working in this our Art and have been so opinionated of their owne hereditary erroneous wayes that they have esteemed the manner and order here taught to bee altogether unnecessary and improvident in that there is here required Redistillation which they have ever thought to bee superfluous Not considering that what they save by their seeming thrift they lose double in the excellency of their wares and otherwise Wherfore that such may not only acquit themselves of an aspersion of ignorance not undeservedly cast upon them but also vindicate both their owne and the Companyes reputation for time to come The Directions following are henceforth by them and every member of the Company and their successours duly and exactly to bee observed and practized from time to time for ever hereafter THat all wines Lees of wines Low-wines and Spirits under proofe whatsoever intended for making of rich or high Spirits Strong-waters or Aquavitae c.
