be ſet into; alſo to containe any matter it ſelfe that is to be diſtilled, or digeſted.
- A glaſſe veſſell ſtanding in digeſtion.
- A narrow mouthed ſtopple to be put into the candleſtick to keep the candle upright, and that muſt be made of tin, with boles in it.
- The Cover for the veſſell D, which is to be put upon it when any thing is decocted, or kept warme in it.
- A Still head to put upon the veſſell D, when you would diſtill any thing in it.
Note that if you make all theſe veſſells large you may doe many conſiderable things without much labour, or trouble.
In the veſſell D, if it be large, you may ſtew meat, which if you put in at night and cover it cloſe, you may have it ready for your breakfaſt in the morning, and ſo according to the time you put it in you may have it for dinner or ſupper. Alſo you may keep any thing warme in the night, and at all times, and divers ſuch uſes as theſe it may be uſed for.
Note that the candle will still riſe up till it be quite burned out, and an ordinary candle will laſt twice as long this way as it will out of the water.
If you would have one candle laſt a long time as twelve or twenty hours, you muſt either make your candleſtick very long that it may containe a long candle, or make your candle big and the wick ſmall, or make your candle of ſuch matter as will not preſently be conſumed.
Note alſo that if you would have a great heat, your candle must be great, and alſo the wick thereof great; but if gentle, let your candle be ſmall.
