we_o be_v not_o by_o any_o thing_n excuse_v from_o take_v glass_n in_o the_o composition_n of_o the_o aludel_n in_o order_n to_o which_o let_v a_o round_a glass_n vessel_n or_o concha_n be_v make_v with_o a_o flat_a round_a bottom_n and_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o side_n thereof_o a_o zone_n or_o girdle_n of_o glass_n surround_v the_o same_o understand_v this_o description_n be_v hard_o

the_o secret_n but_o the_o cause_n of_o so_o great_a length_n of_o the_o vessel_n be_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o it_o may_v stand_v up_o and_o be_v extend_v beyond_o the_o fire_n and_o be_v
