More pleasant and agreeable to the English constitution than those of France. With the way of making brandy and other spirits: as likewise how to make artificial clarets, rhenish, &c. The second edition. To which is added, the foundation of the art of distillation: or the true and genuine way of making malt into low-wines, proof-spirits, and brandy-wines, compliant to the late act of Parliament concerning distillation.

that_o intemperance_n have_v be_v as_o a_o procatarctick_a cause_n of_o many_o disease_n stain_v the_o spirit_n corrupt_v the_o humour_n and_o many_o time_n the_o principal_a vessel_n cause_v

the_o body_n be_v salt_n the_o form_n sulphur_n or_o oil_n which_o be_v discernable_o different_a in_o taste_n and_o smell_n one_o from_o another_o which_o whilst_o the_o texture_n remain_v have_v
