The

Chapter
.
MAny
needeth
as
much
of
oyles
as
waters
,
vnto
the
benefite
and
preseruation
of
health
,
as
for
other
necessarye
commodityes
of
bodie
,
besydes
.
For
seeing
of
these
which
wée
nowe
possesse
,
that
certaine
especially
auaile
to
healthfull
persons
,
for
the
preseruation
and
maynteynaunce
of
the
health
of
bodye
,
as
those
on
which
we
féede
,
by
which
a
helpe
to
be
cloathed
,
and
defended
by
shoes
,
and
that
strengthen
our
bodyes
,
as
well
as
certayne
helping
the
sycke
:
and
others
also
there
be
of
such
sorte
,
which
both
auayle
to
the
healthfull
,
and
sicke
personnes
,
as
the
oyle
Olyue
doth
:
which
as
Galen
wytnesseth
,
is
of
such
condicion
,
that
the
same
so
necassarilye
serueth
the
healthfull
,
as
the
sicke
persons
,
in
applying
of
it
as
well
within
,
as
without
the
bodye
:
For
among
those
medycines
,
which
are
applyed
on
the
outwarde
partes
,
the
Oyles
beare
not
the
least
swaye
,
as
well
this
symple
,
as
the
compounde
oyles
.
And
the
vse
of
them
is
verye
often
,
insomuch
that
wée
are
occasioned
and
procured
sometymes
to
vse
them
alone
,
but
wée
often
are
mooued
to
vse
them
in
the
making
of
oyntments
,
Ceroltes
,
and
playsters
.
And
there
be
oyles
and
oyntmentes
,
that
not
onelye
for
theyr
consistencie
or
styfnesse
,
but
for
theyr
neere
agreeing
in
vertue
,
that
the
oyles
are
often
named
of
Dioscorides
oyntinentes
,
as
is
the
oyntment
Nardinum
Mastichinum
,
and
such
lyke
,
which
many
rather
name
oyles
than
oyntmentes
,
Yet
many
kyndes
of
oyles
there
bee
.
But
that
(
of
Galen
)
is
named
symplye
and
properlye
an
oyle
,
which
is
pressed
out
of
r●pe
Olyues
,
and
is
free
in
a
maner
of
any
quality
excéeding
.
And
for
that
cause
,
the
●●me
i●
not
onely
most
profitable
,
and
〈◊〉
vnto
the
composition
of
many
medy
●i●es●
▪
that
of
them
with
which
it
is
my●ed
,
it
●as●ly●
〈…〉
but
for
that
it
ma●e
also
be●●
〈◊〉
by
it selfe
,
and
alone
within
the
bodie
,
vnto
the
●uryng
of
sundrie
disseases
.
Yea
an
oyle
is
,
many
tymes
pressed
out
of
gréene
O●yu●s
,
which
they
●auie
oyl●●in●●acine
that
hath
the
propertie
of
rooling
and
binding●
which
nowe
as
a
matter
of
ot●er
medycines
▪
lyke
the
swete
▪
can
not
bee
.
So
that
these
two
▪
be
properlie
and
trulye
named
oyles
.
And
as
touching
the
o●ders
,
of
which
we
fullye
and
at
large
intreate
in
this
booke
(
for
that
an
oyle
is
here
named
to
be
the
same
,
whatsoeuer
iuyce
is
fattie
and
oylie
)
are
named
oyles
through
a
certayne
symilitude
,
as
be
the
oy●●e
and
running
●●●ees
,
pressed
out
,
distylled
,
or
wrought
and
done
by
any
other
order
and
maner
,
out
of
fruites
,
se●des
beaten
,
and
kernelles
,
as
of
●a●ill
nuttes
,
the
Indiane
nutte
,
Almonds
,
Balano
merepfica
,
mustard
seedes
,
Lyne
seedes
,
Ricini
,
and
such
lyke
.
And
such
oyles
are
made
,
after
many
orders
and
maners
:
for
certayne
are
made
by
pressing
out
,
and
others
onely
by
impression
(
as
Mesue
nameth
and
termeth
it
)
as
when
●●mple
medycines
,
boyled
,
stieped
,
in
common
oyle
,
doe
leaue
theyr
vertues
in
it
.
But
certayne
are
done
by
a
Chymisticall
resolution
,
as
when
that
which
is
oylie
in
all
partes
,
is
then
by
the
force
of
fyre
resolued
by
distyllation
.
And
these
maner
of
oyles
be
most
vehement
in
working
,
and
verye
thynne
.
A
man
maye
also
by
the
bene●ite
of
fyre
,
drawe
a
kynde
of
oyle
,
in
a
maner
out
of
all
thinges
,
yet
out
of
some
a
plentifuller
yeelde
,
and
out
of
other
some
a
lesser
yeelde
:
in
which
this
is
a
peculiar
among
the
rest
,
that
by
a
marueylous
thynnesse
of
the
essence
,
which
they
receyued
through
the
fyre
,
that
doe
most
spedilye
penetrate
or
pierce
into
the
déepe
partes
,
and
doe
most
spedily
offer
and
shew
theyr
vertues
:
lyke
as
those
oyles
,
which
the
Alchymistes
drawe
out
of
Brymstone
,
vitryoll
,
Tyles
,
and
such
lyke
.
For
all
these
haue
greater
vertues
,
then
those
,
from
which
they
are
drawne
.
Further
vnderstande
,
that
two
matters
or
poyntes
especially
are
required
in
the
drawing
out
of
oyles
fyrst
,
that
the
substance
haue
plentie
or
sufficient
water
powred
vpon
,
that
the
same
may
so
be
lyfted
and
caryed
vpwarde
,
through
which
it
maye
the
lesse
be
burned
,
or
consumed
.
The
other
is
,
that
eyther
the
head
,
that
pype
,
or
long
nose
,
be
continually
cooled
,
with
most
cold
water
,
standing
in
some
apt
vessell
fast
by
.
Which
two
necessary
helpes
yeeld
&
giue
this
vse
,
that
the
spyrites
of
the
oyle
,
which
be
very
subtyll
and
most
hote
,
that
as
soone
as
they
inflame
and
mightilye
heate
in
a
burning
maner
the
headde
,
they
forthwith
by
the
cooling
are
repressed
,
and
conuerted
into
an
oyle
.
Of
the
distyllacion
of
Oyles
by
an
instrument
named
a
bladder
.
The
.ij.
Chapter
.
FIrst
let
a
vessell
be
made
of
potters
earth
,
of
a
finger
thyckenesse
,
that
it
maye
be
the
stronger
and
surer
,
which
frame
after
the
forme
of
an
Egge
,
with
that
head
(
as
it
were
)
cut
awaye
,
as
this
fygure
here
plainer
demonstrateth
.
And
make
the
same
of
what
largenesse
,
and
bygnesse
you
wyll
:
yet
seeing
for
two
poundes
of
spyces
,
there
ought
twentie
pyntes
of
water
be
powred
vpon
(
and
that
the
Copper
vessell
must
so
be
fylled
,
that
a
thyrde
parte
or
a
lyttle
lesse
be
lefte
emptie
)
euen
as
by
this
quantitie
which
seenieth
a
meane
,
you
wyll
distyll
in
it
oyther
more
or
lesse
,
make
the
bygnesse
accordinglye
of
the
earthen
vessell
:
in
whose
bottome
let
fyne
Sande
be
powred
,
vnto
the
thicknesse
of
a
finger
,
or
rather
two
fingers
,
and
round
about
the
bodie
,
for
the
drawing
of
oyles
,
out
of
spyces
and
seedes
:
but
for
hearbes
,
this
maner
needeth
not
.
2.
The
vessell
thus
prepared
of
chosen
earth
,
purged
,
well
and
faste
wrought
togyther
,
and
through
dryed
,
&c.
as
all
other
potte●●
are
woont
(
yet
scarcely
prepared
at
the
three
wéekes
en●●
)
&
mak●
your
Furnace
in
largenesse
,
according
to
the
compasse
of
the
pot
,
of
Tyles
only
,
(
for
the
potte
whyles
it
is
thus
baked
,
is
drawne
and
shruncke
togyther
much
,
and
for
that
cause
the
same
ought
before
to
be
thus
handled
)
hauing
a
deepe
foundation
:
and
a●round
hole
framed
to
the
bottome
,
hauing
a
grate
made
within
,
aboue
which
,
fyxe
hygher
by
halfe
a
foote
,
two
barres
lying
crosse
,
on
which
set
or
let
the
bottome
of
the
potte
stand
,
and
let
the
Furnace
ryse
and
be
aboue
the
bottome
of
the
potte
,
that
is
,
aboue
the
yron
barres
,
one
foote
and
a
halfe
,
or
lytle
les●e
.
3.
Within
the
potte
,
set
a
large
Copper
vessell●
according
to
the
quantity
of
the
water
(
as
for
two
pounds
of
spyces
,
let
twentie
pyntes
of
water
be
powred
vpon
)
in
such
s●r●
,
that
the
empty●nesse
round
about
,
be
fylled
with
Sand
a
finger
and
a
halfe
hygh
.
This
vessell
with
the
head
shall
stande
and
be
aboue
the
Sande
,
halfe
a
foote
almost
.
4.
Let
the
helmet
or
head
aboue
be
rounde
,
and
not
sharpe
poynted
,
that
the
vapour
fall
not
againe
downwarde
,
nor
that
the
head
be
cooled
with
water
,
nor
hath
any
edge
or
gutter
.
For
being
on
such
wys●
,
all
the
vapour
wyll
yssue
and
passe
spéedily
and
forth
with
into
the
pype
.
If
the
head
nowe
should
be
cooled
,
the
vapours
there
gathered
,
would
●uer
soone
be
thyckened
,
and
fall
also
backward
:
or
else
this
also
otherwyse
hyndered
,
by
this
maner
in
the
distylling
of
oyles
.
For
that
cause
must
be
c●nsydered
and
knowne
,
howe
the
crookednesse
of
the
nose
ought
to
be
,
according
to
the
standing
and
space
of
the
place
,
that
the
pype
fastened
to
the
nose
of
the
head
,
maye
aptlye
passe
and
retche
through
the
Fyrkin
or
other
vessell
of
water
,
&c.
5.
Let
the
pype
be
long
,
in
a
maner
sixe
foote
,
and
let
it
passe
or
retche
through
the
tubbe
or
vessell
fylled
with
colde
water
.
6.
Let
the
fyre
fyrst
or
at
the
begynning
,
be
made
somewhat
great
:
after
that
by
lytle
and
lytle
abated
or
lessened
,
but
let
it
be
kept
in
an
equall
force
of
heate
.
The
oyle
wyll
come
forth
togyther
,
with
the
water
,
and
flewme
,
&c.
Some
part
of
it
setleth
vnder
the
water
,
and
another
parte
swymmeth
aboue
,
and
the
oyle
also
may
be
seperated
.
The
water
then
may
be
distylled
agayne
,
and
that
which
shall
fyrst
come
,
wyll
be
the
swéetest

The

Chapter

THe
seperation
of
an

,
maye
aptlie
be
done
from

,
eyther
with
a
syluer
spone

especiallye
if
the

shall
swym
on

or
otherwyse
which
is
by
a
more
dilygence
&
skill
,
in
preparing
a
peculyar
instrument
or
funnel
of
glasse
,
seruing
to
the
same
purpose
,
as
is
this
instrument
or
funnel
,
here
placed
,
right
against

which
hath
in
the
bottom
a
hole
stopped
with
waxe
▪

hauing
three
smal
pypes
contained
in

,
as
the
one
retching

another
to
that
midle
of
it

&
the
thyrde
to
the

of
it
.
But
further
doth
Bessonius
vtter
,
in
his
lytle
treatyse
of
the
drawing
of
oyles
,
after
this
manner
.
Fyrst
,
he
willeth
the
practisioner
,
to
consider
&
learne
that
the
receauer
ought
to
be
made
somwhat
sharpe
toward
the
bottom
,
&
to
be
like
the
poynt
of
a
thing
bored
or
stricken
through
,
with
many
strokes
of
a
small
punchin
or
smal
nayle
.
This
hole
then
in
the
tyme
of
the
distyllacion
,
stoppe
dilygentlye
with
wrought
waxe
.
The
water
&
oyle
after
distylled
,
&
set
a
tyme
to
coole
in
the
ayre
,
marke
then
in
the
cleare
receauer
of
glasse
,
what
place
the
oyle
occupyeth
in
the
water
.
Which
you
shall
well
perceyue
,
by
the
dyuersitie
of
the
colour
.
That
if
the
same
occupyeth
the
bottome
,
in
taking
or
plucking
away
of
the
waxe
from
the
hole
of
the
receauer
,
forthwith
doeth
the
oyle
yssue
or
runne
into
the
viall
or
glasse
set
vnder
,
&
the
water
wyll
rest
behynd
:
if
so
be
you
mynd
to
kéepe
,
or
to
stay
the
water
,
by
stopping
the
hole
spéedily
with
waxe
.
But
if
the
oyle
occupyeth
aboue
the
water
,
then
in
opening
the
hole
agayne
,

WHat
a
true
Baulme
is
,
&
whether
the
same
also
be
knowne
to
be
at
this
daye
,
is
throughly
vttered
and
opened
by
the
Aucthour
in
a
proper
chapter
of
the
first
part
of
his
worke
.
Therfore
our
minde
in
this
place
is
,
to
vtter
and
intreate
of
the
artificiall
Baulme
,
which
by
a
certayne
imytacion
and
nere
agréeing
in
the
vse
of
the
true
Baulme
,
was
of
the
same
(
at
the
first
)
inue●●te●
,
and
put
in
vre
,
of
the
auncient
practissoners
.
For
when
they
wayed
and
understoode
,
that
both
the
one
&
the
other
were
falsyfied
by
the
counterfayters
,
and
that
those
compound
lycours
which
were
solde
and
mynistred
to
men
,
neyther
agréed
in
substaunce
nor
properties
by
any
maner
to
the
true
Baulme
,
were
upon
the
occasion
the
earnest
lier
moued
,
for
the
auoyding
of
such
an
end
●nyt●●e
and
great
harme
,
&
that
such
a
treasure
especiallie
shoulde
no
longer
lye
hyd
and
vnknowne
to
men
,
vpon
this
good
and
so
reasonable
consideration
,
they
applyed
theyr
wyttes
&
industrye
,
to
the
attayning
and
trying
out
of
a
lycour
,
nearest
aunswering
in
properties
of
the
precious
Baulme
.
And
for
that
they
might
the
commodiousser
perfourme
and
bring
it
to
passe
,
inuented
to
vs
a
certayne
generall
kinde
▪
of
the
qualityes
and
properties
of
the
true
and
naturall
Baulme
.
And
s●ing
by
nature
the
Baulme
is
most
hote
,
and
piersing
,
and
indued
with
a
mightie
propertie
and
drying
,
or
that
mightylie
●ryeth
of
propertie
,
for
that
cause
especiallie
this
maye
preserue
bodyes
verye
long
from
putrifying
,
being
annoynted
with
it
,
and
put
of
old●
age
or
mayntaine
youth
a
long
tyme
:
for
the
perfourming
of
which
,
they
chose
symple
〈…〉
of
lyke
propertie
,
so
nyghe
as
they
coulde
purchase
,
which
myrte
might
yéelde
the
lyke
faculties
,
so
aptlye
as
arte
coulde
matche
them
.
Of
which
kynde
,
that
be
principallest
,
are
the
Myrre
,
the
Olybanum
,
Frankensence
,
and
Aloes
.
The
next
to
these
,
be
the
Turpentyne
,
and
Aqua
vitae
.
The
thyrde
sorte
are
these
,
the
gumme
yuie
,
Galbanum
,
●yquide
stor●●
,
the
Woodde
Aloes
or
Lignum
aloes
,
&c.
But
from
the
purpose
these
disagrée
not
,
as
the
Galingale
,
the
Nutmegges
,
the
Cloues
,
and
many
others
of
lyke
kynde
.
For
all
these
being
gathered
into
one
,
by
an
artificiall
coniecture
matching
,
was
so
made
,
that
of
all
these
myxed
togyther
,
by
a
iu●●
proportion
,
in
the
Chymisticall
arte
,
they
drewe
an
oyle
,
which
in
faculties
and
consistence
,
was
most
lyke
and
nearest
agréeing
to
the
true
Baulme
.
These
hytherto
agréeing
in
a
maner
,
to
the
wordes
&
minde
of
Leonarde
Fiorauant
,
in
the
making
of
the
artificiall
Baulme
.
So
that
to
the
making
of
the
artificiall
baulme
,
is
necessarily
required
▪
that
the
Turpentine
of
it selfe
,
with
the
essence
(
of
wyne
)
be
only
〈◊〉
in
Balneo
:
the
other
spyces
after
dyssolued
in
the
essence
,
and
with
the
abouesayd
oyle
of
Turpentyne
,
by
Balneum
againe
distylled
For
wrought
in
ashes
or
sand
.
doth
a
grose
oyle
ascende
,
euen
with
a
most
soft
and
easie
fyre
,
so
that
the
same
in
the
receauer
come
is
then
nothing
woorth
.
If
so
be
you
desyre
or
would
perfitelie
knowe
,
a
good
and
true
Baulme
,
from
an
euyll
and
falsyfied
,
then
after
the
mynde
of
Fallopius
(
in
his
secretes
)
cast
or
instyll
certayne
droppes
of
the
Baulme
into
cleare
water
,
and
with
a
stycke
labour
well
the
water
▪
that
if
the
water
then
be
troubled
,
the
Baulme
is
not
perfite
:
but
contrariwyse
,
the
water
if
it
shall
abyde
cleare
,
then
is
the
same
true
and
good
,
and
doth
gather
it selfe
alwaye●
into
one
place
.
It
is
to
be
considered
and
noted
,
that
out
of
thrée
poundes
of
Turpentyne
,
myxed
with
one
handfull
of
Salt
,
and
a
lytle
of
the
essence
of
wyne
,
are
fowre
ounces
and
a
halfe
of
the
oyle
of
Turpentyne
,
distylled
and
gotten
in
Balneo
Mariae
.
Yet
they
ought
to
stande
,
for
certayne
dayes
before
,
to
putrifye
.
Further
that
Turpentyne
gyueth
or
yeeldeth
more
oyle
of
it selfe
,
if
the
same
be
distylled
by
a
small
pype
,
than
by
boyling
water
,
is
to
be
doubted
.
A

The

the

artificiall
baulme
▪
which
ought
to
be
kept
,
as
a
most
precious
Iewell
.
And
this
composition
haue
I
gathered
,
and
dygested
into
such
a
perfection
,
as
in
(
my
opinion
)
séemeth
not
no
defull
of
any
further
addicion
:
besydes
I
haue
made
many
practises
and
tryals
,
of
all
these
matters
,
here
vnder
vttered
.
The
first
water
come
,
and
dropped
into
the
eyes
,
doth
marueylously
cleare
,
and
preserue
the
sight
of
the
eyes
:
and
washing
the
face
with
this
water
,
maketh
after
a
most
comely
&
bewtyfull
face
,
it
preserueth
youth
,
and
putteth
of
olde
age
,
it
breaketh
and
dyssolueth
the
stone
of
the
kydneys
,
and
causeth
the
pacient
to
pysse
,
which
otherwyse
is
letted
by
a
certayne
fleshie
stopping
in
the
way
:
this
also
cureth
all
maner
of
wounds
happening
in
any
part
of
the
bodye
,
and
of
what
condicion
so
euer
they
be
,
by
the
washing
with
this
water
,
and
the
applying
vppon
of
Lynnen
cloathes
wette
in
this
water
,
which
sundrye
tymes
exercised
,
wyll
shewe
so
marueylous
a
working
,
(
as
though
the
same
were
done
by
the
blessed
hand
of
God
onely
.
)
This
besydes
mightily
helpeth
the
personnes
in
a
consumption
,
and
all
maner
of
rewmes
,
and
the
coughe
.
This
water
also
bathed
or
rather
fomentedon
the
Sciatica
or
ache
in
the
hyppe
,
causeth
the
payne
forthwith
to
ceasse
.
That
other
water
named
the
mother
of
baulme
,
fomented
on
scabbes
,
doth
speedily
and
with
marueilous
easinesse
heale
them
:
and
worketh
the
lyke
on
the
fowle
scurfe
,
the
Leprie
:
and
all
maner
of
vlcers
,
which
are
not
corrosyue
,
this
water
marueylously
cureth
,
&
that
without
tediousnesse
:
and
vnto
infinite
other
grieffes
also
this
serueth
,
that
the
Aucthour
here
ouerpasseth
.
The
baulme
oyle
serueth
vnto
infinite
matters
and
purposes
,
and
especiallye
for
woundes
of
the
headde
,
where
bones
be
perished
or
harmed
,
and
the
pannickles
:
by
powring
into
,
and
applying
on
it
on
the
woundes
.
This
preserueth
the
fa●e
,
by
annoynting
(
after
dyscretion
)
with
it
.
This
also
doth
marueylouslie
helpe
the
Plewrisse
,
by
giuing
one
dramme
with
water
at
a
tyme
▪
and
many
other
matters
this
worketh
besydes
.
The
Baulme
is
a
marueylous
lycour
,
for
who
that
hath
paine
of
the
flankes
or
bowelles
,
by
taking
two
drammes
of
this
Baulme
in
the
mouth
,
shall
spedilie
be
eased
and
deliuered
:
this
doth
lyke
helpe
the
cough
,
the
rewme
,
the
coldnesse
of
the
head
,
and
the
stomacke
:
and
for
all
woundes
of
the
headde
,
this
is
a
most
synguler
remedie
,
by
annoynting
all
the
headde
about
once
a
daye
,
for
this
pierceth
into
the
brayne
,
and
euen
to
the
stomacke
alowe
.
This
also
dissolueth
any
swelling
happening
in
any
part
of
the
bodye
,
and
in
short
tyme
.
This
besides
cureth
the
quartaine
Ague
,
by
annoynting
all
the
bodie
with
it
,
in
omytting
no
part
vntouched
,
and
the
same
in
a
shorte
tyme
:
to
be
briefe
,
the
Aucthour
knewe
at
no
tyme
,
any
sicknesse
or
dissease
,
which
he
dyd
not
cure
with
this
Baulme
:
in
that
this
auayleth
as
well
in
the
hote
sicknesses
,
as
in
the
colde
:
for
the
colde
this
heateth
,
and
the
hote
sicknesses
this
(
of
a
certayne
hydde
propertie
)
cooleth
.
To
conclude
I
haue
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
founde
and
tryed
such
synguler
vertues
in
this
p●ceious
lycour
,
that
I
can
not
vtter
all
(
or
at
the
least
)
to
wryte
of
them
all
,
were
ouer
long
.
Wherefore
I
wyshe
all
menne
and
women
(
being
of
abilytic
)
to
be
alwayes
prouided
,
and
to
carrie
of
this
treasure
with
them
,
whether
so
euer
they
traueyle
or
iourney
,
for
the
health
of
bodie
:
in
that
the
vse
of
this
,
defendeth
them
a
long
time
,
from
any
sicknesse
or
dissease
,
&
this
is

lyttle
handfull
:
let
all

be
finelye
shredde
and

arte
,
and
put
into
the
glasse
bodie
stronglie
luted
,
or
Copper
bodie
,
togyther
with
the
oyle
of
Turpentine
distylled
,
and
to

of
Annyse

,
or

last
in
the
dis●yllacion
of
Cynamon
,
in
so
much
that
the
bodye
be
in
a
maner
fylle●
.
On
this
after
set
the
headde
,
and
the
ioynt
about
close
stoppe
,
with
lute
.
Then
fyre
put
vnder

let
the
distyllation
be
lyke
done
,
as
of
the
Annise
,
or
water
of
Cyanmon
,
that
is
,
let
this
be
distylled
,
by
a
pype
running
through
a
vessell
of
water
.
Which
done
,
that
is
,
when
the

stora●
,
and
to
the
same
powre
,
what
so
euer
you
shall
drawe
forth
in
the
next
distyllacion
,
and
let
them
be
distylled
agayne
,
as
the
first
.
That
if
the
water
of
the
first
distyllacion
,
shal
be
diminished
in
quantity
,
then
shal
you
powre
more
lycour
vpon
.
Nowe
as
soone
as
the
seconde
distyllation
shall
be
ended
,
cleanse
againe

,
powring

half
,
which
finely
brought
to
powder
and
put
in
,
powre
vpon
the
water
and
oyle
already
distylled
.
If
those
suffice
not
,
then
adde
to
it
of
the
like
water
,
aboue
taught
,
vntill
you
shal
thinke
it
sufficient
,
&
let
a
lyke
distyllation
be
done
,
as
aboue
taught
of
the
hearbes
.
Which
performed
,
take
then
forth
all
those
which
remaine
in
the
bottome
of
the
Glasse
,
&
powre
in
these
following
in
theyr
stéede
.
Yet
this
must
be
noted
by
the
waye
,
that
many
mixe
the
Lyquide
storaxe
togyther
with
the
foresayd
gummes
,
so
that
there
ne●deth
no
peculyar
distyllacion
of
these
folowing
.
The
spyces
to
be
added
are
these
,
take
of
Gynger
,
of
Zedoaria
,
&
,
of
Galingale
,
of
each
two
drams
,
of
Rubarbe
halfe
a
dram
,
of
Gentiane
,
&
of
Cubebae
,
of
eache
one
dram
and
a
halfe
,
of
Saffron
halfe
a
dram
,
of
Cynamon
one
ounce
,
of
Nutmegges
,
of
Mace
,
and
of
Cloues
,
of
each
sixe
drams
,
of
Calamus
odoratus
halfe
an
ounce
,
let
al
these
be
finely
brought
to
pouder
,
and
powred
togither
with
the
water
and
oyle
of
the
last
seperation
,
and
distilled
like
the
first
time
by
a
pype
in
water
,
which
thus
fynished
,
seperate
the
oyle
from
the
water
,
and
kéepe
the
oyl●
of
the
artificiall
Baulme
in
a
glasse
,
which
vse
,
as
here
vnder
instructeth
.
There
may
also
in
this
last
distillation
be
a
ball
or
great
button
made
of
the
spyces
tied
round
vp
in
a
fine
lynnen
clothe
,
&
distilled
togither
,
&
that
the
sauour
,
may
be
purchased
&
caused
the
sweeter
,
take
of
Mus●●
dissolued
in
Rosewater
fiue
graynes
,
of
Camphora
two
graines
,
of
Cynamon
and
Cloues
,
of
eache
one
scruple
,
these
orderly
mixe
as
aboue
taught
.
And
this
Baulme
is
fowre
times
distilled
ouer
,
as
first
with
the
hearbes
onely
,
in
the
second
with
the
Liquid
storaxe
,
in
the
third
with
the
gummes
,
in
the
fourth
with
the
spyces
.
This
hath
the
propertie
of
comforting
all
the
synewie
partes
,
and
those
lacking
bloud
,
which
be
,
the
stomacke
,
the
wombe
,
the
bowells
,
&
bladder
.
But
it
especially
helpeth
the
stranguri●
,
&
those
passioned
with
the
stone
,
if
eyght
or
ten
droppes
of
the
same
be
druncke
,
in
eyther
Ferne
water
,
or
wine
.
This
also
openeth
all
inner
stoppings
:
it
defendeth
&
preserueth
a
person
long
in
health
,
by
taking
certaine
droppes
mixed
in
broth
,
&
that
in
the
morning
fasting
twise
in
the
weeke
,
&c.
A

,
&
mixed
all
in

glasse
body
luted
,
&
added
after
to
it
,
fiue
pintes
(
of
rectified
Aqua

)
and
of
Cloues
,
&
distilled
them
togither
by
a
pype
.
The
next
day
,
he
tooke
Lyquid
styrax
,
&
the
other
gummes
,
&
distilled
it
againe
,
and
this
distillation
(
note
)
is
hard
,
in
that
the
same
so
lightly
boyleth
vp
,
&
for
that
cause
shall
the
coles
be
drawen
forth
,
when
it
beginneth
to
boyle
vp
.
The
third
day
following
,
he
distilled
the
spyces
and
others
,
with
the
Baulme
by
a
pype
in
water

a
Lymbecke
diligently

distill
then
with
a
soft

slowe
fyre
.
First
commeth
a
water
,
which
is
named
the
Baulme
water
:
next
insueth
a
cytryne
lycour
,
in
colour
like
to
oyle
,
which
assoone
as
you
shall
see
distylling
,
drawe
away
the
receauer
with
the
water
of
Baulme
,
setting

which
then
sendeth
forth
droppes
or
droppeth
,
a
long
space
and
time
betweene
drop

drop
,
and
this
lycour
(
slowest
distilling

is
more
precious
than
the
other
two
.
These
three
lycours
throughly
distilled
,
keepe
diligently
in
seuerall
glasses
close
stopped
,
with
waxe

which
waxe
notwithstanding
through
the
fortitude
of

softned
like
paste
.
The

The
thyrde
is
blacke

which
is
named
Xylobalsamum

Guido

And
with

in

Mesue
many
times
dealed

without

all

For

For

vse
this

kéepe

This
distillation
ought
rather
bée
done

This
oyle
gotten

helpeth
all

This
●elpeth
the

,
&
a
colde
gowte
.
And
if
a
plaister
be
made
of
it
,
and
Ammoniacum
,
doth
then
dissolue
the
impostumes
of
the
spléene
,
and
the
hardnesse
of
it
,
in
a
shorte
tyme
,
it
doth
the

helpe

Thys
auayleth
in
all
passions
of

procéedyng
of

and
helpeth
spéedily
the
hyssing

This
also
helpeth
the
Palsie

drawyng
awrye
of
the

,
if
the

bee
often
annoynted
wyth

aptly
applyed

and
draweth
forth

If
a
lyttle
of
it
be

,
it
dissolueth
the
curded

.
If
a
small
quantitie
of
thys
oyle
be
commixed
wyth
the
Syrope
of
Roses
,
doth
then
purge
the
Lunges
of
grosse

clammie
humors
,
and
such
shorte
winded
.
This
marueylously
helpeth
all
infirmities
,
and
diseases
of
the
eyes
,
but
especially
,
the
Cataractes
.
This
druncke
auaileth
against
poysons
:
for
if
the
pacient
shal
drink
a
little
of
it
,
it
extinguisheth
any
person
.
It
speedily
cureth
the
quartane

tertian
Ague

if
the
backe

bone
bee
annoynted
wyth
it
agaynst

Thys
doth

delyuer
the
crampe
or
convulsion
of
wounds
,
if
the
same
bée
applyed
warme
on

This
to
conclude
,
healeth
all
woundes
as
well

making

continuing
the
fire
vnto

,
and
for
that
three
kind
of
lycours
are
sublimed

gotten
of
the

,
as
in

,
that
the
first
which
shall
come
,
will
then
appeare
yelowishe

close

no

breath
forth
.
But
this
one
thing
doth
the
Authour
admonishe
and
giue
vs
to
vnderstande
,
that
the
fyre
bee
studiously
cared
for
and
looked
vnto
,
vntill
the
sublimation
of
the
whole
shall
be
performed
,
for
in

stopping

slaking
of
fyre
in

time
,
the
lycours
could
then
not
be
throughly
drawen
&
gathered
.
These
three
lycours
to
be
briefe
,
or
rather
this
sublimation
tryple
wise
,
be
indewed
with
properties
,
agreeable
or
answerable
to
their
degrees
,
yet
the
first
of
these
lycours
,
is
of
lesser
power
in
properties
,
then
the
other
,
and
the
second
weaker
in
vertue
then
the
thirde
,
so
that
the
thirde
is
mightier
and
worthier
then
both
,
or
the
other
two
.
The
report
is
,
that
besides
the
quickning
and
helping
of
memory
,
they
represse
the
hollow
vlcers
,
mayster
the
canker
that
it
cleaueth

they
also

they
cure
also
the

,
the
grieuous
paynes
of
the
teeth
,
helpe
the
synew
drawen
togyther

shrunke
,
and
they
dissolue
harde
gatherings

they
mayster

helpe
many
colde
langours
,

recouer

lost

put

sone
after
become
sober
,
which
the
wyne
alone
doth
not
.
A
lyke
to
this
,
that
if
a
man
happen
to
be
burned
in
any
place
with
fire
,
that
the
presentest
remedie
is
,
to
burne
the
same
place
againe
,
as
a
soueraigne
helpe
experienced
.
And
a
lyke
also
to
this
,
that
if
a
man
happen
to
be
deepe
wounded
,
that
he
sheddeth
of
the
same
much
blood
,
the
next
remedie
then
is
,
as
hath
bene
many
tymes
tryed
,
to
let
the
pacient
bléede
of
a
veyne
.
By
these
&
many
other
lyke
reasons
,
the
Aucthour
here
proueth
,
that
to
dryue
forth
poysons
,
a
man
ought
to
doe
those
,
with
the
kyndes
aunswerable
to
them
.
But
in
such
maner
prepared
,
that
the
matter
alter
not
,
&
be
by
that
meanes
,
a
more
harme
to
the
poysoned
.
For
that
cause
,
the
maner
of
applying
the
oyle
against
poyson
,
ought
on
this
wyse
be
done
:
when
any
needeth
the
vse
of
this
remedy
,
let
the
pacient
then
be
outwardly
annoynted
with
it
,
and
take
immediatly
two
drams
of
it
by
the
mouth
,
with
whyte
vineger
,
as
well
in
the
morning
,
as
at
night
before
the
going
to
bedde
,
&
he
shall
throughly
be
cured
of
any
great
poyson
.
Vnlesse
it
be
eyther
Sublimatum
,
or
dyamonde
,
which
this
remedy
helpeth
not
,
in
that
they
be
no
poysons
,
yet
deadly
myneralles
,
that
in
no
maner
can
dygest
,
nor
their
euyl
effect
but
lytle
mytigated
.
Notwithstanding
if
any
shall
be
intoxicated
with
Sublimatum
,
he
needeth
then
no
other
,
but
to
bath
him selfe
in
Vineger
,
to
drincke
plenty
of
mylke
,
to
eate
often
butter
,
&
to
drinck
the
whaye
of
mylke
,
at
a
sure
&
true
remedy
experienced
.
It
shall
also
be
good
&
necessary
,
that
the
pacient
vomitte
once
a
day
for
a
tyme
,
for
the
readier
purging
&
emptying
of
the
stomacke
of
that
matter
.

