CHAPTER
I.
How
to
make
all
sorts
of
moulds
,
in
a
true
proportion
,
with
the
Rowlers
and
Drifts
.
THat
I
may
set
downe
the
true
proceeding
in
Fireworkes
,
it
is
requisite
in
the
first
place
to
lay
downe
the
true
order
and
forme
of
making
all
sorts
of
moulds
,
aswell
greater
as
lesse
:
and
to
proceed
,
you
must
get
of
the
best
drie
Box
you
can
finde
;
if
not
,
of
some
other
tough
wood
,
as
Crabbe-tree
,
Holly
,
or
such
like
wood
,
which
when
you
have
provided
according
to
your
size
you
meane
to
use
,
it
behoveth
in
the
next
place
to
be
known
,
of
what
diameter
you
will
have
the
heighth
of
your
bore
,
and
from
thence
all
the
rest
is
derived
:
For
example
,
I
desire
to
have
one
bored
of
an
inch
high
,
which
I
get
bored
by
some
Turner
;
and
to
know
of
what
length
it
must
be
,
I
take
for
the
sayd
length
six
diameters
of
the
bore
,
which
maketh
six
inches
,
and
for
the
thicknesse
it
ought
to
be
halfe
a
diameter
on
each
side
,
so
that
being
turned
true
round
,
it
contaynes
two
inches
in
diameter
.
Then
have
you
to
provide
a
bottome
,
which
is
to
be
fitted
in
such
sort
as
you
see
described
in
this
figure
:
the
proportions
heerafter
follow
.
-
A
is
the
foot
of
the
mould
,
and
is
in
heighth
two
diameters
,
which
must
bee
two
inches
;
and
one
diameter
and
¼
in
breadth
,
whether
it
bee
square
or
round
.
-
B
serveth
only
for
a
stay
,
and
must
arise
one
inch
into
the
mould
,
which
is
one
diameter
,
and
so
proportionall
in
all
other
sorts
.
-
C
is
for
the
mouth
of
the
rocket
,
and
is
in
diameter
⅔
of
the
bore
;
so
setting
one
foot
of
the
compasses
in
the
center
,
describe
the
arch
,
which
is
the
full
heighth
required
.
-

diagram of a mold, roller, and drift used for fireworks
-
E
E
serveth
for
the
paper
being
rowled
,
and
is
⅙
part
of
the
diameter
on
each
side
:
-
F
F
is
the
thicknesse
of
the
mould
,
which
is
halfe
the
diameter
of
the
bore
,
that
is
in
this
place
halfe
an
inch
.
-
F
G
the
length
of
the
mould
,
which
is
six
diameters
.
-
D
the
length
and
bignesse
of
the
needle
,
which
is
⅔
the
length
of
the
mould
,
and
bignesse
to
be
⅙
of
the
diameter
of
the
bore
at
the
bottom
,
and
sow
taper
to
the
top
.
When
you
have
provided
your
mould
according
to
your
desire
,
then
you
are
to
fit
your
rowler
,
which
must
be
two
third
parts
of
the
diameter
of
the
bore
of
the
sayd
mould
,
and
the
length
thereof
to
bee
six
inches
longer
than
your
mould
,
which
is
for
the
roling
of
your
paper
,
and
is
described
by
the
letter
A
in
this
second
figure
,
with
a
hole
to
be
bored
in
the
bottom
to
receive
a
wyer
,
which
must
bee
fastned
in
another
peece
of
wood
somewhat
shorter
,
which
is
to
take
out
at
pleasure
,
as
you
may
see
described
by
the
letter
D
:
there
is
required
no
proportion
of
length
for
this
short
peece
;
only
it
sufficeth
if
it
be
but
so
long
as
a
man
may
well
hold
it
in
his
hand
;
the
use
hereafter
shall
be
more
plainly
described
when
I
come
to
speake
of
the
order
of
making
the
coffins
;
which
shall
be
in
the
next
Chapter
.
When
you
have
fitted
your
rocket
according
to
this
direction
,
proceed
to
the
making
of
your
rammers
,
(
or
more
properly
called
drifts
)
which
must
bee
alwayes
two
at
the
least
to
,
each
mould
,
and
as
your
mould
increases
in
largenesse
,
so
must
you
have
more
rammers
,
by
reason
of
the
largenesse
of
the
taper
needle
:
the
manner
and
form
you
may
see
described
by
the
letters
B
C.
-
B
is
the
hollow
rammer
,
and
hath
a
hole
in
it
answerable
to
the
length
and
bignesse
of
the
taper
needle
,
as
appeareth
in
that
figure
.
It
must
be
a
small
matter
lesse
than
the
rowler
,
because
that
otherwise
in
putting
it
in
,
you
will
put
down
the
paper
,
which
is
very
prejudiciall
to
your
rocket
.
-
The
other
rammer
is
not
halfe
so
long
,
and
is
sad
,
that
when
you
have
beaten
to
the
top
of
the
needle
,
you
make
use
of
it
:
it
is
described
by
the
letter
C.
When
you
have
fitted
your
rammers
,
you
must
provide
a
peece
of
Box
made
after
the
form
as
you
see
described
;
which
must
serve
to
make
your
large
coffins
to
put
the
work
which
you
intend
,
on
the
head
of
your
rockets
.
It
is
described
by
the
letter
F
,
as
in
the
figure
is
manifest
.
-
The
letters
E
E
shew
the
diameter
,
which
is
the
just
bignesse
of
your
rocket
,
and
must
be
so
in
all
sizes
.
-

shewes

in

.

,
which
ought
to
bee

which
in
this
place
is
two
inches
;
but
we
are
not
tied
to
that
so
precisely
;
for
we
are
to
alter
that
according
to
the
works
which
we
put
therein
.
CHAP.

How
to
make
your
coffins
of
paper
.
NOW
having
explained
the
manner
and
forme
of
the
moulds
,
with
the
rest
of
the
dependants
,
I
come
now
to
shew
the
use
of
them
in
their
severall
orders
:
and
first
for
the
use
of
the
rowler
,
which
is
described
by
the
letter
A.
You
must
provide
some
good
strong
paper
,
as
old
Law
books
,
which
are
both
strong
and
large
;
and
cut
out
your
sizes
of
paper
for
your
work
:
now
to
know
what
length
your
paper
must
bee
,
let
it
bee
alwayes
the
length
of
your
mould
:
so
shall
you
have
one
diameter
left
above
the
mould
,
the
use
whereof
shall
be
shewn
in
his
proper
place
.
Now
having
provided
your
paper
in
length
ready
,
take
your
rowler
,
and
one
length
of
paper
,
and
begin
to
rowle
;
when
you
have
rowled
one
sheet
,
you
must
have
a
board
to
rowle
it
with
(
the
board
is
marked
in
the
second
figure
;
Figure
2.
G.
)
which
must
be
done
in
this
manner
:
you
must
hold
the
rowler
in
your
left
hand
,
and
with
your
right
hold
the
board
;
then
lay
down
your
rowler
upon
some
smooth
chest
,
or
table
,
or
such
like
;
which
when
you
have
done
,
lay
on
your
board
,
and
rowle
it
very
hard
,
only
one
way
;
which
having
done
,
rowle
another
length
,
and
so
proceed
in
rowling
between
every
sheet
,
till
you
have
rowled
on
so
much
as
will
fill
the
mould
very
straight
;
when
you
have
so
done
,
draw
forth
your
rowler
one
diameter
,
which
in
this
place
is
one
inch
;
and
then
take
the
other
part
of
the
rowler
,
which
is
short
,
and
marked
with
D
,
and
put
it
in
as
you
see
described
;
and
there
have
you
a
place
left
for
the
choaking
of
your
rocket
,
of
which
we
come
now
to
speak
:
CHAP.
III.
How
you
shall
choak
a
rocket
.
WHen
you
come
to
choak
your
rocket
,
you
must
have
a
ring
to
screw
into
some
post
,
at
which
you
must
tie
your
cord
,
which
must
be
bigger
or
lesser
,
according
to
the
bignesse
of
your
rocket
,
by
reason
that
a
small
cord
will
not
choak
a
great
rocket
for
want
of
strength
;
and
again
,
a
great
cord
will
not
serve
for
a
small
,
in
regard
that
it
will
make
too
great
a
choaking
;
so
that
you
must
have
a
bigger
and
lesse
;
which
when
you
have
so
provided
,
tying
one
end
to
the
ring
,
you
must
about
a
yard
off
tie
a
stick
,
in
fashion
of
a
handle
for
a
swing
,
which
must
bee
strong
,
by
reason
that
it
must
beare
the
whole
weight
of
the
body
,
(
the
letter
G
in
the
second
figure
expresseth
the
same
;
Figure
2.
K.
)
which
when
you
have
provided
,
fig
2
diagram of making a coffin of paper for fireworks
put
the
sticke
betweene
your
legges
,
and
winde
the
cord
about
the
rocket
case
in
the
place
appointed
,
which
is
betweene
the
long
rowler
and
the
short
,
when
you
have
so
done
,
girt
it
by
degrees
,
ever
turning
your
rouler
,
to
the
end
it
may
come
together
more
close
and
neat
(
the
manner
is
expressed
in
the
third
figure
,
by
the
letter
K
)
so
when
you
have
choaked
it
sufficiently
,
draw
forth
your
short
rowler
,
and
where
your
choaking
is
,
Figure
3.
K.
tye
it
about
with
strong
packthred
;
and
so
drawing
forth
your
rowler
,
you
have
a
coffin
ready
to
be
filled
when
occasion
serveth
,
the
forme
whereof
followeth
.
And
because
the
choaking
of
a
rocket
is
very
laborious
and
dangerous
,
in
regard
of
the
breaking
of
the
cord
,
which
often
hapneth
;
I
haue
therefore
invented
a
certaine
Engine
,
wherby
a
childe
may
choake
the
strongest
rocket
.
The
parts
of
it
are
a
screw
moving
a
wheele
,
on
the
axeltree
of
which
is
fastened
your
cord
for
choaking
,
with
the
other
end
of
the
cord
fastened
to
a
staple
on
the
same
boord
:

