The notes:

1 se lurinale ha da esser di terra ò di vetro
2 se le materie han da esser Calcinate o solo limate
3 quante hore di foco si ha da dar

Swedish translation (by Marie Louise Rodén):

1 om kärlet skall vara av jord (lera) eller av glas
2 om materian (eller stoffet) skall kalcineras (det vill säga, brännas till aska eller kalk) eller bara pulveriseras
3 hur många timmar av eld man skall ge