instyl
two

on

in

,
and
that

,
sixe

And

in

moneth
)
two
pounds
of
the
freshe
fruites
,
of
that
hearbe
named
Balsami
which
be
redde
:
this
done
,
you
haue
then
the
greater
lycour
prepared
and
in
a
redinesse
,
which
dilygently
stoppe
that
no
ayre
breath
forth
:
and
this
lycour
also
,
the
older
it
shal
be
before
the
occupying
,
the
better
it
worketh
.
For
this
is
of
such
a
vertue
,
that
it
healeth
consumpcions
,
and
dropsies
,
in
the
ministring
foure
drams
waight
of
it
,
with
one
ounce
of
the
syrupe
of
Roses
hote
by
the
mouth
,
euery
morning
fasting
:
which
for
forty
dayes
thus
giuen
,
doth
throughly
cure
them
.
This
also
is
a
true
&
perfite
oyntment
,
with
which
Petechiae
are
throughlie
cured
,
by
annoynting
the
places
sundry
tymes
with
it
.
And
any
wounded
,
and
hauing
the
veynes
,
the
sinewes
,
and
bones
cutte
,
by
closing
or
stitching
the
wounds
,
&
applying
of
this
oyle
vpon
hote
,
shall
in
short
tyme
be
cured
,
without
any
alteracion
or
great
paine
to
the
pacient
.
This
also
cureth
the
scurfe
,
by
annoynting
those
places
of
the
head
with
it
.
For
the
coldnesse
of
the
head
,
&
rewmes
,
by
applying
of
it
to
the
nosethrelles
morning
and
euening
,
shall
spéedily
be
cured
,
without
the
vse
of
any
other
thing
:
and
this
it
doth
through
his
sharpe
sauour
and
piersing
,
which
entereth
and
flyeth
to
the
head
&
stomacke
,
and
doth
so
dissolue
those
corrupt
humours
,
both
in
the
head
&
stomacke
:
in
that
this
is
a
lycour
,
which
preserueth
from
any
corruption
.
And
if
the
stomacke
be
annoynted
rounde
about
with
the
oyle
,
it
procureth
a
good
digestion
of
meate
:
it
also
mooueth
vryne
retained
,
or
that
cannot
pysse
,
through
a
fleshinesse
stopping
it
,
or
the
Gonorrhaea
,
or
of
any
other
cause
.
This
causeth
besydes
the
heyres
to
growe
,
&
preserueth
the
beard
blacke
a
long
tyme
,
and
auayleth
against
wormes
,
artly
applyed
.
And
all
these
practises
are
most
true
,
and
proued
many
tymes
in
the
abouesayd
diseases
&
grieffes
,
and
in
many
others
,
and
neuer
harmed
nor
pained
any
pacient
with
it
,
except
such
infected
with
the
French
disease
:
for
annoynting
any
such
with
this
,
it
mightily
paineth
him
:
by
which
at
any
time
you
shal
throughly
be
perswaded
,
whether
the
pacient
be
vexed
with
the

And
with

hath
the

done
many
singular

.
An
oyle
of
the
Orrenge
flowers
,
take
Melone
seedes
wel
broken
,
so
many
as
you
wyl
,
of
these
straw
a

in
that
bottome
of
a
broade
or
gallie
glasse
,
on
which
straw
a
bedde
of
the
flowers
of
that
Orrenges
,
vpon
that
straw
another
course
of
the
séedes
:
which
done
,
let
them
so
stand
for
a
day
,
after
the
throwing
away
of
the
flowers
,
put
in
fresh
flowers
to
the
seedes
,
in
like
order
as
aboue
taught
:
this
doe
for
sundry
dayes
togither
,
in
shyfting
the
flowers
,
vntyl
the
seedes
haue
purchased
the
vertue
&
sauour
of
the
Orrendge
flowers
,
which
sprincled
&
wette
somwhat
with
good
Rosewater
,
put
vp
into
sware
lynnen
bagges
,
these
wryng
harde
in

,
pressing
the
oyle
.
The
oyle
of
the
Iasemyne
flowers
maye
in
a
lyke
maner
bée
purchased
,
by
ordering
the
flowers
as
aboue
vttered
:
and
if
you
thincke
the
yéelde
not
sufficient
at
a
tyme
,
then
maye
you
increase
the
same
(
in
my
opinion
)
with
the
iourdaine
Almondes
cleane
scraped
,
and
broken
after
discrecion
.
An
oyle
of
the
Damaske
Roses
,
maye
in
a
lyke
maner
be
obtayned
:
if
so
be
you
breake
Almondes
into
small
partes
,
being
cleane
scraped
before
(
and
not
blaunched
)
and
ordered
as
aboue
taught
,
of
the
oyle
of
Orrendge
flowers
:
which
after
put
into
bags
,
presse
forth
an
oyle
.
An
oyle
of
Roses
by
sunning
,
is
prepared
and
made
on
this
wyse
,
as
Rogerius
in
his
fowrth
treatyse
and
eyght
Chapter
instructeth
.
Take
the
Flowers
of
gréene
Roses
,
and
fyll
the
glasse
with
the
flowers
and
oyle
,
in
such
maner
:
that
to
one
pounde
of
Roseleaues
,
be
two
poundes
of
oyle
added
,
which
dilygently
stopped
,
set
the
glasse
in
the
Sunne
,
for
fortie
dayes
,
sturring
about
the
flowers
once
a
daye
.
After
such
a
decoction
,
strayne
it
through
a
Lynnen
cloath
,
into
a
Bason
of
fayre
colde
water
,
and
labour
or
styrre
the
oyle
about
with
a
Hasill
sticke
whyte
scraped
,
after
shift
the
oyle
into
another
Bason
of
cold
water
and
sturring
it
,
and
this
doe
tenne
tymes
togyther
.
For
through
this
often
washing
,
it
purchaseth
a
coldnesse
in
working
,
and
a
lesser
drynesse
.
By
which
it
doth
after
more
coole
,
and
moysten
.
Also
the
substaunce
put
into
a
glasse
&
set
in
the
Sunne
,
vntyll
the
moysture
which
entreth
the
powres
,
may
through
the
same
be
consumed
.
In
a
colde
countrey
,
where
through
a
weake
heate
of
the
ayre
this
can
not
be
decocted
,
let
the
glasse
be
set
into
a
panne
of
water
,
that
it
may
there
softlye
boyle
for
two
or
three
dayes
,
vnto
a
thyrde
part
of
the
oyle
awaye
:
&
if
that
countrey
hath
not
oyle
Olyue
,
then
draw
an
oyle
of
freshe
Nuttes
scraped
,
with
which
make
your
oyle
of
Roses
:
or
otherwise
vse
olde
Nuttes
scraped
cleane
,
and
stieped
for
two
dayes
in
colde
water
,
after
let
an
oyle
be
pressed
forth
.
Whereof
the
Aucthour
alleageth
,
that
the
mylke
drawne
or
made
of
freshe
Nuttes
,
may
so
safely
be
giuen
to
the
sicke
of
the
Ague
at
all
tymes
,
in
a
cold
countrey
:
as
the
Almonde
mylke
,
in
a
hote
countrey
.
This
oyle
also
aboue
taught
,
hath
sundrye
properties
,
for
if
a
pacient
vexed
with
the
Ague
,
be
daylye
or
often
annoynted
about
the
forehead
,
and
temples
,
and
paulmes
of
the
handes
,
the
soles
of
the
féete
,
and
on
the
beating
veynes
of
the
wrestes
,
this
note
onely
represseth
the
payne
of
the
head
,
and
other
partes
,
but
altereth
the
heate
and
procureth
sléepe
,
yet
this
in
no
case
,
may
be
done
in
the
sick
day
,
where
you
hope
of
the
vniuersall
or
particular
action
.
A
singuler
remedie
commended
,
that
the
yolkes
of
Egges
be
laboured
with
the
oyle
of
Roses
,
and
layde
playster
wyse
on
the
region
of
the
Lyuer
,
or
vpon
a
fyrie
impostume
:
which
being
once
,
or
twyse
applyed
,
doth
marueylouslie
mitigate
paine
,
and
doth
dissolue
the
fumositie
,
and
sharpnesse
of

.
And
the
same
cleanseth
the
place
or
swelling
to
fal
,
&
remooueth
the

.
This
oyle
also
mixt

with
a

of
the
iuyce
of
plaintayne
,
for
a
glyster
in
the

fluxe
,
or
perylous
scouring
with

is
greatly
commended
,
this
doth
spéedily
bring
woundes
to
a

,
and
mytigateth
the
payne
,
by
repressing
the

gotten
without

An

,
may
be
drawne
and
made
after
the
maner
ensewing
,
borrowed
out
of
a
certayne
written
booke
in
the
Italian
tongue
:
take
of
Rosemarie
flowers
,
a
good
quantitie
,
putting
them
into
a
potte
,
and
thrusting
them
harde
downe
with
a

.
After
powre
vpon

oyle
Olyue
,
so
much

shall
be
sufficent
,
that
a

close

When

SEeing
that
sundry
Spyces
,
and
the
séedes
of
all
hearbes
in
a
maner
,
be
rather
of
a
hote
,
thinne
&
ayreall
substaunce
:
for
that
cause
,
it
must
néedes
insewe
,
that
these
possesse
a
certaine
oyly
substance
.
In
that
euery
oyle
in
a
maner
,
hath
a
lyke
myxture
.
Nowe
oyles
distylled
or
gotten
out
of
séedes
,
as
well
hote
,
as
colde
,
are
purchased
in
this
maner
.
These
oyles
by
distyllacion
drawne
in
Sande
,
ought
on
such
wyse
be
prepared
,
that
the
séedes
before
the
putting
into
the
Cucurbite
be
brused
,
and
the
glasse
verie
well
fensed
about
with
the
lute
of
wysedome
.
And
there
may
,
sixe
,
or
seuen
,
or
eyght
ounces
of
any
seedes
brused
,
be
put
into
the
glasse
at
a
tyme
,
or
more
if
you
wyll
,
but
this
according
to
the
greatnesse
of
the
Cucurbite
.
After
powre
fyue
,
or
sixe
,
or
seuen
pyntes
of
the
clearest
water
at
a
tyme
on
the
seedes
,
myxing
the
whole
dilygently
togyther
.
Which
thus
myxed
dilygently
in
the
infusion
,
let
stande
to
infuse
,
or
dygest
,
or
putryfye
,
in
some
hote
place
,
for
certayne
dayes
,
as
eyther
eyght
,
or
tenne
dayes
,
after
set
the
Cucurbyte
into
a
potte
apte
to
the
Furnace
,
which
fyll
so
with
Sande
,
that
the
Cucurbyte
standing
in
it
,
toucheth
not
the
bottome
,
by
two
fyngers
breadth
,
and
that
a
good
thycknesse
of
Sande
be
rounde
about
the
bodie
.
And
let
the
oyle
be
distylled
in
the
same
maner
,
and
with
the
same
vesselles
,
as
shall
after
be
vttered
:
whereas
wee
teach
the
order
of
drawing
of
oyles
,
out
of
Spyces
and
wooddes
.
This
by
the
waye
doth
the
Aucthour
warne
you
of
,
that
at
the
fyrst
you
make
a
softe
fyre
:
and
take
heede
,
that
the
substaunce
contayned
in
the
Cucurbyte
,
boyleth
not
vp
vnto
the
Lymbecke
or
headde
.
For
certayne
seedes
,
as
the
Annise
séedes
,
through
the
thynnesse
of
theyr
substaunce
,
and
clammynesse
togyther
which
they
possesse
,
doe
myghtilye
boyle
vppe
:
for
which
cause
,
you
maye
not
by
and
by
fyxe
on
the
headde
:
but
after
you
see
bubbles
aryse
,
and
the
vapour
carryed
vpwarde
,
take
of
the
Lymbecke
,
and
puttyng
in
a
fayre
stycke
,
sturre
the
substaunce
well
about
.
And
on
such
wyse
may
the
fome
or
bubbles
be
resolued
into
vapour
,
and
breath
vp
,
which
maye
after
with
a
meane
fyre
,
bée
qualyfied
,
and
increased
,
at
the
wyll
of
the
Practysioner
.
Which
thus
mytygated
or
alayde
,
set
on
your
Lymbecke
close
luted
about
,
and
distyll
or
drawe
so
long
vntyll
you
suppose
that
no
more
oyle
bée
contayned
wythin
,
which
by
syght
and
taste
,
you
shall
easilye
and
soone
perceyue
.
For
when
the
droppes
distylling
,
in
taste
,
carrie
with
them
no
more
vertue
of
the
manifest
qualitye
of
the
seedes
and
Spyces
put
in
,
then
must
you
ceasse
gathering
any
more
,
least

sticke
,
or
burne

the
bottome
of
the

A
preparation
of
oyles
out
of
séedes
,
as
of
the
Fennell
,
Annise
,
&c.
Is
wrought
after
this
maner
,
as
the
Aucthour
gathered
&
learned
,
by
the
sundrie
letters
written
vnto
the
singuler
Gesnerus
in
the
Germaine
tongue
.
Fyrst
,
I
tooke
(
sayth
he
)
such
a
quantitie
of
seedes
,
as
I
thought
necessarye
,
but
a
fiue
or
sixe
poundes
alwaeys
:
those
I
so
stamped
or
beate
in
a
grosse
manner
,
that
I
left
no
one
seede
vnbroken
,
which
I
then
powred
into
the
Cucurbyte
.
After
I
powred
vpon
so
much
scalding
or
verie
hote
water
,
that
well
couered
the
seedes
,
and
then
set
on
the
Lymbecke
or
head
,
close
luted
in
the
ioynt
about
,
and
stopped
the
nose
,
that
no
ayre
breathed
forth
:
which
standing
to
putrify
for
thrée
or
fowre
dayes
,
I
after
distylled
with
a
soft
fyre
,
&
a
fayre
oyle
followed
(
so
that
the
water
by
which
the
oyle
passeth
,
be
very
colde
)
as
you
were
afore
taught
.
This
one
matter
is
worthy
to
be
considered
,
that
the
oyle
of
Annise
séedes
can
not
in
the
Summer
tyme
be
distylled
at
all
,
for
that
theyr
spyrites
then
are
ouer
subtyll
,
&
the
Fennell
seedes
at
that
tyme
much
subtyller
then
them
:
which
they
euaporate
through
the
heate
in
that
season
,
howe
easie
so
euer
you
make
your
fire
vnder
,
or
labour
you●
distyllacion
.
So
that
the
aptest
and
meetest
tyme
for
the
dystyllacion
of
these
,
is
in
the
wynter
:
in
that
the
colder
the
ayre
shall
then
be
,
so
much
the
sooner
,
when
the
oyle
shall
fall
into
the
Receauer
,
wyll
it
be
cowrded
togyther
,
lyke
to
Camphora
.
Which
when
after
you
shall
strayne
through
a
fayre
cloath
,
all
the
water
then
runneth
through
,
but
the
oyle
remayneth
on
the
cloath
:
which
I
after
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
dyssolued
in
a
gallie
or
broade
mouth
glasse
set
in
a
stewe
or
hote
house
,
and
the
flewme
so
seperated
.
In
the
distylling
of
such
maner
of
oyles
,
must
first
be
considered
and
noted
,
that
a
man
may
not
prepare
and
distyll
more
then
halfe
a
pounde
at
a
tyme
.
After
remembring
,
that
the
matter
to
be
dystylled
,
be
brayed
or
broken
in
a
morter
,
after
a
grosse
maner
,
and
not
in
a
subtyll
or
fine
powder
.
To
this
matter
then
let
a
due
quantitie
of
pure
water
be
powred
,
that
it
maye
couer
the
séedes
,
which
after
powre
into
a
copper
Cucurbite
,
and
well
myxed
togyther
,
set
on
a
copper
head
,
close
luted
to
the
bodye
in
the
ioynt
,
that
no
ayre
breath
forth
.
This
distyllacion
then
ought
to
be
done
through
a
vessell
fylled
with
colde
water
,
the
tynne
or
leaden
pype
retching
to
the
nose
of
the
head
,
whereby
the
oyle
(
in
the
distylling
)
may
not
burne
.
All
which
thus
prepared
,
make
a
very
soft
or
slow
fire
in
the
begynning
,
vntyl
the
Furnace
waxeth
hote
,
then
increase
your
heate
or
fire
,
more
&
more
,
as
the
matter
beginneth
to
distyll
:
the
water
&
oyle
all
come
,
seperate
the
one
from
the
other
,
after
art
.
When
this
begynneth
to
distyll
,
you
may
withdraw
some
of
the
fire
,
and
marke
whether
the
fyre
being
at
that
stay
,
the
distyllacion
neuerthelesse
procéedeth
,
then
must
the
stronger
heate
or
fyre
be
left
,
and
the
other
followed
and
mayntained
:
but
if
otherwise
,
then
let
the
heate
be
increased
.
Thyrdly
must
be
considered
&
learned
,
that
the
oile
fyrst
distilleth
,
so
that
at
the
comming
of
the
second
,
or
thyrde
oyle
,
the
receauer
may
be
changed
.
And
within
an
howres
space
in
a
maner
,
wyll
halfe
an
ounce
be
distilled
and
gathered
in
the
receauer
.
So
that
when
no
more
lyquidnesse
appeareth
on
high
,
in
the
Cucurbite
,
then
wyl
no
more
matter
distyll
forth
:
and
the
work
vpon
this
sight
,
is
fully
ended
.
The
oyle
of
Annise
seedes
,
is
thus
prepared
&
drawne
:
take
of
Annise
seedes
(
for
this
is
a
common
forme
&
waye
,
vnto
the
distylling
also
of
oyles
,
out
of
other
séedes
)
one
pounde
,
these
after
the
grosse
beating
,
r●t
into
a
horned
or
croke
necked
body
,
to
which
let
the
receauer
be
artly
closed
&
fastned
,
setting
the
body
then
into
a
pot
of
ashes
,
the
same
distyl
with
a
most
soft
fyre
,
&
you
shall
gather
a
water
&
an
oyle
in
the
receauer
.
The
water
you
shal
draw
forth
by
a
reuoluing
or
repeting
againe
of
the
whole
substance
:
that
oyle
remaining
or
tarrying
behind
in
the
body
,
whose
vse
serueth
vnto
the
collicke
passion
,
&
paine
of
the
bowels
.
But
of
the
water
is
an
electuary
made
with
Sugar
,
in
the
forme
of
losings
or
Manus
christi
,
of
which
one
table
at
a
tyme
,
eyther
after
dynner
,
or
after
supper
may
be
giuen
or
taken
.
For
this
strengthneth
the
stomack
&
digestion
,
&
putteth
away
or
expelleth
wynd
.
This
at
any
time
taken
or
vsed
profiteth
,
but
in
the
morning
especially
:
&
helpeth
the
lungs
,
the
cough
,
&
the
obstructions
or
stoppings
of
choller
,
&
helpeth
the
inward
parts
.
The
vse
of
it
properly
,
is
in
droppes
.
The
oyle
of
Annise
is
much
more
in
property
,
then
the
Annise
it selfe
,
and
in
working
myghtier
.
Yet
the
naturall
heate
,
of
the
whole
Annise
seede
,
can
neuer
be
so
exactly
purchased
,
as
to
draw
forth
&
seperate
a
perfite
substance
:
although
an
artificiall
preparation
may
be
wrought
,
&
the
same
by
mans
industry
.
For
like
as
any
meate
,
that
the
same
may
be
taken
&
eaten
,
without
daunger
or
harme
,
it
néedeth
before
an
outward
preparation
:
euen
so
must
a
lyke
preparation
be
wrought
in
medicines
,
that
the
subtyller
parts
be
seperated
from
the
grosser
,
before
those
be
applied
or
taken
within
the
body
:
for
on
such
wyse
prepared
and
ordered
,
may
any
medicine
worke
the
easier
,
&
performe
the
proper
action
in
the
body
,
without
harme
to
the
pacient
.
The
vse
of
this
oyle
much
auayleth
in
the
gyddinesse
of
the
head
,
the
harde
fetching
of
breath
,
procéeding
through
a
dangerous
Rewme
in
a
maner
suffocating
or
choking
the
person
,
in
the
weaknesse
of
stom●ck
and
wyndinesse
,
in
the
dropsie
,
in
other
colde
diseases
,
and
those
procured
of
wynd
.
This
also
much
profiteth
the
members
lacking
blood
;
and
the
synew
partes
,
as
the
stomack
,
the
veynes
,
the
bladder
,
the
bellye
,
and
the
whyte
fluxe
of
the
wombe
this
mightilye
stayeth
.
This
oyle
may
be
taken
or
ministred
by
droppos
,
in
gyuin
certain
droppes
of
it
eyther
in
wine
,
or
in
breath
in
the
morning
,
or
in
tyme
of
necessitie
.
The
oyle
of
Fennell
séedes
helpeth
the
head
,
but
the
eyes
especially
,
the
kydneys
&
bladder
:
Tables
may
be
made
of
the
same
,
of
lyke
propertyes
,
and
vnto
the
same
vses
:
or
certayne
droppes
may
be
mynistred
alone
,
at
any
time
:
or
else
taken
morning
,
and
euening
.
And
an
oyle
is
drawne
,
out
of
the
drye
séedes
,
without
any
other
addicion
,
it
is
very
pleasaunt
and
swéete
of
taste
,
as
the
Aucthour
prooued
and
felt
of
the
same
:
the
same
also
in
colour
is
whyte
,
that
first
distylleth
.
The
oyle
of
Cummyne
drawne
,
is
profitable
to
woundes
,
ioyning
néere
vnto
the
Mylt
,
the
swellings
of
the
body
procéeding
of
a
colde
cause
,
which
sometymes
happeneth
and
is
the
cause
,
why
the

vnto
this
vse
may
a

,
be
mynistred
in
Ferne

auayleth

It
auayleth
also
in

in

mightily

causing
an

THe
oyle
of
Iuniper
berryes
,
is
distylled
in
the
same
maner
,
as
the
Aqua
vitae
,
by
powring
water
vpon
,
and
it
then
spéedilye
and
easilye
distylleth
.
As
an
oyle
fyrst
commeth
,
and
a
water
next
inseweth
:
euen
in
the
lyke
maner
,
as
when
the
Spike
is
distylled
.
But
it
behooueth
to
breake
the
berries
before
.
Some
also
distyll
them
in
a
bodie
:
this
auayleth
vnto
many
grieffes
,
vnto
the
gripings
of
the
belly
,
vnto
the
mattering
of
the
yarde
,
which
is
as
the
same
were
the
Gonorrhaea
,
vnto
the
paynes
or
grieffes
of

necke
,
procéeding
of
Rewme
.
Agyrtae

publishe
marueylous
matters
of
the
same
oyle
,
which
who
that
lyste
may
reade
theyr
tables
imprinted
with
them
.
But
the
maner
howe
this
oyle
ought
to
be
distylled
,
is
on
this
wyse
:
I
tooke
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
a
pynt
full
of
Iunyper
berryes
,
which
I
brake
somewhat
small
,
vpon
which
I
powred
pure
water
,
such
a
quantitie
as
verie
well
couered
them
,
after
I
powred
the
whole
into
such
a
copper
vessell
,
as
the
same
is
,
in
which
the
Aqua
vitae
most
commonly
is
distylled
,
and
with
a
copper
pype
also
passing
through
colde
water
,
dyd
I
distyll
,
hauing
vnder
a
bygge
Receauer
,
fastened
to
the
pype
,
which
myght
well
receyue
or
holde
fowre
measures
of
lycour
:
and
on
this
wyse
,
dyd
the
oyle
distyll
&
come
,
with
the
water
.
But
another
instrument
I
vsed
standing
on
the
head
,
which
I
fylled
with
colde
water
,
for
the
better
cooling
of
the
spyrites
,
that
they
burned
not
in
the
comming
.
Out
of
the
abouesayde
quantity
of
berryes
,
I
neuer
drew
aboue
three
ounces
of
perfite
oyle
.
There
is
a
further
instruction
,
for
the
drawing
of
this
oyle
,
in
the
first
part
of
distyllations
.
By
pressing
out
also
in
this
maner
or
on
this
wyse
,
we
drawe
&
get
an
oyle
not
euyll
sauouring
:
take
of
Iuniper
berryes
broken
,
fyrst
myxt
with
burning
water
,
and
after
with
oyle
Olyue
:
let
them
boyle
a
lyttle
,
or
at
the
least
let
these
be
infused
togyther
,
often
sturring
them
with
a
spattle
,
for
eyght
dayes
,
then
powring
them
into
a
bodie
,
distyll
in
a
Furnace
after
art
,
the
oyle
after
swymmyng
aboue
,
gather
into
another
glasse
:
you
may
then
put
into
it
a
lytle
of
Angelica
,
or
some
other
thing
a
lyttle
brused
before
.
The
Mandrake
apples
are
cut
into
quarters
,
&
boyled
in
oyle
,
in
a
double
vessel
,
in
a
colde
countrey
as
afore
of
the
oyle
of
Roses
,
out
of
Rogerius
was
taught
,
or
you
may
otherwyse
prepare
the
Oyle
,
by
the
heate
of
the
Sunne
.
This
Oyle
auayleth
the
lyke
in
contynuall
and
burning
Agues
,
which
the
Oyle
of
Roses
doth
:
but
in
that
this
oyle
stupyfieth
and
mightier
altereth
,
more
then
the
oyle
of
Roses
doth
,
it
ought
(
for
that
cause
)
that
the
malyce
or
hurt
be
repressed
,
with
womans
mylke
myxed
,
the
same
oyle
also
auayleth
,
in
the
hote
aches
,
and
gowte
.
This
borrowed
out
of
Rogerius
.
An
oyle
out
of
Bay
berries
,
doth
Rogerius
instruct
to
make
many
wayes
:
take
the
gréene
berries
,
those
breake
small
,
which
after
the
sufficient
boyling
,
straine
through
a
cloath
,
&
kéepe
the
lycour
in
a
glasse
.
Otherwyse
,
take
a
quantity
of
rype
bay
berries
,
&
those
after
the
finely
breaking
,
boyle
with
bay
leaues
after
art
,
and
the
same
strayned
,
kéepe
dilygently
in
a
glasse
.
Or
after
the
baye
berries
be
finely
broken
,
&
infused
for
sixe
or
eyght
dayes
in
wyne
,
and
then
put
vp
into
bagges
,
&
an
oyle
drawne
by
a
presse
.
Or
the
rype
&
fresh
berryes
broken
,
which
after
the
putting
into
bagges
,
an
oyle
pressed
forth
.
This
oyle
(
as
wytnesseth
Rogerius
)
auayleth
against
the
Collick
,
the
Ilyacke
,
and
Sciaticke
passion
,
or
payne
in
the
hyppe
bone
.
An

many
wayes
,
especially
by
those
wayes
taught
aboue

in

berryes
:
this
oyle
purchased
,
auaileth
against
cold
causes
,
especially
against
the
cold
ioynt
aches
.
Wherefore
I
affirme
(
sayth
Rogerius
)
that
whatsoeuer
consisteth
in
the
yuie
,
auayleth
against
ache
of
the
ioynts
:
whereof
the
oyle
,
that
myghtier
worketh
,
is
on
this
wyse
prepared