.
Having
described
the
order
and
formes
of
all
things
necessary
to
the
making
of
a
rocket
,
it
resteth
now
that
we
know
the
manner
of
driving
it
,
as
also
what
ingredients
are
most
proper
for
every
size
.
CHAP.
IV.
The
manner
of
driving
a
Rocket
,
with
the
instruments
belonging
to
the
same
.
WHen
you
have
finished
your
coffin
of
paper
,
take
it
,
and
with
your
hollow
rammer
force
it
downe
close
into
your
mould
,
which
when
you
have
done
,
strike
two
or
three
smart
blowes
to
settle
the
paper
into
his
right
forme
:
which
being
done
,
you
must
begin
to
fill
your
coffin
,
in
doing
whereof
,
you
must
have
a
great
care
,
alwaies
providing
a
measure
,
which
may
containe
1/20
,
part
of
your
whole
Rocket
;
so
by
that
meanes
you
shall
not
faile
,
but
every
Rocket
shall
have
a
true
proportion
alike
;
as
for
Example
,
I
have
a
coffin
,
which
being
filled
,
will
hold
an
ounce
of
mixture
or
therabouts
.
I
take
the
twentieth
part
,
and
when
I
finde
what
quantity
it
is
,
I
make
a
measure
of
horne
,
which
shall
containe
so
much
,
and
then
I
beginne
to
fill
my
coffin
with
one
measure
at
a
time
,
and
putting
in
my
rammer
,
strike
foure
or
five
smart
blowes
with
a
good
strong
mallet
,
Figure
3.
M.
and
then
I
fill
another
measure
,
and
strike
againe
,
so
I
continue
till
I
come
to
the
top
of
the
needle
,
then
I
take
the
sad
rammer
,
and
so
continue
with
it
,
till
I
come
to
the
top
of
the
mould
:
now
the
paper
which
is
above
the
top
of
the
mould
,
must
be
turned
downe
,
and
beaten
hard
down
,
which
being
done
,
the
Rocket
is
finished
from
the
mould
;
which
force
out
,
with
as
much
ease
as
you
can
,
for
the
lesse
you
force
it
(
being
filled
,
and
the
needle
taken
out
)
the
better
it
is
,
for
knocking
loosens
the
powder
,
and
so
causes
the
Rocket
to
faile
:
now
it
rests
to
know
the
receits
proper
for
every
sort
of
Rockets
.
And
first
for
Rockets
of
one
ounce
,
The
ingredients
for
ordinary
Rockets
.
you
may
take
only
powder
dust
being
very
fine
searced
;
which
rises
very
swift
,
but
carries
no
taile
of
fire
with
it
,
and
often
times
breakes
,
unlesse
they
be
very
thicke
of
paper
:
but
the
best
and
surest
way
is
,
to
allay
your
powder
with
coale
dust
being
well
searced
,
which
causes
a
more
glorious
shew
;
and
you
may
use
it
at
your
discretion
.
The
ordinary
allay
for
small
Rockets
is
,
1
l.
of
powder
,
two
℥
.
of
coale
dust
,
which
serves
till
you
come
to
Rockets
of
foure
ounces
,
then
must
you
take
to
every
1
l.
of
powder
2½
℥
of
coledust
,
continuing
that
quantity
till
you
come
to
Rockets
of
tenne
ounces
,
and
from
tenne
to
sixteene
ounces
,
which
is
one
pound
:
your
allay
must
be
to
one
pound
of
powder
,
three
ounces
of
coale
.
Now
when
you
have
provided
your
powder
,
you
must
first
meale
it
,
and
then
scarce
it
,
so
that
it
may
be
free
from
any
corne
though
never
so
small
.
Likewise
take
good
dry
coale
,
well
burnt
,
and
beat
it
to
dust
,
searcing
it
very
fine
,
which
when
you
have
done
,
mixe
them
according
as
your
occasion
serveth
,
and
as
your
directions
are
.
CHAP.
V.
The
manner
of
heading
a
Rocket
,
with
the
order
of
capping
it
.
NOw
we
come
to
shew
the
manner
of
heading
a
Rocket
,
in
which
we
are
to
use
our
thicke
Roler
,
specified
in
the
second
figure
,
and
marked
with
F.
Vpon
which
you
must
role
some
paper
or
fine
past-board
,
and
past
it
so
that
it
may
bee
very
close
,
and
then
choake
it
at
the
length
of
the
thicker
part
,
so
that
it
may
come
close
to
your
sticke
in
the
lesser
part
,
which
will
fit
to
be
tyed
to
the
top
of
your
Rocket
,
so
shall
you
have
a
coffine
to
put
in
your
workes
,
which
must
bee
of
divers
sorts
.
That
being
done
,
you
must
provide
Taper
caps
,
which
must
be
adjoyned
to
the
top
of
the
large
coffin
.
The
use
of
them
is
to
keepe
in
your
workes
,
and
to
cause
them
to
pierce
the
ayre
more
swiftly
.
The
manner
of
making
these
caps
,
is
,
to
take
a
paire
of
Compasses
,
and
describe
a
circle
in
pastboard
,
then
cut
it
forth
with
a
paire
of
sheeres
,
and
that
shall
make
two
cappes
,
being
cut
in
the
middle
,
and
turned
one
corner
under
the
other
,
and
so
pasted
;
and
let
them
so
pasted
,
be
put
in
a
napkin
presse
till
they
be
dry
,
and
when
they
be
dry
,
cut
out
a
semicircle
in
paper
,
which
shall
fit
round
about
the
said
cap
,
and
shall
serve
to
paste
on
the
cap
to
the
coffin
:
the
forme
whereof
is
expressed
in
the
fourth
figure
,
by
the
figure
14.
and
15.
so
have
you
all
things
ready
to
the
finishing
of
your
Rocket
,
which
must
be
done
as
followeth
.
CHAP.

