   • l6ll, The Translaters, Authorized King James Version of The Holy Bible, Cambridge Edition, to the Reader:

     It (the Scripture) is not a pot of Manna or a cruse of oil, which were for memory only, or for a meal's meat or two; but as it were a shower of heavenly bread sufficient for a whole host, be it never so great, and as it were a whole cellar full of oil vessels; whereby all our necessities may be provided for, and our debts discharged. In a word, it is a panary of wholesome food against fenowed traditions; a physician's shop (St Basil calleth it) of preservatives against poisoned heresies; a pandect of profitable laws against rebellious spirits; a treasury of most costly jewels against beggarly rudiments; finally, a fountain of most pure water springing up unto everlasting life.

     When flour is made into a paste or dough by means of water, and yest added, as in the process of bread-making, the dough acquires sponginess, in consequence of being inflated in all parts by fixed air, or carbonic acid. It had been asserted, that, dough in this state, if distilled, does not afford alcohol, although it might have heen expected to do so, if the fermentation which it obviously has undergone were the vinous. It was, therefore, concluded to be a fermentation essentially different ; and from panis, bread, it was called the panary fermentation. It was afterwards ascertained, that infusion of malt mixed with yest, although it certainly undergoes the vinous fermentation, will not afford alcohol, if distilled during the beginning of the process, any more than the dough. But the question has been at length decided by the discovery of the fact, that fermented dough does actually afford alcohol when distilled ... Hence there are no grounds for doubting the identity of the panary with the vinous fermentation; the former is the incipient stage of the latter...