dilygently
about

which
after
bury

precept
,
ought
to
be
obserued
,
in
the
distillacion
of
all
spyces
in
a
maner
:
that
what
spices
soeuer
you
chose
,
bray
them
first
into
fine
powder
,
powring
vpon
a
quantity
of
cunduite
or
spryng
water
,
which
after
the
same
shall
be
coloured
with
the
spyce
,
shyft
into
another
glasse
,
into
which
powre
other
fresh
spyces
broken
:
&
so
often
do
the
same
,
vntyl
the
water
purchase
no
further
colour
,
then
distyl
it
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
&
seperate
after
the
water
from
the
oyle
:
this
G.
Rast.
But
the
waters
&
oyles
,
which
are
preapared
&
gotten
out
of
spyces
,
ought
to
be
done
by
the
infusion
in
simple
water
,
&
not
in
wyne
,
or
Aqua
vitae
in
that
those
doe
hastily
ascend
,
&
not
carry
the
force
of
the
spyces
with
them
:
but
the
water
contrarywyse
ascendeth
not
,
without
the
spyce
.
And
to
be
briefe
,
those
are
here
to
be
applyed
,
which
are
afore
taught
,
of
the
oyles
out
of
séedes
,
in
the
begynning
vttered
to
be
done
.
The
oyle
out
of
Cloues
,
Nutmegs
,
Pepper
,
Mace
,
&
Cinamon
,
are
made
&
wrought
through
the
spyces
before
broken
,
&
put
into
a
Cucurbite
wel
luted
,
or
into
a
copper
body
,
with
a
head
set
close
on
:
which
you
shall
distyll
by
a
pype
retching
through
a
vessell
of
colde
water
:
for
on
such
wyse
cooled
,
wyll
a
water
and
oyle
come
,
which
after
seperate
,
as
the
one
from
the
other
.
For
the
oyle
euermore
swymmeth
aboue
the
water
,
except
the
oyle
of
Cloues
,
which
falleth
to
the
bottome
.
An
oyle
out
of
Nutmegs
,
vnto
the
imitacion
of
this
general
rule
,
which
a
certaine
Empericke
teacheth
to
be
in
a
maner
lyke
prepared
.
Take
a
thyrd
,
or
fowrth
part
of
good
Aqua
vitae
distylled
,
&
the
Nutmegs
finely
broken
,
put
altogither
into
a
glasse
body
,
filled
with
the
Aqua
vitae
,
three
fingers
aboue
the
Nutmegs
,
which
let
stand
couered
to
infuse
for
.xxiiii.
howres
,
&
that
the
Aqua
vitae
hath
attayned
a
yellow
colour
,
the
same
then
shyft
into
another
glasse
:
into
which
poure
after
fresh
Aqua
vitae
,
so
much
as
before
,
&
the
same
so
often
repeate
with
fresh
Aqua
vitae
,
vntyl
it
wyl
colour
the
Aqua
vitae
no
more
.
Which
done
,
powre
all
the
Aqua
vitae
thus
colored
into
a
glasse
body
,
which
after
the
setting
into
Balneo
Mariae
,
distyll
according
to
art
,
that
the
Aqua
vitae
may
ascend
,
&
the
oyle
of
Nutmegs
remayne
in
the
bottome
of
the
body
:
and
on
such
wyse
,
shal
you
attaine
the
oyle
prepared
.
In
the
lyke
maner
,
may
an
oyle
be
altogyther
distylled
,
out
of
all
other
spyces
.
I
saw
,
sayth
one
of
Gesnerus
friends
,
a
distyllation
of
the
oyle
of
Nutmegs
,
which
was
an
oyle
drawne
most
pleasant
&
swéet
,
and
of
a
great
yéeld
,
by
an
Alchymist
,
after
this
maner
.
He
tooke
the
Nutmegs
&
brought
them
to
fine
powder
,
on
which
he
powred
two
measures
of
simple
pure
water
,
after
he
shyfted
the
whole
into
a
glasse
Cucurbite
fensed
about
with
that
lute
of
wysedome
(
this
lute
was
made
with
simple
clay
,
to
which
he
mixed
the
shorne
floxe
of
cloath
tempred
with
salt
water
)
euen
as
the
Alchymists
are
woont
to
lute
theyr
bodies
,
for
the
purchasing
of
strong
water
:
after
the
head
set
on
,
he
lyke
luted
the
ioynt
of
the
head
round
about
,
&
the
ioynt
of
the
receauer
in
the
same
maner
,
that
no
spirites
shoulde
breath
forth
.
The
body
thus
fenced
he
set
into
the
Furnace
,
making
vnder
a
soft
fyre
in
the
begynning
,
but
next
a
bygger
,
&
last
a
strong
fire
:
euen
as
they
doe
,
which
distyl
the
strong
water
:
and
drawne
,
it
was
for
truth
an
oyle
most
excellent
of
sauour
,
swymming
aboue
the
water
come
in
the
Receauer
,
which
he
dilygentlie
gathered
:
for
he
affirmed
the
same
to
be
of
great
vertue
in
sundry
matters
.
The
oyle
of
Mace
,
is
of
a
hote
quality
,
&
for
that
cause
the
vse
of
it
is
ryght
profitable
in
the
collicke
passion
,
procéeding
of
a
colde
cause
,
and
of
the
rewme
distylling
or
descending
from
the
head
:
it
comforteth
also
the
heart
,
the
stomacke
,
&
matrice
.
But
a
most
singular
helpe
in
especiall
,
is
felt
of
this
oyle
,
in
the
tremblings
of
the
heart
proceeding
of
feare
,
or
through
the
stopping
of
the
bladder
,
or
matrice
,
it
auayleth
besides
in
the
strangurie
,
and
helpeth
all
diseases
proceeding
of
a
colde
matter
.
A
thrée
or
fowre
droppes
may
be
ministred
or
taken
by
the
mouth
at
a
tyme
,
prepared
with
some
other
dayntye
matter
,
or
in
an
yron
Ladle
or
great
spoone
ouer
the
fyre
:
or
in
a
freshe
draft
of
good
wyne
:
this
borrowed
out
of
an
vnknowne
Aucthor
,
in
the
Germain
tongue
.
An
oyle
out
of
Mace
may
be
gotten
,
by
pressing
forth
,
in
the
same
maner
,
as
shall
after
be
taught
,
in
the
fourme
and
way
of
preparing
the
oyle
of
Cloues
.
An
oyle
distylled
out
of
Pepper
,
hauing
all
those
propertyes
,
which
the
Pepper
it self
,
sauing
that
the
same
burning
which
the
Pepper
procurrth
on
the
tongue
,
is
not
the
lyke
fealt
(
by
tast
)
in
that
oyle
.
This
oyle
of
the
pepper
is
none
other
matter
,
then
an
ayriall
element
seperated
from
the
other
elements
:
euen
as
the
lyke
wee
proue
in
the
distylled
oyle
of
the
vitryoll
,
&
brymstone
.
In
the
same
maner
,
is
the
oyle
of
pepper
throughly
seperated
from
his
burning
,
&
consisteth
or
hath
greater
properties
then
the
Pepper
it selfe
,
&
hath
the
singular
propertie
of
piersing
.
In
the
Collicke
passion
,
and
partes
stuffed
with
much
soft
&
clammy
flewme
,
let
two
or
three
droppes
of
it
be
ministred
or
taken
with
broth
,
vnto
the
cutting
a
sunder
,
and
breaking
away
of
it
.
I
gaue
(
sayth
a
certayne
Practisioner
)
in
the
Tertiane
ague
,
after
a
purgation
,
&
the
bleeding
by
vaine
done
,
thrée
droppes
of
this
oyle
,
with
one
scruple
of
Mina
,
two
howres
before
the
sytte
began
:
and
it
letted
within
once
or
twyse
taking
▪
yea
and
maystred
the
cold
,
the
shaking
,
&
the
Ague
it selfe
,
to
the
wonder
of
the
pacient
.
And
he
further
affyrmeth
of
it
,
that
if
this
auayleth
not
in
the
first
giuing
,
it
wholy
cureth
in
the
second
tyme
.
An
oyle
of
Cloues
is
lyke
prepared
&
gotten
as
the
oyle
of
Iuniper
berries
,
and
not
as
the
oyle
of
Cinamon
.
This
oyle
is
farre
sooner
and
easier
purchased
,
if
the
same
distyllatinn
be
done
with
waters
,
as
oyther
●ayne
,
or
ponde
waters
,
or
other
more
dayntie
waters
.
The
Cloues
besydes
haue
a
farre
more
moysture
contained
in
them
,
then
hath
the
Cinamon
.
There
be
some
(
yea
many
)
which
doe
lyke
prepare
and
get
an
oyle
of
Cloues
,
by
onely
pressing
forth
.
Take
of
Cloues
what
quantity
you
wyl
,
those
beate
in
a
grosse
maner
,
which
after
stiepe
in
Rosewater
so
long
,
vntil
you
thinke
it
hath
throughly
purchased
the
qualities
&
effectes
of
the
Cloues
.
Then
take
a
quantity
of
good
Almondes
,
cleane
&
whyte
scraped
with
a
knyfe
,
those
lightly
cutte
into
pieces
,
which
after
infuse
in
the
sayde
water
,
that
they
may
throughly
drinck
in
of
the
sauour
and
taste
of
the
Cloues
,
those
then
lay
a
sunder
to
drie
:
which
dryed
,
infuse
againe
in
the
sayd
water
,
and
those
drye
againe
,
&
this
doe
for
fowre
tymes
togyther
.
After
put
into
bagges
,
presse
an
oyle
forth
,
which
set
in
the
Sun
to
purify
for
a
tyme
.
And
in
this
maner
also
may
many
profitable
oyles
be
prepared
&
gotten
,
as
an
oyle
out
of
Muske
,
Amber
,
and
Beniamine
,
Storax
,
Cynamon
&
Mace.
This
borrowed
out
of
a
written
booke
,
of
the
Aucthours
.
An
oyle
of
Cloues
,
that
is
as
the
Cloues
it selfe
,
being
hote
and
drye
,
in
the
thyrde
degrée

which
helpeth
the

the
Lyuer
,
the
heart
,
the
humorall
fluxe
of
a
cold
cause
,
&
all
cold
diseases
of
the
stomacke
.
The
Cloues
put
away
Melancholie
spirites
,
and
cleare
the
grosse
:
but
the
oyle
doth
these
farre
excellenter
,
and
as
I
may
soothly
affirme
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
it
hath
all
the
vertues
of
a
Baulme
.
For
this
doth
heale
outwardly
freshe
and
gréene
wounds
.
It
stateth
,
the
yssewing
of
blood
&
water
,
out
of
wounds
.
It
comforteth
within
the
naturall
partes
,
it
purgeth
Melancholy
blood
,
it
comforteth
the
heart
&
head
,
and
doth
especially
helpe
,
the
gyddynesse
of
the
head
,
and
weaknesse
of
sight
:
if
in
the
morning
thrée
or
fowre
drops
of
it
be
taken
fasting
in
a
spoone
,
with
some
pleasaunt
syrupe
,
or
other
daynty

or
in

Of
the
oyle
of
Cloues

wryteth
another
:
who
thus
sayth
,
this
I
dare
affyrme
,
that
it
hath
the
vertues
of
baulme

I
saw
(
sayth

a

closed

healed
by
it

And

well
brayed
,
and
infused
for
a
daye
,
in
sowre
verguice

.
An
oyle
out
of
Masticke
,
is
gotten
by
descention
,
in
a
Retorte
:
in
such
manner
ordred
,
that
the
fyre
be
made
both
aboue

and
vnder
it

and
you
shall
so
purchase
an
oyle
of
Mastick
,
which
after
may
be
rectifyed
,
as
aboue
taught
.
A
certayne
Practisioner
in
the
worthy
Citie
of
Auguste
,
distylleth
it
on
this
wyse
:
in
taking
whole
Masticke
,
and
it
alone
putteth
into
a
Retorte
luted
,
vnto
that
parte
shewing

lying
without
the
Furnace
,
which
hath
fowre
vente
holes
,

couered
aboue

this
with
a
softe
fyre
distyll
:
for
that
which
commeth
,
is
a
marueylous
Baulme
vnto
woundes
.
Note
,
I
haue
distylled
(
sayth
a
certaine
person
,
forgotten
of
the
Aucthour
)
Masticke
by
a
pype
,
but
the
same
woulde
yéelde
no
more
,
then
a
sauour
or
taste
.
Yet
was
that
Masticke
,
neuerthelesse
lyght
and
●orous
in
the
bottome
.
The
water
also
which
remained
in
the
bottome
of
the
Cucurbite
,
was
of
a
yelowishe
colour
,
&
bitterishe
.
And
to
conclude
,
the
Masticke
in
the
boyling
(
then
by
a
Limbecke
)
looseth
a
vertue
,
powred
into
the
same
matter
,
in
which
it
is
boyled
.
Séeyng
the
essence
of
it
,
yéeldeth

A

Assa
dulcis

Caphora
,

&c.
Take
first
a
body
very
well
luted
,
but
of
small
length
,
&
the
necke
somewhat
broken
of

cut
away
with
a
bigge
wyer
redde
hotte
,
that
the
mouth
of
the
glasse
may
be
the
wyder
(
for
into

of
it
must
another
glasse
be
thrust
)
into
which
powre
your

pouder
of
Frankensence
,
or
of
Carabe
,
vnto
the
waight

After
this
,
prepare
another
white

Then
close

With

let

in

▪

But
there
be
which

a

An

that
mayntaineth

in

the

This
helpeth
the
defnesse
of

certaine
drops
into

and
mightily
auayleth
against
all

marueylous

of

and
it
stayeth
the

by
anoynting
the

annoynting
all

shall
speedily
be
cured
of
his

and
many
other
sicknesses

doth
this
precious

cure

The
making

Chapter

A
Water
or
oyle
of
Cynamon
,
is
to
be
requyred
and
coueted
before
other
waters
,
and
Oyles
:
as
the
Cynamon
it selfe
in
respect
to
other
spyces
.
And
the
Cynamon
is
of
a
subtyll
heate
,
through
which
it
especially
auayleth
in
the
wynter
,
in
that
it
strengthneth
then
more
the
stomacke
,
and
marueylously
putteth
away
all
euyll
and
corrupt
moystures
of
the
stomacke
,
and
defendeth
it
from
corrupting
at
all
:
it
also
sharpeneth
the
sight
,
and
openeth
any
maner
stopping
of
the
veynes
and
marueylously
comforteth
the
heart
.
But
an
oyle
distylled
of
it
,
doth
answere
in
generall
to
a
naturall
baulme
,
which
within
helpeth
all
putrifaction
,
and
without
the
body
cureth
all
freshe
woundes
or
vlcers
.
And
the
distylled
water
mightily
auayleth
in
all
colde
diseases
,
as
well
of
men
,
as
women
,
especially
which
haue
a
stomacke
so
affected
,
that
they
haue
no
appetyte
.
When
the
spirites
also
bée
weakned
,
or
the
pacient
weake
,
a
draft
of
this
water
,
with
a
litle
of
good
Malmesie
,
o●
of
the
iuyce
of
the
Pomegranate
,
taken
by
the
mouth
,
woonderfully
auayleth
and
helpeth
.
Men
in
a
maner
dead
,
by
dropping
or
powring
a
droppe
or
two
into
the
mouth
,
doth
recouer
the
person
in
a
swoone
or
traunce
:
especially
which
to
olde
men
many
tymes
hapneth
,
this
is
the
presentest
remedy
.
Mydwiues
and
other
motherlye
women
with
vs
,
carry
of
this
water
with
them
,
and
vse
of
the
same
with
prosperous
successe
,
to
yong
women
in
the
daungerous
traueyle
of
chylde
.
For
doth
in
the
hastening
,
and
helping
forward
of
the
byrth
,
it
is
the
worthyest
remedy
.
The
sundry
maners
,
that
a
water
and
oyle
may
be
distylled
&
gotten
out
of
the
Cynamon
,
shal
by
a
few
examples
here
be
vttered
.
Some
there
be
which
stiepe
the
Cinamon
before
in
Rosewater
,
others
in
whyte
wyne
▪
many
drawe
it
in
a
Cucurbyte
luted
about
,
but
then
is
the
substaunce
lightly
burned
.
If
the
same
be
distylled
in
a
bladder
(
which
the
Apotetaryes
vse
)
it
can
not
then
be
done
without
the
great
quantity
of
Cynamon
.
The
best
maner
and
waye
of
drawing
these
,
is
in
the
vapour
of
boyling
water
:
but
as
touching
the
rehersall
of
these
,
is
here
sufficient
.
The
Poticaries
(
certaine
yeares
past
)
were
woont
,
to
stiepe
the
Cynamon
for
certayne
dayes
,
in
Rosewater
,
as
that
which
regarded
the
heart
,
and
was
alwayes
applyed
for
the
recouerie
of
strength
:
and
for
that
a
lyttle
quantity
of
the
water
,
hath
not
his
smell
,
the
water
is
estéemed
of
the
lesser
value
with
many
.
And
for
that
cause
better
it
is
,
that
the
Cynamon
be
stieped
before
the
distyllation
,
in
olde
pleasaunt
whyte
wyne
,
for
a
certayne
tyme
:
For
on
such
wyse
prepared
,
the
distylled
water
is
caused
the
excellenter
,
and
in
piercing
more
effectuous
.
The
maner
of
preparing
a
water
out
of
Cynamon
,
which
Gesnerus
receiued
of
a
certaine
friend
of
his
,
that
made
great
tryals
,
and
often
distylled
the
same
.
Let
one
pound
of
chosen
Cynamon
be
gotten
,
which
beat
so
fyne
,
that
the
powder
may
passe
through
a
fine
sieue
,
yet
the
whole
you
may
not
worke
to
powder
:
after
put
al
into
a
Cucurbite
,
on
which
powre
of
the
water
of
Borrage
of
Buglosse
,
of
Endiue
,
and
of
baulme
,
of
each
halfe
a
pynt
,
these
let
stand
to
infuse
in
a
glasse
close
stopped
,
for
fowre
or
fiue
daies
.
After
out
of
this
Cucurbite
or
glasse
body
,
let
the
whole
be
shyfted
into
a
copper
body
,
which
you
shall
place
in
a
Furnace
with
his
head
set
vpon
,
&
cooling
beake
fastened
to
after
art
:
and
beware
that
the
body
stand
not
ouer
nigh
the
fyre
,
but
that
an
yron
plate
full
of
holes
,
be
fyxed
in
the
myddle
betweene
,
that
the
fyre
may
so
vent
through
,
and
the
vapour
be
sent
vpwarde
▪
Fyrst
kyndle
or
beginne
with
a
soft
fyre
,
vntyll
the
distyllacion
be
somewhat
come
,
but
increase
after
the
fyre
bygger
and
bygger
,
that
it
may
the
spéedilyer
distyll
forth
.
When
a
measure
is
come
or
dystilled
forth
,
seperate
that
a
part
,
as
principal
,
setting
vnder
another
Receauer
,
for
the
same
which
next
distylleth
&
is
gathered
,
is
much
inferiour
to
the
first
,
and
may
serue
for
new
Cinamon
,
to
be
styeped
in
the
same
.
And
in
the
same
maner
,
may
a
water
be
distilled
out
of
Cloues
.
Where
to
be
noted
,
that
a
maner
and
way
of
cooling
be
vsed
:
as
when
the
water
beginneth
to
waxe
hote
;
to
draw
forth
the
same
,
and
powre
in
colder
water
.
A
water
of
Cinamon
,
if
any
wyl
distyl
by
a
bladder
made
of
copper
,
togyther
with
a
pype
fyxed
to
it
,
passing
through
a
vessell
of
cold
water
:
a
great
quantity
then
shal
be
distylled
togyther
,
for
it
would
not
easily
be
drawne
in
a
small
quantity
.
But
in
a
Cucurbite
dilygently
luted
,
this
speciall
care
is
to
be
had
,
that
your
stuffe
burne
not
to
the
bottome
,
whereby
your
water
then
distylling
forth
may
sauour
of
the
burning
.
That
if
the
fyre
shall
be
hoter
increased
,
an
oyle
also
distylleth
,
and
so
much
the
more
,
if
the
Cynamon
shall
be
stieped
in
good
whyte
wyne
.
A
water
distylled
in
a
Cucurbite
,
is
gathered
whyte
in
the
receauer
.
I
doe
take
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
●
〈◊〉
quantity
of
Cynamon
,
euen
so
much
as
I
thinck
good
,
and
put
the
same
into
a
Cucurbite
or
glasse
body
not
luted
,
togyther
with
water
,
to
stiepe
for
certayne
dayes
,
after
I
distyll
the
substaunce
by
the
vapour
of
boyling
water
,
in
such
sort
that
the
Cucurbite
in
which
the
Cynamon
is
contayned
,
doth
not
touch
the
water
,
as
the
lyke
Manardus
teacheth
:
and
on
such
wyse
I
distylled
and
gathered
a
cleare
water
,
not
troubled
,
nor
the
spirites
also
of
the
Cynamon
heated
to
much
.
Sometymes
when
I
would
haue
the
water
myghtyer
,
I
then
adde
to
it
a
lytle
of
Gynger
.
And
in
this
maner
,
a
certaine
Poticarie
(
with
the
Aucthour
)
distylleth
the
water
of
Cynamon
.
Certayne
others
there
be
,
which
follow
&
vse
this
maner
:
take
of
water
sixteene
partes
,
of
Cynamon
one
parte
,
which
grosely
was
powdred
togyther
,
the
same
after
put
into
a
Cucurbite
to
stiepe
close
stopped
,
for
a
certayne
tyme
,
as
eyther
fowre
,
or
fiue
dayes
:
after
this
set
on
the
head
close
to
the
body
,
and
distyll
the
substaunce
with
a
most
temperate
heate
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
which
excéedeth
not
the
heate
of
mans
vryne
in
the
fyrst
comming
forth
,
for
so
may
a
most
pleasaunt
water
be
drawne
and
purchased
.
In
the
tyme
of
this
boyling
,
may
hote
water
be
powred
in
,
that
a
lyke
quantity
continew
styll
,
for
doubte
of
wasting
awaye
,
and
you
shall
gather
into
a
Receauer
the
distinct
waters
:
as
the
fyrst
a
mightie
water
,
the
second
of
lesser
strength
,
and
the
thyrd
feble
.
And
in
the
lyke
maner
may
all
other
spyces
be
ordered
and
dystilled
:
and
many
distyllers
there
be
,
which
purchase
by
the
same
doing
,
an
oyle
and
water
.
Another
maner
brieflie
,
in
purchasing
the
water
of
Cynamon
:
take
of
chosen
Cynamon
two
ounces
,
of
water
,
a
fowrth
part
of
a
measure
,
of
wyne
so
much
,
these
after
the
myxing
,
distyll
,
as
afore
taught
.
A
certayne
woman
well
practised
,
and
skylfull
in
distyllation
,
prepared
and
drewe
Cynamon
water
,
on
this
wyse
:
but
it
lyttle
dyffereth
,
from
the
wayes
afore
vttered
:
take
of
the
best
Cynamon
fynelye
brought
to
powder
in
a
morter
,
but
not
searsed
,
halfe
a
pounde
,
this
so
charilye
powre
into
the
distyllatorye
bodie
,
that
none
cleaue
on
the
sydes
falling
in
,
on
which
powre
one
measure
and
a
halfe
of
cleare
Cundui●te
water
,
then
set
the
headde
close
to
the
bodye
:
after
distyll
in
the
begynning
with
a
verye
softe
fyre
,
and
increase
the
fyre
by
lyttle
and
lyttle
,
as
you
see
the
droppes
come
,
eyther
quicke
,
or
slowly
:
to
the
Nose
of
the
Lymbecke
or
headde
,
let
a
Pype
bee
fastened
(
as
afore
taught
,
and
demonstrated
)
passing
or
retching
through
colde
water
,
at
the
ende
of
which
a
Receauer
fastened
.
When
the
water
thus
commeth
,
you
shall
néede
thrée
persons
to
stand
by
,
the
one
and
first
to
consider
&
tende
the
head
,
and
pype
,
that
he
or
shee
alwayes
cooleth
them
,
with
lynnen
cloathes
wette
in
colde
water
&
applied
after
discretion
on
the
head
and
pype
,
the
other
standing
by
the
Receauer
,
let
him
obserue
and
marke
the
colour
of
the
water
distylling
into
the
receauer
:
the
thyrde
,
that
he
marke
and
tende
the
glasse
in
such
maner
,
as
when
neede
shall
be
,
to
retche
or
put
vnder
speedily
another
Receauer
,
&
to
take
the
other
againe
,
&
stop
dilygently
.
The
water
distilling
hath
fowre
differences
,
for
which
cause
it
shal
neede
fowre
sundry
receiuers
.
The
first
water
that
commeth
,
is
somewhat
fattie
and
strong
,
and
of
this
,
is
the
best
:
and
as
this
proceedeth
in
distylling
,
&
a
mylkie
colour
beginneth
to
come
,
then
gather
the
second
water
,
which
in
his
fortitude
lacketh
of
the
first
,
or
is
of
a
weaker
vertue
:
&
when
this
colour
is
vanished
,
&
that
the
water
comming
forth
,
as
a
water
distylled
out
of
other
matters
,
remember
&
consider
the
thirde
water
,
which
must
lyke
be
gathered
a
part
or
seuerall
by
it selfe
.
When
this
water
shal
be
turned
into
a
yellowe
colour
,
or
chaunged
yellowishe
,
gather
then
the
fowrth
water
,
which
distylleth
or
commeth
forth
in
a
small
quantity
:
and
the
worke
is
at
an
ende
,
when
certayne
droppes
begynne
to
appeare
of
a
redde
colour
,
at
which
sight
ceasse
,
for
the
rest
behynd
is
of
no
force
,
nor
serueth
to
any
vse
or
purpose
.
Besides
take
héede
,
least
through
the
force
of
the
fyre
your
substance
ouer
high
boyleth
vp
,
&
through
the
same
may
the
distyllacion
procéede
amysse
,
&
in
daunger
of
losing
the
whole
stuffe
.
Of
which
to
be
out
of
doubt
,
you
shall
auoyde
&
end
that
care
(
by
good
gouernment
)
in
the
space
of
one
howre
.
Thrée
droppes
of
this
water
,
myxed
to
other
waters
of
lyke
propertie
aunswering
,
doe
helpe
the
falling
sicknesse
.
If
with
this
,
the
veynes
vnder
the
tongue
be
aptlie
rubbed
,
doth
helpe
the
palsie
persons
in
a
short
tyme
.
Out
of
the
Cynamon
may
by
distyllacion
,
but
a
lyttle
oyle
be
gotten
,
for
which
cause
in
the
steede
of
it
,
we
may
often
vse
the
water
of
Cynamon
,
especially
the
same
which
is
first
gathered
,
for
this
hath
singular
properties
contayned
in
it
.
An
oyle
of
Cynamon
,
is
prepared
&
gotten
on
this
wyse
,
borrowed
out
of
a
certaine
written
coppie
,
of
an
vnknowne
Aucthor
:
take
of
the
best
Malmesie
thrée
measures
,
and
the
same
distylled
twyse
ouer
.
After
let
it
be
a
thyrd
tyme
,

dilygently

that
the

An

whether

be
done
in
the
Sun
,
or
by
distyllacion
properly
,
as
yet
is
not
knowne

But
this
the

learned

knew
,
that
the
Oyle
is
whytishe
and
sweete
smelling
,

hath
very
lytle

nothing

MY
dearelye
beloued
friende
Maister
lacobus
,
of
late
you
required
of
mée
,
that
I
would
open
to
you
my
secrete
of
mannes
blood
,
which
the
dyuine
power
fauouring
and
helping
mée
,
and
by
my
owne
industry
(
although
not
wholy
)
and
by
many
experiences
,
with
the
manifold
labors
bestowed
,
I
haue
founde
some
worthy
practises
,
of
which
I
haue
tried
,
and
those
by
my
letters
,
I
mind
to
vtter
to
you
.
And
although
I
haue
béen
a
long
time
occupyed
about
the
same
,
yet
for
that
I
now
waxe
aged
,
&
set
rancour
or
enuie
aside
,
for
that
cause
,
will
I
fully
open
to
you
,
what
I
many
times
,
haue
experienced
,
by
this
worthy
secrete
.
Therfore
giue
eare
,
and
heare
the
chosen
secretes
,
and
wordes
of
my
mouth
in
that
the
holy
Ghost
,
where
(
it
him
best
liketh
)
breatheth
his
diuine
gifte
▪
and
of
this
,
let
it
be
recluded
in
the
pitte
of
a
penitent
breast
,
if
any
will
make
common
,
or
reueile
this
secret
,
to
either
a
foolishe
,
or
negligent
person
,
which
the
auncient
in
times
past
,
so
carefully
and
busily
sought
,
and
yet
could
not
attaine
the
same
yea
they
many
wayes
practised
,
and
yet
could
not
retche
to
,
nor
purchase
the
same
high
secret
.
For
it
is
celestiall
gift
,
reuealed
to
vs
vnworthy
of
God
,
which
neither
the
Phisitions
before
knew
,
nor
the
Philosophers
also
which
laboured
in
the
déepe
secretes
of
Alchymie
,
found
.
But
I
take
God
to
witnesse
,
that
by
sundry
traueiles
,
which
a
I
long
time
haue
bestowed
(
as
you
know
)
in
the
secrete
Art
of
Alchymie
,
haue
nowe
brought
to
passe
,
that
I
haue
knowen
by
experience
,
such
an
efficacie
to
be
of
this
matter
,
that
the
full
to
vtter
of
the
singuler
vertues
of
it
,
my
wittes
will
not
extend
,
&
for
that
cause
I
reclude
them
,
in
the
pit
of
a
penitent
breast
.
To
come
to
the
matter
,
conceaue
this
secrete
,
that
is
,
mans
blood
,
and
let
the
blood
be
of
healthfull
men
,
about
xxx
.
yéeres
of
age
,
out
of
which
draw
according
to
Art
,
the
fowre
Elements
,
as
you
wel
haue
learned
and
know
by
the
rules
of
Alchymie
,
and
diligently
stoppe
eche
Element
a
part
,
that
no
ayre
breath
forth
.
For
the
water
of
it
auayleth
in
all
sicknesses
,
as
well
hotte
as
colde
,
in
that
the
same
is
of
a
hid
nature
&
propertie
,
&
reduceth
vnto
a
temperament
the
qualitie
decayed
,
and
doth
especially
auaile
in
pacients
corrupted
in
the
spirituall
members
,
&
expelleth
poyson
from
the
heart
.
It
hath
also
the
vertue
to
enlarge
,
and
moysten
the
Arters
,
&
this
I
say
,
through
the
manifest
working
,
that
it
dissolueth
the
grosse
flewme
contained
in
the
Lungs
,
without
harme
,
and
the
same
vlcered
(
no
mightie
matter
hindering
)
it
throughly
healeth
.
And
briefely
,
all
matters
found
in
the
Lungs
,
and
spirituall
members
,
this
singularly
purgeth
,
&
preserueth
those
purged
.
It
clenseth
the
blood
,
without
any
other
medicine
ministred
.
It
cureth
also
,
any
fluxe
of
the
belly
,
and
spéedily
delyuereth
and
healeth
any
impostume
of
the
side
.
The
Ayre
also
distylled
of
it
,
much
auayleth
vnto
the
aforesaid
matters
,
&
perhaps
more
,
then
the
water
,
&
doth
especially
auayle
in
young
persons
,
that
they
may
perseuer
&
continue
in
the
same
state
of
strength
&
youthfull
comlinesse
,
if
they
vse
now
&
than
of
it
,
&
in
a
little
quantitie
at
a
time
.
And
it
is
in
a
manner
of
such
a
vertue
,
that
it
suffereth
the
blood
by
no
meanes
to
putrifie
,
nor
flewme
to
superabound
or
haue
the
ouerhand
,
nor
that
choller
to
burne
.
Further
it
doth
increase
blood
aboue
measure
,
and
for
that
cause
,
it
behoueth
such
vsing
it
,
to
blede
often
by
vaine
.
The
same
Element
besides
doth
open
the
vaine
&
synewes
,
&
if
any
vertue
shall
be
deminished
in
them
,
this
reduceth
it
vnto
a
dew
temperament
.
I
haue
besides
these
prooued
(
saith
the
Aucthour
)
that
if
a
young
person
,
before
the
state
and
rypnesse
of
his
age
,
as
in
the
growing
tyme
,
shall
haue
the
sight
perished
▪
let
hym
euery
day
put
one
droppe
of
this
Element
into
the
eye
,
and
kéepe
him
quiet
for
a
moneth
togither
,
shall
recouer
his
sight
without
doubt
.
If
in
any
member
also
,
any
superfluous
matter
consisteth
,
or
commeth
apt
to
putrifying
,
this
forth
with
dissolueth
and
taketh
it
awaye
,
and
if
it
findeth
any
thing
,
that
is
diminished
,
it
strengthneth
the
same
by
restoring
.
And
this
Element
auayleth
in
the
Ap●plexie
,
the
falling
sicknesse
,
the
dymnesse
of
sight
,
the
mygrynie
,
the
gyddinesse
of
the
head
,
and
in
all
these
it
ought
to
be
ministred
with
some
apt
electuarie
,
auailing
vnto
the
purpose
.
But
the
fyre
purchased
of
it
,
is
more
precious
and
marueylousser
,
and
auayleth
vnto
all
those
,
which
the
ayre
helpeth
,
yea
and
vnto
that
which
more
is
,
of
the
man
dead
,
that
it
restored
to
lyfe
;
this
is
here
so
ment
and
vnderstanded
.
That
if
in
the
howre
of
death
(
yet
resting
or
ye●ing
)
be
giuen
of
this
fyre
,
vnto
the
waight
or
quantitie
of
a
wheate
graine
,
distempered
or
myxed
with
wine
,
in
such
maner
entered
downe
,
that
it
be
past
the
throte
,
it
shall
forthwith
cause
the
person
to
reuyue
againe
,
&
shall
at
the
instant
enter
to
the
heart
it selfe
,
in
expelling
the
superfluous
humours
,
and
with
this
reuyueth
the
naturall
heate
of
his
Lyuer
,
and
quickneth
so
all
the
partes
,
that
it
moueth
the
pacient
&
very
weake
person
,
as
it
were
within
an
howre
to
speake
,
and
to
dispose
and
vtter
his
will
,
&c.
And
on
this
maner
,
I
saw
(
sayeth
the
Aucthour
)
a
myracle
wrought
on
the
noble
Earle
and
deputie
of
Paris
,
which
before
laye
in
a
manner
as
dead
,
and
immediately
after
he
had
receaued
this
downe
,
became
agayne
to
himselfe
somewhat
,
and
within
an
howre
after
dyed
.
And
this
I
ministred
,
and
tryed
in
many
the
lyke
.
If
olde
men
also
vse
of
this
fyre
euerie
daye
,
in
a
lyttle
quantitie
,
it
maketh
olde
age
lustie
,
and
to
continew
in
lyke
estate
a
long
tyme
,
in
that
this
cheareth
their
heartes
,
in
such
manner
:
that
they
wyll
thincke
themselues
to
possesse
In
●enyle
heartes
and
courages
.
And
for
that
cause
thys
fyre
,
is
named
the
Elixir
vitae
:
yet
is
not
this
the
Alchimisters
Elixir
▪
in
that
this
is
prepared
and
drawen
of
putrifyed
blood
.
If
the
same
also
were
made
of
putrifyed
blood
,
then
mans
nature
would
ouermuch
abhorre
such
a
medicine
.
This
conceaue
,
that
if
the
Elementes
shal
be
distilled
a
seconde
time
ouer
,
they
shall
then
be
most
excellent
,
&
through
them
may
a
man
lyue
,
vnto
the
vttermost
peryode
of
his
life
,
without
disease
or
sickenesse
,
if
of
these
be
vsed
,
euery
other
day
.
And
such
a
skill
and
knowledge
consisteth
in
these
last
distillations
,
euen
as
is
in
the
distillations
of
Alchymie
.
Here
note
of
this
mans
blood
,
that
I
doe
myxe
the
same
freshe
drawen
,
wyth
the
strongest
and
best
Aqua
vitae
,
and
doe
distill
〈◊〉
,
and
the
same
shall
serue
,
for
the
fyrst
Elemente
.
And
vpon
the
Feces
,
I
powre
another
most
strong
water
of
lyfe
,
and
distyll
in
lyke
manner
,
and
the
same
shall
be
,
for
the
seconde
Elemente

