another_o pair_n of_o hand_n row_v up_o that_o so_o the_o bottom_n may_v come_v into_o the_o still_o and_o when_o fill_v so_o high_a as_o the_o upper_a nail_n let_v down_o your_o head_n on_o the_o still_o but_o put_v not_o the_o beck_n or_o nose_n as_o yet_o into_o the_o worm_n for_o reason_n hereafter_o express_v then_o the_o still_o be_v charge_v proceed_v to_o the_o make_n of_o your_o fire_n which_o be_v best_a of_o coal_n or_o dry_a cleftwood_n and_o very_o strong_a until_o it_o begin_v to_o boil_v as_o a_o pot_n go_v over_o then_o must_v you_o set_v the_o pipe_n of_o the_o head_n into_o the_o worm_n and_o as_o it_o begin_v to_o drop_v and_o run_v a_o small_a stream_n into_o the_o can_v then_o immediate_o must_v you_o throw_v damp_v under_o the_o still_o which_o be_v the_o ash_n that_o fall_v under_o your_o grate_n and_o keep_v wet_a for_o that_o end_n for_o if_o you_o shall_v not_o do_v so_o it_o will_v boil_v over_o into_o the_o worm_n and_o so_o stop_v and_o foul_a the_o same_o and_o have_v proceed_v thus_o far_o your_o still_o be_v in_o a_o good_a temper_n you_o must_v begin_v to_o lute_n all_o fast_o with_o a_o paste_n make_v of_o whiteing_n and_o rie-flower_n you_o must_v exact_o lute_n round_o the_o neck_n of_o your_o still_o and_o by_o so_o do_v you_o will_v keep_v in_o that_o breath_n in_o which_o be_v the_o spirit_n and_o as_o you_o have_v past_v the_o

fire_n that_o you_o bring_v your_o still_o to_o work_v so_o as_o that_o the_o stream_n may_v run_v the_o bigness_n of_o a_o large_a goose_n or_o turkey_n quill_n and_o be_v thus_o bring_v to_o work_v it_o must_v be_v continue_v till_o all_o the_o strength_n be_v off_o and_o what_o run_v be_v a_o stink_a phlegm_n thus_o be_v you_o to_o proceed_v in_o your_o first_o extraction_n the_o second_o shall_v be_v show_v hereafter_o as_o to_o the_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v it_o be_v in_o the_o distil_v of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o press_v forth_o from_o their_o corporiety_n but_o thick_a and_o thin_a must_v all_o go_v into_o the_o still_o together_o and_o this_o general_o will_v cake_n although_o you_o take_v all_o the_o care_n you_o can_v to_o stir_v it_o before_o it_o work_v by_o which_o mean_n we_o have_v know_v the_o bottom_n of_o a_o new_a still_o burn_v out_o which_o to_o prevent_v as_o we_o have_v do_v in_o our_o trial_n you_o must_v observe_v that_o in_o make_v your_o still_o two_o inch_n above_o the_o turn_n and_o just_a even_o with_o the_o closure_n of_o the_o brickwork_n you_o must_v have_v your_o still_o turn_v with_o a_o very_a large_a verge_n and_o exact_o hammer_v for_o the_o upper_a part_n to_o shut_v in_o which_o must_v be_v proportion_v round_o up_o as_o in_o other_o still_n with_o a_o neck_n exact_o fit_a for_o the_o head_n on_o which_o you_o must_v place_v two_o ring_n just_a opposite_a one_o to_o another_o that_o so_o at_o any_o time_n upon_o occasion_n it_o may_v be_v easy_o lift_v off_o to_o which_o verge_n you_o must_v fit_v a_o very_a strong_a iron_n hoop_n the_o upper_a part_n of_o which_o must_v have_v three_o strong_a ring_n in_o it_o that_o so_o upon_o occasion_n a_o rope_n may_v be_v fasten_v to_o it_o to_o the_o under_o part_n you_o must_v lace_n or_o brace_n on_o your_o container_n which_o must_v come_v within_o two_o or_o three_o inch_n of_o the_o bottom_n as_o also_o within_o two_o inch_n of_o every_o side_n then_o place_v your_o hoop_n on_o the_o verge_n and_o charge_v your_o still_o the_o corporiety_n will_v be_v therein_o receive_v and_o the_o liquor_n will_v pass_v to_o fill_v up_o the_o vacancy_n then_o shut_v down_o the_o shoulder_n of_o your_o still_o and_z lute_z fast_o with_o a_o paste_n make_v of_o calx_fw-la vive_fw-la and_o whites_n of_o egg_n or_o fine_a flower_n and_o sand_n or_o thick_a well_o boil_v starch_n and_o sand_n let_v down_o your_o head_n but_o you_o must_v not_o yet_o put_v the_o nose_n into_o the_o worm_n but_o make_v a_o good_a fire_n as_o you_o be_v before_o direct_v and_o so_o cause_v your_o liquor_n to_o boil_v and_o before_o it_o work_v great_a part_n of_o the_o wild_a gass_n or_o unruly_a spirit_n will_v go_v off_o invisible_o as_o much_o indeed_o as_o can_v be_v expect_v except_o your_o liquor_n have_v be_v decoct_v and_o cool_v in_o now_o as_o the_o beck_n nose_n or_o end_n of_o the_o pipe_n begin_v to_o drop_v you_o must_v put_v it_o into_o the_o worm_n and_o lute_n fast_o as_o before_o direct_v as_o also_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o still_n and_o your_o still_o be_v bring_v to_o work_v you_o must_v in_o all_o thing_n proceed_v in_o the_o extract_a your_o low-wine_n as_o before_o lay_v down_o in_o the_o first_o observation_n and_o this_o also_o be_v to_o be_v note_a that_o some_o malt_n grain_n and_o fruit_n will_v in_o the_o begin_n run_v off_o a_o can_v two_o or_o three_o of_o proof_n spirit_n and_o then_o it_o general_o run_v long_o other_o sometime_o run_v not_o at_o the_o beginning_n so_o full_o proof_n and_o yet_o will_v yield_v indifferent_o well_o thus_o your_o low_a wine_n be_v distil_v you_o let_v they_o lie_v ten_o or_o fourteen_o day_n to_o enrich_v themselves_o for_o in_o that_o time_n they_o get_v by_o lie_v and_o some_o think_v that_o if_o they_o lie_v long_o they_o lose_v as_o also_o proof_n spirit_n except_o they_o lie_v very_o warm_a but_o however_o they_o may_v as_o we_o have_v find_v by_o experience_n be_v so_o order_v as_o that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o more_o mellow_a and_o better_v themselves_o thereby_o these_o rule_n be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o extract_a all_o kind_n of_o low-wine_n and_o the_o more_o especial_o if_o you_o make_v use_v of_o our_o curious_a invention_n before_o describe_v for_o that_o by_o it_o these_o benefit_n will_v accrue_v first_o you_o be_v not_o

