An Essay towards the Discovery of the Original of Fountains 160 CHAP. I. Of Drinks in General IN the first Part of this Treatise I have given an account of such Subjects or Materials out of which Drinks or Liquors are extracted or prepared As of the Sap of several sorts of Trees therein mentioned and particularly of the Birch Tree the Sap whereof hath been in great esteem not only for its Pleasantness but its singular medicinal Vertues It hath been also Sap of Trees observed that the Sap of the Sicamor is a very clear and sweet Liquor And that several other Trees yield plenty of Sap which far exceeds common Water either for the making of Mead or Ale. The Vine if planted for no other use would certainly by cutting the Branches in the Spring yield a great quantity of delicate Liquor The Saps of the Elder Elm Oak c. are well esteem'd for their Medicinal Vertues The Walnut Tree and the Bramble yield plenty of Liquor by cutting which doubtless are not without their Specific Virtues Of late it hath been proved that Juices of Fruits and Berries Quinces yield a delicate Wine surpassing most Drinks Peaches also and Apricocks by some are made to yield pleasant Wines Of the Whortle-Berries that grow on the smallest of Shrubs is made a very fine and pleasant Drink Some have pressed a Juice out of Of Roots contused Carrots and found the same to be a pleasant sweet Liquor but this hath need of some farther enquiry into and experiment to be made of it CHAP. II. That the Juices of Fruits are the best of Drinks and Vniversally Celebrated SOme and but a small part of the known World please themselves with the excellency of Drinks made by the Tincture of fermented Grain But the most part and those we conclude to be the wisest and most ingenious extract the long digested and pure Liquor from Fruits proper and natural to the Countries they Live in esteeming it to conduce more to Health Pleasure and long Life than other Drinks A learned Author of late in his praise of Wine attributeth these virtues or The excellency of Wine qualities to it viz. That it nourisheth more than any other Aliment That it corroborateth human Strength That it openeth Obstructions and comforts and exhilerateth the Spirits That the use of it in all tempers is most Natural Aliment and in all Distempers as proper Medicament The nature and excellency of this Nectar was so high in the Opinion of Noah that he made it his first Art of Husbandry after the Deluge to plant a Vineyard The vertue and moderate use of the Juice whereof may be supposed to be the cause why his Age extended twenty years above the Age of Adam and three hundred and fifty years after the Plantation of his Vineyard Drinks extracted out of Grain and other compounded Drinks being then not in use nor hath the use of them since their Invention rendred their Drinks so Healthy and Long-lived as the Spirituous Juices of several Fruits especially of the Vine and the Apple-Tree But because these Wines that are endowed with these Vertues must be imported from the places of their native growth and do suffer so sensible a deprivation of their excellency in all respects that they may be compared to the Drugs transported from Cochin-China to Italy by Barri the Jesuit which as he relateth were so altered in their Transportation that without a special Script upon them he could not have known them to be the same either in Vertue or Colour And certainly these Liquors must much more suffer than those more solid Materials The frequent Fermentations Boilings Frettings c. of these in their being moved and tumbled from place to place and through divers Climates subjected to the variety of Airs causing an expence of their more spiritual and better parts and a precipitation of their more solid and delicious which are the most nutritive so that in effect we have but the Phlegmatic Part deprived of its principal Vertues And that part too oftentimes corrupted with the Coopers or Vintners Art to make it pallatable and durable that it becomes ungrateful to Nature and injurious to Health and long Life which evidently confirms our next Position CHAP. III. That Cider and other Juices of our English Fruits are the best Drinks for this Country THat Cider hath been of ancient Use in this Kingdom and that The Antiquity of Cider the name of Wine was attributed to it I have lately met with a farther Confirmation in a small Tract entituled Fragmenta Antiquitatis being Ancient Tenures of Land published by T. B. of the Inner-Temple Esquire Anno 1679. Wherein there is an account of the Mannor of Runham in the County of Norfolk that the Tenant held the same of the King in Capite by the Service of two Mues of Wine made of Permains to be paid into the Exchequer yearly at Michaelmas This Service was reserved in King Edward the firsts time about four hundred years past whence may be noted That the Permain is an ancient English Apple and that it always was esteemed one of the best of Apples and yielded one of the most delicious of Ciders And its probable that as foreign Wines became here more in use that Husbandry of propagating Rermains decayed the Trees being slow of Growth and small Bearers which might probably be the cause why this Wine was reserved to the Kings use more than that of any other Fruit it being more rare and delicious Cider made of Mature-Fruit regularly The excellency of Cider extracted and naturally prepared detaineth its corroborating and exhilerating Spirits and its nutrimental Sweetness that its Vertues far exceed those of the transported Wines and may almost compare with many of those Wines in their proper Countries Of this matter we have said enough in the first Part of the Treatise of this Subject and shall therefore hasten to the true and regular way of preparing this most inestimable Drink from the Soil to the Fruit and thence to the Liquor in the Glass fit for the most Curious Palate together with the several other Drinks that are most desirable by the ingenious Enquirers into these things CHAP. IV. Of the best and most expeditious ways