.
The
oyle
is
on
this
wyse
prepared
:
take
new
waxe
(
&
Gesnerus
iudgeth
virgin
waxe
to
be
taken
)
&
the

especially
fat
,
which
you

with

&
the

you
shall
often
washe

and
thryst
hard
togyther
in
wine
,
which
you
shal
melt
agayne
,
and
into
the
same
molten
,
shall
you
put
many
small
pieces
broken
,
of
Tyles
made
glowing
hote
,
which
may
so
drinck
vp
much
of
the
waxe
,
and
this
doe
a
second
,
and
thyrd
tyme
,
if
néede
shall
requyre
,
vntyll
all
the
waxe
be
thus
druncke
vp
:
which
done
,
put
al
your
small
and
fine
pieces
of
Tyles
,
into
that
croked
body
named
a
Retorte
,
the

dilygently
fence
with
the
lute
of

,
to
which
fasten
a

,
to
receyue
the
drops
distylling
:
the
first
which
commeth
,
wyll
be

,
but
in
the
end
wyl
a
most
pure
oyle
distyl

you
may
vse

Maggius
,
in
the
cure
of
harde
swellings
.
I
learned
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
of
a
certaine
Alchymister
in
Padua
(
in
Italie
)
that
Sande
very
well
washed
,
after
syfted
and
myxed
with
the
waxe
molten
,
would
let
the
rysing
and
boyling
vp
of
the
waxe
.
There
be
some
,
which
to
waxe
,
&
all
other
Rosen
substances
to
be
distylled
,
put
to
glasse
fyne
brought
to
powder
▪
by
which
meanes
it
letteth
the
rysing
of
the
waxe
,
but
this
then
causeth
in
the
distyllacion
,
that
the
oyles
after
distylled
with
it
,
purchase
a
certayne
strange
and
an
vngratefull
sauour
,
through
the
salt
Alkali
,
for
which
cause
,
this
ought
vtterly
to
be
refused
.
Some
say
that
in
the
distylling
it
maketh
a
noyse
,
as
it
woulde
breake
the
glasse
.
The
oyle
of
waxe
worketh
myracles
,
in
the
ceasing
of
paynes
,
as
of
the
gowte
,
and
ioynt
aches
.
This
to
conclude
,
is
a
singuler
remedy
to
many
grieffes
,
and
a
most
temperate
oyle
:
for
which
cause
,
it
is
highly
commended
in
wounds
,
and
vlcers
.
An
oyle
of
waxe
,
that
healeth
the
clofts
&
choppes
of
the
hippes
,
and
choppes
or
other
sorenesse
that
happen
on
the
Tettes
of
womens
breastes
,
borrowed
out
of
a
written
booke
in
the
Italian
tongue
:
take
of
the
oyle
of
new
waxe
distylled
,
by
a
glasse
,
in
the
same
maner
altogither
,
as
the
oyle
of
Frankensence
is
distylled
:
with
this
oyle
annoynt
the
chops
of
the
hyps
,
and
Tettes
of
womens
breasts
,
&
they
are
spedily
healed
:
and
it
nothing
hyndreth
,
that
the
chyld
suck
in
the
night
time
,
for
this
taketh
away
the
paine
.
An
Oyle
of
waxe
myraculous
and
dy●ine
,
that
helpeth
most
diseases
,
and
healeth
a
great
wound
in
ten
or
twelue
dayes
at
the
most
,
but
a
lytle
wound
in
thrée
dayes
,
by
applying
of
the
oyle
on
the
wound
,
&
cloathes
wet
in
it
on
the
place
,
it
stayeth
also
the
shedding
of
the
heyre
of
the

,
&

:
and
giuen
to
the
quantity
of
one
dram
by

,
mightily
deliuereth
the
Collick
,
&
wyndy
gripings
of
the
body
.
The
making
of
the
foresayd
oyle
,
is
on
this
wyse
:
take
a
glasse
Retort
,
which
dilygently
lute
,
into
which
put
such
quantity
of
waxe
as
you
thinck
necessary
,
so
●
it
excedeth
not
the
halfe
of
the
glasse
,
&
to
each
pound
of
the
waxe
,
adde
fowre
ounces
of
Bricke
in
powder
,
or
rather
more
aptlye
(
make
the
waxe
into
many
smal
balles
,
with
the
powder
of
the
Brick
)
which
after
put
into
a
Retort
,
setting
it
into
a
pan
of
ashes
,
or
sande
,
vnder
which
make
a
soft
fyre
,
vntil
al
the
oyle
be
come
,
which
although
it
conieale
or
thicken
in
the
glasse
,
it
forceth
not
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
as
touching
to
his
perfection
:
for
if
you
should
distill
the
oyle
so
often
ouer
,
vntyll
it
wyll
no
more
conieale
,
it
would
be
●uer
hote
,
and
sharpe
to
take
by
the
mouth
:
so
that
once
distylled
sufficeth
,
to
be
gyuen
inward
,
and
to
annoynt
on
the
outward
parts
of
the
body
:
that
alwayes
helpeth
,
and
neuer
harmeth
.

THe
preparing
and
making
of
an
Oyle
of
Antymonie
,
which
I
receyued
and
learned
of
a
certayne
friend
,
is
on
this
wyse
:
take
of
crude
Antymonie
,
and
of
crude
Tartare
,
of
each
halfe
a
pound
,
these
after
the
beating
togyther
in
a
morter
,
or
labouring
on
a
stone
,
put
into
a
pot
well
glased
before
,
the
mouth
of
which
let
be
close
couered
,
with
a
couer
&
lute
,
that
no
ayre
after
breath
forth
,
and
the
pot
so
prepared
,
giue
to
the
potter
,
to
set
among
other
pottes
to
bake
in
his
Furnace
.
For
by
this
burning
it
is
made
a
paste
,
and
blackishe
or
swartishe
redde
of
colour
,
rounde
formed
,
and
easily
brought
to
powder
:
which
after
the
potte
is
through
colde
,
&
the
pot
opened
,
let
the
substaunce
be
taken
forth
,
beaten
,
&
brought
agayne
into
fine
powder
,
after
powred
againe
into
another
pot
well
glased
,
on
which
powre
distylled
vineger
so
much
,
that
it
may
lie
two
fingers
breadth
aboue
the
substance
:
this
pot
then
set
on
a
Furnace
to
be
heated
,
that
the
vyneger
may
approche
&
drawe
to
a
rednesse
,
and
with
the
same
coloured
.
And
it
ought
to
stande
on
the
Furnace
,
for
thrée
or
fowre
howers
,
the
vyneger
after
shyfted
into
a
distyllatory
of
glasse
,
&
other
vineger
powred
vpon
:
and
the
same
so
often
doe
(
I
suppose
sixe
,
or
eyght
tymes
)
vntyll
the
vyneger
be
no
more
coloured
.
All
that
coloured
vineger
powred
forth
,
distyll
by
a
Lymbecke
,
that
the
vyneger
may
so
be
seperated
by
distyllacion
,
&
the
redde
substaunce
abyde
or
remaine
in
the
bottome
.
Which
done
,
breake
the
glasse
,
taking
the
whole
forth
,
which
cleaueth
or
sticketh
to
the
glasse
,
&
put
into
an
ypocrase
bagge
made
of
whyte
cloath
,
the
same
hang
in
a
cold
&
moyst
Seller
,
where
the
oyle
wyll
distyll
forth
drop
by
drop
,
into
a
glasse
standing
vnder
.
And
in
this
maner
,
was
a
certayne
Practisioner
,
woont
often
to
prepare
and
make
the
same
.
An
oyle
of
Antimonie
also
is
gotten
after
this
maner
,
communicated
to
Gesnerus
,
by
a
most
skylful
practisioner
,
in
the
making
of
this
matter
.
Let
the
Antimonie
be
brought
into
most
fine
powder
,
and
powred
into
a
glasse
bodie
,
on
which
a
most
sharpe
wyne
vyneger
powred
,
and
the
same
distylled
,
stiepe
on
a
soft
heate
of
fire
,
(
least
the
glasse
breake
)
so
long
tyme
,
vntyll
the
vineger
be
chaunged
redde
.
The
same
thus
coloured
,
powre
into
another
glasse
,
and
on
the
Feces
powre
new
distylled
vineger
,
vntyll
the
same
in
lyke
maner
hath
purchased
a
redde
colour
.
These
powrings
vpon
,
and
addicions
of
new
vineger
on
the
Feces
,
ought
so
often
to
be
repeated
,
vntyl
the
powders
send
out
of
them
no
more
rednesse
.
The
vineger
all
gathered
ought
to
be
distylled
with
a
soft
fyre
,
vntyll
the
rednesse
begynning
a
lytle
&
lytle
to
thicken
,
seame
to
aryse
&
appeare
in
the
head
.
Then
are

melting
pot
,
which
closely
luted
&
stopped
,
set
into
a
Furnace
for
two
howres
,
&
it
wyl
well
be
calcyned
,
the
same
after
it
be
cooled
,
and
the
mouth
of
the
pot
opened
,
you
shall
finde
the
substance
in
the
pot
,
to
be
of
a
darcke
ashie
colour
,
myxed
with
certayne
yellow
spottes
.
This
then
beaten
in
a
morter
,
put
into
hote
water
,
and
boyled
in
an
yron
panne
,
let
the
whole
be
after
distylled
by
fyltering
,
which
distylleth
lyke
to
lye
.
The
first
water
yssewing
is
redde
&
troubled
,
which
poured
after
on
the
Feces
,
wyll
distyll
&
be
gathered
cleare
.
This
water
then
euaporate
in
a
glasse
Cucurbite
in
sande
,
vntyll
the
substance
be
left
drye
,
or
the
moysture
resolued
.
But
this
matter
left
in
the
sande
distyll
,
as
first
with
a
soft
fyre
,
after
with
a
stronger
,
vntyll
the
spirites
of
the
Antimonie
begyn
to
ascend
,
&
begyn
as
it
were
to
colour
the
necke
of
the
Lymbeck
lyke
golde
.
Then
set
the
matter
in
it selfe
,
be
cyrculated
.
Some
report
,
that
if
thynne
syluer
plates
be
layd
in
this
that
they
are
wholye
gylded
,
&
appeare
like
golde
,
in
such
maner
,
that
rubbed
with
the
touch
stone
,
they
yet
appeare
as
gold
.
But
I
suppose
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
that
it
wyll
be
farre
better
,
if
the
first
troubled
water
coloured
be
kept
a
part
,
and
new
powred
on
the
Feces
:
for
peraduenture
the
seconde
and
thyrd
water
,
would
draw
&
carry
with
them
more
of
the
rednesse
of
the
Antimonie
,
which
after
gathered
into
one
,
may
then
be
drawne
with
a
soft
fyre
,
vntyll
the
oylie
rednesse
appearing
.
Another
maner
,
which
a
certaine
practisioner
often
exercised
&
vsed
:
let
first
the
rednesse
of
the
Antimonie
,
drawne
many
tymes
by
the
distylled
vineger
,
as
is
aboue
taught
,
&
let
the
exhaltacion
of
the
vineger
be
after
done
on
a
soft
fyre
,
and
the
redde
powder
preserued
in
the
bottome
.
Let
the
Quintessence
then
of
wyne
be
powred
to
it
,
&
stande
to
cyrculate
togyther
for
forty
dayes
:
this
after
may
safely
be
ministred
by
the
mouth
,
into
the
bodie
.
Another
maner
,
of
the
same
Aucthor
:
take
the
Tartare
calcyned
vnto
a
whytnesse
,
let
it
runne
with
the
Antimonie
in
a
gold●smit●es
Crucible
,
this
after
brought
into
powder
,
dissolue
in
hote
water
:
and
you
shal
so
finde
a
certayne
rednesse
to
swym
aboue
the
water
,
all
which
gathered
,
&
put
into
a
retort
,
a
water
first
ysseweth
,
&
a
most
bewtiful
redde
oyle
after
foloweth
,
let
the
same
be
cyrculated
for
▪
xl
.
dayes
,
&
the
best
oyle
of
Antimonie
wyl
then
be
purchased
,
lesse
corros●ue
.
And
this
maner
,
who
that
can
be
vnderstand
and
compasse
,
shall
attaine
a
rytch
oyle
,
singular
in
many
causes
.
Another
oyle
of
Antimonie
,
learned
of
a
Frenche
Empericke
:
take
of
Antimonie
two
pounds
,
of
Tartare
,
&
of
salt
nyter
,
of
each
thrée
ounces
,
of
copper
Incisione
pound
,
al
these
grinded
togither
,
put
after
into
a
glasse
body
,
&
not
vnglased
body
,
which
set
into
a
furnace
,
make
a
great
fire
for
three
howres
.
After
the
cooling
of
the
vessell
by
the
owne
accord
,
breake
the
vessel
,
&
you
shal
find
in
the
bottom
the
Mercurie
of
the
Antimonie
seperated
from
the
brimstone
,
which
you
shal
seperate
from
the
vpper
:
this
done
,
burne
after
the
vpper
face
so
long
,
vntyl
it
be
come
impalpable
,
&
of
a
redde
color
,
the
same
then
put
into
a
glasse
Lymbeck
wel
luted
,
if
it
afore
be
dissolued
in
most
strong
vineger
.
Which
distyll
after
the
maner
&
order
of
strong
water
,
&
you
shall
possesse
a
most
precious
oyle
lyke
to
blood
.
Note
,
that
the
Mercurie
drawne
out
of
the
Antimonie
,
is
a
most
pure
golde
,
with
which
if
you
wyll
colour
,
take
then
of
the
oyle
of
Antimonie
one
ounce
,
of
Aeris
v●●i
,
&
of
Viridis
aeris
,
of
each
thrée
ounces
,
of
Vermilon
or
Cinnabaris
fifteene
ounces
,
of
salt
nyter
fiue
ounces
,
of
the
abouesayd
whyte
gold
fowre
pounds
,
these
put
into
an
earthen
vessel
wel
luted
,
and
set
in
an
open
furnace
,
with
fyre
for
sixe
howers
,
and
you
shall
then
finde
a
cytrin●
mass●
:
which
put
vnto
the
royall
cemente
,
after
vnto
Capella
,
and
you
shal
obtayne
most
pure
golde
.
But
these
royall
cements
,
and
the
Capellas
also
,
doe
goldsmythes
prepare
and
make
.
Another
discription
of
the
Oyle
of
Antymonie
,
not
to
be
contempned
,
communicated
to
Gesnerus
by
a
skylfull
practisioner
,
and
very
studious
in
these
matters
.
Take
of
Antymonie
thrée
pounds
or
fowre
,
which
dyssolue
in
a
goldsmythes
pot
,
that
it
may
runne
.
After
powre
a
measure
of
vineger
,
into
an
earthen
glased
vessell
:
which
done
,
and
the
Antymonie
molten
,
let
him
then
instyll
by
great
care
&
dyligence
,
a
little
of
this
molten
Antymonie
into
the
vineger
(
taking
diligent
care
,
that
you
instyll
not
to
much
at
one
tyme
,
in
that
the
vessell
then
breaking
,
you
should
lose
both
oyle
&
your
labour
)
&
a
red
fume
wyl
breath
forth
,
&
the
vineger
also
wyl
become
so
red
as
blood
.
So
that
by
times
,
&
a
litle
&
lytle
,
and
euen
by
drops
as
it
were
,
must
the
whole
Antimonie
be
thus
instilled
.
For
the
same
is
in
a
glasse
bodie
,
that
the
vineger
floting
aboue
it
,
must
alwayes
be
seperated
,
&
so
often
,
as
it
is
molten
in
the
goldsmythes
vessell
.
The
Antimonie
then
must
be
againe
molten
in
the
Crucible
,
as
afore
,
&
as
the
same
shall
be
molten
,
it
must
then
by
lytle
and
lytl●●e
instylled
into
the
vineger
▪
as
aboue
taught
,
&
the
same
ought
to
be
repeated
seuen
tymes
,
that
it
may
so
drawe
and
gather
both
the
property
and
rednesse
.
The
vineger
is
consumed
by
the
same
order
,
&
for
that
cause
must
other
vineger
be
powred
vpon
(
for
if
the
pot
or
vessell
shall
remayne
eyther
emptie
,
or
bée
ouer
fylled
,
the
vessell
breaketh
:
for
which
cause
,
you
must
especially
take
heede
of
the
excesse
)
least
the
vessell
by
such
meanes
breaketh
.
That
if
it
shall
be
repeated
seuen
tymes
,
let
the
redde
vineger
in
a
glasse
body
dilygently
luted
,
be
distilled
in
ashes
:
and
a
whyte
vineger
wyl
yssew
,
but
the
oyle
remaineth
behynd
in
the
bottome
.
Which
on
this
wyse
done
,
and
the
spring
or
Cunduicte
water
left
so
with
the
oyle
for
a
tyme
,
that
softly
powred
forth
,
and
distylled
againe
,
the
sauour
af
the
vineger
may
so
be
taken
from
the
oyle
.
The
same
after
it
shall
be
thus
twyse
togyther
ordred
,
that
is
,
the
second
tyme
Cunduite
water
shal
be
powred
vpon
,
&
by
distyllacion
shall
after
seperate
the
same
,
you
shall
then
obtayne
a
swéete
oyle
of
Antimonie
,
in
the
bottome
of
the
Cucurbite
or
glasse
bodie
.
But
this
forme
and
maner
of
dystylling
,
can
not
so
well
be
vttered
and
discrybed
in
wordes
,
as
by
demonstracion
to
the
eye
,
and
syght
of
the
same
done
.
This
waye
and
manner
also
of
making
the
Oyle
of
Antimonie
,
is
not
to
be
contempned
:
which
as
it
should
seame
,
Theophrastus
Paracelsus
,
accoumpted
for
a
rare
secrete
.
He
tooke
of
Antimonie
halfe
a
pounde
,
of
Sugarcandie
sixe
ounces
,
these
brought
to
fine
powder
,
distyl
in
sande
,
or
in
Balneo
,
according
to
arte
.
Of
this
oyle
take
one
ounce
,
of
Aloes
succotryne
halfe
an
ounce
,
of
Amber
two
drams
,
of
Saffron
thrée
drams
,
these
after
reduce
into
a
masse
,
of
which
make
small
pylles
,
according
to
discretion
:
let
thrée
of
these
be
mynistred
or
gyuen
by
the
mouth
,
with
the
conserue
of
Borrage
,
before
the
fytte
of
the
Ague
,
and
the
pacient
procured
to
sweate
,
if
it
be
possible
.
I
heare
of
an
oyle
of
Antimonie
,
to
be
distylled
in
the
worthy
Citie
of
Vlmes
in
Germanie
,
by
a
notable
Phisition
,
in
the
lyke
order
and
maner
,
as
the
strong
water
(
or
water
of
seperation
)
is
woont
to
be
made
.
Which
afore
wrought
into
most
fine
powder
,
and
myxt
with
a
small
quantity
of
good
Aqua
vitae
:
for
thus
prepared
,
it
may
aptlie
be
applyed
and
giuen
by
the
mouth
,
for
the
healing
of
vlcers
within
the
bodie
.
Such
an
oyle
also
is
exercysed
and
vsed
of
the
Chyrurgians
,
in
the
Cittie
of
Norimberge
,
which
applyed
,
doth
forth
with
eate
or
take
away
superfluous
,
or
rotten
fleshe
.
This
oyle
of
the
Antimonie
is
prepared
,
with
the
salt
G●mme
,
and
Ammoniacum
.
Another
maner
of
oyle
there
is
,
which
a
certayne
practisioner
druncke
before
mée
(
but
certayne
affyrme
the
same
not
to
bée
an
oyle
,
but
rather
a
certayne
washing
or
Lye
)
yet
I
suppose
the
same
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
to
be
distylled
.
Others
affyrme
it
to
be
prepared
,
lyke
the
oyle
of
Vitryoll
:
of
which
matter
,
reade
more
in
that
booke
named
Coelum
Philosophorum
,
where
the
maner
of
such
a
preparing
,
and
this
oyle
is
fully
taught
.
And
I
heare
(
●sayth
the
Aucthour
)
that
the
Chyrurgians
of
Norimberge
doe
much
and
often
vse
this
oyle
.
There
is
besydes
a
certayne
oyle
prepared
and
made
,
which
by
reason
of
the
rednesse
,
is
named
the
blood
of
Stibium
,
which
oyle
is
most
singular
vnto
créeping
vlcers
,
and
maligne
to
cure
,
for
this
dryeth
&
taketh
away
all
the
malignity
of
them
:
and
this
oile
is
made
after
this
maner
,
out
of
the
learned
Fallopio
of
Mettals
or
mynes
.
They
take
(
sayth
he
the
Regulum
of
Antimonie
,
which
is
here
ment
the
Antimonie
,
fyue
or
sixe
tymes
molten
&
cooled
.
For
they
take
the
Stibium
,
melting
if
,
and
letting
it
coole
,
which
they
agayne
melt
,
and
coole
the
same
,
&
procéede
after
this
maner
,
vnto
the
fyft
,
or
syxt
time
:
so
that
the
Stibium
which
the
last
tyme
remaineth
cooled
&
compact
,
they
name
Regulum
.
Now
they
take
this
Regulum
,
&
soften
it
on
a
marble
,
on
which
they
powre
the
distilled
vineger
,
&
when
the
same
shall
be
very
well
softned
:
they
put
into
an
ypocrasse
bagge
to
fylter
,
and
powre
distilled
vineger
vpon
,
vntyl
the
Antimonie
shal
be
wholy
dyssolued
&
molten
through
,
and
that
nothing
remayneth
behynd
in
the
fylter
or
bagge
,
but
all
fyltred
into
the
vessell
set
vnder
.
They
after
take
the
strayning
,
or
that
lycour
,
and
put
it
into
a
Lymbeck
,
&
dra●re
forth
a
lycor
:
which
drawne
,
there
remaineth
a
certayne
substance
in
the
bottome
of
the
Lymbeck
,
lyke
to
a
redde
feces
,
which
they
take
,
&
put
into
a
fyltring
cloath
,
hanging
it
in
a
moyst
place
,
that
the
feces
may
so
melt
(
through
the
moysture
of
the
place
)
into
a
vessell
standing
vnder
:
and
the
same
which
melteth
and
runneth
through
,
is
the
oyle
,
which
otherwyse
is
named
the
blood
of
the
Antimonie
,
a
medycine
(
as
aboue
vttered
)
the
notablest
vnto
creeping
,
and
wicked
vlcers
.
An
oyle
of
Antimonie
,
which
is
the
flower
of
all
mettalles
,
redde
in
colour
,
as
the
Rubyne
(
for
so
doth
some
,
comm●nd
it
)
it
may
safelye
be
taken
by
the
mouth
,
vnto
the
wayght
of
thrée
graines
:
for
in
tast
it
is
swéete
,
pertaking
most
lightly
of
a
sharpnesse
:
he
valewed
fowre
drams
wayght
of
it
,
at
two
Crownes
.
He
knew
lytle
vse
or
none
of
it
,
yet
inuented
he
(
at
the
first
)
to
sell
the
same
of
a
great
pryce
.
I
my selfe
tasted
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
&
found
a
certaine
sweetnesse
of
it
,
&
saw
the
rednesse
tending
vnto
a
sanguine
colour
:
and
a
droppe
or
two
let
fall
into
water
,
went
to
the
bottome
.
This
out
of
a
letter
sent
vnto
Gesnerus
.
Another
redde
oyle
of
Antimonie
,
the
ab●●esayd
person
hath
,
which
I
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
neuer
saw
,
vnlike
to
the
first
colour
,
and
of
a
burning
qualitye
,
whose
smallest
portion
prouooked
the
bladder
,
&
burned
,
that
vnto
this
daye
,
the
least
portion
of
it
,
dare
not
safely
be
gyuen
,
through
the
wicked
quality
not
sufficiently
corrected
(
whether
of
the
crude
qualitie
,
I
can
not
iustly
report
.
)
This
oyle
powred
to
Aqua
fortis
(
through
the
vitriol
,
the
Alome
,
and
salt
peter
)
it
stayneth
Mercurie
of
a
yellow
colour
.
These
I
vnderstoode
of
him
,
in
that
I
could
not
come
to
the
sight
of
it
:
he
esteemed
or
valued
half
an
ounce
of
this
oyle
:
at
a
Floreyne
.
This
I
learned
by
the
letters
of
a
certayne
Phisition
vnto
Gesnerus
.
The
oyle
or
Quintessence
of
Antimonie
,
when
the
same
is
prepared
and
made
after
a
dewe
fourme
and
maner
,
is
a
most
precious
medycine
,
to
be
vsed
as
well
within
the
bodie
,
as
without
,
and
the
quantity
of
one
drop
giuen
at
a
tyme
by
the
mouth
,
eyther
with
wyne
or
broth
,
or
any
other
distylled
water
,
doth
as
well
emptie
the
bodie
by
vomytting
,
as
downewarde
by
syege
:
&
this
giuen
to
a
sicke
person
,
doth
throughly
cure
him
of
any
crude
,
and
maligne
kynde
of
sicknesse
:
as
by
tryall
,
a
further
truth
may
be
knowne
.
And
this
locally
applyed
on
wicked
vlcers
,
doth
marueylously
clense
them
.
The
making
of
which
oyle
or
quintessence
,
is
on
this
wyse
:
take
a
quantity
of
the
strongest
vineger
,
the
same
distyl
thrise
ouer
,
to
which
ad
of
Antimonie
so
much
as
you
wyl
,
brought
to
fine
powder
,
these
put
togyther
in
a
body
of
glasse
,
but
let
the
vyneger
flote
thrée
fingers
aboue
the
Antimonie
,
then
sturre
them
very
wel
togither
,
&
setting
the
body
on
hote
imbers
,
let
the
substaunce
boyle
a
lytle
space
,
vntyll
the
vineger
become
redde
,
which
after
the
being
redde
,
let
then
setle
,
vntyl
it
appeare
cleare
,
the
same
empty
into
another
body
,
and
on
the
feces
powre
the
lyke
quantity
of
distylled
vineger
,
as
afore
taught
:
the
same
a
whyles
boyle
,
&
empty
after
into
another
body
:
&
doe
on
this
maner
so
often
,
vntyl
the
vineger
wyl
no
more
be
changed
,
&
become
redde
:
this
done
,
the
feces
throw
away
,
and
all
the
redde
vineger
gathered
,
powre
into
a
crooke
necked
body
or
Retort
,
that
is
verie
well
luted
,
and
distyll
the
vyneger
,
which
wyll
yssew
forth
cleare
&
whyte
:
but
take
dilygent
heede
,
when
the
redde
droppes
begynne
to
distyll
:
at
the
sight
of
which
,
draw
away
the
receauer
with
the
vyneger
,
putting
vnder
another
glasse
,
and
the
fyre
increase
stronger
&
stronger
,
vnto
the
ende
of
the
worke
,
or
that
all
the
substance
be
yssewed
forth
:
for
this
come
,
is
the
quintessence
of
the
Antimonie
,
which
diligently
kéepe
in
a
glasse
close
stopped
,
that
no
ayre
breath
forth
.
And
this
is
the
myraculous
oyle
,
that
mortifyeth
all
kynds
of
rotten
and
wicked
vlcers
:
for
by
bathing
on
them
with
the
sayde
oyle
,
are
mortifyed
,
for
which
cause
this
healeth
them
in
a
short
tyme
,
and
with
easinesse
:
and
gyuen
besydes
with
any
lycour
by
the
mouth
,
doth
heale
any
wicked
sicknesse
,
as
aboue
vttred
.
So
that
this
Quintessence
of
Antimonie
,
may
be
accoumpted
and
named
a
holy
lycour
,
and
precious
for
the
health
of
mans
body
.
This
borrowed
out
of
the
singuler
practyses
of
the
gréeke
,
Leonard
Fiorauant
.
Of
the
same
,
doth
a
certayne
Phisition
thus
wryte
:
I
fynde
the
oyle
of
Antimonie
to
be
prepared
and
made
,
by
Stibium
most
finely
brought
to
powder
,
and
so
often
washed
and
infused
in
dystyll
vineger
,
vntyll
it
wyl
no
more
colour
nor
stayne
the
fingers
,
which
after
sublyme
:
for
this
they
say
,
to
auayle
against
the
vlcered
Canker
,
that
it
créepeth
no
further
:
and
so
to
let
or
staye
,
that
the
Canker
eateth
nor
payneth
any
more
.
An
oyle
of
Antimonie
of
the
Alchymistes
,
vnto
the
colouring
of
Luna
or
Syluer
,
is
on
this
wyse
prepared
,
as
I
found
the
same
wrytten
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
in
an
olde
Alchymy
booke
.
Take
a
a
quantity
of
vineger
three
tymes
distylled
ouer
,
in
this
dyssolue
of
salt
artyficiall
one
part
,
of
salt
Alkali
two
partes
,
after
the
dyssoluing
,
distyll
a
strong
water
.
Then
take
of
Antimonie
,
so
much
as
you
shal
thinck
needeful
,
powring
of
the
sayd
water
vpon
,
and
distilled
with
a
soft
fyre
,
powre
vpon
the
water
againe
,
&
this
doe
for
fowre
times
togither
.
In
the
end
,
when
the
moisture
shal
ascend
,
&
that
whytishe
fumes
appeare
,
then
by
increasing
the
fire
stronger
&
stronger
,
you
shall
purchase
the
true
oyle
of
Antimonie
.
Of
this
oile
take
three
parts
,
of
the
oyle
of
the
Sun
one
part
,
of
the
oile
of
Mercurie
one
part
,
these
put

