we have not only given you our own Experience but also the Authority of the famous Radolphus Glauber which being so prepared we have likewise shown their various uses in making Cordial-Waters and Spirits In the Third we have shown all the Necessary and Vseful Compositions in the Art according to the greater and lesser Pondus to which we have added many rare ones of our own together with an Usque-bagh-Royal never Published before and also the way of Dulcifying and Perfuming these Wares or Liquors so that they may be the most Commodious for Sail. And in the Fourth we have moreover shown the True and Genuine way of making Powers by three noble Menstruums sc a Purified Sal Armoniack the Volatile Salt of Tartar and Sal Panaristos together with their Vertues Vse and Dose for the Benefit of such as languish under the burthen of Refractory Diseases and can find no Relief from the common Prescriptions for we have through much Expence and Labor by the Providence of God thereunto attained and by more than Ten Years Experience knowing their admirable Vertues to be such as to relieve when past the hopes of other means we thought we could no better befriend the World especially the Ingenious Lovers of Art than freely to communicate their Composition that so they might the better Judge of their Nature and Property and altho we have not attributed so many Vertues thereunto as others have done to more Inferiour Powers yet this hath been on purpose omitted for two Reasons The First because we hate fruitless repetitions or to speak more of the Vertue and Vse of things than we know they will really perform for we would rather that a Medicine should Cure Ten Diseases when we speak but of Five than to speak of Forty when 't will very rarely Cure One and especially in these seing their Administration is general and safe without the least difficulty The other is because we have looked upon it as a grand Error too often Committed by our New Compiler to attribute that to one sleight or common Preparation which can but in due right be ascribed to the highest Specifick or Arcanum nay even to the Universal it self therefore tho we know that ours are farr superior yet were we resolved therein to be very cautious least others should suppose us guilty of the like default Now what we have further to say is that we have great reas●n to bless the Lord our God who of his infinite mercy hath given us Wisdom and Knowledg of the things of Nature not only in their Original Form and Texture but also in their true Preparation and Virtue whereby we are inabled to demonstrate that which we doubt not will uphold our Writings in a greater splendor than now set forth to the dishonor of such as are ambitious of that which really does belong to others but seing ours is no Foster-child but a true birth brought forth by difficult Travel we are bound to defend it from the Karps of such Momus's and the more especially seeing we have daily Confirmations from most parts of the Kingdom of its kind acceptance by and among the Ingenious Laborious and Honest-hearted which lays a further Obligation on us to be yet as serviceable to such as in us lies in the resolution of which we subscribe our selves their sincere Friend in all things agreable to the entire Law of Innocency From the Academia Spagyrica nova in St. Paul's Shadwel Lond.

Corruption so that finding it greatly enquired after and several complaining of the difficulty of obtaining it by reason of my house being distant from the City earnestly requesting that it might be placed more convenient for the ready acquirement of the same I thought fit here to signify that it may for the future be had at Mr. Jo. Taylor 's at the Ship in St. Paul's Church-yard and at Mr. Jo. Baker's at the Wool-pack in the Strand between Dutchy-lane and the Savoy-gate at either of which places you may be furnished therewith at 1 s. the single Bottle and 2s 6d the double Sealed with our Coat of Arms which is in the first Sculpture of this Book as also on the Bill of Directions That you may not be mistaken and buy slops instead thereof For note what really answers is only prepared by me the Original Author Now if you desire to have this Whole-Sale or to be Furnished with any other Medicines specified in our Writings you may apply your selves to me at the Blew-Ball and Star in St. Paul's Shadw●l Lond. or to our Disciple and Operator Tho. Newton Philo-Chymico-Medicus Studens in Doctrinis Spagyricis at the place precited THE Practical Distiller CHAP. I. In which we Treat of the Art of Distillation in general together with the Vtensils thereunto belonging FIRST We think it convenient to define the word Distillation and then to shew the use thereof the word Distillation imports no more than a dropping down by little and little but the use and end thereof is in the first place to Extract the Spirituality from bodies when macerated or open'd by Fermentation so that we may truly say this Art is for changing of gross and