shal be required to hold those rockets which you meane to place in each one bu●1 these boxes must haue a false bottom full of holes for to passe euery rod of euery rocket apart and hauing filled let the boxe which by proper name is called a partment be couered with a leafe or two of paper pasted close but to giue fire to the rockets let there be made a hole thorow the partment through it shall passe a little peece of stoupel or cottē wieke and giuing fire to that all the rockets within the partment fly out and in the same manner shall you giue fire to all your fierie lances with a stoupel going from the one to the other and as for your girondells you shall giue fire to them with a match as you desire that they should play and by this meanes all your fire-workes shall begin to play at once except those parts which shall bee reserued without priming to be fiered by the hand as best shall seeme to the artist or enginier and so the industrious shall not faile to accomplish his designes obseruing all the rules prescribed which being at large laid down I will goe forward to the next chapter and there shew how to make a most pretious vnguent for all maner of burnings as well of common fire as of artificiall fire if by hazard anie mischance arise CHAP. XXII A most pretious vnguent for any burning LEt no man wonder if hauing ended this Treatise of fireworkes I take in hand to describe a little part of Chirurgerie whch I confesse to haue taken out of a Treatise written by Thybourel a Chirurgion of Loraine and hauing made experience of this vnguent diuerse times as well for burnings as that for other accidents I may say with boldnes truth that there was neuer the like secret of this kind left to posteritie specially against hurts come by fire and which leaues lesse scarres after the healing of the places wounded and therefore I haue set downe the very words which Thybourel hath written in the last chapter of his 4th booke intituled Recueil de plusieurs machines militaires Take fresh hogges grease or lard as much as you please and boyle it taking off the skim vntill there arise no more skim then set the lard three or foure nights in the ayre abroad after which it must be washed in running water to take away the saltish nature and also to clense it white then melt it and keepe it for your vse Bacon may serue in stead of lard Otherwise The white of an egge or fresh butter being mingled together and well beaten to an oyle are excellent Another sort most excellent Take a stone of vnslacked lime or otherwise called quicke lime and let it dissolue in cleere water and when the water is setled powre it gently out from the lime through a linnen cloth then put as much sallet oyle as you take water together and beating it all to an oyle you shal haue a most excellent vnguent for all kind of burnings neither of these vnguents haue any scarre but are precious remedies for the afflicted We haue seene Impostures couer sores with this water alone but obseruing superstitious ceremonies saying vaine prayers but we assure the posteritie that the water onely is sufficient to heale wounds and s●res onely washing them with it and couering them with a linnen cloath wet in the same water without any superstition it doth modifie and percute by which it doth supply nature and doth heale sores better then our ordinary vnguents Thus may you see how this braue Chirurgion that set forth to the face of the world the perfection of this vnguent which cannot be sufficient-praised confirming by his own confession that the Chirurgions do not vse such good remedies in their shops and ordinarie operations wherfore I haue set downe his owne words that no man may esteeme mee inuenter of Calumnies against the practitioners of Chirurgery nor any others as many now adayes seemes to write with serpents tongues stinging vertue on euery side against whō viperous venoms patience is the only antedote leauing them to sweat vexe and torment themselues in their insatiable rage and to end my discourse touching the perfection of this vnguent I will assure all these who shall haue neede and make vse thereof that they shall find in operation what I haue here set downe in description A Treatise of practicall Geometrie TO satisfie diuers of my friends and yeeld to their desires whose treaties haue bin such powerfull commands to me that I haue beene constrained to lay aside and forsake my own proper will and follow theirs I haue set forth this little Treatise of practicall Geometrie to the view and censure of the world which I acknowledge to be vnworthy of so many singular and industrious wits as yearly spring vp in this Iland and the adiacents thereunto notwithstanding I haue giuen way to their requests for their priuat contentment and to assure the world that I haue nothing no not my owne will proper to my selfe but that I will follow as neere as possible I may the precepts and documents of that ancient wise and diuine Philosopher Plato who saith Non nobis nati sumus sed patriae amicis we are not borne for our selues but for the seruice of our countrey and friends then for the satisfaction of my friends and seruice of those who will accept these my labours I haue cleerely and in few words set downe the manner how anie man who hath neuer so little studied Geometrie may take any distance or heighth depth or breadth with two little stickes yea e●en strawes being laied a crosse also I haue set downe a method how to take any kind of heighth distance or depth with the Sector without anie arithmetike or rule thereof and also by the sines tangents and secants the whole beeing very portable to refresh the memorie to strengthen and augment the knowledge of those who for want of practise haue not the perfect vse of those instruments then first of all I will set downe the manner how to accomodate and dispose the sticks twiggs or strawes for the measuring of any distance The method how to make the Crosse. HAuing two stickes the one long and the other somewhat short as are represented in the figure following by CF and DE then marke vpon the sticke CF points the one distant from the other precisely halfe the length of DE and let there be a hole made through the sticke DE so that it may slide vpon CF from end to end and you shall know the two parts of the crosse by these names the longest part CF shall be called the index and the shortest DE the crosse Now if you haue any heighth to take then fasten to one end of the crosse as to D a perpendicular or plummet and for the more easie and iust operation you should haue a foot to support the crosse the instrument being thus prepared you may measure
