circle in Paper which shall fit round about the said cap and shall serve to past on the cap to the Coffin So you have all things ready to the finishing of your Rocket which must be done in the manner which followeth R. in the next Figure is the Crackers fastened to the top of the Rocket S. is the cap T. is the Fisgigs finished H. is the stick tyed to the Rocket 8. The manner of finishing a Rocket HAving driven your Rocket as I have shewed with the Paper turned downe you must first prime it which must be with Cotten-wick made for that purpose which you must put into the vent leaving a peece to hang lower then the mouth of the Rocket by three or foure inches which being done tye a peece of Paper over the Mouth that it may not fall out Now having primed your Rocket you may proceed to the heading of it and that is done after this manner Take your Rocket and on the head you should turne down the Paper you must with a Bodkin pierce two or three holes that when the Rocket hath spent it selfe the workes which are in the head may take fire which holes prime with a little Powder-dust and then put on the head with the choaking fitted to your Rocket which must come over the same in such manner that the bottome of the greater part must come even with the top of the Rocket which tye fast to the Rocket with thread and then put in your workes But before you put in your works whether they be Starres or any other works you must put in a little Cotton-wool being rouled in Powder dust to make your starrs to take fire or likewise may blow out Having thus done put in your starrs or other works and if you make more then one tire as you may doe of your starrs then you must put more Cotten rouled in Powder-dust among them or betweene every tire that they may all take fire then take your Cap and fill the hollow place with Cotton because it is light likewise will fire quickly which being fitted paste it close to the top of the Coffin that it may stand upright then must you fit your stick for the peasing of your Rocket which ought to be eight times the length of the Rocket without the head You must get the smoothest and lightest you can such as Basket-makers use and then cut one side of it flat at the great end then make two notches on the round side that the one be differing from the other so much as is betweene the choaking of your Rocket and the end of the Vent for if you should tye it upon the Vent it would loosen the Powder causing it to breake in the fyring Be carefull that you tye not the wrong end of the Rocket uppermost but tye that end downward which is choaked and with a peece of thread that is strong tye it to the lower notch about the choaking When you have tyed that then tye the other higher and let the stick come even with the top of the Rocket The manner whereof is shewed in the next Figure by the Letter G. Then pease your Rocket by laying it on your finger two or three inches from the mouth and if you find the stick be too heavy cut it shorter till you find your Rocket to ballance your stick for if the stick be too heavy the Rocket will be slug and being too light the Rocket will fall before it be halfe up These things being provided you have your Rocket ready to be fired which must be after this manner following 9. The manner of firing Rockets with the description of a Staffe for the same YOu must provide a long Staffe with a Pike at one end to be thrust hard into the ground with a three legged staffe having a hollow hoope at the top to let this long staffe slide up and down to the end that having Rockets whose sticks are longer then the staffe yet by raising it through the said Iron hoope you may make it foure or five foote longer then it would be standing on the ground Now this long staffe must have a sliding peece cut with severall poynts which must be neere the top and at the bottome there must be a Ring of Wyer to let the stick goe through which must be made likewise to slide up and down so thrusting the small end through the said Ring your Rocket will rest upon that part above which must be just opposite in a streight line so open the mouth of your Rocket and pull out the end of your Cotton-wick and with a piece of Match fastened in a Linstock give fire to the wicke and by degrees you shall see it fire your Rocket which ordered well will mount very streight and high Thus having shewed the whole order of composing a Rocket with firing of the fame I will in the next place shew you the order for making of Starrs and other works which are necessary for the heads of your Rockets The Figure of the Rocket and the staffe are here presented The Letter G. is the Rocket with the long stick A. The long Staffe to rise thorough the Ring B. B. B. The three legged Staffe C. The Ring or Hoope of Iron for the long staffe to slide thorow D. The Screw to fasten to the long staffe being raised E A piece of Iron filed with notches to hang the Rocket on F. The Ring of Wyre to put thorow the stick to be raised higher or lower G. Is the Rocket H. The long stick 10.