Of
the
preparation
of
Antimonie

The
▪
.xxvj.
Chapter
.
A
Certaine
practisioner
in
the
Citie
of
Vlma
in
Germany
,
chose
the
Stibium
,
that
had
long
strakes
within
,
which
the
longer
they
were
,
so
much
the
better
he
accoumpted
it
:
&
he
tooke
away
the
vpper
part
,
or
his
spume
,
he
after
tenne
or
fowretéene
dayes
,
grynded
the
Stibium
on
a
marble
with
vineger
,
for
one
day
styll
or
continually
:
but
in
the
nyght
he
letteth
it
alwayes
drye
,
and
the
next
daye
he
alwayes
gryndeth
it
agayne
.
The
precious
stone
of
Antimonie
,
cleare
through
as
the
Iacynt
,
they
prepare
and
make
after
this
maner
:
the
fine
powder
of
the
Stibium
they
put
into
a
goldsmithes
Crucible
,
couering
the
same
with
another
Crucible
,
which
two
they
close
&
fast
lute
togyther
with
strong
lute
,
letting
the
lute
drye
.
After
they
set
the
Crucibles
on
the
fyre
and
couer
them
wholie
,
vntyll
the
powders
melt
and
runne
within
:
this
masse
then
taken
out
,
&
brought
to
fine
powder
,
they
thus
commyt
to
the
fyre
,
for
two
or
three
tymes
togyther
,
and
at
the
thyrd
time
,
they
powre
the
lyquide
masse
,
on
a
smooth
Marble
stone
,
which
sone
coniealeth
and
is
harde
,
and
is
transparent
or
to
be
seene
through
,
euen
as
a
precious
stone
or
glasse
.
It
is
sufficiently
burned
or
calcyned
,
by
twyse
doing
ouer
,
and
at
the
thyrd
tyme
molten
,
and
powred
forth
.
Another
preparation
of
Antimonie
,
not
much
dyffering
from
the
same
,
which
Matthiolus
in
his
second
edicion
of
Dioscorides
discribeth
,
sauing
that
he
addeth
also
certaine
other
things
,
where
here
nothing
at
al
is
mixed
.
Take
of
crude
Antimonie
,
the
same
grind
very
fine
on
a
stone
,
which
put
into
a
small
Crucible
,
not
glased
,
setting
it
vnto
a
soft
fyre
,
that
the
same
may
putrify
&
be
clensed
:
and
stur
it
continually
with
an
Iron
spattle
,
vntill
the
substance
begin
to
gather
vp
rounde
,
which
then
remoue
or
take
away
,
and
grind
the
like
on
a
stone
,
as
afore
,
&
put
into
the
Crucible
,
setting
the
same
to
the
fire
againe
,
&
let
this
so
often
times
be
done
,
vntil
the
pouder
be
chaunged
&
come
vnto
an
Ashie
white
color
,
&
this
will
be
,
about
the
x.
or
twelf
,
or
more
times
.
After
let
this
be
put
into
a
like
Crucible
,
that
the
goldsmythes
commonly
vse
,
&
the
same
Artly
couered
,
set
into
coales
,
that
they
may
lie
burning
thrée
fingers
aboue
the
Crucible
,
for
on
such
wise
,
shal
the
substance
melt
&
be
decocted
sufficiently
,
within
the
space
of
half
an
howre
,
the
same
after
take
forth
,
&
powre
into
thin
plates
in
a
latton
basen
,
&
cooled
,
keepe
diligently
in
a
dry
bore
.
For
you
shal
haue
,
that
you
desire
.
A
certaine
preparation
of
Antimonie
,
which
many
hyde
for
a
most
great
secret
,
&
this
discription
did
a
notable
Phisition
send
vnto
Gesnerus
,
who
was
a
singuler
frend
of
Gesnerus
.
After
that
the
Stibium
is
calcyned
,
it
must
so
often
be
powred
forth
,
as
the
same
may
be
molten
,
in
a
Crucible
.
And
the
same
ought
so
often
be
molten
,
as
any
impure
matter
remaineth
in
it
,
&
for
that
cause
,
the
spume
alwayes
gathered
away
.
And
at
the
last
melting
,
but
litle
of
the
spume
must
be
taken
away
,
&
the
same
part
to
which
the
spume
cleaueth
,
(
as
a
cloude
)
must
be
throwen
away
.
The
same
is
rightly
prepared
,
that
is
cleare
and
to
be
seen
through
,
in
a
maner
without
any
spot
,
after
the
forme
of
a
Iacint
,
which
neerer
draweth
or
approcheth
to
a
yelow
,
them
vnto
a
red
&
blackish
colour
.
And
the
same
the
paler
it
appeereth
,
so
much
the
better
it
is
,
so
that
it
be
pure
,
without
any
cloude
,
or
blacke
spotte
.
An
Antimonie
like
to
glasse
,
that
may
be
séen
through
,
&
draweth
to
a
rednesse
,
communicated
to
Gesnerus
as
a
secret
,
by
a
singuler
Phisition
.
First
take
of
Antimonie
finely
brought
to
pouder
(
on
a
stone
,
or
Marble
)
so
much
as
you
thinke
néedeful
,
the
same
put
into
a
new
earthen
pot
not
glased
,
which
set
on
a
meane
fire
,
in
such
order
,
that
it
may
seeme
to
leane
on
the
one
side
,
as
the
pots
that
burne
the
leade
,
&
to
stur
after
the
substance
about
with
a
spatle
.
But
when
the
matter
beginneth
first
to
fume
(
of
the
fume
shal
you
beware
,
as
you
wold
of
poison
,
if
you
be
wise
)
which
after
powre
on
a
Marble
,
&
grind
about
,
vntill
the
same
be
cold
.
This
then
put
againe
into
the
pot
,
sturring
the
same
(
as
aboue
taught
)
&
when
it
beginneth
to
fume
,
powre
it
forth
&
grind
the
same
,
as
afore
rehersed
.
This
so
often
repeate
,
vntill
it
approcheth
to
a
browne
colour
,
or
otherwise
is
as
black
as
glasse
,
which
is
performed
in
a
maner
by
the
tenth
time
repeated
.
Then
take
of
crude
Antimonie
half
an
ounce
,
which
melt
at
a
strong
fire
,
and
of
the
browne
Antimonie
burnt
&
brought
to
pouder
,
as
aboue
vttered
,
fowre
ounces
,
these
by
litle
&
litle
put
into
a
Crucible
,
vnto
the
time
the
halfe
ounce
of
of
the
Antimonie
molten
,
&
the
whole
be
powred
in
,
which
so
melt
togither
,
&
when
it
shal
be
a
whiles
thus
molten
,
powre
the
substance
on
a
smooth
&
cold
stone
.
The
same
cooled
melt
againe
,
&
repeate
the
like
,
vntil
it
sheweth
as
glasse
of
a
firie
colour
,
or
like
to
a
Rubine
.
That
if
you
shal
diligently
marke
,
&
follow
this
order
,
you
can
not
erre
(
beleeue
me
)
sayth
the
Authour
.
Of
the
Antimonie
thus
prepared
,
they
mixe
a
few
graines
(
either
fiue
,
or
sixe
)
with
one
scruple
of
the
iuyce
of
blacke
Ellebere
artificially
drawen
,
or
more
,
&
they
forme
pilles
of
the
same
,
which
they
name
the
pilles
of
life
that
do
marueilous
matters
,
as
they
report
.
And
that
the
reader
should
not
be
frustrate
of
any
matter
,
nor
of
the
preparation
of
this
iuyce
,
for
the
cause
I
wil
not
here
discame
to
write
the
same
,
that
al
men
may
conceiue
,
that
there
consisteth
nothing
in
me
worthy
memory
,
that
I
refrain
to
vtter
,
&
make
knowen
to
the
world
,
so
wel
of
mine
owne
practises
,
as
those
learned
and
purchased
of
the
singuler
Gesnerus
,
to
the
benefite
of
all
young
students
,
&
fauourers
of
good
knowledge
.
Therfore
vnderstand
,
that
the
iuyce
of
the
Ellebore
is
thus
drawen
,
let
one
pound
of
the
blacke
Ellebore
be
stieped
in
hot
water
for
certain
howres
,
the
same
them
shifted
forth
,
powre
vpon
other
freshe
water
,
&
the
same
repeate
ii●
.
or
v.
times
,
&
in
the
end
that
water
,
which
is
no
more
bitter
,
boile
vnto
a
thicknesse
of
honie
.
About
the
middle
of
this
boiling
,
adde
of
the
iuyce
of
Alkakengi
or
winter
cherries
purified
,
two
ounces
&
a
half
,
but
about
the
ende
,
of
Annise
seedes
,
&
of
Cinamon
of
each
one
ounce
,
of
fennel
seedes
half
an
ounce
,
of
the
flowres
of
Nymphaee
or
the
water
lillie
two
ounces
(
where
must
be
considered
,
whether
these
ought
not
to
enter
in
the
substaunce
but
rather
to
be
put
in
the
last
infusion
of
the
Ellebore
,
and
to
be
strayned
togyther
,
that
the
water
alone
maye
after
bée
boyled
vnto
a
consumption
)
in
the
ende
must
a
little
Masticke
be
added
,
or
at
least
in
the
forming
of
the
Pylles
.
This
procureth
thrée
or
foure
stooles
wythout
griefe
,
&
causeth
the
belly
to
remaine
sufficient
solluble
many
dayes
after
.
A
certaine
person
requyred
a
great
value
to
be
giuen
him
,
for
a
dose
of
these
.
Another
maner
of
preparing
the
Antimonie
,
that
a
certayne
practisioner
,
which
prepared
the
same
for
his
Ladie
,
had
learned
:
&
this
by
happe
he
left
briefly
noted
in
wryting
:
he
bought
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
of
Stimmeos
fowre
ounces
and
a
halfe
,
that
is
,
one
quarter
of
a
pounde
&
better
of
our
wayght
,
the
same
brought
to
powder
&
searsed
:
he
melted
●n
a
whyte
earthen
pot
(
the
mouth
of
it
couered
with
a
great
burning
coale
,
so
layd
vpon
,
that
the
same
could
not
fall
of
)
vpon
the
coales
into
the
fyre
:
and
when
this
was
through
cold
,
he
dilygently
considered
whether
any
other
myxture
of
matter
consisted
in
it
,
that
approached
to
Tynne
,
or
rather
somwhat
like
Tinne
(
being
altogither
of
the
same
kind
)
which
many
tymes
the
lyke
hapneth
in
the
Antimonie
seperated
,
and
is
easily
discerned
&
knowne
:
which
vnlesse
the
same
be
remooued
&
cleared
away
,
it
permysteth
not
the
Antimonie
,
or
rather
so
hyndereth
,
when
the
same
is
molten
,
that
it
can
not
be
transparent
or
seene
cleare
through
:
but
we
found
no
such
matter
in
this
Stimmi
or
Stibium
:
that
if
he
had
séene
or
knowne
before
the
lyke
,
he
would
then
not
haue
molten
it
.
But
now
this
blacke
substaunce
brought
againe
to
pouder
,
he
powred
into
a
Crucible
made
of
the
best
earth
,
new
,
and
neuer
wetted
,
and
set
on
a
meane
fyre
to
calcyne
,
vnto
the
performance
of
which
matter
,
he
vsed
almost
a
day
&
a
halfe
,
and
sturred
the
same
al
the
whyles
with
a
large
spattle
of
yron
,
styll
and
continually
about
(
but
some
,
as
I
remember
,
do
calcyne
the
same
in
an
earthen
skellet
or
pan
)
but
he
rather
supposed
the
colour
to
come
the
darcker
through
the
yron
vessell
(
and
the
whyles
dyd
a
most
wicked
sauour
of
Brimstone
continually
breath

)
through
which
(
he
reported
)
the
whyles
he
was
thus
bus●ed
,
the
same
did
often
molest
&
grieue
his
head
,
in
such
maner
as
if
a
fyt
of
sicknesse
should
incontinent
folow
.
Now
this
is
perceyued
and
knowne
to
be
sufficiently
calcyned
,
when
it
no
more
sendeth
forth
the
sauour
of
Brimstome
,
and
that
the
same
appeareth
of
an
ashie
colour
,
nor
can
after
in
the
calcyning
be
burned
.
The
pot
in
the
ende
sheweth
burned
,
and
although
it
be
cract
and
hath
a
cleft
in
it
(
as
the
lyke
he
reporteth
,
his
pot
had
)
yet
may
the
same
last
and
serue
vnto
the
ende
of
the
worke
,
vnlesse
the
cleft
shall
waxe
and
be
greater
.
After
these
,
let
it
be
taken
forth
,
and
brought
agayne
to
fine
powder
in
a
morter
,
&
powred
in
a
Crucible
for
an
howre
space
almost
,
and
fyre
made
to
it
for
halfe
an
howres
tyme
,
this
fyre
after
dyminishe
by
lytle

:
that
if
there
yet
consisteth
or
remaineth
any
strange
matter
behynd
,
the
same
may
eyther
be
taken
away
,
or
purged
in
the
flying
away
.
The
Crucible
must
be
couered
with
another
pot
,
that
it
may
the
soner
be
molten
.
When
this
shall
be
through
colde
,
adde
to
it
one
dram
of
Chrysocolla
,
which
brought
to
powder
,
shal
be
mixed
in
a
morter
,
and
the
whole
powred
into
a
crucible
,
that
it
may
be
molten
,
then
occupy
a
long
yron
spattle
,
or
rodde
,
in
that
a
certayne
peryll
inseweth
by
touching
the

,
howsoeuer

if
we
may
beleeue
him
.
An
the
melting
or

,
which
is
hardly
done
at
the
first
(
in
that
for
an
howre
or
more
standing
in
the
fire
,
with
great
coales
layd
round
about
,
&
blowne
after
with
a
byggs
payre
of
bellowes
,
the
Crucible
,
all
the
whyles
appearing
redde
hote
,
the
substaunce
scarcely
melted
in
that
space
(
yet
after
the

was
molten
,
he
powred
it
on
a
marble
or
smoth
stone
,
according
to
length
,
or
rather
in
thicke
and
round
plates
.
The
colour
of
the
stone
,
in
the
first
melting
,
is
whytish
.
The
second
melting
,
and
al
the
others
,
succéede
&
come
much
soner
.
After
the
first
melting
,
it
begynneth
next
to
appeare
and
shew
of
a
darck
yellow
colour
:
which
lytle
or
nothing
altereth
,
but
abydeth
in
the
same
colour
in
a
maner
,
after
the
sixt
tyme
molten
.
When
the
matter
powred
forth
,
is
through
cold
,
it
must
agayne
be
brought
to
fyne
powder
in
a
morter
,
and
molten
.
Another
maner
of
preparing
the
Stibium
,
take
what
quantity
you
wyll
,
the
same
bring
to
powder
:
but
first
wash
it
well
in
cold
cunduite
water
,
vntyl
in
the

washing
this
appeareth
pure
,
after
wash
this
againe
in
the
water
of
Roses
,
&
the
blessed
thistle
,
which
let
the
substance
drincke
in
.
This
powder
then
set
in
the
Sunne
,
vntyll
it
cleaueth
togither
in
gobbettes
or

:
which
agayne
bringing

,
powre
into
a
Crucible

The

melt

with
a
soft
fyre
:
which
as
sone
as
a
yellow
vapour
,
and
in
the
colour
of
Arsenicke

begynneth
to
breath
forth
,
and
that
purple

or
fomes
swell
or
rise
vp
to
the

increase
the
fyre

adding
a
certayne
quantity
of

answering

the

of
salt

,
of
the
vrine
of
a

,
dyssolued
togither
with
that

Hydrargyrum
,
and
spitle
of
the
same
man
,
so
nygh
as
you
can
,
that
these
may
so
be
fyxed
:
which
thus
ordred
,
and
mixed
in
equal
portions
agréeable
,
sturre
about
with
an
yron
,
or
steele
rodde
,
vntyll
all
the

be
breathed
forth
.
The
clāmynesse

you
shall
thus
correct

in

but
stycketh
,
or
cleaueth
to

lyke

,
shall
you
cause
to
melt

By
the
syde
of
the
Crucible
,
you
shal
set
a
marble
stone
,
and
in
the
sturring
softly

powre
the
liquide
matter
forth
with
a
brode
spattle
on

when
the

requyreth

For
the

mixe
not
with
the

(
in
that
the
myddle

be
iudged

)
for
which
cause
,
you
must
dyligently
seperate
them
,
in
powring

vntyll
the

be
emptied
.
But
after
what
maner
&
how
this
may
be
learned

known
these
wyl
sufficiently
instruct
&
shew
,
both
in

Syluer

But
in
the
sturring
about

,
least

wicked
and
venemous
fume
,
&
that
drye
spirite
entereth
into

,
a

must
carefully
beware
,
for
that
the

is
in
a
maner
deadlye
:
so
that
many
there
be
,
which
drawe

Now
so

and
of

At

And
when

in

How
the
redde
spirites
,
is
drawne
or
gotten
out
of
Antimonie
,
is
the
most
rare
secrete
,
of
a
certaine
notable
Chyrurgian
.
Take
of
pure
Antimonie
two
or
thrée
pounds
,
this
dryed
&
brought
into
fine
powder
,
put
into
an
earthen
Cucurbite
,
vnder
which
make
a
soft
fire
in
the
beginning
,
for
twenty
howers
space
,
after
increase
your
fire
somewhat
hoter
,
the
next
stronger
&
stronger

vnto

howers
.
In
the
belly
of
the
earthen
Receauer
or
Cucurbite
,
on
the
syde
a
high
,
fasten
in
a
woodden
pynne
,
which
now
and
then
drawne
out
of
the
hole
,
doth
vtter
and
expresse
the
colour
of
the
spirite
breathing
further
and
cleauing
too
,
as
fyrst
whyte
,
next
yellowishe
and
yellowe
,
and
last
manifestly
redde
.
This
sublymation
being
thus
perfourmed
,
and
the
vesselles
through
colde
(
the
powder
sublymed
by
force
of
the
fyre
)
let
it
be
purged
from
the
Receauer
eyther
with
a
feather
,
or
soft
Pares
foote
,
and
put
into
a
Retorte
,
which
set
into
Balneo

,
where
let
a
seconde
exhaltacion
be
wrought
,
which
also
receyue
and
gather
in
a
glasse
or
earthen
receauer
.
For
in
the
same
maner
shall
you
purchase
a
powder
wholie
sanguine
in
color
.
And
the
receauers
into
which
the
spirites
or
fume
of
the
Antimonie
breatheth
,
ought
alwayes
o
be
cooled
,
with
Lynnen
cloathes
wet
in
cold
water
&
applyed
vpon
.
For
the
Receauers
cooled
often
,
doe
by
that
meanes
,
draw
to
them
so
much
the
sooner
,
the
fume
of
the
Antimony
.
Then
the
bellyes
of
the
receauers
ought
to
be
set
vpwardes
,
and
the
mouthes
into
which
the
Cucurbites
are
fixed
,
placed
downewardes
,
as
the
figure
hereafter
playner
demonstrateth
.
The
Cucurbyte
into
which
the
sublymed
Antimonie
must
be
put
,
ought
to
be
fensed
with
the
lute
of
wysedome
.
But
the
Cucurbytes
receauing
,
ought
to
be
fourmed
through
the
lute
,
to
indure
the
fyre
.
Let
theyr
neckes
be
long
,
in
a
maner
of
an

length
:
and
the
belly
by
that
reason
large
,

stuffed

filled
with

But
let
the

I
finde
that
this
glasse
,
not
to
be
the
same
of
the
old
Philosophers
,
of
which
they
write
so
many
matters
,
although
of
the
like
it
may
be
made
,
in
that
it
is
more
earthly
&
of
the
grosser
partes
,
for
which
cause
,
although
we
trie
and
finde
out
sundry
properties
of
it
or
that
this
hath
,
yet
doth
it
but
little
possesse
of
the
selfe
same
vertues
,
which
the
auncient
ascribe
to
their
proper
glasse
.
And
this
is
named
the
glasse
of
the
Philosophers
,
although
(
in
very
déede
)
it
be
no
glasse
but
rather
a
certaine
naturall
Sugar
,
and
that
swéete
,
&
cleare
or
to
be
séene
through
like
Christall
,
and
colde
,
as
the
yse
,
coniealed
.
The
preparation
of
this
Antimonie
,
is
not
the
selfe
same
,
or
a
like
framed
with
all
persons
,
by
which
reason
it
doth
not
cause
nor
worke
a
like
effect
.
That
if
we
could
attaine
,
and
purchase
a
trewe
and
sure
preparation
of
this
Antimonie
,
it
were
a
singuler
treasure
wonne
.
Of
the
vse
of
the
Antimonie
,
as
he
hath
experienced
,
for
on
such
wise
Gesnerus
writeth
The
Antimonie
prepared
(
as
Matthiolus
instructeth
)
I
gaue
in
the
yéere
1563.
and
in
the
.xxij.
day
of
Ianuary
,
to
a
Melancholy
person
,
sore
vexed
,
which
had
often
assayd
to
destroy
himselfe
,
&
a
fleshie
young
man
,
fiue
graynes
almost
in
pouder
,
mixed
with
a
litle
conserue
of
Roses
&
wine
,
framed
in
a
bale
or
dose
(
that
lay
before
on
bed
for
thrée
or
foure
dayes
,
without
eating
in
a
manner
any
meate
,
&
could
scarcely
lift
vp
his
head
,
but
with
a
certaine
turning
about
,
&
imagined
that
he
sawe
deuills
,
through
which
he
came
sorowfull
&
fearefull
,
&
with
sighes
calling
on
God
)
within
an
howre
after
,
that
a
fat
brothe
was
giuen
him
,
he
strongly
vomited
&
within
a
whiles
after
,
he
made
sundry
sieges
or
stooles
togither
,
yet
felt
he
after
a
mighty
●ormenting
&
vexing
about
the
heart
&
belly
,
with
a
grieuous
headach
sore
molesting
,
that
he
neuer
indured
the
like
in
al
his
life
time
,
as
he
reported
,
(
yet
increased
neuerthelesse
the
sicknesse
,
Melancholy
lur●king
in
him
,
&
he
became
after
marueilous
thirstie
&
drye
,
to
the
qualifying
of
which
,
he
had
drunke
ouer
much
water
with
wine
)
he
refrained
besides
supper
,
&
slept
nothing
,
but
lay
groning
and
sighing
al
the
night
,
&
vomited
againe
the
morrow
following
,
to
the
staying
of
which
I
gaue
him
Rob
de
Ribes
with
the
syrupe
of
Quinces
,
&
the
syrupe
of
Roses
,
with
wyne
and
water
warmed
togyther
,
and
cordiall
matters
I
applyed
on
the
breast
.
The
next
day
following
was
giuen
to
him
brothe
,
whether
he
would
or
no
,
after
which
he
slept
almost
an
howre
,
and
he
began
then
to
waxe
better
.
Neuerthelesse
I
applyed
to
the
foreheade
,
a
linnen
clothe
wet
in
the
water
of
Roses
,
Lettuce
,
the
oyle
of
Roses
,
&
vineger
,
which
I
commanded
a
good
whyles
before
to
be
done
,
but
they
had
neglected
it
.
And
I
minded
to
haue
ministred
to
him
of
the
oyle
of
vitriol
,
if
he
had
not
amended
or
recouered
somwhat
,
&
perhaps
the
conserue
or
syrupe
of
Nymphea
,
I
had
giuen
.
The
same
night
,
I
willed
to
be
giuen
him
a
litle
quantitie
of
new
Triacle
after
myd
night
,
if
the
vomiting
ceassed
not
,
or
that
he
slept
not
,
but
they
gaue
him
to
litle
a
quantitie
of
it
.
Here
note
,
that
I
onely
licking
my
fingers
,
whiles
I
mixed
the
medicine
,
within
two
howres
after
,
felt
an
aking
;
&
swimming
or
giddinesse
of
the
head
,
&
cast
much
water
&
spittell
of
my
stomack
,
with
a
litle
gryping
&
paine
in
the
bottome
of
my
belly
,
especially
of
the
right
syde
,
and
prouoking
my selfe
to
vomite
,
I
dranck
after
of
the
syrupe
of
wormewood
warmed
,
&
amended
.
The
same
Antimonie
was
cleare
,
&
of
a
yelow
colour
,
&
to
be
séene
through
as
a
precious
stone
,
or
Glasse
,
&
lightly
broken
betweene
the
teeth
.
In
the
Hospitall
of
Tygurie
in
Germanie
,
to
a
certaine
other
person
madde
,
Gesnerus
gaue
of
the
Stibium
prepared
,
and
cleare
as
glasse
,
&
nothing
of
the
fumyng
matter
in
it
,
sixe
graines
in
fine
pouder
,
&
when
he
was
about
to
vomite
,
he
(
vpon
the
eating
of
breade
)
sent
the
matter
down
ward
so
that
he
felt
but
a
little
paine
in
the
belly
,
yet
this
after
wrought
and
caused
,
fowre
sieges
or
stooles
.
But
the
nexte
day
after
he
sayde
and
complayned
,
that
hys
heade
marueylously
grieued
hym
.
Gesnerus
also
gaue
to
a
dropsye
person
,
sixe
graynes
of
the
Stibium
prepared
,
darcke
and
fumyng
a
lyttle
,
which
after
was
grieuously
vexed
about
the
hearte
,
the
payne
contynewing
vnto
the
nexte
morrowe
,
and
he
purged
vpward
,
and
downeward
,
but
little
in
quantitie
.
A
certaine
notable
,
&
singuler
preparer
of
the
Antimonie
wrote
vnto
Gesnerus
,
that
he
had
giue
,
more
them
to
foure
hundreth
persons
of
euery
kind
and
age
,
this
his
Antimonie
,
not
only
without
any
harme
,
but
with
prosperous
successe
.
He
gaue
of
this
to
fiue
taken
with
the
pestilent
Ague
,
who
after
recouered
to
health
.
He
also
affyrmeth
it
to
be
a
present
remedy
▪
in
the
Plague
,
but
who
that
mindeth
to
receiue
of
the
Antimonie
,
may
neither
before
,
nor
after
the
taking
of
it
,
blede
by
vaine
.
Of
this
his
Antimonie
he
sent
certaine
partes
,
being
of
thrée
sundry
colours
,
differing
one
from
the
other
,
of
which
the
same
,
that
was
of
a
red
colour
,
be
preferred
before
the
others
,
in
that
the
same
tarried
a
longer
time
in
the
fire
,
that
it
might
attaine
the
colour
,
and
so
the
vertue
breathed
forth
.
But
for
that
it
is
a
deeper
red
to
fire
,
for
that
cause
must
a
greater
dose
or
quantitie
be
ministred
.
The
same
person
gaue
of
the
red
Antimonie
,
to
a
certaine
man
strong
of
body
,
fiue
graines
,
but
to
such
which
were
meane
of
strength
,
and
to
women
,
he
ministred
only
fowre
graines
.
And
to
the
persons
weake
of
body
,
only
thrée
graines
.
But
if
any
shal
be
of
a
mightie
strong
complexion
,
them
to
him
may
sixe
graines
be
safely
applyed
,
but
he
thinketh
not
good
to
minister
aboue
this
dose
,
where
necessitie
requireth
,
it
may
be
ministred
at
any
time
of
the
day
,
yea
at
midnight
if
neede
shal
be
,
so
that
it
be
receaued
fiue
or
sixe
howres
after
meate
,
&
before
or
rather
after
the
taking
,
to
fast
two
or
thrée
howres
.
But
where
necessitie
doth
not
so
vrge
or
require
,
the
aptest
time
in
giuing
of
it
,
shal
be
in
the
morning
,
an
howre
before
the
sunne
rising
.
I
minister
(
saith
he
)
this
Antimonie
against
al
Agues
,
the
dropsie
,
the
Iaundise
,
the
bloody
scouring
,
the
Melancholy
of
women
,
rewmes
the
paines
of
the
head
,
the
french
disease
singularly
,
a
costiue
belly
,
the
flewme
&
fulnesse
of
the
breast
&
stomacke
,
a
stincking
breath
procéeding
of
the
corruption
of
the
stomacke
,
poysons
,
fransynesse
&
many
other
diseases
,
these
hetherto
be
his
.
Against
the
falling
sicknesse
,
take
of
the
pouder
of
Antimonie
,
of
Dragons
blood
,
of
Castorie
,
of
each
two
drams
,
these
brought
to
pouder
and
mixed
,
minister
after
Arte
,
this
also
put
vnder
the
tongue
of
a
chylde
,
if
néede
requireth
.
Gesnerus
also
hath
thus
noted
,
by
the
iudgement
and
opinion
of
others
,
of
the
maner
of
vsing
of
the
same
.
The
dose
of
Stimmeos
or
Stibium
to
be
prepared
&
giuen
to
the
strong
persons
,
must
be
in
waight
either
fiue
or
sixe
graines
,
but
to
persons
weake
of
strenght
,
only
thrée
or
foure
graines
,
mixed
with
Sugar
Roset
,
or
Violets
.
To
children
being
foure
,
fiue
,
or
sixe
yéeres
olde
,
giue
but
one
graine
waight
&
a
halfe
,
in
the
Rob
or
syrupe
of
Walwooort
or
elder
flowers
.
To
slender
old
women
,
one
graine
,
with
milke
.
For
this
worketh
within
an
howre
,
or
halfe
an
howre
,
after
the
taking
.
This
also
may
be
ministred
(
as
some
report
)
to
women
with
Chyld
,
without
peryll
or
harme
(
which
I
marueylously
doubt
.
)
They
which
mynd
to
receiue
the
Antimonie
prepared
,
let
them
take
it
with
a
fasting
stomack
,
not
eating
any
meat
after
,
for
seuen
or
eyght
howers
:
but
within
a
whyles
after
the
taking
,
let
the
person
drincke
a
lytle
quantity
warme
,
of
the
broth
of
C●cerum
.
And
kéepe
within
the
house
,
for
two
dayes
space
,
&
moderately
drinck
that
tyme
.
Some
vse
of
the
Stibium
being
onely
most
finely
brought
to
powder
and
calcyned
,
with
ashes
or
Lyme
in
the
same
maner
,
but
it
rather
seemeth
safer
,
that
it
be
sundry
tymes
molten
afore
.
This
helpeth
sicknesses
,
and
first
the
pestilence
,
and
those
also
which
be
infected
with
it
,
soone
after
the
same
is
ministred
:
it
is
giuen
besydes
to
purge
,
for
the
preseruatiun
of
health
.
It
is
also
a
singular
medicine
,
against
poisons
drunck
.
It
secondarily
helpeth
them
,
which
be
continually
vexed
with
headach
.
It
thirdly
staieth
rewms
,
falling
to
the
Lungs
.
It
fowrthly
,
helpeth
the
grieffes
,
&
paines
of
the
stomacke
,
&
weakenesse
of
the
same
.
It
doth
fiftly
remedy
,
the
dropsie
.
This
sixtly
,
helpeth
the
hard
fetching
of

,
and
ha●dnesse
to

.
This
seuenthly
,
doth
cure
,
the
particular
palsie
.
And
eyghtly

this
helpeth
the
falling

.
Nynthly

this

The

Melancholy

The

,
whose
bodies
doe
inclyne
to
a
kynd
of
Leprie
,
&
be
affected
with
a
fowle
scabbe
.
Many
prepare
and
make
pylles
of
Stibium
,
after
this
maner
.
Take
of
Aloes
halfe
an

