15. _To prepare a burning Spirit of all sorts of Bread-Corn in
abundance, with great ease and profit, very much like that which is
made of the Dreggs of Wine, and sustaining all Trials: There are
already eight pounds of it in trial, whether they will bear a Voyage by
Sea, or not; they are sent beyond Sea, which if they will undergo; Two
hundred R. Dollers._
NB. _Further, I knew how to reduce all burning Spirits into one form;
as, the Spirit of =Juniper=, or Bread-Corn, like to Brandy, or to make
spirit of Wine like spirit of Bread-Corn or =Juniper=, so that it shall
not be discerned of what subject ’tis made._
_Neither do I doubt, but that I know also how it comes to pass, that
some Liquors carry’d beyond Sea, are corrupted: Which therefore, if by
the benefit of this trial, the Certainty is made known to me, a good
reason, and after what manner it may be help’d, may be learn’d of me
for a trifle._
16. _To encrease the strength of all sorts of Beer, that they shall
have equal Virtue with =Rhenish=-Wine, and yet the Beer lose nothing
of its relish, but be both more pleasant and durable; for when thus
order’d, it will not so soon sowre; but if it be decay’d, which will
happen to Wine in time, the Vinegar which will arise from it, will be
as good as Wine Vinegar: fifty R. Dollers._
17. _To give sowre Beer its natural sweetness, and in fourteen days to
make it sell for fresh; and so, though turn’d three or four times, to
make it sweet in fourteen daies time without fail._
18. _To produce Vinegar of Bread-Corn, and such other things, very like
Wine-Vinegar in all things without fail; fifty R. Dollers._
19. _To prepare Vinegar of green woods, an Hundred measures daily,
together with Oil of Wood, without Charge; but if any man will have
this like other Vinegar, it requires rectifying, which will ask some
time and cost: Ten R. Dollers._
20. _Although =Glauber= delivered in a little Tract, a way to make
Tartar of the burnt Lees of Wine, yet I have alwaies committed many
Errours, by following his very Oral instructions, till bethinking my
self, I at last made it with fruit, and plainly reduced it to Crystals._