The
manner
of
finishing
a
Rocket
.
WHen
your
Rocket
is
driuen
,
as
I
have
shewed
you
,
with
the
paper
turned
downe
,
you
shall
first
prime
it
,
which
must
be
with
cotton
wicke
made
for
the
said
purpose
,
which
you
shall
put
up
into
the
vent
,
leaving
a
peece
to
hang
lower
than
the
mouth
of
your
Rocket
,
by
three
or
foure
inches
,
which
being
done
,
tye
a
piece
of
paper
over
the
mouth
,
to
the
end
it
fall
not
out
:
now
having
primed
your
Rocket
,
you
may
proceede
to
the
heading
of
it
,
and
that
is
done
after
this
manner
.
Take
your
Rocket
,
and
on
the
head
(
where
I
told
you
,
you
should
turne
downe
the
paper
,
you
must
with
a
bodkin
,
pierce
two
or
three
holes
,
to
the
intent
that
the
Rocket
having
spent
himselfe
,
your
workes
which
are
on
his
head
,
may
take
fire
;
which
holes
,
prime
with
a
little
powder
dust
,
and
then
put
on
his
head
,
with
the
choaking
fitted
to
your
Rocket
,
which
must
come
over
the
Rocket
,
in
such
manner
,
that
the
bottome
of
the
greater
part
must
come
even
with
the
top
of
the
Rocket
;
which
tye
fast
to
your
rocket
with
threed
,
and
then
put
in
your
workes
:
but
before
you
put
in
your
workes
,
whether
they
be
starres
,
or
any
other
workes
,
you
must
put
in
a
little
cotton
wooll
,
being
rowled
in
powder
dust
,
to
the
end
your
stars
may
fire
,
and
likewise
may
blow
out
:
which
having
done
,
put
in
your
starres
,
or
other
workes
,
and
if
you
make
more
than
one
tire
(
as
you
may
doe
of
your
starres
)
then
must
you
put
more
cotton
rowled
in
powder
dust
amongst
them
,
or
betweene
every
tire
,
to
the
end
they
may
all
take
fire
;
then
take
your
cap
so
provided
as
I
have
formerly
shewed
,
and
fill
the
hollow
place
with
cotton
,
because
it
is
light
,
and
likewise
will
fire
quickly
:
which
being
fitted
,
paste
it
close
to
the
top
of
the
coffin
,
in
such
manner
,
that
it
may
stand
very
upright
;
then
must
you
fit
on
your
sticke
,
for
the
peasing
of
your
Rocket
,
which
ought
to
be
about
eight
lengths
of
your
Rocket
without
the
head
.
You
must
get
the
smoothest
and
lightest
you
can
,
such
as
basket
makers
use
;
which
when
you
have
got
,
you
must
make
very
strait
,
and
then
cutting
one
side
of
it
,
flat
at
the
great
end
,
make
two
notches
on
the
round
side
,
provided
that
the
one
be
differing
from
the
other
,
so
much
as
is
betweene
the
choaking
of
your
Rocket
,
and
the
end
of
the
vent
;
because
if
you
should
tye
it
upon
the
vent
,
it
would
loosen
the
powder
,
and
so
cause
it
to
breake
in
the
firing
.
Now
that
you
tye
not
the
wrong
end
of
your
fig
3.
diagram of how to choke a rocket
Rocket
uppermost
,
as
some
foolishly
have
done
,
for
want
of
better
instructions
,
you
must
alwayes
tye
the
end
downewards
,
which
is
choaked
,
and
with
a
piece
of
strong
thred
tye
it
fast
to
the
lower
notch
,
just
about
the
choaking
,
so
shall
you
be
sure
your
stickes
shall
not
fall
off
,
neither
will
it
indanger
the
hurting
of
your
rocket
.
When
yo●
have
tyed
that
,
then
proceed
to
the
tying
of
it
higher
,
which
as
I
say
,
must
be
somewhat
high●r
than
the
top
of
the
vent
,
and
let
your
sticke
come
even
with
the
top
of
your
rocket
;
which
having
done
,
pease
your
rocket
,
which
must
be
after
this
manner
.
Lay
it
on
your
finger
two
or
three
inches
or
more
from
the
mouth
,
and
if
you
finde
the
stick
be
too
heavy
,
cut
it
shorter
,
till
you
finde
your
Rocket
to
ballance
your
sticke
,
for
the
sticke
being
too
heavy
,
causes
your
rocket
to
slugge
,
and
being
too
light
,
it
makes
a
rocket
fall
before
he
is
halfe
up
:
these
things
being
provided
,
you
have
your
rocket
ready
to
be
fired
,
which
must
be
after
this
manner
.
CHAP.
VII
.
The
manner
of
firing
Rockets
,
with
the
description
of
a
staffe
for
the
firing
of
them
.
PRovide
a
long
staffe
with
a
pike
at
one
end
,
which
must
be
thrust
hard
into
the
ground
,
and
a
three
legged
staffe
with
a
hollow
hoope
at
the
top
,
to
let
this
long
staffe
slide
up
and
downe
,
to
the
end
that
having
rockets
,
whose
stickes
are
longer
than
your
said
staffe
,
yet
by
raising
it
through
the
said
iron
hoope
,
you
may
make
it
foure
or
five
foot
longer
than
it
would
be
standing
on
the
ground
.
Now
this
long
staffe
must
have
a
sliding
peece
cut
with
severall
points
,
which
must
be
neere
the
top
;
and
at
the
bottome
there
must
be
a
ring
of
wyer
,
to
let
the
sticke
goe
through
,
which
must
be
made
likewise
to
slide
up
and
downe
;
so
thrusting
the
small
end
through
the
said
ring
,
your
rocket
will
rest
upon
that
part
above
,
which
must
be
just
opposite
in
a
straight
line
,
so
open
the
mouth
of
your
rocket
,
and
pull
out
the
end
of
your
cotton
wicke
,
and
with
a
peece
of
match
,
fastened
in
a
Linstocke
,
give
fire
to
the
said
wicke
,
and
by
degreees
,
you
shall
see
it
fire
your
rocket
;
which
being
well
ordered
,
will
mount
very
straight
and
high
:
now
having
shewed
the
whole
order
of
composing
a
rocket
,
with
the
firing
of
the
same
,
I
will
shew
you
an
order
for
making
of
your
starres
,
and
other
workes
which
are
necessary
for
the
heads
of
your
rockets
;
and
first
of
all
I
will
shew
you
the
making
of
divers
sorts
of
starres
,
with
their
compositions
;
and
since
wee
cannot
make
them
without
the
compositions
,
I
will
first
set
downe
the
compositions
,
and
then
proceed
to
the
manner
of
making
them
.

put

The
manner
of
making
the
best
sort
of
starres
.
NOw
having
set
downe
the
compositions
for
starres
,
it
resteth
to
know
how
these
starres
are
made
,
which
is
divers
waies
,
but
I
will
set
you
downe
onely
two
waies
both
which
are
very
good
,
so
that
you
may
take
your
choyce
.
The
first
is
this
,
you
must
make
little
square
pieces
of
browne
paper
,
which
fill
with
your
composition
you
intend
,
Figure

N.
G.
and
so
double
it
downe
,
rolling
it
till
you
make
it
somewhat
round
,
about
the
bignesse
of
a
nut
or
bigger
,
according
to
the
size
of
your
rocket
;
you
may
put
in
a
dozen
on
the
head
of
a
small
rocket
;
when
you
have
made
them
up
in
this
forme
,
you
must
binde
them
round
with
small
thred
,
which
done
,
draw
through
a
cotton
wicke
prepared
for
priming
,
as
hereafter
shall
be
shewne
.
The
second
sort
are
made
after
another
manner
,
which
is
thus
;
you
must
have
a
rowler
,
as
big
as
an
ordinary
arrow
,
which
shall
be
to
rowle
a
length
of
paper
about
it
,
and
with
a
little
mouth
glue
,
or
paste
,
paste
it
round
;
so
have
you
a
hollow
trunke
of
paper
,
which
you
shall
order
after
this
manner
.
Fill
it
by
little
and
little
with
your
small
funnell
,
still
thrusting
it
very
hard
,
till
you
have
filled
it
to
the
top
;
which
done
,
cut
it
into
short
pieces
,
about
halfe
an
inch
in
length
;
then
having
in
readinesse
either
hot
glue
,
or
size
mingled
with
red
lead
,
dip
one
end
of
your
short
pieces
,
to
the
end
,
that
both
ends
of
your
starre
fire
not
,
and
also
that
it
may
not
blow
out
;
which
being
so
finished
,
set
to
dry
till
you
use
them
,
and
then
putting
the
other
end
into
powder
dust
,
you
may
put
them
on
your
rocket
,
in
one
or
two
tier
;
alwaies
provided
,
as
I
said
before
,
that
you
put
in
powder
dust
betweene
every
tier
,
to
the
end
they
may
all
fire
;
thus
have
you
the
manner
of
making
your
starres
,
the
formes
whereof
you
shall
have
described
hereafter
.
Priming
for
Rockets
.
The
priming
before
spoken
of
,
is
made
after
this
manner
;
take
oyle
of
Camphire
,
and
soake
some
cotton
wicke
in
it
,
then
take
it
out
being
moyst
,
and
rowle
it
in
fine
powder
dust
,
which
having
done
,
you
shall
hang
it
up
till
it
be
thorow
dry
,
so
have
you
prepared
a
very
good
priming
,
which
must
be
kept
close
from
ayre
,
till
such
time
you
have
occasion
,
otherwise
the
spirit
of
the
Camphir
will
decay
.

The
manner
of
making
silver
and
gold
raine
.
NOw
I
will
shew
you
the
order
for
making
of
golden
raine
,
which
is
after
this
manner
;
you
must
prouide
store
of
Goose
quils
,
which
hauing
,
you
must
cut
off
the
quill
as
long
as
you
can
leaue
it
,
and
cut
not
off
the
other
end
,
but
leaue
it
close
as
you
see
presented
by
the
letters
O
P.
Figure
4.
where
O
represents
one
filled
,
and
P
one
empty
.
The
receit
which
you
make
your
golden
raine
,
must
be
the
same
which
you
make
your
rockets
of
one
ounce
,
which
is
to
1
l.
of
powder
,
2
℥
.
of
coale
dust
:
now
hauing
filled
many
of
these
quils
,
as
I
haue
shewed
you
,
they
must
be
put
on
the
head
of
your
rocket
,
with
the
open
ends
downward
,
to
the
end
they
may
take
fire
so
soone
as
your
rocket
is
spent
,
and
so
shall
you
see
appeare
a
shower
of
gold
,
which
by
some
is
called
golden
raine
:
the
like
way
may
you
make
siluer
raine
,
filling
your
quils
with
the
mixture
prescribed
for
your
white
starres
,
and
using
them
in
the
same
manner
,
you
shall
see
them
fall
downe
like
a
shower
of
siluer
,
which
is
called
siluer
raine
;
and
thus
much
shall
suffice
to
be
knowne
for
this
sort
of
worke
.

