The uie is il i;: Fill the Glass with Flowers crother things ; put in !ome wire Luce-stringsaster them , that they sniy not fall cut againwhen the Glass isinv.rfed. Thru!! the neckthoro w the Brals-Pipe : scr the Vessel on theFurnace, and fill it with Water round aboutthe arising Pipe: put on the Cover,and plaisteric about: set the Receiver under the Furnacethat it may catch the dropping Water and Oyl:then kindle the fire about the sides of the Per,the violence of which , will elevate vapors ofburning water; which,beating against the con-cave part of theCover,will be reverberate uponthe bottom of the Gonrd-Glass,whose ferventheat, will turn the Water and Oyl into vapor,and drive it down into the Receiver. 1 willset dowil some examples of those things which I made trial of my self. As,

Htw to extract Oylont os 'Rosemary-Flowers.

Fill the Retorts with the Leaves and Flowers of Rosmary, and set them in the Brass-Furnace: the fire being kindled will force out first a Water, and afterward a yellowOyl, of a very strong and fervent odor ; a few drops of which, I have made use ofin great sicknesses, and driving away cruel pains. You may extract it easier, if yonmacerate the Flowers or Leaves in their own, or Founuin-water, for a week. Inthe fame manner

O I of Citrons ill

is extracted. When Citrons are ccme to perfect ripeness, Olive rff the pealwith a gross Steal-File: put the Filings into a Pot,and set them to macerate ten daysin du i7,being close stoat uprthen accomodate them to the Furnace,and kindle fir<;;anOvl mixt with water distils out,os a most pleasant sent. The same may be done withOrange and Lemmon-pea). In places where Flowers and Fruits are not to be had,they cut off the tops of the Branches and Tindrils, and slice them into four-ineb-pieces, and so distil'them.

Oyl of TRofcS) And Citron-Flowers

is drawn after the fame sort ; a most excellent Oyl,and of an admirable favour. Butbecaule the Oyl is very hardly distinguished from the Water, pour the Water into along Glass with a narrow neck,and expose it to the Sun being close slope: the Oylwill by little and little, ascend to the top, which you must gather off with a Featheror pour out by inclining the Glass.

Sweet Oyl tf Betjamtti

Is to be made, by putting Benjamin into a Glafs-Retorr,and fitting it to the Furnace tthen cnctease the fire without any fear of combustion, and you will obtain a fragrantOyl) to be used in precious Oyntmcnts. So Oyl of Storax, Calamite, and Labdanum,and other Gums. So also,

Oyl of Amber , and Civet

cannot be ex racted more comodiousty by any Instrument, Aft,or Labour, then bythe aforesaid ; for they are of so thin a substance, that they can hardly endure anythe least heat, without contracting a scurvy base stink os burning; yet by this Artifice,it may be drawn out very safely. I sec nothing to the contrary , but that we mayextract Oyl out of Spices also, very securely by the fame Artifice.
