That common Nitre is used in the making of Gun-powder, and other Fire-works, wants no Testimony, being a thing every where known.

As for this point, it is most certain, that by the mentioned Subject, various Manufactures may be perfected, which thing let no Man doubt; but there is no need here to particularize; let it suffice that I have verified (by the assistance of God) those things which I have named, and proposed to explain in that place.
