IN this chapter, my intention is not to treate of the sau∣cisson which flyes into the ayre, but only of that which stands firme in great workes, or else which is applyed to rockets, which thus is made as followeth; you must haue a rowler of such bignes as you desire to haue the concauity of your saucisson, wherupon rowle as much paper as you please, and then choake
it at the one end; which done, fill it with grayned powder, & choake the ••ther end also, and cover all the sau∣••isson from the one end to the other, with small chord, as doth represent ••he figure I. chap. 3. and glue that ••ord with strong glue all ouer, and when you would make vse of these ••aucissons, pierce them at the end with your bodkin, and put into the ••ole a quill filled with fine powder dust, which shall serue for a portfire, and the other end of the quill shall passe through a board, whereupon you meane to fasten them, and shall enter into a portfire in the other side of the wood, which shall be fastned all along the wood, and so may you fasten what store you please neere together, or farre asunder, this quill is represented by the figure L, and
by this meanes one end of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 fire beginning; all the whole ran•• of saucissons will giue their repor•• one after the other. But if your sa••••cisson is to be applied to a rocket, shall onely be pierced at one end, a•••• primed with a little grained powde•• and fasten it to the top of the rock•• either with paper, parchment, or an•• thing else, so that the rocket, endi•• the saucissō, may take fire; so shal yo•• not faile of your intent or designe.