thick bodies into a thin and Spiritual Nature by which Action the pure Effluvia are separated from the more terrene Faetid and impure Faeces and that only by the help of heat they being thereby resolved into a Vapour are elevated to the Helm where they are in part condensed by the cold which is fully accomplished as they run out of the Beck into the Worm through the Refrigerating Tub and so become clear and lucid This is the end of Distillation in general but in Particular 't is to be considered in a threefold respect sc Distillation Rectification and Extraction Distillation is a converting of bodies as before defined into Water Oyl and Spirit Rectification is a reiterated Elevoriation by which the before mentioned are separated from their more hidden and internal Impurities and the Spiritual Essential humidity from the more Phlegmatick and Aqueous And Extraction is by the help of some pure Spirit to draw forth that virtue out of bodies which otherwise would not so easily admit of Maceration or of being so overcome as to be brought into Spirituallity Now in bodies very compact this is best performed by Cohobation which is a returning the Liquor upon the body whence Extracted and Distilling it off again which must so often be repeated as till you 've obtained the desired Virtues these being sufficient to accomplish all that is to be expected from a Distiller and indeed to make the Art compleat and the Discourse thereof full seeing we intend not to speak of any thing but what is pertinent thereunto we shall referr those who desire to know the Nature of other Operations to our Chymicus Rationalis where they are fully and amply handled and so passing by the use and Definition of this Art we shall now come to the Practick In which we find that it requires a great many Conveniences as a fit Work-house proper Stills Coppers Backs Instruments and Materials all which to be rightly managed require several hands if any considerable draught of Goods is intended to be made so from hence we may conclude that this Art is not rightly to be carried on without a considerable large Fund but when so managed 't will repay the Owner or Master with considerable Interest which is the reason that many of them get such plentiful Estates at which none ought to grudge seeing 't is got with such just gain and that the Golden Cap is obtained by hard Labour And besides there 's a Proverb in England win Gold and wear it and why therefore may not these enjoy the same seeing nothing is more laborious than this Art when rightly followed and what they thereby obtain we may as it were say is got out of the Fire but before we proceed particularly to give every one the Knowledge of these Profits we shall speak of the necessaries whereby we are inabled to go to work otherwise without them we may be sure there 'll be none at all First As to the Work-house we best esteem it when something spacious at least 16 18 or 20 Foot in breadth and 24 26 28 or 30 in length especially where you design to work considerable quantities The manner of Erecting the Carcase with the proportionable height and way of covering it we shall leave to the Ingenuity of the Work-man to whom it belongs and give you our opinion of the accomplishment of what is required in it Thus at the utmost end we advise that a Copper be set up after the manner of the Brewers except you design to prepare your Liquor in your large Still which will be somewhat troublesome and indeed a great hinderance to business if you intend to work it off twice a day as usually is done Now by your Copper you must have your Mashing Tub to mash in and under that large Receivers and over upon the Rafters you may have a Cooler and again under the Coolers large Backs one for the stronger Wort the other for the smaller and so order'd as that it may run into either now from these large Backs you must convey Leaden Pipes unto Receiving Backs for Stores and from your store ones to the Wash-backs which ought always to be placed opposite to your great Stills for the more ready filling of them now this conveyance is very convenient from Back to Back for by this means you may always be supplied with Wash and especially if you command it by the turning of a Cock otherwise you must make use of a strong Cork with a string above it that so you may pluck it out when you please Now these Backs as they are set into the Earth must be well daubed about with temper'd Clay or put in a thin Bed thereof for this is said to preserve them tight and warm these must have Cove●● above with a Leaf to fold up upon occasion an● upon a defect of Backs you may make use o● large Oyl Fatts so order'd you must have a Bra●● or Wooden Pump to put into the Backs and so wit● a Spout fastned with a Broom therein to keep th● Wash from running over and the other end a● the Still you would fill you may at any tim● easily perform it your Spout being movable fro● Still to Still In hanging your Stills you must observe to place them
