TO make Starres, that each one shall giue a report like a Pistoll or bigger gunne, you must first make little saucissons (as I taught in the chapter following, but the saucis∣son need not to bee couered with chord) and being made and pierced, take as much of the former dry com∣position, and bind it to the end of the saucisson which is pierced, making a hole through the composition, and passe a piece of stoupell or cotten-wieke
as in the other starres; but if you take of the moyst composition, you may onely leaue the paper hol∣low at the end of the saucisson, fit∣ting to contain the quantity of com∣position required, putting a little grained powder before, and prime these starres as the others, of the same composition; these starres are very troublesome and little in vse, because that a great rocket can carry but few vp into the ayre, and by consequence worke but a small effect, and moreo∣uer they are very long in making. One may make Starres in the same manner, which ending, turne to ser∣pents and others as shall please the workeman.
