_o after_o the_o usual_a manner_n so_o that_o you_o take_v heed_n you_o dry_v not_o the_o herb_n too_o much_o which_o you_o may_v prevent_v by_o put_v a_o brown_a paper_n in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o still_o giving_z it_o a_o gentle_a fire_n and_o turn_v the_o cake_n before_o it_o be_v quite_o dry_v take_v the_o cake_n that_o remain_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o still_o and_o the_o water_n that_o be_v distil_v from_o thence_o have_v a_o good_a quantity_n thereof_o and_o put_v they_o into_o a_o hot_a still_o and_o let_v they_o stand_v warm_a for_o the_o space_n of_o 24_o hour_n then_o distil_v they_o then_o if_o you_o will_v have_v the_o water_n strong_a put_v the_o say_a water_n into_o more_o fresh_a cake_n cast_v away_o the_o other_o and_o do_v as_o before_o this_o be_v the_o true_a and_o best_a way_n to_o have_v the_o water_n of_o any_o vegetable_n also_o thou_o shall_v by_o this_o way_n purchase_v some_o oil_n which_o be_v to_o be_v separate_v and_o to_o be_v keep_v by_o itself_o to_o make_v water_n at_o any_o time_n of_o the_o year_n in_o a_o cold_a still_o without_o green_a herb_n so_o that_o the_o water_n shall_v smell_v strong_a of_o the_o herb_n put_v fair_a water_n into_o the_o body_n of_o the_o cold_a still_o then_o hang_v a_o bag_n full_a of_o that_o herb_n that_o thou_o will_v have_v the_o water_n of_o be_v first_o dry_v or_o seed_n or_o root_v thereof_o first_o bruise_v then_o make_v a_o strong_a fire_n under_o the_o still_o note_v that_o those_o vegetable_n of_o which_o the_o water_n be_v make_v after_o this_o and_o the_o former_a manner_n must_v be_v of_o a_o fragrant_a smell_n for_o such_o as_o have_v but_o little_a or_o no_o smell_n can_v yield_v a_o water_n of_o any_o considerable_a odour_n another_o way_n to_o make_v a_o water_n taste_v and_o smell_v strong_a of_o its_o vegetable_n take_v of_o the_o dry_a herb_n or_o seed_n or_o root_v bruise_v to_o a_o pound_n of_o each_o put_v 12_o pint_n of_o spring_n water_n distil_v they_o in_o a_o hot_a still_o or_o alembick_a and_o the_o water_n that_o be_v distil_v off_o put_v upon_o more_o of_o the_o fresh_a herb_n seed_n or_o root_n do_v this_o three_o or_o four_o time_n and_o thou_o shall_v have_v a_o water_n full_a of_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o vegetable_a be_v almost_o as_o strong_a as_o a_o spirit_n to_o make_v the_o water_n of_o
