Vintners, I confesse, in these dayes are wont to iuggle and sophistically to abuse wines, namely, Alligant, Muscadell, and browne Bastard, but you shall perceiue theyr deceite by this meanes; take a few drops of the wine, and powre them vpon a
hot plate of yron, and the wine being resol∣ued, the honey will remaine and thicken. If you suspect your wine to be mingled with wa∣ter, you shall discerne the same by putting a peare into it: for if the peare swimme vpon the face of the wine, and sinke not to the bot∣tome, then it is perfect and vnmingled, but if it sinke to the bottome, water without doubt is added vnto it.
