And all that was dissolved was poured off while it was very warm in a cold glass and forthwith it did thicken and there most of the )) did settle to the bottom, then pouring on IOZ and a Y, of water upon it was left, and it being dissolved poured it to the rest, and then was there poured 150Z of faint aquafortis thereon which was too strong, and therefore there was about 6 gallons of rain water poured thereon which would not strike it down until there was put thereon strawberry water of the sea which did presently strike it down but I suppose that 3 gallons of rain water, with a little strawberry water of the sea, would have served and if that the faint aquafortis had not been put in which was with the strongest and it did lengthen the time &c. The 31 day the water being poured off by instillation it was set for to dry, and when it was dry, &c.