How
to
make
Fisgigs
,
which
some
call
Serpents
.
NOw
I
will
shew
you
to
make
another
sort
of
work
,
which
we
call
Fisgigs
,
or
as
the
French
name
them
,
Serpents
,
which
are
made
as
followeth
.
You
must
provide
a
small
mould
,
of
¼
of
an
inch
diameter
,
which
must
bee
made
without
a
needle
,
which
when
you
have
,
you
must
make
your
cases
,
as
you
make
for
your
rockets
,
choaking
them
½
an
inch
from
the
end
,
which
shall
serue
for
occasion
as
it
shall
bee
proffered
;
when
you
haue
made
your
cases
,
fill
them
three
inches
with
powder
dust
,
and
then
choake
him
,
and
after
put
in
a
little
corne
powder
,
to
the
end
that
your
Fisgig
hauing
plaied
a
while
to
and
fro
,
hee
may
breake
and
giue
a
report
;
the
use
of
the
making
so
deepe
a
mouth
at
your
first
choaking
is
,
that
you
may
fill
it
with
your
starre
mixture
;
so
that
putting
diuers
of
them
on
the
head
of
a
large
rocket
,
they
will
first
appeare
like
so
many
starres
,
and
when
the
starres
are
spent
,
taking
hold
of
the
powder
dust
,
they
will
run
wrigling
to
and
fro
like
Serpents
,
and
after
a
while
they
will
giue
so
many
reports
,
which
will
giue
great
content
.
There
are
many
works
which
are
made
of
these
fisgigs
,
which
wee
will
speak
of
in
their
places
.
CHAP.

.
How
to
make
the
reports
or
breakers
.
NOW
I
will
proceed
to
shew
the
manner
of
making
reports
to
place
on
the
head
of
a
rocket
;
you
must
make
a
coffin
of
the
size
of
your
rocket
of
one
inch
,
but
you
must
rowle
your
paper
a
great
deale
thicker
,
to
the
intent
your
report
may
be
the
greater
;
also
in
choaking
,
the
mouth
must
bee
left
very
large
,
to
the
end
that
on
occasion
you
may
fill
it
with
starre
mixture
;
now
when
you
have
made
divers
coffins
about
three
inches
and
better
in
length
,
you
must
leave
a
small
vent
at
the
choaking
,
the
bignesse
of
an
ordinary
wyer
,
which
you
must
stop
with
a
little
paper
,
while
you
fill
the
coffin
almost
full
,
or
within
halfe
an
inch
of
the
top
,
with
good
corn
powder
,
turning
down
foure
or
five
folds
of
paper
,
choak
it
close
at
the
top
,
and
binde
it
round
with
thred
,
so
you
have
your
reports
ready
,
against
such
time
you
come
to
use
them
;
which
must
be
done
in
this
manner
:
first
bee
carefull
to
pull
out
your
stopple
,
which
having
done
,
fill
the
mouth
with
your
starre
mixture
,
and
so
fasten
him
on
the
top
of
your
rocket
,
alwayes
putting
a
little
paper
about
the
top
of
your
rocket
,
and
in
it
put
a
little
powder
dust
,
and
so
set
on
your
report
,
and
tie
it
fast
on
,
with
the
mouth
towards
the
head
of
the
rocket
,
so
that
the
rocket
having
spent
himselfe
,
you
shall
see
a
large
star
appeare
,
and
when
it
is
neere
the
ground
,
you
shal
heare
the
report
;
the
order
thereof
you
shall
finde
described
in
the
fourth
figure
.
-

Is
the
report
ready
finished
.
-

The
rocket
with
the
report
on
the
head
.
-
3
The
report
fastned
on
the
head
of
the
rocket
.
-
4
The
paper
to
fasten
the
report
to
the
rocket
,
which
must
first
bee
tied
to
the
rocket
,
and
likewise
to
the
report
.
-

Representeth
a
fisgig
finished
.
-
9
The
choaking
,
as
I
have
shewed
,
which
must
bee
silled
upward
with
corn
powder
.
-
10
The
mouth
of
your
fisgig
,
which
upon
occasion
you
may
fill
with
your
starre
mixture
,
to
put
on
the
head
of
your
rockets
.
-
11
Representeth
a
fisgig
,
with
a
bladder
,
which
must
be
tyed
on
to
the
head
of
them
,
in
such
manner
,
that
the
neck
of
the
bladder
may
go
into
the
fisgig
,
and
so
be
fast
tyed
,
that
they
stirre
not
;
the
use
of
them
is
,
only
to
fire
in
your
hand
,
(
for
being
fired
with
a
little
powder
dust
in
the
mouth
of
it
)
and
so
cast
away
from
you
,
it
will
fly
to
and
fro
without
ceasing
,
till
it
hath
spent
it selfe
;
and
by
reason
of
the
bladder
which
is
tied
to
it
,
it
will
not
stick
fast
to
the
ground
,
as
others
do
which
have
no
bladders
.
-
12
Representeth
a
cracker
fastned
to
the
top
of
a
rocket
,
so
that
the
rocket
having
spent
himselfe
,
it
taketh
fire
,
and
maketh
many
reports
;
the
manner
of
fastning
him
is
thus
;
you
must
first
tie
on
your
rocket
,
leaving
the
stick
so
much
higher
than
the
top
,
as
will
suffice
to
tie
on
your
cracker
,
which
must
be
tied
about
the
said
stick
,
in
such
manner
,
that
the
nose
of
it
may
come
into
the
head
of
your
rocket
,
which
being
primed
with
some
powder
dust
,
will
take
fire
.
-

Representeth
a
rocketh
with
severall
works
,
whether
starres
,
or
serpents
,
and
must
be
with
a
large
coffin
on
the
top
,
with
his
cap.
-
6
Is
the
coffin
,
which
as
J
have
shewed
you
,
must
bee
somewhat
bigger
than
your
rocket
.
-
7
Is
the
cap
,
which
must
be
taper
.
-
13
Sheweth
the
fastning
of
the
stick
,
which
must
not
bee
higher
than
your
rocket
,
beside
the
large
coffin
.
All
which
I
have
formerly
described
,
with
the
form
and
manner
of
making
them
,
and
their
severall
uses
;
so
that
I
have
fully
layd
down
the
whole
order
of
finishing
a
rocket
for
the
ayre
.
Now
it
resteth
to
shew
what
other
works
may
bee
done
by
the
sayd
rockets
,
which
are
many
;
for
all
sorts
of
Fire
works
for
pleasure
,
do
wholly
depend
upon
them
,
except
the
water
bals
:
and
to
proceed
,
I
will
first
describe
unto
you
the
order
of
making
the
runners
on
the
line
,
which
must
bee
done
in
manner
following
.
CHAP.
XIII
.
How
to
make
a
runner
on
the
line
.
YOV
must
provide
a
small
rocket
mould
,
which
must
be
halfe
an
inch
or
more
,
with
rowlers
,
and
rammers
,
according
as
I
have
described
,
save
only
that
your
mould
must
have
no
needle
,
nor
your
rammers
hollow
;
when
you
have
provided
them
,
make
up
your
cases
,
after
the
form
which
I
have
shewed
you
,
some
longer
,
and
some
shorter
,
which
must
be
used
as
followeth
;
your
short
ones
must
be
beaten
up
to
the
top
,
which
must
not
bee
above
foure
inches
;
your
longer
,
which
must
bee
5
½
inches
,
must
bee
likewise
filled
foure
inches
high
,
and
the
rest
to
be
filled
with
corn
powder
within
halfe
an
inch
of
the
top
,
Receipt
for
runners
.
which
must
be
choaked
close
,
and
tied
up
;
the
receipt
for
these
sorts
must
be
only
fine
powder
dust
.
Now
when
you
have
driven
them
as
is
shewed
,
you
may
proceed
to
the
finishing
of
them
,
which
must
be
in
this
manner
;
you
must
rowle
a
peece
of
paper
about
the
head
of
your
shorter
rocket
,
(
which
must
be
left
open
to
give
fire
to
the
next
)
which
paper
must
be
five
inches
broad
,
and
being
rowled
on
,
you
must
first
try
if
the
mouth
of
your
other
rocket
will
easily
go
in
,
which
when
you
have
done
,
draw
forth
your
other
rocket
which
you
tried
,
and
binde
your
paper
fast
to
the
top
of
your
short
one
,
in
such
manner
,
that
foure
inches
may
remaine
hollow
above
the
top
of
your
rocket
,
which
is
to
be
filled
with
powder
dust
,
about
two
inches
high
;
then
put
in
your
longer
rocket
,
(
with
the
mouth
inward
)
so
farre
as
it
may
touch
your
powder
dust
;
and
tie
the
paper
fast
about
the
choaking
,
as
you
shall
finde
described
in
the
fift
figure
;
after
you
have
done
this
,
proceed
to
the
putting
on
of
your
cane
,
which
must
bee
after
this
manner
;
you
must
first
provide
canes
of
such
bignesse
as
will
fit
your
line
,
and
cut
them
three
inches
,
long
,
or
somewhat
better
,
and
then
notch
them
with
three
notches
,
which
when
you
have
so
provided
,
first
tie
it
to
your
longer
rocket
which
is
to
fire
last
,
and
then
doubling
them
together
,
(
in
such
sort
that
the
nose
of
the
first
come
farther
out
than
the
tayle
of
the
second
)
tie
it
to
them
both
;
the
reason
of
this
is
,
because
otherwise
,
if
it
were
tied
to
them
both
together
,
and
not
to
one
severally
,
so
soon
as
the
first
were
fired
,
the
cane
will
grow
slack
,
and
often
fall
off
,
and
never
make
his
return
;
and
againe
,
if
you
should
not
put
the
mouth
of
the
one
farther
out
than
the
tayle
of
other
,
it
would
fire
your
other
rocket
,
and
so
make
a
confusion
:
therefore
that
you
may
the
better
understand
what
I
have
shewed
you
,
I
have
set
down
in
this
fift
figure
,
the
whole
order
of
finishing
a
runner
for
the
line
.

