the_o earth_n i_o have_v labour_v a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o art_n of_o glass_n and_o therein_o see_v many_o thing_n i_o be_v move_v to_o make_v know_v to_o the_o world_n a_o part_n of_o that_o which_o i_o have_v see_v and_o wrought_v therein_o and_o although_o the_o manner_n of_o make_v salt_n lees_n and_o frittae_n be_v know_v to_o many_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o this_o matter_n require_v to_o be_v handle_v as_o i_o do_v clear_o and_o distinct_o with_o some_o observation_n and_o diligence_n which_o if_o well_o consider_v will_v not_o be_v judge_v altogether_o unprofitable_a but_o perhaps_o necessary_a and_o know_v to_o few_o beside_o in_o my_o particular_a way_n of_o extract_a salt_n to_o make_v a_o most_o noble_a crystal_n that_o if_o the_o workman_n shall_v be_v diligent_a in_o make_v it_o as_o i_o do_v publish_v and_o teach_v it_o with_o clear_a demonstration_n he_o shall_v do_v a_o thing_n as_o beautiful_a and_o noble_a as_o happy_o be_v make_v in_o these_o day_n or_o can_v be_v do_v any_o other_o way_n and_o in_o this_o thing_n and_o in_o every_o other_o matter_n that_o i_o treat_v of_o in_o this_o present_a work_n the_o diligent_a and_o curious_a operator_n shall_v find_v that_o i_o have_v write_v and_o show_v truth_n not_o tell_v i_o or_o persuade_v i_o by_o any_o person_n whatsoever_o but_o wrought_v and_o experiment_v many_o time_n with_o my_o own_o hand_n i_o have_v always_o have_v this_o aim_n to_o write_v and_o speak_v the_o truth_n and_o if_o any_o one_o try_v my_o receipt_n and_o manner_n of_o make_v colour_n paste_n and_o tincture_n do_v not_o speed_n to_o do_v so_o much_o as_o i_o write_v thereof_o let_v he_o not_o be_v amaze_v thereat_o nor_o believe_v that_o i_o have_v write_v untruth_n but_o let_v he_o think_v that_o he_o have_v err_v in_o something_o and_o especial_o they_o which_o have_v never_o handle_v such_o thing_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o at_o the_o first_o time_n shall_v be_v master_n therefore_o let_v they_o repeat_v the_o work_n which_o they_o shall_v always_o make_v better_o and_o at_o the_o last_o perfect_a as_o i_o describe_v it_o i_o warn_v they_o in_o particular_a to_o have_v consideration_n in_o colour_n who_o certain_a and_o determinate_a dose_n can_v be_v give_v but_o with_o experience_n and_o practice_n one_o must_v learn_v and_o with_o eye_n and_o judgement_n know_v when_o glass_n be_v sufficient_o colour_v conformable_a to_o the_o work_n for_o which_o it_o ought_v to_o serve_v and_o in_o paste_n make_v in_o imitation_n of_o jewel_n conformable_a to_o the_o size_n whereof_o they_o will_v make_v they_o observe_v that_o those_o which_o be_v to_o be_v set_v in_o gold_n with_o foyl_n as_o in_o ring_n or_o other_o where_o must_v always_o be_v clear_a and_o of_o a_o light_a colour_n but_o those_o that_o be_v set_v in_o gold_n to_o stand_v hang_v in_o the_o air_n as_o pendant_n and_o the_o like_a must_v be_v of_o a_o deep_a colour_n all_o which_o thing_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o teach_v but_o all_o be_v leave_v to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o curious_a operator_n observe_v likewise_o and_o with_o diligence_n that_o the_o material_n and_o colour_n be_v well_o prepare_v and_o well_o ground_n and_o that_o he_o who_o will_v make_v a_o exquisite_a work_n may_v be_v the_o secure_a let_v he_o prepare_v &_o make_v all_o the_o colour_n himself_o as_o i_o teach_v for_o so_o he_o shall_v be_v sure_a that_o his_o work_n must_v happy_o succeed_v the_o fire_n in_o this_o art_n be_v of_o notable_a importance_n as_o that_o which_o make_v every_o thing_n perfect_a and_o without_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v wherefore_o consideration_n be_v to_o be_v have_v in_o make_v it_o in_o proportion_n and_o particular_o with_o hard_a and_o dry-wood_n take_v heed_n of_o its_o smoke_n which_o always_o hurt_v and_o endamage_v it_o especial_o in_o furnace_n where_o the_o vessel_n and_o pot_n stand_v open_a and_o the_o glass_n will_v then_o receive_v imperfection_n and_o notable_a foulness_n moreover_o i_o say_v that_o if_o the_o operator_n shall_v be_v diligent_a and_o shall_v do_v like_o a_o diligent_a and_o practise_a person_n and_o shall_v work_v punctual_o as_o i_o have_v set_v down_o he_o shall_v find_v truth_n in_o the_o present_a work_n and_o that_o i_o have_v only_o publish_v and_o set_v out_o to_o the_o world_n as_o much_o as_o i_o have_v try_v and_o experiment_a and_o if_o i_o find_v my_o pain_n acceptable_a to_o the_o world_n as_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v be_v encourage_v perhaps_o to_o publish_v my_o other_o labour_n wrought_v for_o many_o year_n in_o divers_a part_n of_o the_o world_n in_o the_o chemical_a and_o spagyrical_a art_n than_o which_o i_o think_v there_o be_v no_o great_a thing_n in_o nature_n for_o man_n service_n know_v and_o perfect_a in_o ancient_a time_n which_o make_v man_n expert_a in_o it_o to_o be_v hold_v for_o god_n which_o then_o be_v hold_v and_o repute_v for_o such_o i_o will_v not_o enlarge_v myself_o any_o far_a because_o i_o have_v in_o the_o work_n set_v down_o every_o particular_a so_o clear_a and_o distinct_a i_o rest_v secure_a that_o he_o which_o will_v not_o err_v wilful_o it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v do_v so_o have_v thereof_o once_o make_v experience_n and_o practice_n therefore_o let_v all_o be_v take_v of_o i_o in_o
