when you would use the same bore it through with a B●…dkin and fill the holes full of fine powder bruised To make Bullets of wilde-fire to shoote out of a Trunke which will be as hard as a stone TAke Sulphure in meale sixe part of Rosen in meale sixe parts melting the same in some pot over a slow fire then take stone pitch one part of hard waxe one part of Tarre ¼ part of Aqua vitae ½ part of Linseed oyle ½ part of Verdigrease ¼ part of Campheire ⅛ part melting all these together Likewise stirre into the same of Peter in meale two parts and taking it from the fire put therein foure parts of bruised powder working the same well together in your hands and rowle it round of the bignesse you meane to make your balls of boring two holes through the same crosse-wayes which must be primed with bruised powder These balls being cold will grow very hard and fired will burne furiously To make Hedge-hogges TO make Hedge-hogges or Balles you must fill them with the same receipts you doe your Arrowes and Pikes and let them be five inches in the diameter and well armed with twine before you coat them and after bored two holes and primed with fine powder then put in two sticks and using them pull them out againe and at the said holes fire them The spikes ends of Iron must bee like Deaths arrow heads five or sixe stirts a peece to hang in the sayles or stick in or upon any place assigned and remember in the arming to leave a noose to throw him being fired out of your hand To make Powder pots THey are made of blacke Potters clay or thick glasse round Bottles with eares to tye matches lighted at both ends the pots or glasses are to be filled with drye fine powder and thrown upon the decks or other where which will much prejudice the enemy and many times fire their owne powder-chests To make Powder-chests THey are to be made first of three boords two to be nayl●…d together like the ridging of a house and one longer and broader to the bottome thereof betwene which three boords put your Cartredge then make it up like a Sea-chest and fill it with stones nayles and what such like you will then naile the cover on and the ends to the decks in such a place that you may fire the powder underneath through a hole made to put a Pistoll in To make Roche-Sulphure ROche-Sulphure is made one pound of Sulphure molten on a slow fire and one quarter of a pound of mealed powder put thereto by little and little and in the cooling put three ounces of Corne-powder mixing them well together to which put one pound of molten suet so have you made good Roche-Sulphure A true receite of a Composition that will burne and feed upon the Water TAke Masticke halfe a pound white Frankin sence Gumme Sandrake Quicklime Brimstone Bitumen Camphire and of the best and dryest Gun-powder of each of these one pound and a halfe Rozin one pound Salt-peter foure pounds and a halfe mixe them all together and you have your desire A Receite of a Composition that will burne under water TAke Brimstone one pound Gun-powder ten Ounces of the best Salt-peter you can get one pound and a halfe Camphire beaten with Sulphur and Quicksilver mixe them well together with oyle of Peter or for want of it let it be Linseed oyle boyled unill it will scald a Feather fill a Canvas ball with this Composition arme it and ballast it with Lead at the bottome make a little vent at the top fire it well and cast it into the water and you shall finde the experience worth your labour A Receite of a Composition that will kindle with the water TAke of Oyle of Tyle one pound Linseed-oyle three pounds oyle of yelke of Egges one pound new quick-lime eight pounds Brimstone two pounds Camphire foure ounces Bitumen two Ounces mingle all together very well and you shall have your desire How to know the iust time or houre that any quantity of a lighted Match shall doe execution at the time desired TAke our ordinary Match which is used for the Musket rub or beate it against a post to soften it then either dip the same in the water of our ordinary Salt-peter then dry it very well either by the fire or in the Sun according as your haste requires or else beate a little Brimstone very small and put a little fine Gunne-powder amongst it and rub the Match with them being made liquid with a little Aqua vitae and dryed as before said then try first how long one yard of this Match thus prepared will burne which imagine to be about a quarter of an houre and if one yard will burne so long then foure yards will be just an houre Take therefore as much of this Match as will burne so long as you will have it to be ere your worke should fire binde the one end unto your worke lay loose powder well dryed under and about it lay the rest of the Match in hollow or turning so that one part of it touch not another and fire it For Fire-pikes 4 pound a peece for one dozen Powder 20 pound Peter-roch 5 pound Peter-meale 5 pound Sulphur 3 pound Rozen 2 pound ½ Turpentine 1 pound Linseed oyle 1

to the powder especially being done in time I doe advise all his Majesties Gunners of the Navie to take an especiall heed and diligent care in the election and choosing of the Yeoman of the powder-roome by reason he is upon all occasions to be amongst the amunition for by his negligence or dishonesty infinite losse and danger may accrew therefore it is fit such a man should be first knowne to be a loyall subject and one that would performe the office with both care and diligence before he be admitted the charge thereof The names of the principall members of a peece of Ordnance FIrst the uppermost part round about the peece may be called the Superficies of her metall the substance or whole masse of mettall the Body the hollownesse thereof the Concave Cillinder or Soule the whole length the Chase So much of her Bore as containeth her powder and shot is the Chamber or charged Cillinder the remainder her vacant Cillinder the Spindals or Eares are called her Trunnions and the space between them the gravity of her Center the pumell at her coyle the Casacabell or her Decke the little hole the Touch-hole all the metall behind the touch-hole her breech or Coyle the greatest Ring at her touch-hole her Base Ring the next Ring or Circle is the reinforst Ring the next to that the Trunnion ring and the circle foremost her Muzzle Ring Lastly the Ring betweene the Trunons and Muzzle ring is called the Cornish ring and all the Rings Circles and emenencies at her Muzzle are called the Frieze as you may see in the figure just against this matter What instruments

of the spunge then his assistant declining the Budge-barrell aside hee shall thrust ●…n the Ladle to fill it striking off the heaped powdes and giving a little shogge the better to settle the rest in in the Ladle so being filled and striked stand by the right side of the Peece as cleare as hee can from the muzzle and put in the Ladle to the bottome of the concave very steddy quite home to the touch-hole and when it is arived to the bottome of the bore laying your right thumbe upon the upper part of the Ladle-staffe turn●… the staffe untill your thumbe be quite under it and give a shake or

powder first wadde bullet or las●… wadde This done place your Budge-barrell againe to wind-wards and be sure to weather your Peece in the fiering to prevent all danger Lastly have speciall care in directing her to the marke and in priming her let the powder come from the Touch-hole to the base ring so may you fire there safely without danger of the fire of the Touch-hole to force your Lintstocke out of your hand provided you draw backe your hand in the fiering your leg standing forwards and so doing the Peece will be loaden and fier'd Gunner like Some use to prime before the Touch-hole forwards two or three inches and fire there for the bigger the Touch-hole is the more care must bee taken in priming and especially in fiering What powder is allowed for proofe and what for