The
manner
of
firing
your
runner
.
NOW
having
thus
finished
your
runners
,
you
must
provide
a
line
,
which
may
bee
a
hundred
yards
,
or
more
,
as
your
ground
will
permit
,
so
fastning
your
cord
at
the
farthest
of
your
distance
,
provide
a
peece
of
board
or
cork
,
with
a
hole
of
the
bignesse
of
your
line
,
which
must
bee
put
on
the
end
of
your
line
,
to
the
end
that
your
rocket
may
not
rest
against
any
thing
that
may
hinder
it
in
the
retrogade
motion
;
alwayes
provided
,
you
sope
your
line
very
well
,
for
feare
of
firing
:
then
put
on
your
runner
at
the
other
end
(
with
the
mouth
of
the
rocket
towards
you
,
which
must
bee
primed
with
powder
dust
)
and
pull
your
line
very
straight
,
which
is
a
great
help
to
the
running
of
a
rocket
,
so
fastning
your
cord
,
you
may
fire
your
runner
,
which
being
well
ordered
,
will
run
to
the
farthest
of
your
line
,
making
his
return
,
with
a
report
at
last
;
so
have
you
finished
the
runner
.

How
to
compose
a
wheele
.
NOW
I
will
shew
you
the
order
of
composing
a
wheele
,
which
is
a
prime
work
,
being
well
ordered
;
of
which
some
are
movable
,
and
some
immovable
:
of
the
movable
,
some
move
horizontall
,
and
some
verticall
,
which
is
toward
the
zenith
:
and
first
of
the
movable
wheele
.
You
must
provide
a
wheele
of
such
diameter
as
you
please
,
which
must
be
made
into
squares
,
according
to
the
circumference
of
your
wheele
,
and
to
proportion
your
wheele
into
a
just
number
,
you
may
allow
five
inches
or
better
for
every
side
,
so
that
your
wheele
being
14
inches
diameter
,
the
circumference
will
be
as
7
to
22
,
which
is
44
inches
circumference
;
so
being
divided
by
5
,
there
will
bee
8
squares
,
Figure

N
1.
or
more
properly
,
8
sides
,
which
will
every
one
containe
5
inches
and
3/10
,
which
is
the
cord
of
45
degrees
;
these
sides
must
bee
hollowed
with
a
groofe
fitting
your
rockets
,
and
at
the
ends
of
every
side
it
must
bee
filed
with
notches
,
to
fasten
your
binding
that
it
slide
not
,
when
you
binde
fast
your
rockets
;
the
form
whereof
you
shall
finde
in
the
fift
figure
N

Sheweth
the

sides
.
-
B
The
places
of
fastning
.
-
C
The
screw
which
fastneth
the
wheele
to
some
post
.
Note
alwayes
,
that
as
your
wheele
doth
increase
in
diameter
,
so
you
must
increase
in
the
proportion
,
for
that
rocket
which
forces
about
a
wheele
of
14
inches
,
will
not
force
a
wheele
of
18
inches
;
nor
that
rocket
which
forceth
one
of
18
inches
,
will
not
force
one
of
24
inches
;
but
that
you
may
come
to
a
neere
proportion
,
I
will
satisfie
you
so
neere
as
I
can
;
first
seek
the
diameter
of
your
wheele
,
which
imagine
to
bee
18
inches
,
I
take
the
third
thereof
,
which
is
6
,
so
that
your
rocket
for
18
inches
diameter
,
must
be
6
inches
long
,
and
your
wheele
of
24
inches
diameter
,
will
require
rockets
of
8
inches
;
yet
as
your
wheele
encreaseth
,
you
may
alter
this
proportion
by
dividing
it
into
more
sides
.
Now
having
provided
your
wheele
,
with
your
rockets
of
a
just
size
,
you
shall
proceed
to
the
finishing
of
it
,
which
must
bee
after
this
manner
;
you
must
joine
your
rockets
one
to
another
,
in
such
sort
as
I
shewed
you
for
your
runners
,
that
is
,
with
the
mouth
of
the
one
to
the
top
of
the
other
,
and
so
proceed
till
you
have
fastned
so
many
as
will
serve
your
wheele
,
alwayes
leaving
so
much
space
between
each
rocket
,
as
may
suffer
them
to
come
round
about
your
wheele
,
without
breaking
any
;
which
when
you
have
done
,
proceed
to
the
tying
of
them
on
to
your
wheele
,
which
must
be
so
ordered
,
that
you
tie
them
where
the
notches
are
,
to
the
end
they
faile
not
in
firing
,
by
sliding
off
.
In
tying
the●●
on
you
must
provide
that
you
leave
a
little
distance
between
the
first
and
the
last
,
which
must
be
parted
with
a
bolster
of
paper
well
soaped
,
to
th●
end
that
the
first
fire
not
the
last
,
and
so
cause
a
great
confusion
.
Now
for
the
manner
of
placing
them
,
it
is
according
to
the
workmans
pleasure
,
which
must
be
either
horizontall
,
or
verticall
;
for
the
horizontall
wheele
you
must
provide
a
post
fastned
in
the
ground
,
and
screw
your
wheele
to
the
top
of
it
;
for
the
verticall
,
you
must
screw
it
on
the
side
of
the
post
,
so
having
fired
them
,
you
shall
see

How
to
make
a
ground
wheele
.
HEre
I
will
declare
unto
you
the
manner
of
making
a
paire
of
wheels
to
run
upon
a
plain
horizon
;
provide
two
wheels
,
(
such
as
are
spinning
wheels
)
of
one
bignesse
,
which
must
bee
fastned
to
a
small
axeltree
,
in
such
manner
,
that
they
may
not
move
about
the
axeltree
,
and
on
the
middle
of
the
axeltree
fasten
a
fire
wheele
,
which
let
bee
so
much
lesse
than
the
other
,
that
it
touch
not
the
ground
,
so
that
being
fast
upon
the
same
axeltree
,
it
cannot
run
unlesse
it
carry
the
other
with
it
,
which
being
set
on
a
plain
horizon
,
will
run
a
great
way
without
ceasing
:
now
that
you
may
make
it
return
,
you
may
provide
your
wheele
in
such
manner
,
that
it
may
have
rockets
on
both
sides
,
so
that
one
side
being
spent
,
it
may
give
fire
to
the
other
,
which
being
fastned
with
their
mouthes
the
contrary
way
,
will
make
a
return
with
a
swift
motion
.
The
form
of
these
ground
wheeles
you
may
see
represented
in
the
fift
figure
,

Another
manner
of
ground
wheeles
.
THere
is
another
kinde
of
ground
wheeles
,
and
that
is
made
so
,
that
the
wheeles
may
move
about
the
axeltree
;
but
this
sort
is
not
moved
about
by
a
wheele
,
in
regard
the
axeltree
must
stand
still
,
but
it
is
made
after
this
manner
;
you
must
make
your
axeltree
somewhat
broad
about
the
midst
of
it
,
and
in
that
place
you
shall
boare
two
holes
,
into
which
you
shall
put
two
rockets
,
which
must
bee
so
close
one
to
the
other
,
that
they
may
almost
touch
,
and
must
bee
so
joined
together
,
that
one
having
spent
himselfe
,
the
other
may
take
fire
,
after
the
manner
of
your
line
work
,
to
the
end
that
being
fired
,
it
may
run
first
one
way
,
and
then
the
other
taking
fire
,
may
make
his
return
by
a
second
motion
:
now
the
rockets
which
you
put
into
this
place
,
must
alwayes
bee
proportioned
according
to
the
bignesse
of
your
wheele
,
which
if
you
perform
according
to
the
direction
,
you
shall
have
your
desire
.
The
form
of
this
wheele
is
expressed
in
the
fift

are
put

-
C
the
place
for
the
two
rockets

,
which
must
be
so
ordered
,
that
the
mouth
of
one
may
joyne
to
the
tayle
of
the
other
.
It
is
especially
to
be
noted
,
that
these
wheeles
must
run
upon
a
very
plain
horizon
,
such
as
the
place
for
the
game
of
Pall
Maile
at
St.
Iameses
,
or
some
other
very
smooth
place
;
by
reason
that
after
the
first
firing
of
a
rocket
,
his
violence
is
over
,
and
so
a
small
thing
will
stay
him
.
There
are
also
sundry
sorts
of
wheeles
,
which
do
perform
divers
offices
;
some
for
displaying
of
a
Coat
of
Armes
,
and
others
for
setting
of
divers
circular
works
,
some
of
them
I
will
speak
of
;
and
first
I
will
shew
the
manner
of
making
a
horizontall
wheele
,
which
with
one
firing
shall
give
divers
reports
,
and
shall
stand
fixed
.

