And this is to be fo often repeated until the Pile is 
perforated every-where with fmall Holes: Then it 
muft be dawbed over with Varnifi in the hotted Sun 
(the Varnifh is imbibed by the foft Wood with fo 
many Holes in it) j and while the Varnijh is yet hot, 
let it be ftrewed over with Brkk-duft : And this is 
to be repested three or four times, after the pre- 
ceding Varnijh is thorough dry, till the Pile is intirely 
furrounded with a ftony Cruft, which will be im- 
penetrable to all Infeds, and laft many Years. 
But the Divine Clemency has already fo far de- 
ftroyed thefe pernicious Infeds, which multiplied fo 
prodigioufly for eight or nine Years paft, that there is 
great room for Hope, that our Country will in a 
(hort time be intirely freed from them.