and_o fasten_v a_o rope_n in_o the_o iron_n hoop_n and_o by_o mean_n of_o a_o poultry_n lift_v your_o matter_n at_o once_o out_o which_o may_v be_v receive_v into_o a_o cowl_n and_o bear_v away_o and_o the_o wash_n let_v out_o the_o common_a way_n and_o if_o your_o matter_n be_v either_o wheat_n or_o barley_n the_o grain_n though_o they_o have_v be_v in_o the_o still_o will_v be_v very_o

we_o shall_v now_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o extraction_n which_o be_v thus_o take_v two_o or_o three_o can_n of_o water_n put_v they_o into_o your_o still_o and_o a_o small_a handful_n of_o

have_v a_o proper_a signature_n with_o the_o vine_n and_o it_o be_v a_o general_a custom_n among_o the_o distiller_n in_o order_n to_o make_v their_o spirit_n hot_a strong_a and_o fiery_a in_o the_o

we_o reject_v it_o though_o a_o thing_n so_o much_o practise_v see_v more_o agreeable_a and_o pleasant_a way_n be_v easy_o to_o be_v find_v now_o we_o shall_v reveal_v one_o thing_n more_o which_o will_v be_v helpful_a to_o the_o distiller_n which_o be_v in_o take_v away_o part_n of_o the_o gross_a sulphur_n from_o whence_o much_o of_o the_o evil_a tangle_n proceed_v and_o it_o be_v thus_o

be_v insorb_v and_o when_o the_o operation_n be_v over_o wash_v clean_o dry_a and_o keep_v it_o for_o the_o like_a service_n have_v thus_o finish_v the_o second_o extraction_n we_o think_v it_o not_o amiss_o to_o show_v what_o quantity_n of_o low-wine_n proof_n good_n and_o fine_a spirit_n may_v be_v extract_v from_o a_o quarter_n of_o malt._n you_o must_v know_v that_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o will_v make_v about_o fifty_o gallon_n or_o something_o more_o than_o three_o barrel_n of_o wash_n which_o in_o the_o first_o extraction_n will_v make_v thirty_o two_o thirty_o four_o or_o thirty_o six_o gallon_n of_o low-wine_n and_o these_o if_o you_o let_v they_o lie_v will_v in_o the_o second_o extraction_n yield_v eleven_o or_o twelve_o gallon_n of_o proof_n spiri●_n nay_o