The
manner
of
making
a
fixed
wheele
,
which
shall
give
divers
reports
.
YOV
must
first
get
a
wheele
turned
by
some
workman
,
which
must
be
two
foot
in
diameter
,
(
or
as
you
please
to
augment
or
diminish
your
work
)
which
must
have
a
groofe
turned
out
of
the
upper
side
,
of
halfe
an
inch
wide
,
and
likewise
as
deep
;
to
which
groofe
you
must
have
a
peece
of
wood
so
fitted
,
that
it
may
just
slide
in
,
which
peece
of
wood
must
have
so
many
small
holes
bored
in
it
as
you
will
have
reports
about
it
,
alwayes
provided
,
you
set
them
not
too
neere
together
,
because
the
firing
of
one
may
not
beat
down
the
other
;
when
you
have
thus
provided
your
wheele
,
make
a
conveyance
or
hollow
trunck
of
paper
which
will
iust
fill
it
,
which
must
bee
filled
with
some
of
your
slow
mixtures
for
starres
,
and
then
putting
on
the
cap
of
wood
so
fitted
with
holes
,
and
made
very
fast
with
glew
,
pierce
every
hole
into
your
hollow
conveyance
,
so
that
putting
a
quill
into
every
one
,
they
may
take
fire
,
and
to
the
said
quill
fasten
a
report
,
so
shall
you
have
a
peale
of
Chambers
placed
in
a
small
roome
,
which
being
once
fired
,
Figure

will
follow

THere
is
likewise
another
sort
of
wheele
not
much
unlike
to
the
former
,
which
shall
give
fire
to
divers
rockets
standing
circular
,
the
order
differs
nothing
from
the
former
,
only
you
must
make
a
hole
for
every
stick
to
passe
thorow
,
and
therefore
it
must
be
made
somewhat
broader
,
which
will
effect
the
same
as
the
other
doth
,
by
conveying
fire
from
one
rocket
to
another
,
till
they
bee
all
spent
;
the
mixture
for
this
conveyance
ought
to
bee
very
slow
,
wherefore
I
advise
you
to
take
this

,
and
likewise
halfe

boare
;
then
boare
your
holes
thorow
your
inch
board
,
and
let
them
enter
an
inch
into
the
thicker
planke
,
then
make
foure
square
holes
(
one
at

corner
)
in
the
thicker
planke
,
to
receive
foure
square
pieces
of

,
which
must
be
an

square
,
which
glue
fast
into
foure
holes
opposite
to
the
other
in
the
thinner
planke
,
to
the
end
it
may
slide
to

then
fasten
an
iron

,
and
be
fastened
to
a
piece
of
wood
,
which
may
turne
upon

;
to
the
end
you
may
draw
the
thinner
square
neerer
as
your
fire
consumes
,
and
must
draw
it
too
foot
at

;
then
provide
a
small
arrow
of
two
foot
long
,
and
upon
it
rowle
so
much
paper
,
till
it
fill
your
small
holes
exactly
,
then
fill
so
many
as
you
have
holes
already
provided
in

,
and
put
them
thorow
the
thinner
piece
,

the
ends
thereof
into
the
thicker

which
let
be
glued
fast
into
the
bottome
of
that

so
that
they
may
stand
very

and
likewise
let
them
passe
so
easily
thorow
the
other
holes
,
that
the
board
may
slide
nearer
or
further
,
to

,
at
pleasure
;
then
fit
a
piece
of

,
so
that
it
may
come
close
about
these
rouled
lances
,
and
may
fit
as

end
,
then
prime
them
all
with

How

a
Castle

with
the
manner
of
placing
the
workes
in
a
true
order
.
PRepare
a
Castle
of
wood
,
or
plate
,
of
what
largenesse
you
please
,
the
which
shall
bee
made
foure
square
,
with
round
towers
and
battlements
,
and
on
the
top
or
inner
part
of
that
worke
,
let
there
bee
a
lesser
tower
of
the
same
fashion
,
with
a
Vane
on
the
top
,
or
such
a
like
Figure
,
which
having
provided
,
let
there
be
a
place
made
close
to
the
battlements
,
or
within
one
inch
of
them
,
to
lay
your
conveiances
,
(
which
let
be
of
brasse
)
which
is
for
your
reports
,
which
must
be
placed
betweene
each
battlement
,
and
shall
have
little
pipes
of
brasse
to
give
fire
to
each
report
,
which
must
be
screwed
into
the
great
conveiance
;
which
conveiance
let
be
filled
with
your
composition
for
rockets
of
1
l.
which
is
one
pound
of
powder
to
3⅓
℥
of
coale
dust
;
and
by
this
meanes
you
shall
have
them
all
fire
in
order
,
without
any
confusion
;
which
having
spent
it selfe
,
shall
give
fire
to
another
conveiance
,
which
shall
be
placed
further
in
,
with
a
strong
wall
betweene
,
so
that
the
fire
of
one
doe
not
offend
the
other
:
the
use
of
this
conveiance
is
to
place
divers
rockets
on
,
so
that
they
may
fire
one
after
another
,
and
shall
take
fire
as
soone
as
the
reports
are
ended
.
Now
for
the
foure
large
towers
,
you
shal
provide
foure
pieces
of
wood
,
turned
and
fitted
to
slide
in
exactly
,
and
shall
have
divers
smooth
holes
boared
round
thorow
the
out
side
of
your
tower
,
and
the
wood
,
till
they
meet
with
the
hollow
which
passeth
from
the
top
to
the
bottome
,
or
within
an
inch
,
which
hollow
shall
bee
one
inch
and
a
halfe
diameter
,
and
must
be
filled
with
a
very
slow
mixture
,
(
to
the
end
it
may
continue
as
long
as
the
worke
is
a
burning
)
then
place
some
Fisgigs
round
in
those
little
holes
,
so
that
the
mouths
may
be
inward
and
primed
,
which
will
take
fire
one
after
another
,
and
flye
out
on
every
side
of
your
Castle
,
which
will
give
great
content
:
for
the
manner
of
firing
this
,
I
could
wish
,
that
it
were
first
fired
at
the
foure
uper
towers
,
and
that
through
one
of
the
corners
,
may
bee
a
hole
,
which
may
goe
to
the
uper
conveyance
,
that
so
those
reports
may
fire
next
,
and
at
the
end
of
that
conveyance
shall
be
another
to
passe
downe
to
the
lower
tier
of
reports
,
and
at
each
corner
of
that
conveyance
shall
be
a
hole
to
passe
into
those
lower
towers
,
so
that
by
that
time
all
the
reports
are
fired
,
the
towers
shall
be
all
on
fire
;
then
at
the
end
of
that
conveyance
,
(
as
I
said
before
)
let
your
conveyance
for
your
rockets
bee
placed
,
which
taking
fire
orderly
,
will
conclude
the
worke
.
These
and
the
like
are
for
the
pleasure
of
princes
and
great
personages
,
rather
then
for
the
vulgar
.

let
those

be
put
full
of
small
pinnes
,
and
a
girt
put
round
about
them
,
to
the
end
that
the
rowlers
moving
circular
,
may
draw
the
girt
in
a
straight
line
,
then
placing
some
antike
Figures
on
the
girt
(
so
that
they
may
move
about
with
it
)
place
your
fire
wheeles
upon
the
axeltree
of
each
rowler
,
providing
another
rowler
at
each
end
to
make
it
slide
more
easily
;
so
firing
the
said
wheeles
,
you
shall
see
the
antikes
come
one
out
of
one
doore
,
and
the
other
at
the
other
doore
,
meeting
in
the
midst
;
and
when
they
come
at
the
contrary
end
,
they
make
a
returne
with
their
heads
downeward
,
and
come
up
againe
at
the
same
doores
they
went
first
out
of
,
which
will
continue
running
,
so
long
as
the
fire
wheeles
continue
.
And
when
the
wheeles
stand
still
,
the
reports
shall
goe
off
on
each
tower
one
against
another
,
which
shall
be
done
after
this
manner
:
let
one
of
the
spoakes
of
both
your
wheeles
be
hollow
,
and
also
part
of
the
axeltree
,
which
let
be
filled
with
powder
dust
,
and
the
rocket
which
fires
last
,
shall
be
placed
over
that
spoake
which
hath
the
vent
,
with
a
piece
of
cotton
wicke
to
fire
it
,
so
will
it
runne
downe
thorow
the
axeltree
,
which
(
as
I
said
)
must
be
hollow
,
and
must
have
paper
pasted
over
it
,
so
that
as
soone
as
the
fire
comes
there
,
it
breakes
thorow
the
paper
,
and
fires
a
traine
which
is
laid
round
about
it
,
which
traine
passeth
to
a
standing
conveyance
,
which
goeth
up
to
the
battlements
,
and
so
giveth
fire
to
those
reports
;
which
having
past
each
corner
,
the
lower
tower
shall
fire
as
it
passeth
,
and
from
thence
passe
to
an
inner
conueiance
,
which