,
of
Cynamon
halfe

of
Cloues
halfe

make
a

Take
of
this
masse
,
vnto
the
quantitie
of
thrée
Tares
,
to
which
myxe
thrée
graynes
of
the
Stibium
prepared

and
with
Rosewater

Take

After
the

taking
of
Antimonie
,
vnto
the
comforting
of
the
stomacke
,
certayne
are
woont
to
gyue
,
these
medicines
folowing
.
Take
of
the
pleasant
spiced
wine
,
named
Hypacras
,
two
parts
,
of
the
Inlep
folowing
,
one
part
:
in
these
mixed
togither
,
dyp
a
toast
of
white
bread
,
on

after
straw
of
the
powder
of
the
electuary
of
the
three
Sanders
,
&
so
much
of
the
pouders
of
the
mynt
&
worm
wood
.
The
Inlep
,
is
on
this
wise
:
take
three
parts
of
the
Aqua
vitae
drawn
through
a
parchment
skyn
wet
with
the
oyle
of
Annise
séedes
,
or

distylled
by
the
vapour
only
of
Balneo
Mariae
,
&
of
Rosewater
two
parts
.
In
the
Aqua

let
a

The
French
men
are
woont
to
giue
some
Cawdell
,
or
broath
,
after
the
taking
of
the
Antimony
,
when
the
person
féeleth
him selfe
prouoked
to
vomyt
,
that
he
may
the
easilyer
vomyt
.
This
gathered
out
of
the
letters
,
of
a
certayne
notable
phisition
,
vnto
the
singular
Gesnerus
.
A
certaine
Empericke
affyrmeth
,
that
it
may
at
all
tymes
or
alwayes
be
safely
giuen
to
the
sick
of
the
quartaine
:
&
he
also
vttreth
certayne
proper
experiments
of
the
same
.
For
he
gaue
of
the
same
,
to
a
certayne
dropsie
person
,
&
had
good
successe
.
Yet
he
affyrmeth
,
that
this
pacient
at
the
first
,
was
in
great
danger
.
Of
whom
when
we
requyred
to
know
the
cause
of
this
,
he
answered
,
that
he
could
not
purchase
the
Antimony
,
sufficiently
prepared
.
To
conclude
,
a
certayne
practisioner
affyrmeth
,
that
the
Antimonie
is
and
may
safely
be
taken
:
for
this
kynd
of
medicine
(
as
he
alledgeth
)
hath
the
same
property
of
nature
,
that
it
rayseth
or
sendeth
away
no
benigne
and
profitable
humour
in
the
body
,
but
expelleth
only
the
noyouse
:
&
the
same
eyther
by
sweate
,
which
where
it
appeareth
,
occasion
is
then
mooued
,
eyther
by
vomyt
,
or
by
stoole
.
Certayne
do
marueylously
extol
the
vse
of
Antimony
,
&
suppose
it
to
passe
or
excel
al
other
remedies
,
in
them
which
be
infected
with
the
pestilence
:
but
I
(
sayth
a
most
singular
man
)
in
his
letters
vnto
the
learned
Gesnerus
,
which
haue
the
Antimony
as
well
prepared
,
as
they
haue
,
know
much
harme
done
to
many
in
the
giuing
of
it
.
For
in
the
taking
of
it
,
it
greuously
afflicteth
or
tormenteth
the
hart
,
which
is
especially
caused
&
wrought
in
pestilent
Agues
,
this
is
certaine

Of
the
vse
of
Antimony
,
a
certayne
other
learned
man
thus
writeth
vnto
D.
Gesnerus
:
it
answereth
in
all
,
as
gold
to
lyfe
,
both
in
the
preparation
&
vse
.
The
Antimony
in
the
vse
,
but
not
in
the
preparation
,
that
it
expresseth
or
resembleth
not
the
Iacint
,
it
manifesseth
.
I
nowe
haue
first
prepared
it
,
and
in
the
preparation
of
the
same
,
certayne
,
haue
tryed
it
,
as
a
perfite
matter
.
So
that
in
theyr
report
of
practise
,
and
proper
preparation
trusting
,
gaue
thrée
graynes
of
it
to
a
certayne
person
,
who
within
two
howers
and
a
halfe
after
,
vomyted
sixe
tymes
,
and
went
thrée
tymes
to
the
stoole
,
procuring
nor
leauing
after
it
any
harme
.
Of
the
Antimony
prepared
,
&
his
vse
,
another
certayne
learned
thus
wryteth
vnto
D.
Gesnerus
.
I
here
send
to
you
but
a
smal
péece
of
Stibium
prepared
,
as
the
learned
Matthiolus
vpon
Dioscorides
instructeth
,
of
which
he
vttereth
a
number
of
notable
vertues
,
that
if
those
were
certayne
&
true
,
who
I
beséeche
you
were
happyer
than
I
:
which
may
by
this
medicine
rydde
or
deliuer
my self
,
from
that
my
continual
,
&
cruel
sicknesse
,
as
he
reporteth
there
a
story
of
a
certayne
person
incombred
with
much
windinesse
of
body
,
like
cured
.
But
I
haue
vsed
the
powder
of
this
(
vnto
this
day
)
&
gyuen
it
more
then
to
twenty
persons
,
hauing
sundry
diseases
:
in
all
which
,
this
first
procured
vomyting
,
and
after
sundry
great
sieges
or
stooles
,
&
those
without
griefe
in
the
body
after
remayning
,
as
Matthiolus
in
the
same
place
affyrmeth
.
And
although
certayne
,
of
them
became
after
better
,
yet
were
none
wholy
cleared
of
theyr
sicknesse
.
For
which
cause
,
whether
the
same
perhaps
may
often
be
ministred
,
I
now
doubt
.
But
our
noble
persons
much
alow
&
commend
it
,
seing
it
taken
in
so
smal
a
quantity
,
doth
so
singularly
&
throughly
purge
corrupt
humours
.
I
am
woont
(
sayth
he
)
to
myxe
this
poyson
,
with
most
pleasant
conserues
,
and
iuyces
:
in
such
maner
,
that
without
any
procurement
to
vomyt
,
they
may
the
wyllinger
and
lightlyer
swallow
downe
the
same
.
I
my selfe
(
sayth
he
)
haue
synce
vsed
or
taken
of
it
,
to
the
quantity
of
two
graynes
,
where
I
otherwise
gaue
thrée
graynes
,
and
for
truth
,
without
any
griefe
in
a
maner
:
and
I
fyrst
vomyted
aboue
half
a
pynt
of
greene
choller
,
with
most
tough
flewme
:
after
I
made
nyne
sufficient
stooles
,
but
the
sicknesse
nothing
abated
of
these
,
but
I
rather
after
a
few
daies
became
worser
(
so
that
I
customably
affected
with
the
Melancholy
disease
in
my
flank
)
was
constrained
,
to
cease
from
taking
any
purging
medicine
,
whether
they
shal
be
vehementer
or
gentler
,
&c.
That
if
any
be
apter
or
easier
to
vomit
vpward
,
&
harder
to
purge
downward
,
or
at
the
least
indifferent
,
to
this
person
may
you
safely
minister
two
or
thrée
grayns
waight
of
this
Stibium
.
But
to
them
which
hardly
&
painfully
vomit
,
&
haue
a
loose
belly
,
or
be
of
a
slender
&
weake
nature
,
this
ministred
,
is
not
without
peryll
.
The
same
which
hytherto
I
haue
studiously
obserued
:
haue
I
in
my
letters
,
faythfull
wrytten
to
you
.
Againe
another
certaine
Phisition
,
wryteth
vnto
D.
Gesnerus
,
of
the
vse
of
Antimony
prepared
.
I
send
here
to
you
Antimony
,
as
you
requyred
the
same
of
mée
,
prepared
by
the
fyre
,
&
brought
to
powder
,
&
in
that
I
would
not
purchase
now
the
whole
to
send
you
.
I
for
that
cause
send
you
two
sortes
:
the
one
which
declineth
vnto
a
blacknesse
,
is
the
self
same
,
that
here
with
vs
was
often
ministred
to
many
.
Of
the
vse
of
this
,
I
can
report
that
the
same
neuer
harmed
:
but
I
suppose
there
is
another
,
far
better
&
worthyer
.
They
which
vse
the
same
,
doe
giue
of
it
in
the
forme
of
pyls
,
making
an
incorporation
with
an
apt
syrupe
.
They
giue
these
pyls
a
lytle
before
meat
,
that
the
meate
may
so
insew
sone
after
the
taking
of
the
medicine
,
for
by
such
meanes
they
affirme
them
to
be
reteyned
,
&
the
working
of
this
to
be
then
strong
.
But
they
be
many
tymes
cast
vp
againe
,
before
theyr
proper
working
,
if
a
longer
space
or
time
be
deferred
,
betwéene
the
taking
of
the
medicine
,
and
the
meate
orderly
dressed
.
Of
the
oyle
of
Brymstone
.
The
.xxviij.
Chapter
.
ALthough
brimstone
appéereth
dry
&
hard
in
sight
,
&
for
that
may
seeme
to
be
quite
without
moisture
,
insomuch
as
no
oylie
substance
can
be
drawne
out
of
it
:
yet
the
same
for
truth
,
is
not
so
drye
,
&
hote
,
but
that
by
the
mixtion
of
elements
,
a
certaine
moisture
,
and
the
same
fatty
,
by
which
truly
it
consisteth
in
this
forme
,
it
doth
&
may
contayne
to
it
adioyned
:
for
an
oyle
is
distylled
out
of
it
,
as
sometymes
absolutely
&
by
it selfe
,
without
the
myxing
togither
of
any
other
simples
:
but
somtimes
other
simples
,
are
mixed
also
to
it
.
Matthiolus
hath
also
a
discription
of
the
oyle
of
Brimstone
,
in
a
maner
like
to
this
,
sauing
that
there
is
a
certaine
difference
of
the
vessels
.
Let
a
large
mouthed
glasse
hauing
a
long
taile
retching
out
(
like
to
that
lampe
hanging
in
a
Church
)
be
set
into
sand
or
Ashes
in
a
bo●le
or
other
vessell
of
wood
,
that
the
same
may
stand
steddie
&
vpright
.
Then
about
the
edge
of
the
glasse
,
let
an
yron
vessell
bée
hanged
(
in
height
thrée
fingers
from
the
glasse
)
being
oyther
round
or
square
,
&
bo●●d
through
in
fowre
places
,
where
let
yron
wiars
be
thrust
downe
to
the
brim
or
edge
of
the
glasse
,
in
such
maner
,
done
that
the
vessell
in
no
maner
toucheth
the
glasse
,
but
the
wyars
onely
,
and
aboue
the
glasse
let
a
long
and
déepe
pot
be
hanged
,
that
at
the
least
,
a
foote
,
which
may
receiue
the
fume
ascending
,
that
it
may
distill
againe
by
the
neather
edges
of
that
pot
into
the
glasse
standing
vnder
.
A
man
must
in
the
meane
time
whiles
the
Brimstone
burneth
poure
on
new
pouder
by
litle
&
litle
with
a
spone
,
&
the
plate
(
whose
neather
part
draweth
vnto
the
bignesse
&
forme
of
the
ioynt
of
the
thomb
)
lay
in
burning
hot
,
&
poure
alwaies
new
brimstone
in
vntil
one
or
two
pound
be
consumed
.
That
if
the
oyle
thus
succéedeth
or
commeth
not
,
in
that
the
Brimstone
perhappes
shall
be
ouer
drye
,
the
pot
which
inward
receyued
the
fume
,
set
into
a
cold
and
moyst
place
,
and
the
oyle
within
two
dayes
wyll
so
be
gathered
.
Isabella
Cortesa
vttereth
an
apte
maner
,
of
the
making
of
the
oyle
of
Brimstone
:
take
of
cytryne
Brymstone
a
certayn
quantity
,
which
bring
into
fine
pouder
,
the
same
then
powre
into
an
earthen
pot
neyled
,
lyke
to
that
which
the
Pottecarie
putteth
his
oyntment
into
,
this
set
vpryght
,
fylling
it
in
a
maner
full
,
or
neare
to
▪
After
hang
ouer
a
Bell
of
glasse
,
lyke
to
the
forme
of
a
Lampe
,
as
you
see
here
figured
.
This
done
,
set
the
vessell
on
an
earthen
platter
glased
,
into
which
then
put
an
yron
plate
redde
hote
,
on
the
sayd
brimstone
,
and
forthwith
hang
ouer
the
sayd
Bell
:
in
such
maner
,
that
it
toucheth
not
the
mouth
of
the
vessell
standing
vnder
,
whereby
the
oyle
may
so
distyll
round
about
,
and
fall
into
the
platter
▪
For
the
sayd
brymstone
doth
then
make
a
sufficient
smoke
al
about
the
Bell
,
through
which
is
caused
,
that
the
oyle
distylleth
downe
,
&
into
the
platte●
.
If
so
be
you
hang
the
Bell
in
such
order
,
that
it
〈◊〉
couereth
the
mouth
of
the
vessell
,
and
be
the
breadth
of
a
knyfe
haft
distaunt
from
it
,
&
the
vessell
standing
in
a
large
platter
very
fayre
within
,
that
the
oyle
may
fall
into
it
,
which
ordered
on
such
wyse
,
let
so
remayne
,
vntyll
all
the
Brymstone
be
burned
in
the
vessell
.
After
shyft
the
oyle
into
a
glasse
,
which
kéepe
to
your
vse
.
The
Brimstone
(
as
a
certaine
practisioner
reporteth
)
doth
not
dystyll
by
a
glasse
,
hanged
on
hygh
,
but
cleaueth
&
sticketh
to
the
●●●es
of
the
glasse
.
For
that
cause
,
let
a
lytle
Aqua
vitae
be
powred
into
the
glasse
,
so
much
,
as
wyl
only
wet
all
the
sydes
of
the
glasse
round
about
,
in
rolling
the
Aqua
vitae
to
all
the
sydes
&
parts
of
the
glasse
round
about
.
After
let
the
whole
glasse
be
●euer●●
with
a
woodden
boole
,
a
sheete
of
paper
put
betwéene
,
that
no
ayre
breath
forth
,
and
set
into
a
colde
&
moyst
place
for
certayne
dayes
,
vntyll
all
the
matter
so
setled
in
the
bottome
,
and
distylled
by
a
glasse
Lymbecke
.
Or
if
the
whole
matter
be
cleare
,
powre
it
then
into
another
long
necked
cleare
glasse
,
and
let
it
be
seperated
,
that
the
oyles
may
so
be
seperated
.
Another
maner
out
of
Sulphure
vyue
,
which
a
certayne
Phisition
vttered
to
the
Aucthour
:
fyrst
the
brymstone
ought
to
be
a
lytle
calcyned
,
but
warely
that
it
be
not
burned
,
or
set
on
fyre
,
in
such
maner
that
it
may
almost
be
brought
into
powder
.
After
distyl
the
same
by
ascention
,
for
it
then
easily
ascendeth
.
But
he
affyrmed
,
that
hard
it
is
,
to
prepare
this
oyle
:
nor
that
he
could
well
discribe
the
maner
of
the
same
,
but
that
a
present
sight
in
the
doing
is
rerequyred
.
Vnto
D.
Gesnerus
from
a
certayne
place
,
was
a
small
piece
of
brimstone
sublimed
sent
,
out
of
which
an
oyle
was
drawn
:
which
is
the
lyke
astringent
,
as
the
oyle
of
vitryoll
,
&
is
rather
of
a
watery
substaunce
,
than
oylie
,
which
I
marueyle
at
.
This
borrowed
out
of
a
certayne
Epistle
,
vnto
Doctour
Gesnerus
.
Agayne
vnto
D.
Gesnerus
,
wrote
an
old
friend
,
and
learned
man
,
thus
of
the
oyle
of
brymstone
.
Let
the
brymstone
not
yet
tryed
on
the
fyre
,
be
kyndled
in
an
earthen
pan
,
and
on
the
pan
standing
on
a
Treuet
,
hang
a
head
,
as
some
name
it
,
or
a
Bell
(
being
of
glasse
)
and
pargeted
with
lute
:
that
it
may
receyue
the
fume
of
the
brimstone
,
which
within
it
is
thyckned
into
an
oyle
,
and
by
the
pype
or
Nose
of
the
Bell
stylleth
forth
into
a
Receauer
standing
vnder
,
which
so
gathereth
the
oyle
distylling
.
Another
way
:
certayne
doe
make
it
,
after
another
maner
:
vnto
one
part
of
the
powder
of
Brymstone
,
they
adde
another
part
of
flynt
stones
lyke
brought
to
powder
:
this
myxture
powre
into
a
Retort
,
and
set
ouer
a
very
soft
fyre
,
they
so
drawe
a
singuler
oyle
.
Which
oile
in
what
maner
diseases
it
may
be
vsed
,
and
with
what
it
may
be
gyuen
in
eache
,
and
in
what
quantitie
and
howe
,
shall
brief●y
be
here
vnder
vttered
.
This
oyle
is
vsed
in
cold
diseases
,
whose
cause
procéede
and
are
the
humours
eyther
cold
or
putryfyed
,
or
in
whome
much
wynde
consisteth
,
as
in
rotten
Agues
,
Tertians
▪
Quoti●ians
,
and
Quartaynes
:
in
the
Pestilence
,
in
wounds
,
in
vlcers
,
espetially
hollow
and
wynding
,
in
many
grieffes
of
the
brayne
,
the
mouth
,
the
teeth
,
the
stomacke
,
the
Lyuer
,
the
Mylt
,
the
Matrice
,
the
bladder
,
the
Bowelles
,
and
ioyntes
:
to
those
also
which
procéede
,
of
the
abundance
of
humour
,
or
of
putrifying
.
And
a
lytle
of
this
oyle
is
ministred
,
with
a
distilled
lycour
,
or
decoction
of
a
congruent
hearbe
,
according
to
the
qualitye
of
euery
part
and
disease
.
This
is
the
maner
of
the
measure
,
a
Hennes
quyl
must
be
dypped
into
the
oyle
,
and
quicklyer
drawne
out
agayne
,
&
what
that
hangeth
on
the
quyl
,
of
the
fatnesse
or
oyle
,
the
same
temper
in
eyther
syrupe
,
or
distylled
lycour
,
&
giue
to
drinck
to
the
sick
.
And
with
what
,
this
may
be
conioyned
in
each
disease
:
in
the
quoti●●ā
Ague
,
in
the
wine
of
the
decoction
of
Rosemary
,
or
mint
,
a
lytle
before

fyt

In
the
Tertian

decoction
of
Centorie
in
wyne
.
In

quartaine
,
with
the
water
of
Buglosse
.
In
the
Pestilence
,
with
the
wyne
of
the
decoction
of
Radishe
,
to
which
a
lytle
Triacle
&
Methridate
is
mixed
.
In
the
vlcers
&
sores
of
the
mouth
,
a
feather
or
fine
bombasie
wette
in
the
oyle
,
and
the
same
softlye
apply
on
the
vlcered
place
,
for
in
the
repeating
sundry
tymes
,
this
oyle
doth
so
throughly
heale
the
euyll
.
And
druncke
of
such
as
are
molested
with
falling
sicknesse
,
in
the
decoction
of
Byttonie
and
Pyonie
,
speedily
helpeth
.
To

of

But
in
wounds

,
the
affected

must
be
annoynted
with
the
oyle
,
and
that
gentlye
with

The

But

An
oyle
of
brimstone
,
inuented
of
a
certayne
Phisition
of
Rome
,
and
borrowed
out
of
a
written
booke
in
the
Italian
tongue
.
An
oile
of
brymstone
,
is
easily
and
soone
prepared
,
&
gotten
with
a
Bell
of
glasse
:
but
the
better
,
&
perfiter
maner
,
is
this
.
Let
the
brymstone
be
finely
brought
to
powder
,
and
so
much
of
the
Pumeyse
stone
in
fine
powder
,
which
two
myxed
togyther
&
put
into
a
Retort
,
fasten
to
it
a
sufficient
large
and
bygge
Receauer
,
and
within
two
dayes
space
,
by
a
most
soft
fire
,
〈◊〉
shall
distyll
&
gather
the
oyle
of
brymstone
:
which
of
the
Italians
is
named
oile
De
grata
or
De
regestro
.
And
the
pouder
of
that
Pumeise
is
added
,
that
the
brimstone
may
not
ascend
,
&
that
it
may
also
send
the
vapors
sooner
vpward
.
The
selfe
same
properties
in
a
maner
are
assigned
to
it
,
which
a
lytle
afore
we
recyted
,
sauing
that
in
a
few
,
we
noted
this
diuersity
.
That
it
cureth
wounds
,
by
taking
of
the
powder
of
the
leaues
of
the
Oke
,
of
Pympernel

of

&
to

a
lytle
of
this
oyle
,
or
at
least
so
much
,
as
may
be
for
the
malice
,
and
greatnesse
of
the
wound
.
And
with
this
decoction
,
let
that
fresh
wound
,
or
old

washed

and
they
are
speedily
cured

In

avayleth
the
oyle

aboue
taught
.
These
truly
,
and
al
the
others
afore
wrytten
,
which
are
to
be
applyed
here
:
are
reported
,
to
be
all

by
a
singular
phisition
of
the
Emperors
at
Bononie
,
&
of
another
notable
phision
at
Rome
.
An
Odoriferouse
or
sweete
smelling
oyle
of
brimstone
,
&
potable
or

which
healeth
&
cureth
in
a
maner
all
diseases
&
griefts
how
wicked
&
desperate
so
euer
they
bee
:
borrowed
out
of
the
Italian
booke
of
secretes
,
of
the
singuler
Fallopio
.
Let
the
Brymstone
be
grosely
brought
to
powder
,
which
put
into
an
earthen
vessell
,
ouer
which
hang
a
head
or
Bell
with
a
Nose
,
being
two
or
three
fingers
distant
from
the
vessell
,
and
to
the
Nose
set
a
Receauer
,
in
which
let
a
lyttle
of
pure
Muske
dyssolued
in
Rosewater
be
put
.
Which
done
,
kyndle
the
Brymstone
,
and
the
fume
shall
so
ascend
&
be
receyued
within
the
head
.
But
before
the
Brymstone
distylleth
wyll
a
certayne
C●ate
or
thynne
skynne
as
it
were
be
gathered
within
the
head
(
which
nothing
wyll
distyl
,
before
this
Coate
shall
be
thus
gathered
rounde
about
the
head
)
remembring
alwayes
to
adde
or
powre
in
of
the
Brimstone
,
by
lytle
and
lytle
,
as
the
other
afore
shall
be
consumed
.
This
oyle
thus
dystylled
,
is
caused
swéete
smelling
,
yet
very
sowre
in
tast
.
But
the
same
that
it
may
be
potable
or
to
be
drunck
,
and
well
delyghted
to
be
taken
by
the
mouth
,
let
a
inlyppe
be
made
of
Hony
,
in
the
same
maner
as
commonly
is
made
of
Sugar
,
into
which
instyll
so
much
of
the
oyle
of
Brymstone
now
made
,
as
shal
be
néedefull
to
the
purpose
,
and
that
the

be
not

This
drunck
prouoketh

the

and

.
And
all
these
,
the
oyle
of
brymstone
,
prepared
in
the
abouesayd
maner
,
I
haue
found
to
performe
by
a
sure

infallyble
experience
.
Another
maner
▪
but
the
same
by
distyllacion
,
vttered
by
the
same
Aucthour
▪
the
ioynts
before
dilygently
luted
and
sealed
,
&
followed
with
a
sof●
fyre
,
euer
increasing
the
fyre
by
lytle
&
lytle
in
a
mean●
maner
.
In
this
maner
is
and
oyle
distylled
,
of
singuler
vertues
.
Fyrst
the
same
expelleth
all
maner
of
inward
impostumes
of
the
body
,
vnto
the
vpper
face
of
it
:
if
of
the
same
be
taken
for
three
or
fowre
dayes
▪
euery
morning
fasting
one
dram
(
consider
that
the

quantity
,
it
be
ouer
much
for
one
tyme
)
with
broth
,
or
wyne
,
or
any
such
lycour
.
This
auayleth
in
the
harde
fetching
of
breath
,
helpeth
the
cough
,
the
rewme
,
the
euyll
dispositions
of
the
Lyuer
,
any
maner
of
scabbe
,
and
cureth
especially
the
pestilence
.
It
is
a
treasure
also
,
to
vlcers
and
wounds
.
Another
maner
:
let
some
yron
vessell
be
taken
which
may
be
sealed
with
a
Lymbecke
,
sixe
fingers
or
a
lytle
more
〈◊〉
,
and
the
same
in
the
neather
part
downeward
by
two
fyngers
,
let
it
haue
a
large
hole
of
thrée
fyngers
broade
,
by
which
let
the
Brimstone
be
powred
in
,
on
this
vessell
set
a
Limbeck
pergeted
about
with
lute
,
after
by
the
hole
a
low
let
the
Brimstone
be
kindled
,
and
burne
so
long
as
you
thinke
needefull
,
and
a
lycour
will
after
distill
&
yssew
forth
droppe
by
droppe
.
And
this
maner
although
it
be
tedious
,
yet
is
it
not
to
be
contemned
.
An
oyle
of
Brimstone
also
is
made
by
descention
vnto
the
Chymistick
workes
,
in
this
maner
.
Let
one
part
of
the
Cytrine
Brimstone
brought
to
pouder
,
and
put
into
an
earthen
vessel
,
be
molten
with
a
soft
fire
,
to
which
mixe
so
much
of
Roche Alome
melted
the
like
at
the
fire
.
After
grinde
both
togither
,
putting
the
whole
into
a
discentorie
standing
vnder
the
earth
set
into
an
apt
pitte
made
for
the
only
purpose
,
on
which
ceales

the
same
which
shall
then
be

An

is
thus
comp●wned
,
take
of
Brimstone

calcyned
two
poundes
,
which
infuse
in
vineger

after
let
the
vyneger
be
euaporated
in
a
large
vessell
hauing
a
wyde
mouth

&
the
spirit
and
oyle
of
the
Brimstone
will
then
abide
in

and
in
the
ende
let
it
be
buried
for
a
moneth
,
for
on
such
wise
shall
the
oyle
of
Brimstone
be
purifyed
.
And
it
is
of
great
vertue
,
yet

three
droppes
giuen

This
dung
also
of

Chapter

THe
Oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
which
of
some
is
named
the
Oyle
of
lyfe
,
or
Artificiall
Melancholy
,
and
that
many
affyrme
to
make
of
it
a
kynde
of
Au●●m
potabile
or
potable
Golde
,
in
that
the
myne
of
Vystrioll
,
is
a
kynde
of
the
myne
of
Golde
,
desyred
both
of
the
Physitions
and
Chymistes
.
And
it
is
also
at
this
day
much
exercysed
and
vsed
of
many
Phisitions
in
sundry
purposes
,
for
which
cause
,
as
a
most
rare
and
singuler
secrete
,
kepte
wyth
them
couered
and
vnknowen
.
And
this
is
none
other
,
than
an
Alome
qualitie
and
substaunce
,
drawne
out
of
the
Vytrioll
by
Arte
,
and
a
lyttle
myxed
with
Brymstone
.
For
the
same
Vytrioll
of
what
manner
it
is
made
,
doth
appeare
to
consiste
of
a
triple
myxture
,
as
of
much
Alome
,
some
ruste
,
and
a
lyttle
Brymstone
.
For
the
Alome
water
in
Mettalles
,
distylling
by
the
Copper
vaynes
and
Marchasite
,
attayneth
a
rus●ie
or
cankred
qualitye
,
and
a
Brimstonye
,
whych
resteth
myxed
to
the
Marchasite
,
that
by
lyttle
and
lyttle
gathereth
,
or
by
industrie
is
boyled
vnto
a
thicknesse
.
But
in
the
distylling
,
the
Alommie
and
Sulphurie
vapour
onely
doe
ascende
,
and
the
rustie
qualitie
(
by
that
meanes
)
left
behinde
in
the
bottome
of
the
Retorte
,
through
which
is
caused
,
that
this
oyle
hath
of
Alome
,
and
not
the
taste
of
Ruste
in
it
.
And
there
are
two
diuersities
of
this
oyle
,
as
a
sharpe
and
swéete
.
The
eager
or
sharpe
Oyle
consisteth
of
a
double
myxture
,
that
is
,
of
much
Alome
,
and
a
lyttle
Brymstone
.
But
the
swéete
,
doth
simply
consiste
of
Brymstone
.
In
that
it
is
none
other
,
then
a
lyquid
Brimstone
,
drawen
out
of
the
eager
Oyle
.
For
which
cause
not
the
Alome
in
taste
at
all
,
but
the
Brymstone
is
perceyued
.
And
both
is
to
be
prepared
and
made
with
great
care
and
diligence
,
in
formyng
an
apt
Furnace
,
and
applying
of
a
Retorte
,
and
receauer
agréeable

But
in
this
place
,
what
the
auncient
Philosophers
vnderstoode
by
the
name
of
the
oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
whose
discriptions
we
minde
here
to
vtter
,
whether
the

any
otherwise
,
then
that
in
the
manner
of
preparing
,
may
at

differ
,
and
not
in
the
matter
out
of
whych
,
those

Séeyng

besydes
the
other
properties
of
it
,
in
a
manner
innumerable
,
may
also
conteyne
in
it
the
vertue
of
corrodyng
(
which
matter
also
that
it
may
be
made
apparant
of
the
same
,
in
that
this
can
not
bee
wrought
and
kéepte
▪

in
the
beste
V●nice
glasse
,
that
the
cankred

an●oynted

oyle
maye
be
consumed
)
of
this
,
the
vse
of
it
at
anytime
,
cān●t
be
daungerous
.
For
that
cause
I
suppose
(
sayth
he
)
that
this
oyle
of
the
auncientes
was
prepared
in
another
manner
,
and
was
much
subtiller
▪
without
corroding
,
and
distilled
in
Balneo
Mariae
.
But
for
so
much
as
this
maner
in
vnknowen
,
therefore
the
later
practisioners
from
time
to
time
inuented
,
diuerse
and
sundry
preparations
.
Nor
am
I
ignoraunt
(
sayth
he
)
how
neere
vnto
the
perfection
of
these
,
the
preparations
agree
,
as
that
the
pure
&
hurtfull
,
may
be
seperated
from
the
vnpure
&
vnhurtful
,
the
subtill
and
penetrable
,
from
the
grosse
and
immouable
.
For
in
what
manner
soeuer
any
matter
,
may
be
made
subtiller
,
clearer
&
more
penetrating
,
of
these
,
doth
it
declare
the
greater
vertues
in
action
.
In
that
the
Feces
of
the
simple
elements
,
hinder
the
actions
.
And
for
that
cause
doe
the
auncient
Philosophers
,
make
mention
of
the
reduction
vnto
the
first
matter
,
vnto
which
when
it
shall
come
,
the
matter
attaineth
an
extreeme
subtilnesse
,
and
the
greatest
also
it
yeeldeth
in
the
practiue
worke
.
So
that
you
neede
not
to
deubt
,
but
such
an
oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
which
shal
attaine
the
extreeme
subtilnesse
in
preparation
,
may
in
his
actions
to
come
,
be
not
onely
most
perfite
,
but
also
nothing
at
all
hurtfull
,
by
which
reason
,
if
the
practysioners
in
the
preparations
,
shal
be
eyther
negligenter
or
slacker
,
through
this
may
it
be
caused
the
more
venimous
,
to
the
taking
within
the
body
.
For
how
much
the
lesser
the
practysioner
may
erre
or
doth
erre
in
the
preparation
,
and
distillation
of
the
same
,
or
howe
the
oyle
may
be
made
perfitter
,
these
three
hereafter
are
diligently
to
be
considered
before
all
others
.
First
,
what
maner
of
Vitrioll
must
or
ought
to
be
chosen
,
then
how
the
same
may
be
boyled
,
and
what
manner
of
calcination
vsed
.
For
it
séemeth
,
that
the
same
rule
or
order
,
which
was
afore
vttred
and
taught
in
the
preparation
of
Antimonie
,
may
like
be
applied
in
the
oyle
of
vitrioll
.
And
the
Antimonie
(
as
they
say
)
except
it
be
diligently
chosen
,
and
very
well
calcyned
after
art
,
they
in
no
wyse
graunt
,
that
the
same
rightly
and
without
daunger
may
be
ministred
,
for
which
cause
they
will
it
carefully
to
be
prepared
,
that
the
venimous
qualitie
may
so
be
auoyded
.

