Several Arts how to draw 0)1 out of other things.

T Hc Nature os things being diverse, do require divers ways of distilling Oylout of them: for some being uiged by fire, are inblimed, and will not dissolveinto Liquor; others cannot endure t tie fire, but are presently burned. From whichvariety of tempers, there must arise also a variety in the manner of Extraction. Iwill set down some examples of these,that ingenious Artists may not despair to drawOyls out or any thing whatever.

Ofl out of Honey

~u hard enongh to be extracted : for it swells up with the least hear, and riseth inbubbles ; so that it will climbe up thorow the neck os the Retort, though it benever io long, into the Head, and fall down into the Receiver before it can be dis-solved into Liquor or Oyl. There are divers remedies found out to help this:Take a Glass with ashore wide ne.k, put your Honey into it, and stop it in with Flaxquite over-laidtwo fingers thick. This will repress the Honey when it fwellethand froaths, and make it sink down again. Clear Water will drop out at first : batwhen it beginneth to be coloured, take away the Receiver, and set another in theplace; so keep the Waters severally. Or.put Henry into any Vessel,so that it mayfill it up four large fingers above t! e bottom-, and cover it close, as the manner istthen dig a hole in the ground , and set the Vessel in , as far as the Honey ariseth:then lute it, and pltister it about four fingers above the Ground, and drie it well;kindle your Ccal rcund about it; then will the Honey grow hot, and by degreesstick to the Pot: but becau e the heat is above ir,it cannot swell up,but very easily di**stilleth Water and Oyl; fust, yellow, next reddisti,until the Honey be turned into avery Coal. There is another way, which may be performed by any Wcmin: Pontthe Honey into a new Pipkin, and cover it; dig a hole, and bury it abroad about tcubit under Ground ; there let it putrifie for ten days i then take it up, and therewill swim on the top of the Honey a Chrvstai Liquor, which you must strain our,andstop the Pipkin again, and bury it as before. Abouc a week after, view it again, andstrain out the over-flowing water ; so the third and fourth time, until all the Honeybe converted into water , which you may see by uncovering the Pipkin : distil theWater according to Art, and it will yield Water and Oyl easily enough.

Oyl of Camp hire.

Bett Champhire very small, and put it into common Atfuafortu , made of Salt-peter, and Coppress distilled and clarified : set the Pot in a Barh or Stove for half aday, and you will fee a deer bright Oyl swim on the top of the Water. : incline thePot gently, and pour it off, and clarifie it in a Retort; so shall you have » beaut ifid,thin and sweet Oyl.

Ojl of Paper and %agt,

Rowl up your Paper like a Pyraflnide, as GroCers do, When they lap up any thing tol*y by, or send abroad : clip t he edges even ; and taking hold of the top of it with ftpaitof Pincers; set it on fire with a Candle; and while it stun ethmoid it downwardbver a broad dtsti half a ftages distant from the bottom , so that the ftnoak may hard-ly site' ut i and still as the fire consumes the Paper, let your hand sink, that may al*Ways keep the ftme distance fremihe Dish. When it is qoiift burnt» you will find*a yellow Oyl, stinking of burning,upon the bottom of the dish. Gather it up, andreserve it: it is excellent to drive away freckles and pimples in womens faces, beingapplied. Almost in the same manner

Lay your Wheat plain upon a Marble-Mbr ter, being turned with the bottom
