Sublimation . (That is, a calling of the feuerall Parts, either vp, or dowue, 
which is akinde 0 {AttraSlion: ) By Adhefion 5 As when a Body more rtf 
com is mingled and agitated with the Liquor •, which Vilcous Body (after¬

By Percolation or Paffage. 
Secondly, for the Euen Difiributim of the Spirits • It is wrought by 
\ Gentle Heat 5 And by Agitation or Motion . (For of Time wee fpeake not,

It is in common PraAice, to draw wine, or Bee/e, from the Lees, 
(which we call Racking 5) whereby it will Clarific much the fooner : For 
the Lees , though they keepe the Drinke in Heart,and make it lafting;yet 
withall they caft vp fome Spiftitude : And this Inflame is to bee referred 
t ) Separation . 
On the other fide, it were goof to try, what the Adding to the Li¬ 
queur more Lees than his owne will worke •, For though the Lees doe 
make the Liquour turbidc, yet they refine the Spirits. Take therefore a 
Vefiell of New Re ere ; And take another VefTell of New Be ere, and Racke 
the one Veflell from the Lees, and powre the Lees of the Racked Vefiell 
into the vnracked Veflell, and fee the Effed i This In fiance is referred to 
the Refining ofthe Spirits. 
Take New Beere, and put in fome Quantity of Stale Seere into it, and 
fee whether it will not accelerate the Clarification, by Opening the Body 
of the Beere,and Cutting the Grofier Parts, whereby they may fall downe 
into Lees. And this Infiance againe is referred to Separation.