SEing
there
be
many
kindes
of
Vitrioll
,
for
this
reason
,
must
it
fully
and
perfitely
be
vttered
,
what
maner
and
kinde
of
Vitriol
,
best
answereth
&
agréeth
to
this
worke
.
And
although
out
of
euery
maner
and
kind
of
Vitrioll
,
an
oyle
by
distillation
may
be
drawen
,
yet
a
more
yéelde
of
oyle
,
and
the
same
worthier
or
more
excellent
then
the
others
,
is
distilled
out
of
the
blew
or
gréene
Vitriol
,
in
that
this
contayneth
much
of
the
fugitiue
Brimstone
,
through
which
it
is
much
holpen
,
that
the
oyle
may
the
easier
&
lightlyer
ascende
.
It
is
also
to
be
noted
,
that
the
growen
Vitrioll
,
and
especially
the
Hungarian
,
to
be
better
and
rather
chosen
,
then
the
made
or
counterfaited
.
The
same
besides
is
rather
to
be
chosen
,
which
cleaueth
in
great
clusters
,
&
is
coniealed
in
greater
lumpes
.
For
that
the
small
broken
Vitrioll
,
and
in
a
maner
to
pouder
,
must
be
reiected
as
vnprofitable
in
this
case
,

as
that
also
,
which
gathered
through
the
iniurie
of
the
sunne
,
or
aire
,

,
&

But
the
learned
Fallopio
,
and
singuler
practisioner
Leonard
Fiorauant
,
doe
rather
commend
and
preferre
the
Romaine
,
then

that
it
casteth

you
may
then
conceyue
that

Then
powre

that
the

may
bée
placed

stoupe
downe
warde

also
through
which
the
necke
passeth

diligently
stoppe

After
take
fyue
Tyles

with
which
make
a

the

that

this
is

is
the
doing

For

vntil

If
so
be
the
Vitrioll
shal
not

calcyned
then
a

quantitie
of

yssew

For

sée
that

:
when
you
haue
done
this
,
suffer

thr●w
away
,
but
that
which
in

An
oyle
of
vitryoll
,
learned
of
that
singular
Georgius
Haymberserus
:
take
of
common
vitryoll
so
much
as
you
wyll
,
out
of
which
distyll
a
water
by
a
Lymbecke
,
as
you
know
:
after
take
the
Feces
,
or
earth
of
the
vitryoll
out
of
the
glasse
,
&
calcyne
the
same
so
much
as
is
possible
:
then
powre
the
water
,
which
you
distylled
from
it
before
,
vpon
the
earth
of
the
vitryoll
calcyned
,
which
after
set
into
a
drye
wine
Seller
,
and
you
shall
attayne
the
true
oyle
of
vitryoll
.
But
the
earth
of
the
vitriol
calcined
,
ought
afore
to
be
wel
brought
to
powder
,
&
the
water
then
powred
vpon
it
.
With
this
oyle
,
and
vermylon
,
make
as
you
knowe
,
vnto
the
coniealing
of
Mercurie
.
This
first
borrowed
out
of
an
olde
Alchymy
booke
written
.
Another
maner
:
that
you
may
make
the
oyle
of
vitryoll
,
take
of
Romayne
vitryoll
finely
brought
to
powder
,
twentye
poundes
,
which
dissolue
by
lytle
and
litle
on
coales
in
a
pot
or
panne
not
glased
,
and
after
the
vitryoll
shall
be
molten
,
suffer
it
after
so
long
to
boyle
,
vntyll
it
be
well
dryed
.
Which
done
,
let
it
be
diligently
brought
to
powder
,
and
powred
into
an
other
vessel
not
glased
,
but
well
and
close
couered
,
that
no
fylth
nor
dust
fall
into
it
.
After
this
a
cleare
and
vehement
fyre
of
coales
made
,
aboue
&
beneath
it
,
that
the
vitryoll
may
become
so
redde
as
Vermylon
:
of
this
vitryoll
brought
and
made
so
redde
,
take
twelue
poundes
,
which
powre
into
a
Retorte
verye
well
luted
:
with
his
Receauer
,
lyke
luted
in
the
ioynt
:
and
the
fyrst
day
begynne
with
a
soft
fyre
,
but
the
seconde
daye
with
a
stronger
fyre
of
coales
onely
,
and
the
thyrde
day
,
with
a
most
strong
fyre
made
of
wood
,
shall
you
distyl
the
oyle
of
vitryol
.
It
is
here
to
be
noted
,
that
you
must
powre
in
a
lytle
Aqua
vitae
into
the
Receauer
,
that
the
spyrites
of
the
vitryoll
may
be
retayned
in
it
.
And
after
the
distyllacion
ended
,
the
same
ought
to
be
euaporated
forth
,
the
Receauer
being
set
on
coales
,
for
on
such
wyse
is
the
styncking
vapour
eleuated
,
and
when
no
more
vapour
shall
appeare
,
or
greeuously
stincketh
,
then
shall
the
oyle
be
left
and
remayne
pure

the

good
,
that
he
purchased
of
a
certaine
friend
,
which
affyrmed

that
he
knew
a
Chyrurgian
,
which
with
this
only
got
his
lyuing
:
translated
out
of
a
wrytten
Copy
,
in
the
Germayne
tongue
.
There
be
some
(
sayth
he
)
which
by
force
of
the
fyre
draw
an
oyle
of
vitryol
,
out
of
ten
or
twelue
pounds
of
the
Romaine
or
Vngarian
vitryoll
,
in
a
body
well
fensed
with
lute
,
or
earthen
pot
vnglased
,
which
they
say
to
one
syde
stouping
,
in
that
Furnace
:
with
the
receauer
annexed
to
it
,
&
dyligently
luted
in
the
ioynt
.
Others
when
they
haue
distylled
it
by
ascention
,
doe
seperate
the
flewme
from
the
oyle
,
and
powre
agayne
the
same
flewme
on
the
dead
head
,
and
distyll
it
in
the
like
maner
aboue
vttered
,
&
the
same
they
so
often
repeate
,
vntyl
the
vitryol
shal
be
wholy
brought
&
made
vnprofitable
,
&
that
no
oyle
at
all
remaineth
or
is
contayned
in
it
.
And
although
the
oiles
drawne
by
these
meanes
,
be
profitable
vnto
many
&
sundry
diseases
:
yet
I
(
sayth
he
)
that
the
oyle
may
be
applyed
within
the
body
,
or
vsed
in
any
other
maner
,
doe
,
in
the
preparation
of
it
,
proceede
after
this
maner
.
I
take
also
two
new
pottes
vnglased
,
into
one
of
that
which
I
powre
the
vitryol
,
&
set
to
the
fire
,
that
the
vitrioll
may
melte
.
And
the
water
may
also
be
powred
to
the
same
;
although
it
be
not
so
requisite
&
necessary
,
and
to
be
sturred
togyther
with
a
woodden
spatle
,
&
on
such
wyse
to
be
through
dryed
by
the
fyre
.
In
this
fyrst
calcynation
▪
is
the
vitryoll
purged
from
his
venemousnesse
.
Then
I
bring
the
vitryoll
agayne
into
powder
,
and
sy●●e
it
through
a
fine
sieue
or
salte
,
that
it
may
so
be
labored
into
very
fine
powder
,
&
if
any
péece
shal
yet
remaine
vnbroken
,
I
beat
it
again
,
&c.
After
doe
I
heate
water
,
&
the
same
very
hote
,
doe
I
powre
on
the
powder
contayned
or
being
in
a
vessell
sufficient
large
&
déepe
,
and
sturre
somtimes
about
with
the
woodden
sp●ttle
,
&
let
it
so
rest
,
that
it
may
settle
all
the
nyght
folowing
.
In
the
morning
after
the
setling
,
I
take
away
,
so
nygh
as
I
can
,
all
the
clearer
and
purer
water
resting
aboue
,
but
the
troubled
I
distyll
by
fylter
.
On
those
Feces
or
groundes
remayning
after
the
distyllacion
,
I
powre
the
scalding
water
agayne
,
and
both
sturre
,
&
seperate
,
as
aboue
vttered
:
and
I
the
same
so
often
repeate
,
vntyll
the
vitryoll
hath
no
bytternesse
contayned
or
remayning
in
it
,
or
is
agreeable
to
the
water
.
This
cleare
Lye
or
water
of
the
vitryoll
,
let
it
be
boyled
so
long
by
the
fyre
,
vntyll
in
the
vessell
the
vitryoll
be
harde
gathered
togyther
as
a
stone
,
and
the
water
consumed
.
Of
the
properties
of
the
oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
doth
one
of
D.
Gesnerus
friendes
thus
wryte
:
The
principall
vertue
of
this
oyle
,
is
(
Montane
also
affirming
the
same
)
that
it
causeth
men
not
to
appeare
aged
a
long
tyme
,
and
mo●t
foule
and
corrupt
teeth
,
this
causeth
fayre
and
strong
,
and
the
gummes
also
it
procureth
strong
:
if
the
téeth
dayly
are
lightly
rubbed
with
one
or
two
drops
of
it
:
by
which
maner
doing
,
a
famous
curtisan
in
Venice
,
preserued
hir
téeth
from
all
filth
and
corruption
,
and
maintained
them
steddie
and
fast
many
yeres
:
but
Montane
woulde
not
the
oyle
to
be
vsed
vnto
the
remoouing
of
fittes
,
and
curing
of
sicknesses
,
without
the
addition
of
other
simples
or
myxtures
to
it
:
for
he
had
alwayes
a
regarde
vnto
those
matters
which
were
temperater
,
&
surer
in
the
giuing
:
these
hitherto
he
:

vsed

prosperously

Arnoldus
of

of
Vitrioll
:
Take
of
the

Triacle
,
to

a
fewe
droppes
of
the
oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
and
let
stande
myxed
togither
vntill
you
will
vse
it
:
If
any
lieth
grieuously
sicke
,
and
not
vnto
death
,
giue
a
French
crowne
weight
of
this
myxture
,
but
if
the
man
be
not
ouer
weake
,
then
a
little
more
:
and
drinck
the
whole
meanly
hote
,
with
a
little
wyne
fasting
in
the
morning
foure
houres
before
meate
:
and
if
a
lyttle
shall
happen
to
remayne
in
the
bottome
,
the
same
rynsed
wyth
wyne
,
drincke
in
lyke
maner
:
After
this
,
the
sicke
well
couered
in
be●
,
and
wrapped
about
the
heade
,
in
such
maner
,
that
nothing
of
the
whole
bodye
may
appeare
,
sauing
the
mouth
frée
and
vncouered
:
which
done
,
let
the
pacient
lye
sweating
,
somuch
as
is
possible
for
the
space
of
foure
houres
,
and
sléepe
in
no
wyse
that
tyme
:
The
shéetes
then
chaunged
,
let
the
pacient
yet
abide
in
bedde
for
other
thrée
houres
,
not
sweating
,
before
he
eateth
any

,
then
let
him
eate
somewhat
,

meate
.
After
this
medicine
giuen
,
the
Phisition
maye
vse
other
medicines
,
as
the

and

The
nature
of
this
medicine
is
to
diminishe
all
sickenesses
,
and
to
prepare
the
waye
vnto
health
,
and
the
same
with
expedition
,
and
in
a
short
time
:
doe
in
that
maner
,
that
the
pacient
may
obey
and
kéepe
a
good
dyet
:
The
cure
consisteth
,
that
the
pacient
sweate
rightly
and
plentifully
for
the
foresayde
foure
houres
:
for
this
drinck
rightly
ministred
,
neuer
fayleth
nor
beguyleth
the
Phisition
:
If
the
pacient
after
the
taking
,
be
not
cured
,
yet
doth
he
cast
vp
(
by

)
much

For
the
taking

of
wartes
,
this
is
a
singular
remedie
:
A
certayne
learned
man
supposed
the
oyle
to
helpe
cornes
in
the
féete
,
although
the
same
not
experienced
.
Our
Oyle
of
Vitrioll
is
thus
made
:
Take
of
the
better
Vitrioll
such
a
quantitie
as
you
shall
thinke
néedefull
,
the
same
dissolue
in
hote
water
,
after
let
that
water
cleare
againe

after
poure
it
agayne
into

wythout
any

and
set

beginning
first
with
a
soft

vntill
white

after
increase

making
a

After

in

distilleth
,
which
indureth
vnto
.xxiiij.
houres
,
yea
,
somtimes
to

houres
:
so
that
this
must
be
followed
without
anye
staying
,
vntill
all
be
gathered
,
for
in
this
manner
shall
you
obtaine
the
most
perfite
oyle
of
Vitrioll
:
and
this
maner
,
as
a
most
certaine
practise
,
sundrie
tymes
prooued
by
a
certaine
notable
practisioner
:
Where
to
be
noted
,
that
the
receyuer
ought
to
be
cooled
,
by
another
vessell
filled
with
colde
water
,
and
hauing
a
tappe
,
that
the
cold
water
may
continually
dystill
vpon
the
receauer
,
or
set
this
into
a
filtring
vessell
,
that
the
colde
water
may
like
dystill
vpon
it
,
and
coole
so
the
receyuer
,
which
otherwyse
by
force
of
the
excéeding
heate
woulde
soone
burst
.
After
the
dystillation
fullye
ended
,
and
cooling
both
of
the
furnace
and
glasse
,
let
the
oyle
be
poured
into
a
Retort
,
&
rectified
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
from
the
firie
or
redde
matter
,
of
which
eche
must
be
kept
seuerall
in
glasses
.
Another
practisioner
supposeth
it
to
be
more
skilfully
handled
,
that
after
the
redde
matter
shall
appeare
in
the
dystillation
,
the
receiuer
be
chaunged
,
least
the
true
oyle
by
any
meanes
may
be
affected
with
a
certaine
straunge
qualitie
.
The
vse
of
this
oyle
is
against
all
Agues
:
against
the
cholicke
,
and
strangurie
:
against
the
stone
,
or
sande
of
the
bladder
:
It
doth
marueylously
helpe
the
suffocation
of
the
wombe
,
the
Cough
,
the
Apostume
of
the
breast
and
lungs
,
the
matter
ascending
,
and
as
it
were
,
suffocating
the
lungs
.
It
cureth
the
dropsie
of
any
cause
,
and
preuaileth
against
the
Goute
,
the
Palsie
▪
&c.
And
they
ought
to
giue
or
take
at
a
time
,
two
,
three
,
or
foure

that
singular
practisioner
,
in
his
seconde
booke
of
secrete
practises
,
published
in
the
Italian
tongue
▪
doth
there
vtter
the
maner
of
dystilling
the
oyle
of
Vitriol
▪
which
from
the
common
maner
doth
differ
nothing
at
all
,
sauing
that
the
dystillation
of
the
oyle
at
the
eyght
or
tenth
daye
was
perfourmed
:
and
from
the
beginning
,
as
it
séemed
,
wrought
with
flame
of
fire
,
and
the
oyle
dystilled
,
was
blacke
.
A
compounde
oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
of
the
sayd
Leonard
Fiorauant
prepared
and
made
after
this
maner
:
Take
of
pure
and
whyte
Sugar
foure
pounds
,
of
Rhaponticke
one
pounde
,
of
Ruberbe
one
ounce
,
of
Mercurie
flowers
,
one
pound
,
these
after
the
well
beating
togither
,
frame
into
a
paste
:
on
which
poure
foure
pyntes
of
the
best
Aqua
vitae
,
then
poure
all
into
a
Retort
,
which
diligently
stoppe
,
and
burie
in
hote
horse
dung
for
sixe
dayes
,
after
the
drawing
forth
,
dystill
the
whole
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
vntil
no
more
will
issue
forth
.
The
feces
then
gotten
forth
of
the
Retort
▪
put
into
a
lynnen
bagge
,
which
wryng
strongly
and
throughly
in
a
presse
:
After
take
of
Buglosse
water
,
of
Fumiterrie
,
and
of
Scabio●s
,
of
ech
sixe
ounces
,
and
with
these
waters
,
wash
very
well
the
feces
pressed
out
,
and
wring
them
harde
agayne
in
the
presse
,
which
done
,
throwe
the
feces
awaye
.
And
these
two
waters
togither
,
which
you
gathered
by
pressing
forth
,
dystill
so
often
ouer
by
●
filter●
,
vntil
it
appeareth
sufficient
cleare
▪
after
mixe
it
with
the
first
water
,
and
dystill
all
togither
in
Balneo
Mariae
.
And
when
of
those
thrée
you
shall
h●ue
performed
one
water
,
then
to
ech
pound
or
pynte
of
the
water
,
adde
halfe
a
scruple
,
or
one
whole
dram
(
if
néede
be
)
of
the
finest
oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
which
diligently
kéepe
in
a
glasse
,
vnto
vse
.
Th●s
excellent
composition
I
prepared
in
the
summer
,
and
vsed
it
to
many
with
singular
successe
:
for
it
restoreth
a
weake
or
decayed
stomacke
▪
it
helpeth
the
disease
of
the
mylt
,
&
mittigateth
the
payne
of
the
heade
and
téeth
,
and
many
other
matters
,
wh●ch
for
breuitte
are
●urpassed
:
But
this
composition
is
of
so
maruailous
a
working
,
that
it
may
be
put
in
the
booke
of
the
maruailous
thinges
of
Phisicke
.
For
thy●
kéepeth
or
maintayneth
olde
men
in
their
proper
strength
:
a
matter
greatly
to
be
abashed
and
woondred
at
.
And
I
can
this
auouch
,
that
I
haue
séene
many
men
and
women
,
which
by
vsing
it
after
my
appoyntment
and
counsayle
,
are
renu●d
,
and
become
lustyer
of
age
to
sée
too
:
A
matter
in
déede
greatly
to
be
maruailed
at
,
and
scarcely
to
be
beléeued
:
and
this
compositi●n
also
preserueth
them
long
in
health
which
vse
to
take
of
it
.
The
maner
of
taking
this
excellent
lycour
is
on
this
wyse
:
that
is
,
in
the
morning
let
halfe
an
ounce
of
it
be
taken
fasting
,
and
so
colde
as
it
is
:
and
let
the
person
after
refrayne
to
eate
for
the
space
of
foure
houres
,
and
the
same
day
,
vse
to
eate
the
best
meats
of
s●●●nance
:
and
this
vsed
for
a
time
togither
,
preserueth
the
person
,
as
aboue
vttered
.
A
corrosiue
oyle
of
Vitrioll
:
take
of
Romaine
Vitrioll
sixe
poundes
,
of
common
salt
one
pounde
and
a
halfe
,
let
these
be
calcyned
so
long
togither
,
vntill
they
waxe
redde
,
which
then
take
from
the
fire
,
and
bring
to
pouder
togither
,
the
whole
deuide
into
thrée
parts
:
after
g●t
thrée
glasse
bodies
,
fashioned
to
a
Lu●e
,
verye
well
fenced
with
the
lute
of
wysedome
,
and
into
eche
of
these
,
poure
a
third
part
of
the
sayde
Vitrioll
rubified
,
and
sette
all
the
thrée
bodies
into
one
furnace
of
reuerberation
:
and
make
a
fire
vnder
by
little
and
little
,
vntill
all
the
substance
by
force
of
the
fire
be
drawen
,
which
will
be
so
blacke
a
substance
as
yncke
,
and
many
times
floweth
,
or
is
long
in
the
issuing
forth
:
and
when
the
same
is
come
forth
,
kéepe
it
in
a
glasse
sufficient
large
and
thicke
,
that
it
burst
not
:
with
this
lycour
you
may
open
all
maner
of
impostumes
,
and
clense
all
kynde
of
putrified
vlcers
,
by
wetting
only
on
the
vpper
face
with
the
sayde
lycour
,
which
doth
cause
spéedily
a
marueylous
working
:
and
mortifieth
cankers
,
and
vlcers
cankred
,
and
doth
many
other
matters
besides
:
all
which
I
haue
many
times
tryed
,
and
found
euermore
true
and
perfite
:
This
borrowed
out
of
the
Italian
secretes
of
the
singular
Fallopius
.
Another
of
the
same
mans
,
otherwise
prepared
and
drawne
,
named
a
compounde
oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
and
that
most
strong
,
on
thys
wyse
:
Take
of
Romaine
Vitrioll
sixe
poundes
,
of
salt
Armoniack
,
of
Brimstone
,
of
Vermilion
,
of
Orpiment
,
and
of
roche Allum
,
of
eche
sixe
ounces
,
let
all
be
calcined
(
as
we
haue
aboue
vttered
)
vntil
all
the
whole
be
come
vnto
a
rednesse
,
and
being
thus
rubified
,
let
all
be
brought
into
fine
pouder
,
and
poured
into
a
bodie
(
as
aboue
vttered
)
and
let
fire
be
continued
vnder
it
for
sixe
whole
dayes
,
remembring
before
that
the
ioyntes
be
diligently
luted
:
With
this
licour
may
you
depopulate
or
cut
of
any
member
,
if
you
wette
a
large
knyfe
made
of
the
woode
of
the
Oliue
trée
in
it
,
and
marke
the
place
about
with
tha
sayde
woode
where
you
will
cut
it
of
:
this
then
is
of
such
a
force
and
efficacie
,
that
it
openeth
the
fleshe
,
euen
as
the
same
were
done
or
cut
with
a
rasour
,
and
worketh
the
proper
effect
,
without
the
shedding
of
any
drop
of
bloude
:
And
this
causticke
is
one
of
the
worthyest
secretes
of
all
Chirurgerie
,
and
proued
very
often
of
the
singular
Fallopius
,
and
sundrie
other
Chirurgions
,
which
haue
wrought
the

effect
,
which
I
haue
séene
many
times
.
A
naturall

most
subtill
oyle
of
Vitrioll
,
pleasaunt
or
swéete
in
taste
,
which
is
accounted
for
a
miracle
:
Take
of
the
Hungarian
vitrioll
foure
poundes
,
which
brought
into
very
fine
pouder
,
and
dryed
in
a
bodie
,
poure
after
into
another
bodie
well
fenced
with
lute
,
being
well
beaten
togither
,
and
thrust
downe
:
Then
poure
vppon
of
sublymed
wyne
rectified
,
vnto
the
top
of
the
foure
poundes
,
which
set
to
digest
for
fortie
dayes
,
after
dystill
according
to
Arte
:
and
you
shall
then
sée
the
Oyle
of
Vitrioll
swimme
aboue
the
vpper
part
of
the
sublimed
wyne
:
But
the
common
oyle
of

shall
be
mixed
with
his
water

In

:
and
séeing
the
Canker
is
a
disease
of
the

AN
oyle
of
Copper
learned
of
a
French
Empericke
:
Take
of
burnt
Copper
two
poundes
,
which
finely
brought
to
pouder
,
and
poured
into
a
glasse
Cucurbite
very
well
luted
,
and
imbybed
with
the
strong
vinegar
,
the
whole
dystill
in
xxiij
.
houres
space
,
and
you
shall
obtaine
a
most
strong
oyle
,
of
a
redde
and
gréene
colour
.
An
oyle
of
Saturne
or
Leadé
,
is
thus
prepared
and
made
,
which
is
after
an
easie
maner
:
Take
of
Ceruse
which
is
Leade
calcined
,
and
boyle
it
with
the
strongest
vinegar
,
after
let
the
same
settle
or
rest
a
time
,
and
the
vinegar
shall
become
yelow
of
colour
:
the
same
then
poure
into
a
bodie
,
and
euaporate
the
vinegar
forth
,
and
in
the
bottome
will
the
oyle
remayne
:
This
oyle
of
Saturne
is
commended
in
olde
vlcers
,
especially
those
(
which
Theophrastus
nameth
the
vlcers
of
the
face
)
of
which
kynde
are
,
the
Canker
,
and
Fistulaes
about
the
nose
.
I
knewe
(
sayth
the
Authour
)
a
woman
who
had
hir
nose
almost
eaten
away
with
a
wicked
vlcer
,
&
was
throughly
cured
with
this
oyle
alone
:
This
oyle
molten
,
ought
to
be
applyed
with
a
warmenesse
,
or
by
the
furnace
in
the
Winter
tyme
,
and
striked
ouer
with
a
fether
.
A
certaine
person
sold
halfe
an
ounce
of
this
for
a
crowne
of
gold
.
The
dose
of
it
at
a
time
,
to
be
giuen
inward
with
any
lycour
,
is
thrée
graynes
:
and
vsed
both
in
the
cholicke
,
&
in
fistulaes
.
An
oyle
of
Iron
,
vnderstoode
of
a
French
Empericke
:
Take
of
the
filings
or
beatings
of
the
Iron
about
the
Anuill
finely
laboured
to
pouder
,
so
much
as
you
will
,
the
same
imbibe
with
childes
vryne
,
after
calcine
so
often
in
the
Furnace
of
reuerberation
,
vntill
it
be
brought
impalpable
,
and
of
a
sanguine
colour
,
then
poure
it
into
a
glasse
bodie
well
fenced
with
lute
,
and
imbybe
the
substance
againe
,
with
the
strongest
dystilled
vynegar
,
which
dystill
after
the
maner
of
Aqua
fortis
,
by
the
space
of
.
xxiiij
.
houres
,
euer
increasing
the
fire
,
and
you
shall
obtayne
a
thicke
and
very
redde
oyle
.
The
experience
of
the
oyle
is
,
that
the
lamines
of
anye
metall
rubified
,
if
they
be
quenched
in
this
oyle
,
forthwith
receyue
the
colour
of
golde
:
so
marueylous
is
the
tincture
,
and
péercing
,
and
doth
also
congeale
Mercurie
diuinely
,
and
doth
many
other
affectes
in
the
Arte
of
Alchimie
.
Besides
,
in
Phisicke
,
this
worketh
marueylously
,
in
that
the
same
resolueth
and
healeth
many
infirmities
,
and
especially
the
fluxe
of
the
bodie
,
if
so
be
a
small
quantitie
be
giuen
by
the
mouth
with
anye
sirrupe
,
or
other
like
composition
,
which
worketh
a
marueylous
helpe
to
the
pacient
that
taketh
it
:
so
the●
I
affirme
the
sande
oyle
to
be
as
a
true
▪
Quintessence
to
our
bodies
,
seeing
it
is
so
miraculous
in
his
working
.
An
oyle
out
of
Stéel●
,
and
the
Ad●man●
stone
,
is
drawen
after
the
same
maner
,
as
aboue
taught
of
the
Iron
.
An
oyle
of
Litarge
,
is
holden
and
accounted
for
a
great
secrete
,
in
that
the
same
is
marueylous
in
the
clearing
of
spottes
,
and
Morphewe
,
or
other
blemishes
of
the
face
,
it
maketh
a
small
scarre
,
and
putteth
away
the
rednesse
of
them
,
borrowed
out
of
a
most
auncient
written
booke
:
Take
of
Litarge
finely
brought
to
pouder
,
so
much
as
shall
suffice
,
the
same
dissolue
by
decoction
in
the
strongest
vinegar
,
many
times
togither
,
after
euaporate
the
vinegar
on
the
fire
,
and
a
blacke
oyle
shall
remayne
in
the
bottome
:
which
then
dissolue
with
hote
water
,
by
the
stirring
about
with
a
sticke
cleane
scraped
,
and
after
dystill
it
by
a
woollen
tongue
,
or
by
Fylter
,
and
the
oyle
shal
abyde
in
the
bottome
,
which
separated
from
the
water
,
is
singular
in
the
working
.
An
oyle
which
is
drawne
out
of
Lyme
,
is
marueylous
:
Take
of
vn●eaked
lyme
one
whole
péece
,
which
infuse
in
common
oyle
vntill
it
be
di●solued
,
and
let
the
Lyme
be
brought
to
pouder
,
the
whole
after
poured
into
a
gla●se
Limbecke
,
and
dystilled
,
an
oyle
will
then
issue
,
which
shall
be
named
the
calcine
oyle

ayreal
substance
which
consisteth
in

,
drawne
out

Art
:
and
although
it
be
not
harde
to
purchase
such
an
oyle
,
yet
a
special
care
&
aptnesse
of
instruments
is
required
vnto
the

art
:
for
which
cause
must
diligent
héede
be
giuen
that
the
precepts
following
be
obserued

What
maner
of

must
be
chosen
.
The

ALthoughe
it
be
agreeable
to
Arte
,
and
ryght
necessarye
to
choose
the
purest
Amber
,
vnto
the
dystilling
and
drawing
forth
of
the
oyle
,
and
that
it
be
the
greater
part
of
the
Amber
,
for
in
taking
the
purer
matter
,
a
purer
lycour
also
issueth
forth
,
and
the
receyuer
shall
be
filled
with
the
lesser
quantitie
of
the
excrementall
humour
and
refuse
,
and
it
besides
shall
not
so
easily
be
resolued
with
fire
,
and
at
one
instant
fall
togither
into
the
receyuer
,
if
it
shall
be
of
the
grosser
partes
,
but
shall
dissolue
and
melt
by
little
and
little
,
and
slowly
,
that
the
subtill
substance
which
consisteth

:
yet
in

AFter
you
haue
prepared

let
there
be
a

within
made
sufficient
strong
,
that
cannot
be
séene
without
,
and
that
the
fire
lying

then
poure
so
much
water
into

filled
by
tourne
with
the
Amber
and
flynt
stones
(
layde

courses
as
afore
taught
)

then
nayle

:
Which
done
,
set
the
Cucurbite
on
the
nether
instrument
,
and
the
place
where
they
be
ioyned
togither
,
fence
diligently
about
with
lute
,
that
no
vapour
at
all
may
issue
forth
:
and
stoppe
the
Pype
ascending
with
a
woodden

,
that
you
maye
drawe
the

LEt
vs
nowe
come
vnto
the
seconde
and
last
dystillation
,
which
is
wrought
by
ascension
:
and
is
the
Rectifying
of
the
oyle
,
that
is
,
the
separation
of
the
pure
from
the
vnpure
,
and
perfourmed
after
this
maner
:
Take
a
glasse
Cucurbite
,
and
poure
into
it
the
water
with
the
oyle
,
that
the
belly
of
the
same
maye
be
filled
vnto
the
necke
,
and
set
on
in
lyke
maner
a
heade
of
glasse
,
which
commit
into
Balneo
,
and
you
ought
to
gouerne
all
verye
well
,
least
the
heate
breaketh
it
,
and
poure
into
Balneo
hote
water
.
For
the
glasse
thorowe
hote
,
cannot
endure
the
sodaine
cooling
,
but
cracketh
or
breaketh
incontinent
,
which
prepared
to
distill
,
set
then
to
the
nose
of
the
Lymbecke
a
glasse
receyuer
,
and
an
oyle
will
issue
forth
most
pure
,
myxed
with
a
little
water
:
which
also
must
be
separated
from
the
Oyle
,
by
an
instrument
of
glasse
,
after
the
instruction
of
Valerius
Cordus
,
which
maner
he
always
vsed
:
or
for
lacke
of
the
same
,
you
maye
vse
the
other
instrument
of
glasse
,
much
like
to
the
Funnell
:
for
this
oyle
euermore
swimmeth
aboue
the
water
.
And
this
dystillation
may
also
be
done
by
sande
in
the
same
manner
,
if
so
be
you
fence
the
bodie
before
with
lute
,
that
the
heate
break
not
the
glasse
,
but
the
purer
&
best
commended
,
is
that
done

