All hony hardened, keeps the lame solid.ty,diverse from wa-ter and other liquid* .for all other liquid things once compacted*dry, and are dtcenuated, but hony doth nor.

That hony works as wine in the comb until! the twentiethday (asserted by some) is a fable, and that the cover that stops itup is the faces from the working, which they that maintain theformer deliver, is as ridiculous*, make trial, and yon shall fiode itwax as the comber.

Some combes in plentiful years,are shut up the first day.

Hony in the comb is all pure, but after it is expressed, somefeculent and dreggy matter,partly from the combes, partly fromthe B:e-btead and spat, somewhat corrupts the purity, allwhich it purgtth up to the top, contrary to all other liquidswhere the sediment is at the bottome.

The heathens used hony in their sacrifices, especially the s taC k;m Sic'.•/ftbeHiant, and that co several of their Deities, and yet Pi*- saenGc.descn'p,unb propounds a question why they did not use it. But it is Pi m. quest j.
