T he fecond principle is, that if water be firft poured into the il! juice, and the whole be then boiled, and the water, on account of its
fubtlety, be foon wafted, it is requifite that whatever remains after 1 II the evaporation [of the water] be boiled until two thirds of it be
wafted. If, on the contrary, the water and juice evaporate together,
it is in that cafe requifite that the mixture be boiled until two thirds Hi! of the whole evaporate, that the remaining third may be rendered H lawful; for here the third of the mixture of water and juice which ■ |1Iff ' remains becomes the fame as if, a third of the pure juice having remained,
water had then been poured into it. T o exemplify this:—
fuppofe a perfon fliould mix ten cups of juice with twenty cups of
water;— in that cafe, if the water purely evaporate, the mixture
1 muft be boiled until a ninth of it remain, which is equivalent to one third of the pure juice;—whereas, if the juice and water evaporate
conjundtly, the whole muft then be boiled until two thirds of it ‘in evaporate.
I f juice be boiled with fire*, at one or feveral different times,
before it be inebriating or prohibited, it is lawful. If, alfo, the juice,
being taken from the fire,' fhould continue to boil until two thirds of m m m it evaporate, it is lawful, as in this cafe the evaporation is the effect
o f the fire. j| T he third principle is, in boiling juice, after part of it has evaflig
porated, and part has likewife been poured out,— to know how much
Hi more muft evaporate, that the remaining part may be rendered lawfu
l;— and, in order to this, the following rule muft be obferved.—
The quantity which remains after part has been poured out muft be ttfj 8 multiplied by the third of the whole; and this fum being divided by the -quantity which remains after part of it only has evaporated, * T h e common method of making ftrong drink, among the JJiatics, is by fermenting
the juice in the fun.

the quotient is the quantity that is lawful. Thus, if a perfon boil
ten cups of juice, and after one cup had evaporated, three cups more
Should be poured out; then three cups and one third (the third of the
whole) being multiplied into fix, the number which remains after
the lofs of evaporation and pouring out amounts to twenty, and
this fum being divided by pine, there remains two cups and two
ninths';' the quantity which is lawful, when the reft has evaporated.