PRepare

axeltree
of

likewise
must
there
bee

must
be
so
fitted

that
they
may
draw
these
wheeles
about

which
if
they
be
well
fitted

will
move
them
with

the

these
must
be
placed
behinde

which
you

Now
you
must
note
that
your
fire
wheele
moving
once
about
,
moveth
but
one
tooth
of
your
other
wheele
by

of
the
screw

drawes
him

so
that
if

How
to
make
a
Dragon
,
or
any
other
creature
to
run
on
the
Line
,
by
the
help
of
fire
:
LET
your
Dragon
be
made
either
of
pasteboard
,
or
else
of
fine
rods
,
such
as
your
Basketmakers
use
;
which
must
bee
made
hollow
,
with
a
place
in
the
belly
to
put
in
two
rockets
,
and
shall
bee
so
ordered
,
that
there
may
come
a
small
pipe
from
the
tayle
of
one
,
to
the
head
of
the
other
;
then
make
a
place
in
the
eyes
,
and
mouth
,
to
put
into
each
hole
fire
,
which
shall
be
made
up
in
rowled
paper
,
and
thrust
in
;
then
on
the
top
of
the
back
let
there
bee
fastned
two
small
pulleys
for
the
line
to
run
in
,
which
being
done
,
your
Dragon
is
finished
,
to
firing
,
which
must
be
thus
;
first
fire
it
at
the
eyes
,
and
mouth
,
(
alwayes
noting
,
that
this
receipt
must
be
some
slow
mixture
,
such
as
your
starres
)
then
fire
that
rocket
which
is
placed
with
his
mouth
toward
the
tayle
of
the
Dragon
,
which
will
make
it
seem
to
cast
fire
from
thence
,
till
hee
come
to
the
end
of
his
motion
;
and
then
on
a
sudden
,
as
a
creature
wounded
with
some
accident
,
shall
return
with
fire
coming
forth
of
his
belly
,
which
being
well
ordered
,
will
give
great
content
.
The
form
of
this
you

finde
in

Another
way
for
making
a
fiery
Dragon
to
passe
on
the
line
without
the
help
of
fire
.
IN
the
former
Chapter
,
I
spake
of
a
Dragon
of
a
small
size
,
of
a
foot
in
length
,
or
thereabout
;
now
I
come
to
speak
of
those
of
a
greater
magnitude
,
which
cannot
so
easily
bee
forced
with
fire
,
in
a
straight
line
,
without
some
artificiall
help
;
for
Art
must
bee
alwayes
as
a
handmaid
attending
on
Nature
,
to
help
her
in
her
work
;
therefore
having
prepared
a
large
dragon
,
you
must
make
divers
hollow
truncks
of
wood
,
within
the
body
,
which
shall
bee
to
cast
out
fire
,
and
on
a
sudden
divers
small
bals
of
fire
,
other
times
a
great
number
of
small
fisgigs
.
Now
to
make
this
run
on
the
line
,
you
must
have
a
hollow
trunck
fastned
on
the
back
,
between
the
wings
of
your
dragon
,
which
must
bee
somewhat
bigger
than
your
cord
,
with
a
small
hole
thorow
each
end
;
the
use
of
those
small
holes
is
,
to
fasten
a
small
cord
,
which
must
be
so
fastned
,
that
one
end
thereof
must
bee
fastned
at
the
head
of
the
Dragon
,
and
so
passe
over
a
pulley
;
(
which
pulley
shall
bee
fastned
at
the
end
of
the
line
)
and
returning
thorow
that
hollow
trunck
in
the
back
,
it
shall
be
put
over
another
pulley
at
the
other
end
of
the
line
,
and
so
making
a
return
,
shall
be
fastned
to
the
hole
in
the
hinder
part
of
the
trunck
.
Now
one
of
these
pulleys
shall
have
a
handle
or
winch
to
turn
it
about
,
which
shall
cause
the
dragon
to
move
,
and
shall
be
a
help
to
the
drawing
of
it
backward
and
forward
at
your
pleasure
;
after
this
manner
you
may
form
many
works
on
the
line
,
which
otherwise
cannot
be
done
.
The
form
of
this
is
set

diameter

only
leaving
a
bottom
of
an
inch
thick
,
and
likewise
a
place
underneath
to
put
in
your
club
staffe
,
the
length
of
this
trunck
may
be
eighteen
inches
;
then
draw
a
circular
or
spiral
line
,
from
the
top
to
the
bottom
,
which
let
bee
in
the
manner
of
a
screw
,
every
thred
being
an
inch
and
a
halfe
asunder
,
and
in
that
line
boare
small
holes
,
(

your
fisgigs
)
till
you
come
within
a
quarter
of
an
inch
of
the
bottom
of
each
hole
;
and
then
pierce
it
with
a
small
piercer
,
till
you
come
to
the
soule
of
the
trunck
.
Having
done
this
,
make
small
wyers
fit
to
each
hole
,
which
let
be
fastned
,
so
that
they
may
stand
opposite
to
the
said
holes
,
within
two
inches
off
from
each
hole
;
the
use
of
them
is
,
to
keep
your
fisgigs
more
upright
and
steaddy
,
which
otherwise
would
bee
apt
to
fall
out
,
by
reason
they
must
bee
put
in
very
slack

or
else
they
would
not
so
easily
come
forth
,
when
they
should
,
then
load
your
trunck
with
the
slow
mixture
appointed
in
the
former
chapter
(
for
a
trunck
)
and
put
in
your
fisgigs

priming
each

likewise
each
hole
,

so
firing
it
at
the
top
,
you
shall
finde
them
come
forth
one

your
trunck
burneth
downwards
,

shall
scatter
abroad
after

then
having
boared
your

cut
so
many
hollow
groofes
with
a
googe

halfe
round
chisell

fit
them

breakers
of
paper

place
so
many
reports
round

your

How
to
make
a
water
ball
,
which
shall
burn

water
,
with
great
violence

FIrst
,
having
considered
of
what
bignesse
you
will
have
your
ball
,
take
the
circumference
and
halfe
it
,
and
of
that
halfe
make
a
circle
,
which
cutting
out
in
strong
canvas
,
shall
bee
halfe
a
case
,
so
that
sewing
two
of
them
together
,
they
shall
make
a
case
according
to
your
desire
;
For
Example
;
I
have
a
ball
to
make
whose
diameter
is
six
inches
,
then
the
circumference
(
being
as
seven
to
twenty
two
)
must
be
18
6/●
,
so
the
halfe
will
bee
9
3/7
,
which
must
bee
the
diameter
of
your
cloth
,
and
must
bee
made
true
round
,
so
that
sewing
two
together
,
and
making
a
case
thereof
,
it
shall
bee
almost
six
inches
,
which
the
arming
will
make
good
;
having
made
your
case
,
you
shall
proceed
to
the
filling
of
it
,
which
shall
be
done
after
this
manner
;
you
shall
first
put
in
three
or
foure
good
spoonfuls
of
your
mixture
,
and
then
with
a
stick
(
made
round
at
one
end
)
force
it
close
together
,
and
so
continue
filling
it
,
and
between
every
filling
put
in
your
stick
,
and
force
it
together
,
rounding
it
continually
in
your
hand
,
till
such
time
you
have
finished
it
;
which
having
done
,
sew
it
up
close
,
and
then
arm
it
with
small
cord
,
which
is
called
marling
;
after
you
have
done
that
,
you
shall
coat
it
with
a
quantity
of
rosin
,
pitch
,
and
tallow
dissolved
,
and
so
your
ball

with
halfe
a

the

that

starre
which
may

so
filling
it

then
fill
it
up

lyeth

alwaies
provided
you
pierce
it
not
too
deepe
,
that
your

breake
not

appointed
time
:
then
when
you
would
use
it
,
loade
your
morter
piece
with

powder
,
putting
after
a
wadd

tampion

put
on

:
so
elevating
your
piece
toward
the
Zenith
,
you
may
proceed
to
the
firing
of
it
,
which
must
be
after
this
manner
:
provide
two
matches
ready
lighted
,
having
one
in
each
hand
,
and
first
fire
your
ball
with
one
hand
,
and
presently
give
fire
to
your

,
alwaies
holding
your

horizontall
line
of

,
for
feare
the

annoy
you
:
this
having
done

you
shall
see
your

mount
very

taile
of
fire
,
and
when

THis
ball
must
be
made
of
wood
,
according
as
I
have
formerly
shewed
you
,
onely
it
must
be
made
proportionable
to
the
piece
,
and
moreover
the
vent
which
in
the
other
is
required
to
be
a
slow
mixture
,
in
this
must
bee
more
swift
,
in
regard
it
would
otherwise
continue
till
it
came
to
the
ground
,
wherefore
the
mixtute
that
this
ball
shall
be
filled
with
,
shall
be
the
same
that
your
rockets
of
one
pound
are
,
which
is
4
℥
of
coledust
to
a
pound
of
powder
,
and
one
ounce
of
saltpeter
.
These
must
be
well
mealed
,
and
likewise
must
be
close
driven
,
otherwise
it
will
consume
too
fast
.
This
ball
may
bee
made
somewhat
cillindricall
,
in
regard
of
the
length
of
the
rockets
to
be
placed
in
it
,
as
you
have
made
this
for
to
cast
forth
once
,
so
you
may
make
another
to
cast
forth
twise
,
as
I
have
formerly
shewed
you
for
the
water
ball

