N. B. Such a sowre spirit or oyl may also be got by distillation
together with the flores, _viz._ thus: If you take pieces of sulphur
as big as hens eggs, and cast them one after another into the hot
distilling vessel, a sowre oyl together with flores, will come over
into the receiver, which must with water be separated out of the
flores, and the water abstracted from it again in a cucurbit, and in
the bottome of your glass body you will find the oyl, which in vertue
and taste is equal to the former, but you get nothing near so much in
quantity by this way, and if you do not look for the oyl, you may leave
it with the flores, which by reason of their pleasant acid taste are
much toothsomer to take than the ordinary ones.
To the Courteous Reader.
_Thus I conclude this second part; I could have set down more medicinal
processes in this Treatise: but having as many as will be a sufficient
guide for the distilling of other things also, I thought it good here
to acquiesce; and whatsoever hath been here omitted, shall be supplyed
in the following parts._