How
to
make
the

THis

to
be
formed
divers

if
you
will
make
one
of
an
ordinary
length

proceed
as
followeth
:
Let
the
body
bee
made
of
light
rods
,
such
as
basket-makers
use
,
and
in
the
center
of
the
body
,
let
there
be
placed
an
axeltree
,
having
too
wheeles
comming
into
the
water
;
yet
so
as
they
may
not
be
seene
;
these
wheeles
must
be
made
hollow
,
to
containe
a
quantity
of
sand
or
water
;
the
use
of
it
is
to
keepe
the
Sirene
upright
,
and
also
to
sinke
it
so
farre
into
the
water
as
is
needfull
,
and
likewise
to
make
it
goe
more
steady
;
note
that
these
wheeles
must
bee
loose
,
and
the
axeltree
fast
;
in
the
midst
of
this
axeltree
,
place
three
or
foure
great
rockets
,
one
by
another
with
their
mouthes
all
one
way
,
yet
so
provide
,
that
there
may
be
such
a
distance
betweene
each
rocket
,
that
there
may
come
a
vent
from
the
taile
of
the
first
,
to
the
mouth
of
the
second

and
from
the
second
to
the
third

and
to
the
end
that
it

continue
the
longer

,
you
may
place
divers
lights
about
the

there
place
two
Castles
the
one
opposite
to
the

,
which
Castles
shall
be
eight
foot
square
,
these
Castles
shall
be
fitted
with
motions
,
as
I
have
formerly
shewed

to
the
angles
of
each
Castle
are
placed
two
lines
,
with
runners
which
take
fire
,
and
passe
to

fro
;
note
the
end
of
those
lines
must
be
perfect
wyer
,
or
else
the
fire
would
burne
them
,
then
on
the

side
behinde
the
motions
,
shall
stand

you
shall
seeke
the

which
shall
bee

as
well
fire
bals
,
as
rockets
,
with
divers
small
Ordnance
to
give
a
more
grace
to

worke
;
this
being
provided
,
you
shall
also
make
another
Castle
on
the
water
,
on
certain
boats
chained
and
lying
at
anchor
,
these
shall
bee
set
at
a
reasonable
distance
from
the
other
,
about
twenty
score

or
as
your
place
will
permit
:
in
this
Castle
likewise
you
shall
provide
workes
,
as
in
the
other
,
onely
this
Castle
may
not
be
so
big
as
that
on
shoare
,
then
you
shall
provide
divers
small
ships
,
which
shall
be
ready
to
make
a
sea
fight
:
these
shall
be
so
divided
,
that
the
greater
part
may
belong
to
the
smaller
Castle
on
the
water
,
and
likewise
for
surprising
that
on

land
;
likewise
you
may
have
motions
passing
from
one
Castle
to
another
,
as
I
have
formerly
shewed
you
for

water
;
amongst
the
rest
you
shall
have
some
small
fire
ship
,
such
as
I
have
shewed
you
,
which
shall
have
divers
motions
:
now
there
are
many
actions
to
be
performed
by
these
workes

as
casting
bals
from
one
Castle
to
the
other

with
the
morter
pieces
,
likewise
sending
backe
rockets
to

all
which
I
leave
to

discretion

iudicious
workeman
;
and
because
I
will
not
trouble
you
with
prolixity
,
I
will
conclude
this
my
Pyrotechnia
;
onely
I
will
at
last
impart
that
which
is
not
the
least
,
which
is
the
making
of
certaine
Engines
for
trying
of
powder
,
of
which
I
shall
shew
you
foure
,
with
the
use
of
them
in
the
ensuing
Chapters

and
so
conclude

CHAP.

.
Of
the
use
of
certain
Engins
for
the
trying
of
the
goodnesse
or
strength
of
powder
.
BEfore
I
come
to
explaine
the
manner
of
making
those
Engins
,
I
will
shew
you
the
commodiousnesse
of
them
,
especially
in
these
works
;
for
hee
that
will
make
a
good
rocket
,
must
be
certain
of
the
strength
of
his
powder
,
which
if
it
bee
too
strong
,
will
break
;
if
too
weak
,
it
will
not
rise
to
that
heighth
it
should
;
which
,
I
must
confesse
,
hath
been
a
great
losse
of
labour
to
me
,
as
well
as
to
other
men
,
yet
if
men
will
be
so
carefull
and
take
that
paines
for
the
trying
their
powder
,
they
may
make
rockets
infallible
;
therefore
I
advise
every
man
that
will
work
sure
,
first
to
take
his
powder
,
be
it
what
it
will
,
and
allay
it
according
to
the
rules
prescribed
,
then
take
a
quantity
of
that
mixture
,
and
put
it
into
your
Engin
being
exactly
weighed
to
a
graine
,
then
drive
your
rocket
,
and
be
sure
to
follow
the
former
rules
prescribed
in
driving
your
rockets
,
which
being
finished
,
with
his
works
upon
his
head
,
you
may
fire
it
,
which
if
you
shall
finde
to
bee
too
violent
,
you
may
allay
by
putting
thereto
a
proportion
of
coale
,
and
so
try
it
again
,
till
such
time
you
finde
it
to
be
the
best
,
then
note
that
proportion
for
all
rockets
of
that
size
,
and
so
do
for
all
others
;
and
if
you
finde
your
mixture
yet
too
weak
,
adde
thereto
a
small
quantity
of
roch
peter
till
you
make
it
of
sufficient
strength
;
and
thus
doing
,
you
shall
have
a
certain
and
infallible
rule
for
your
proportions
:
I
could
set
down
the
proportions
according
to
my
Engins
,
but
that
would
prove
an
absurdity
,
in
regard
every
Engin
may
have
a
greater
or
lesser
strength
added
to
his
springs
,
or
the
like
,
as
you
shall

The
manner
of
making
the
aforesaid
Engines
for
trying
the
strength
of
powder
.
THE
first
is
made
in
a
circular
form
,
with
a
neck
comming
from
the
circumference
,
which
serves
for
a
lid
to
the
powder
box
,
which
box
shall
bee
made
to
hold
the
quantity
of
a
dram
of
powder
,
or
there
about
,
so
that
being
covered
with
the
lid
,
and
fired
,
will
blow
,
according
to
the
strength
of
the
powder
,
and
moving
,
will
turn
about
a
circle
of
brasse
,
which
is
divided
into
certain
equall
parts
,
and
so
will
shew
the
strength
according
to
the
part
it
cutteth
;
for
the
greater
the
degree
is
that
it
is
blown

Another
Engin
for
trying
of
powder
.
THE
lid
of
this
second
sort
is
made
to
rise
in
a
straight
line
,
and
hath
for
his
guide
two
square
pillars
of
brasse
,
divided
into
degrees
,
with
springs
to
keep
it
steaddy
in
this
motion
;
this
must
be
made
on

square
peece
of
brasse
,
with
the
small
box
in
the
midst
,
and
two
square
pillars
on
each
side
,
with
a
peece
of
brasse
to
slide
up
and
down
by
those
pillars
,
and
must
serve
for
a
cover
for
your
powder
box
;
this
peece
of
brasse
must
have
small
springs
,
which
must
go
to
each
side
of
the
square
to
guide
it
steaddy
in
the
motion
.

.
A
third
Engin
for
trying
the
strength
of
powder
.
THE
third
sort
are
made
somewhat
after
the
manner
of
the
former
,
which
is
to
rise
up
straight
,
only
it
hath
a
cover
hollow
as
big
as
the
box
,
and
on
each
side
of
the
cover
is
a
small
hole
for
a
wyer
to
passe
thorow
,
and
on
one
of
the
sides
are
little
peeces
of
steele
or
brasse
,
so
fitted
,
that
they
will
rise
with
a
touch
,
and
give
way
to
the
rising
of
the
lid
,
and
so
soon
as
it
is
past
,
will
hold
it
there
,
and
will
not
suffer
it
to
passe
down
any
further
;
this
I
hold
to
bee
the
best
of
the
three
,
in
regard
that
the
springs
in
the
former
are
subiect
to
grow
foule
with
use
,
and
so
will
be
very
stiffe
,
every
time
more
and
more
;
but
this
will
not
.

Another
Engin
for
trying
the
strength
of
powder
by
water
.
THE
fourth
,
and
most
certainest
way
of
all
,
is
by
water
,
and
is
thus
;
cause
a
small
vessell
to
be
made
of
brasse
,
and
very
tight
,
so
as
it
may
containe
a
pinte
of
water
;
let
this
vessell
bee
made
in
a
cillindricall
form
,
and
from
the
top
of
this
vessell
let
there
bee
made
a
pipe
of
brasse
,
which
shall
turne
like
the
siphon
,
and
shall
have
a
screw
at
the
lower
end
,
to
screw
into
a
box
of
brasse
;
all
which
shall
stand
on
a
woodden
frame
:
now
when
you
wil
use
this
,
you
shal
fil
this
great
vessel
halfe
ful
of
water
,
at
a
pipe
which
shal
come
from
the
bottom
,
and
come
up
to
the
top
winding
,
then
shal
there
be
likewise
another
vessel
underneath
for
a
receiver
,
so
that
putting
a
quantity
of
powder
into
the
smal
box
,
and
screwing
it
on
,
it
is
ready
;
then
fire
the
powder
,
and
you
shal
see
it
send
forth
a
quantity
of
water
,
which
you
shall
weigh
,
and
so
keep
the
weight
of
it
,
by
this
you
shal
know
what
quantity
of
powder
of
such
a
goodnesse
wil
send
forth
such
a
quantity
of
water
;
this
I
hold
to
be
the
certainest
way
,
although
the
most
troublesome
.

of
it