THis
Oyle
in
auncient
tyme
was
named
holye
,
for
the
marueylous
and
secrete
vertues
of
it
:
for
it
hath
the

properties
,

may

it

THe
Oyle
Benedick
,
or
Oyle
of

stones
,
hauing
in
it
manye
vertues
vnto
colde
griefes
and
diseases
,
and
profitabler
than
a
Baulme
,
by
his
vertue
and
subtilnesse
,
is
prepared
and
drawne
after
this
maner
:
Take
of
newe
baked
Tyles
,
that
neuer
water
came
vpon
,
such
a
quantitie
as
you
thynke
néedefull
,
those
beate
so
small
as
Fetches
,
Hempe
,
Milium
,
or
else
the
ponder
most
finely
sifted
:
After
let
it
be
poured
into
a
glasse
bodie
,
or
other
bodie
,
&
mightily
maintayned
with
fire
,
or
strongly
burned
:
which
thus
burned
,
poure
into
olde
&
cléere
oyle
Olyue
,
if
it
may
be
gotten
,
being
in
an
earthen
vessell
glased
:
and
let
it
so
rest
to
infuse
for
vij
.
or
x.
dayes
,
and
if
any
péeces
be
grosse
,
beate
those
small
,
and
poure
the
whole
into
a
great
Cucurbite
,
on
which
set
a
heade
artely
luted
in
the
ioynt
,
and
dystill
with
a
soft
fire
:
and
this
conceyue
,
that
of
one
pounde
of
the
Oyle
,
you
shall
gather
but
one
ounce
,
whose
naturall
vertue
excéedeth
,
and
is
greater
in
effect
than
the
naturall
Baulme
,
in
the
curing
of
all
cold
sicknesses
&
griefs
,
&
is
hoter
than
it
:
&
for
that
cause
it
is
named
oyle
Benedick
,
or
blessed
oile
,
especially
vnto
the
curing
of
cold
sicknesses
,
&
the
older
the
oyle
shall
be
before
the
occupying
,
the
better
will
it
work
.
The
true
and
certaine
notes
to
knowe
this
Oyle
assuredly
,
are
these
:
that
the
oyle
Oliue
holdeth
or
beareth
vp
(
as
it
were
)
thys
oyle
in
the
myddle
of
it
:
or
stayeth
it
hanging
about
the
bottome
,
and
not
touching
the
bottome
,
whereof
this
sheweth
it selfe
to
be
hoter
and
lighter
than
the
oyle
Olyue
:
and
the
same
also
which
is
not
Artely
drawne
of
Tyles
,
i●
heauye
,
so
that
if
a
drop
be
let
fall
into
this
purer
oyle
,
it
falleth
to
the
bottome
:
and
in
this
is
the
coldnesse
and
heauynesse
of
it
knowne
.
Also
this
Oyle
causeth
or
yéeldeth
a
strong
sauour
,
and
is
redde
in
colour
:
and
a
drop
of
it
besides
poured
in
the
hand
,
doth
incontinent
vanish
away
,
&
spreadeth
all
the
hande
:
and
if
an
yron
rodde
be
annoynted
with
the
same
Oyle
,
and
touched
of
any
fl●me
,
doth
forthwith
burne
:
and
kindled
or
flaming
,
doth
not
easily

suppeth
vp
the

That

I
haue
tryed
the
marueylous
vertue
of
it
(
sayeth
Lemnius
)
in
many
matters
,
for
at
what
time
the
ayre
is
very
colde
,
and
that
it
strongly
fréeseth
,
this
lycour
for
all
that
is
not
frosen

nor
congealed
to
yse
,
insomuch
the

myxed

frosen
,
and
the
same
procéedeth
through
the
extréeme
hotenesse
and
thynnesse
,
which
consist
in
it
:
this
burning
wyne
myxed
with
salt
,

on

,
causeth

The
sauour

slayeth

auoydeth

This
Vitalis
.
And
this
one
thing
is
marueylous
,
which
I
learned
(
sayth
the
Author
)
of
a
credible
person
:
that
if
certaine
droppes
of
the
water
be
poured
into
a
gunne
,
and
myxed
with
the
pouder
at
the
shooting
of

this
htetsarb
:
In
the
same
maner
are
also
great
rockes
of
stone
broken
:
and
I
heare
(
sayth
the
Authour
)
a
beaten
way
so
made
by
the
valley
Tellina
,
(
as
I
gesse
)
toward
Millaine
:
By
the
dropping
of
the
water
on
the
rockes
,
made
of
wyne
thrice
dystilled
ouer
,
which
by
that
meanes
are
woonderfullye
cracked
and
broken
a
sunder
.
Further
a
lynnen
clothe
dypped
in
it
(
as
we
haue
aboue
vttered
)
doth
wholye
flame
,
without
harme
of
the
threades
:
and
dystilled
a
fourth
time
ouer
,
if
you
then
throwe
of
it
vp
into
the
ayre
,
nothing
of
it
will
discende
or
fall
to
the
earth
:
And
if
you
will
a
fishe
to
haue
a
better
sauour
with
it
,
kill
the
fishe
then
in
this
dystilled
licour
,
and
suffer
the
same
to
lye
in
it
a
time
,
and
it
wil
continue
in
the
like
sauour
for
many
days
:
if
you
season
the
fishe
killed
in
this
maner
,
with
Salt

there
will
nothing
eate
pleasanter

To
be
auayleable
against
the
paynes
of

,
and

swellings
,
did
the
author
vnderstand
&
learne
this
of
a
certaine
farmer
or
franklin
of
the
countrie
,
on
this
wise
:
that
a
platter
or
basen
should
be
taken
,
&
so
fenced
,
that
it
coulde
not
be
harmed
with
the
fire
,
thorow
a
cloth
layd
on
it
:
the
same
so
prepared
,
set
into
a
hot
house
,
close
on
euery
side
,
&
the
cloth
then
wet
with
the
best
Aqua
vitae
,
set
on
a
flame
(
for
if
the
Aqua
vitae
be
good
,
the
cloth
will
not
be
burned
)
and
let
the
pacient
incontinent
enter
into
that
close
roume
,
and
he
shall
forthwith
sweate
,
in
that
it
procureth
there
a
mightie
heate
:
and
let
this
be
done
fiue
times
,
or
more
,
according
to
the
strength
of
the

,
and
the

Vitalis
de
Furno
(
out
of
many
)
attributed
these
properties
to
it
,
that
it
breaketh
impostumes
aswell
within
as
without
the
body
,
if
it
be
drunck
,
or
applyed
sometimes

It
taketh
away
the

of
the
eyes
,
and
both
the
rednesse
and
heat
of
them
,
and
stayeth
the
shed●ing
of

:
It
helpeth
such
diseased

,
being
discretely
drunck

It
congealeth
Mercurie

whiteneth

It
cureth

the
Canker

,
if

It
sharpeneth

it
bringeth

,
and
maketh
the
person

It
cureth

It
taketh

of

Gargelled

breaketh

It

helpeth
the
Melancholick

and
much
profiteth

,
the

It
cureth
the
Dropsie
of

:
It
much
auayleth
against
the
cholicke
passion
:
with
his
lyme
dissolued
in
wyne
,
it
breaketh
the
stone
of
the

:
but
dissolued
with
his
salt
,
doth
breake
the
stone
of
the
kidneys
,
and
sendeth
the

forth

And
taken
moderatly

doth
put

If
the
leprous
person
shall
measurably
drinck
of

sometimes
,
the

It
profiteth

if

If

that
no

is
eyther
lighter

whose

,
that
fréelyer

:
for
not
to
all
persons
,
or
at
all
tymes
,
the
drinking
of
it
is
so
agréeable
and
healthfull
,
insomuch
that
to
leane
persons
,
&
of
a
drie
nature
,
&
in
the
summer
time
,
the
vse
of
it
is
very
daungerous
,
for
it
burneth
their

consumeth
naturall
moysture
in

:
but
in
the
fatte
and
moyst
bodies
,
and
such
which
doe
abounde
in
the
flegmaticke
humors
,
this
nothing
harmeth
,
in
that
the

digesteth

For
which
cause
in

I
allow
a
moderate

Many

farre
excellenter

For

Take

as
part
of
them
small

THe
artificiall
drawing
of
symple
matters
,
are
wrought
after
this
manner
:
Fyrst
let
purest
and
best
Aqua
vitae
be
chosen
,
which
is
sufficient
effectuous
vnto
the
drawing
foorth
and
purchasing
the
properties
of
the
hearbes
.
Then
take
Sage
,
or
any
lyke
symple
,
out
of
the
which
you
determine
to
drawe
a
iuyce
,
the
same
laye
in
a
drye
ayre
,
towarde
the
North
especiallye
.
Where
after
it
shal
be
a
lytle
dryed
,
shred
or
choppe
finelie
,
and
powre
the
whole
into
a
Glasse
,
whose
mouth
shal
be
sufficient
wyde
,
that
is
,
two
fyngers
broade
,
that
when
you
wyll
,
you
maye
easily
get
or
draw
foorth
whatsoever
is
put
in
,
on
which
powre
the
Aqua
vitae
,
or
spirit
of
the
wyne
,
well
the
lytle
fynger
breadth
aboue
the
hearbe
.
After
couer
the
vessel
dilligently
,
in
this
maner
:
let
paste
be
made
,
with
which
let
the
mouth
be
a
finger
breadth
stopped
round
about
,
next
to
which
binde
vppon
a
fayre
white
Paper
,
and
let
it
be
so
stopped
,
that
it
maye
onely
sticke
to
the
sydes
about
the
mouth
of
the
Glasse
.
This
Paper
thus
set
on
,
let
paste
againe
be
layd
on
rounde
about
the
place
,
aboue
taught
,
and
another
newe
Paper
againe
bound
vpon
the
same
.
Then
a
thyrd
time
laye
paste
vpon
,
and
rounde
about
the
sydes
of
the
mouth
,
and
let
a
thyrde
Paper
be
fastened
,
which
couereth
fullye
ouer
,
that
the
mouth
through
the
paste
and
Paper
maye
closelie
be
stopped
.
After
couer
the
whole
with
ware
,
although
this
bee
not
so
ne●defull
.
These
thus
orderlie
handled
and
done
,
let
the
vessel
after
be
set
for
two
or
thrée
dayes
in
a
hote
place
:
according
as
the
hearbe
put
in
,
shall
be
of
a
thycker
or
thinner
substaunce
,
and
shall
so
néede
to
stiepe
a
longer
or
shorter
tyme
.
At
the
ende
of
which
tyme
,
powre
the
spirit
into
another
vessell
,
and
couer
it
againe
:
and
the
hearbes
remayning
,
presse
or
wring
through
a
Lynnen
cloth
,
so
stronglie
as
is
possible
,
(
or
that
you
can
doe
by
your
strength
)
and
after
the
wrynging
,
throwe
them
awaye
.
Then
powre
other
freshe
hearbes
againe
of
the
same
kynde
,
and
prepared
as
aboue
taught
,
powre
into
the
same
spyrit
,
which
stiepe
,
and
presse
forth
,
and
the
same
repeate
thrée
or
fowre
tymes
ouer
,
euen
as
you
wyll
purchase
the
drafte
mightie
or
weake
.
That
if
the
matter
,
out
of
the
which
a
iuyce
shall
be
drawne
▪
shall
be
of
great
price
,
as
is
the
Rubarbe
,
&
Lignum
aloes
:
then
not
once
pouring
of
Aqua
vitae
on
it
is
sufficient
,
but
dyuers
and
often
tymes
▪
that
whatsoever
of
the
spirit
or
propertie
of
the
symple
shall
be
,
maye
wholie
be
lefte
in
the
water
.
Now
after
the
spirit
of
the
wine
,
shall
abound
in
the
facultie
of
the
hearbs
,
in
so
much
that
it
shal
in
a
maner
haue
lost
the
proper
tast
or
savour
,
then
presse
or
wring
forth
the
hearbes
,
and
the
same
which
shall
be
pressed
foorth
,
dylligentlie
and
subtyllie
distyl
by
Fylter
,
and
vse
when
néede
shall
requyre
.
Or
the
spirit
of
the
wyne
from
the
propertie
of
the
hearbes
,
shall
be
easyer
seperated
by
distyllation
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
in
drawing
foorth
eyther
the
halfe
,
or
all
togyther
,
vntyll
it
shall
come
vnto
an
extreame
waterynesse
,
or
vntyll
it
bee
thyckened
as
a
Sauce
,
or
the
iuyce
dryed
and
hardened
,
which
may
be
brought
to
powder
,
accordyng
as
you
wyll
applye
and
vse
the
same
.
For
when
much
moysture
shall
be
,
in
the
drawing
foorth
,
then
after
the
seperation
of
the
wyne
,
is
it
a
noate
or
token
,
that
the
spirit
of
the
wyne
was
not
syncere
and
pure
.
But
where
the
spyrit
of
the
wyne
shall
be
sufficient
myghtye
,
and
that
in
the
ende
of
the
distyllation
,
no
waterynesse
remayneth
and
insueth
,
then
take
the
distylled
water
of
the
same
symple
,
and
poure
to
that
drawne
,
and
myxe
dylligentlye
togyther
with
a
quyll
or
Feather
,
that
the
spirit
yet
remayning
or
left
behynde
in
the
matter
,
maye
be
myxed
togyther
with
the
water
poured
forth
:
then
drawe
againe
by
Lymbecke
,
the
water
poured
forth
,
and
the
same
may
you
so
often
repeate
,
vntyll
no
spirit
of
the
wyne
be
fealt
or
perceyued
in
the
drawing
,
the
which
lyke
may
thus
be
knowne
or
proued
.
When
no
wine
mixture
of
the
spirit
is
dystilled
togither
with
the
water
,
but
a
pure
water
onely
,
then
may
you
iudge
and
perceyue
,
that
the
same
to
be
sufficient
.
But
I
doe
counsell
(
sayth
the
Aucthour
)
&
the
same
also
is
of
vse
and
practise
,
that
to
the
draft
or
substance
of
the
hearbs
,
let
the
proper
water
be
poured
▪
yet
afore
distylled
apart
,
euen
as
I
have
above
vttered
in
the
drawing
of
the
Sage
.
And
in
the
same
maner
maye
the
spirites
of
the
wine
be
gotten
,
as
by
pouring
the
water
of
the
Sage
distylled
in
the
ende
,
and
very
well
mixed
togyther
,
and
seperated
againe
.
And
such
a
drawing
foorth
is
excellent
,
and
is
preserued
many
yeares
.
An
order
and
waye
by
which
the
iuyce
,
of
eache
hearbe
,
may
be
obtained
:
as
in
the
distylled
water
of
any
hearbe
,
powre
the
drye
hearbe
powdered
,
which
infuse
in
hote
water
for
a
time
,
but
boyle
it
nothing
at
all
.
After
straine
the
same
,
then
into
the
strayning
powre
againe
the
drye
hearbe
of
the
same
kind
in
powder
,
&
lyke
infused
,
straine
againe
,
which
often
repeate
,
and
in
the
ende
distyl
it
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
that
the
th
ynner
part
may
be
dissolued
into
a
vapour
,
and
that
which
shall
after
remaine
in
the
bottome
,
wyll
be
so
thicke
as
Honny
,
and
iuyce
of
the
hearbe
:
and
in
the
Receauer
is
only
gathered
,
the
water
of
the
hearbe
:
Or
thus
.
Of
the
herbe
whose
lycour
you
would
distyl
presse
out
the
iuyce
,
&
the
remnaunt
of
the
expression
distilled
togither
with
the
iuyce
,
the
lycor
shal
be
the
effectuousser
&
clearer
as
I
heare
,
sayth
D.
Gesnerus
.
A
verie
comely
maner
,
and
nothing
so
laborious
or
painfull
,
by
which
the
true
substaunce
,
or
Quintessence
,
&
the
water
also
may
easilye
be
drawne
,
out
of
any
Symple
,
or
hearbe
,
or
roote
:
and
this
maner
also
shall
serue
and
be
ayte
,
for
diuers
fruites
,
as
that
the
iuyces
presed
out
and
putrified
.
Take
the
roote
or
hearbe
gathered
in
the
aptest
time
,
&
dryed
in
the
shadow
or
ayre
,
and
the
same
in
a
cleane
vessell
,
poured
in
vpon
the
proper
water
drawne
otherwise
by
distyllation
,
which
infuse
so
long
togyther
untyl
the
water
hath
purchased
the
colour
of
the
infused
mater
,
them
seperate
the
water
into
another
vessel
apart
,
which
keepe
close
stopped
.
And
to
the
roote
or
hearbe
poure
the
other
water
distylled
,
and
let
them
stand
againe
couered
,
vnto
the
chaunging
of
the
colour
of
the
water
,
then
〈◊〉
(
aboue
taught
)
seperate
the
water
▪
&
myxe
it
with
the
first
,
which
so
often
repeate
,
vntyll
no
more
wyll
issue
forth
,
and
that
the
roote
or
hearbe
,
obtaineth
no
more
strength
at
all
.
Which
done
,
the
waters
gathered
in
a
Cucurbite
,
distyll
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
with
the
head
and
Receauer
set
to
after
Arte
,
that
all
the
water
may
ascend
&
be
gathered
,
and
the
mater
or
substance
be
ingrossed
as
paste
,
or
a
Pultyse
.
Which
when
it
shall
so
come
vnto
,
drawe
foorth
the
grosse
matter
left
in
the
bottome
of
the
Cucurbite
,
and
when
you
haue
poured
it
into
Basen
or
other
cleane
vessell
,
sturre
the
whole
about
with
a
most
easy
and
gentle
heate
:
as
nygh
to
a
Furnace
,
or
on
hote
ymbers
,
that
the
superfluous
moysture
may
by
lytle
&
litle
within
certaine
dayes
euaporate
foorth
,
and
the
same
matter
attaine
the
styfnesse
of
an
Electuary
,
or
else
of
Honny
:
then
haue
you
purchased
the
best
&
most
precious
substaunce
of
the
matter
drawne
,
or
the
Quintessence
,
with
which
,
euen
with
a
most
small
quantitie
,
you
shall
doe
more
,
then
with
great
quantityes
of
the
rootes
or
hearbes
.
And
let
this
be
kept
in
a
Syluer
,
or
Tynnie
vessell
close
stopped
,
which
the
older
it
shall
be
before
the
occupying
,
the
better
wyll
it
be
to
vse
.
And
further
note
,
that
the
water
drawne
by
distyllation
,
no
lesse
auaileth
,
then
the
other
waters
distylled
of
the
hearbes
or
rootes
.
Another
manner
,
of
drawing
foorth
of
substaunces
:
Take
any
drie
roote
,
as
the
roote
of
Petasitis
,
the
same
brought
to
fine
pouder
,
&
put
into
a
Cucurbite
,
poure
vpon
a
sufficient
quantitie
of
wyne
:
the
Cucurbite
dilligentlie
luted
,
set
into
Balneo
Mariae
,
and
let
the
wyne
be
drawne
forth
.
When
out
of
this
wyne
you
shall
haue
drawne
a
cuppe
meane
full
,
and
that
the
matter
which
is
in
the
Cucurbyte
,
shall
be
cooled
,
powre
then
the
same
water
or
wyne
which
you
haue
drawne
foorth
,
&
distyll
it
againe
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
and
the
same
repeate
or
doe
thrée
tymes
ouer
,
if
néede
shall
be
,
or
oftner
,
vntyll
all
the
propertie
through
the
decoction
shall
consist
in
the
wyne
.
This
being
done
,
wring
the
substaunce
gently
with
the
handes
,
and
that
pressed
foorth
dylligentlye
kéepe
.
For
this
is
so
precious
as
Gold
:
and
where
you
wyl
,
the
substaunce
in
the
glasse
maye
be
set
in
the
Sunne
,
that
the
wyne
maye
euaporate
,
and
an
oylinesse
onely
remaine
in
the
bottome
.
Another
maner
of
drawing
foorth
,
verye
singular
,
of
an
vncertaine
Aucthour
:
Take
your
Quintessence
,
in
which
infuse
your
proper
simple
,
or
compound
for
fouretéene
houres
,
grosely
brought
to
pouder
,
and
set
rather
in
a
colde
place
,
then
hote
to
infuse
:
and
the
proper
Quintessence
shall
drawe
to
it
,
the
fixed
spirit
of
your
matter
,
and
be
lyke
in
propertie
to
it
:
and
when
you
shall
see
the
Quintessence
coloured
,
of
the
matter
infused
,
seperate
then
the
same
artificiallie
by
an
instrument
,
which
dylligentlye
kéepe
in
a
Glasse
,
close
stopped
with
waxe
.
Take
againe
your
proper
Quintessence
symple
,
and
poure
it
vpon
your
matter
afore
infused
(
which
is
now
seperated
,
by
the
instrument
)
and
let
it
remayne
againe
to
infuse
,
for
▪
xxii●
▪
howres
,
in
a
colde
place
:
after
it
be
coloured
againe
,
seperate
the
Quintessence
againe
by
an
instrument
,
from
the
substaunce
infused
(
as
you
know
)
&
that
seperated
,
adde
to
the
former
Quintessence
coloured
.
And
poure
vpon
the
simple
essence
of
al
your
substaunce
infused
▪
&
seperate
the
same
so
often
▪
vntyll
your
substaunce
infused
wyll
yéeld
no
more
colour
,
or
colour
the
Quintessence
no
more
.
Take
your
Quintessence
gathered
,
which
poure
into
a
long
necked
Cucurbite
,
setting
vpon
his
Lymbecke
or
head
,
&
luted
accorcording
to
Arte
,
set
into
Balneum
Mariae
,
after
distyll
the
Quintessence
with
a
soft
fyre
,
vntyll
you
shall
see
it
come
vnto
the
styfnesse
of
Pappe
in
the
bottome
of
the
Cucurbite
,
and
shall
have
in
the
bottome
of
the
substance
infused
,
the
spirit
remaining
fixed
,
which
gather
artificiallie
into
a
Syluer
vessell
.
A
most
singular
,
and
the
profitablest
manner
of
drawing
iuyces
out
of
hearbes
.
Take
gréene
Sage
,
and
drawe
a
water
out
of
the
same
by
distyllation
:
or
let
the
dryed
Sage
be
taken
,
on
which
powre
the
water
,
that
from
it
the
subtyller
parte
maye
be
seperated
,
but
the
grosser
Sauge
infused
,
stiepe
for
certayne
dayes
,
whiche
after
distyll
according
to
Arte.
In
this
distylled
water
,
stiepe
againe
the
dryed
Sauge
,
in
suche
manner
,
that
the
water
maye
couer
the
Sauge
,
well
two
or
thrée
fyngers
aboue
:
and
let
the
whole
stande
close
stopped
in
a
Iugge
or
potte
,
that
it
maye
breathe
verye
lyttle
out
,
in
water
temperatelye
hote
.
After
let
the
Sauge
be
pressed
foorth
,
and
the
Sauge
lyke
dryed
,
as
above
vttered
,
stiepe
againe
in
this
water
,
and
the
same
repeate
thrée
or
fowre
tymes
.
Which
done
,
let
the
water
be
seperated
,
which
vnto
another
drawing
maye
aptlye
serue
,
or
vnto
other
vses
.
And
the
same
drawne
,
euaporate
in
an
earthen
vessell
,
and
that
in
a
Furnace
,
or
some
other
hote
place
,
vntyll
it
come
vnto
such
a
styfnesse
,
which
best
lyketh
the
practisioner
.
When
you
wyll
purchase
the
true
substannce
,
out
of
the
Rubarbe
,

The

be

in
a
maner
in

:
which

it selfe
is
most
singular
,
and
maye
be
reserued

in

Of
Xylobeuo
,
of
Theophrastus
,
of
Hohenheim
:
Fyrst
we
purchase
three
kyndes
of
Medycines
,
as
a
Lycour
,
Gumme
,
and
Alkali
.
The
lycour
which
yssueth
,
is
lyke
to
the
iuyce
of
Acacia
:
the
Gum
,
to
that
which
is
named
Albotim
:
Alkali
,
to
the
salt
Geme
.
The
lycour
,
is
the
proper
or
verye
drincke
it selfe
,
the
Gum
,
onely
the
oyntment
:
the
Alkali
,
purging
and
mundifying
.
After
the
lycour
by
the
included
distyllation
,
is
as
the
Oyle
drawne
forth
:
an
ounce
or
foure
ounces
of
which
,
are
effectuousser
and
of
greater
value
then
a
whole
Talent
,
which
according
to
the
boyling
common
of
the
Phisitions
yssueth
forth
of
the
wood
.
In
the
second
manner
,
the
Gum
succéedeth
the
lycour
,
as
out
of
the
same
wood
,
which
is
remayning
,
after
this
manner
.
Put
the
Xyloebenum
into
the
inclusiue
reuerberation
,
in
the
second
degree
of
fyre
,
and
you
shall
at
the
ende
of
.xxiiij.
howres
sée
by
and
by
after
the
Gum
come
,
which
in
the
same
tenacitye
or
clamminesse
with
the
lyquyde
Storax
,
is
seperated
from
the
bodie
,
&
vnto
the
same
through
the
marueylous
sweete
sauour
(
resembled
)
yet
whyles
each
in
the
meane
whiles
consist
or
rest
in
the
heart
,
the
bodie
and
Gum
may
bee
molten
,
of
which
one
pounde
,
and
sixe
ounces
,
bee
effectuousser
,
then
two
hundred
pounds
,
which
in
the
boiling
are
drawne
.
Last
▪
the
Alkali
is
drawne
after
this
maner
:
The
body
is
chaunged
or
altered
into
the
vttermost
substaunce
,
which
is
as
the
spring
and
originall
of
Alkali
,
and
mixing
the
water
of
Fumyniter
with
it
,
is
very
well
courded
,
euen
lyke
Anation
or
Entali
,
whose
value
of
one
pound
and
fiue
ounces
,
is
accoumpted
worthyer
then
fifty
pounds
,
which
are
by
the
common
way
prepared
.
For
the
vse
,
in
the
beginning
,
purge
the
sicke
person
after
this
maner
:
Take
of
Alkali
Xyloebeni
halfe
a
scruple
,
of
the
Triacle
of
Alexandria
two
drams
,
these
myxe
togyther
,
the
dose
or
quantitye
is
halfe
a
scruple
.
And
the
selfe
same
not
a
fyrst
&
second
tyme
,
but
a
thyrd
or
fowrth
tyme
,
and
this
acording
to
the
maner
of
the
sicknesse
.
Further
such
a
vertue
of
purging
,
especiallye
those
payned
and
dysseased
with
the
Goute
,
the
Palsie
,
and
pustulous
humours
,
hath
this
Alkali
:
as
the
lyke
neyther
in
the
laxatiues
,
purgatiues
,
&
expulsyues
is
to
be
found
.
And
the
Chyrurgicall
way
and
forme
of
curing
,
may
alwayes
followe
and
vse
this
purgation
,
after
this
maner
.
In
the
beginning
whatsoever
is
open
,
aptly
with
the
pure
Alkali
,
after
annoynt
the
gumme
twyse
in
the
daye
,
and
the
same
vse
so
often
&
so
long
,
vntyll
eache
are
restored
to
a
sound
skymme
.
That
if
nothing
be
apparant
,
that
you
can
euidently
sée
:
there
annoint
&
vse
the
Gum
,
where
the
paine
lur●keth
or
seemeth
to
lye
hid
.
After
this
maner
may
you
helpe
,
the
Gowte
,
the
Palsie
,
yea
and
the
Frenche
dissease
.
And
wheresoeuer
you
shall
applye
and
vse
it
otherwyse
,
then
here
prescribed
and
taught
you
by
vs
:
you
shall
with
the
Emperickes
,
not
without
a
great
expence
and
dammage
,
lose
both
toyle
and
trauayle
.
The
maner
of
gouernment
&
dyet
:
I
wyll
not
that
you
prescribe
(
sayth
he
)
in
this
place
the
proper
maner
of
dyet
,
but
that
you
cherishe
the
sycke
,
as
it
behoueth
,
with
good
wyne
,
&
meates
aptlye
prepared
.
For
the
order
of
curing
of
the
foresayd
disseases
,
consisteth
not
in
the
maner
of
dyet
,
but
in
the
efficacie
of
the
remedyes
,
as
may
appeare
.
Wherefore
no
cause
there
is
,
that
by
strayte
dyet
,
you
appoint
here
spare
meales
to
the
pacient
.
For
this
exceedeth
all
,
and
not
the
common
vertue
of
this
medicine
.
Of
the
drawing
forth
of
a
true
substaunce
out
of
the
Myrre
,
the
Aloes
,
or
other
like
teares
fattie
,
out
of
which
truely
can
no
perfite
extraction
or
drawing
be
▪
caused
,
but
only
in
the
resolution
and
dystillation
which
is
done
by
Fyltre
,
that
may
be
putrifyed
.
As
for
example
,
take
of
Aloes
what
quantitye
you
wyll
,
which
stiepe
certaine
howres
,
in
a
hote
place
,
in
some
distylled
water
agréeable
,
or
in
dew
water
,
vntyll
the
same
water
be
coloured
,
then
let
thys
water
be
seperated
,
and
new
poured
vppon
,
which
water
after
it
hath
receyued
colour
of
the
infusion
,
powre
the
same
forth
,
&
this
so
often
doe
&
repeate
,
vntyll
the
water
wyll
no
more
be
coloured
or
receyue
colour
.
Then
all
these
waters
ought
to
be
distylled
by
Fyltre
,
&
when
the
water
●y
distyllation
shall
be
seperated
,
a
substaunce
wyll
after
remaine
,
which
you
seeke
.
Such
maner
of
drawinges
are
coni●aled
through
colde
,
but
dissolued
by
heate
:
and
they
are
ministred
and
euen
in
the
same
wayght
and
quantity
,
as
the
substance
out
of
which
they
be
drawne
,
which
lyke
is
not
caused
and
done
in
other
drawinges
,
in
that
the
draft
is
much
mightyer

of

The
.xj.
Chapter
▪
OF
the
Saltes
also
of
which
are
burned
out
of
the
simples
,
the
vse
of
them
in
Phisicke
is
in
a
ma●er
so
great
,
as
is
the
wyne
or
common
Salt
,
which
dayly
and
in
generall
serueth
to
mans
reliefe
.
For
when
from
simples
a
grosse
flewme
is
gotten
,
which
for
trueth
hyndered
,
how
much
lesse
would
they
performe
their
working
,
that
they
might
be
conuerted
into
a
spirituall
matter
,
which
in
the
long
distillation
,
&
Fyltring
is
caused
,
that
they
may
chaunge
by
a
certayne
maner
into
a
fyrie
matter
.
Nor
it
is
to
be
doubted
,
that
when
the
symples
be
so
conuerted
into
a
Salte
,
and
the
Element
of
fire
hath
on
such
wise
dominion
in
them
,
but
that
they
also
soner
pearce
,
and
maye
performe
the
proper
action
:
that
such
a
heape
or
company
of
dyuers
symples
,
shall
not
néede
besydes
,
in
the
composition
of
reméedyes
.
But
such
Saltes
haue
certayne
properties
,
by
which
the
other
purgers
distylled
,
are
in
a
maner
abated
and
troubled
:
For
euerie
Salt
,
as
affyrmeth
Theophrastus
,
purgeth
:
but
the
distylled
waters
of
the
purgers
,
lacke
or
haue
not
the
same
propertye
,
in
that
the
Salt
is
not
ioyned
or
increased
in
them
.
So
that
I
suppose
,
a
great
tartnes
or
sharpnes
consisteth
in
all
,
which
doe
chaunge
the
vryne
.
But
the
way
and
maner
,
by
which
such
Saltes
are
prepared
,
is
dyuers
and
sundrye
wyse
prescribed
and
taught
of
Aucthours
.
For
some
wyl
on
this
wyse
these
to
be
made
,
as
that
the
symple
be
gathered
in
a
due
time
,
from
which
let
his
proper
water
be
drawn
by
Balneum
Mariae
,
&
the
Feces
remayning
in
the
bottome
,
calcyne
in
the
Furnace
of
reuerberation
:
the
proper
water
Fyltre
many
times
ouer
:
the
water
Fyltred
from
the
grosser
matter
,
poure
into
a
bason
,
which
set
in
the
Sunne
,
or
on
hote
ashes
,
that
the
waterinesse
may
so
breath
forth
,
and
the
Salt
remaine
.
This
lyke
may
be
wrought
and
done
,
of
all
the
symples
.
Another
maner
of
drawing
the
Saltes
out
of
hearbes
,
or
rootes
,
or
any
other
matter
,
written
in
the
Germaine
tongue
.
The
hearbs
or
rootes
prepared
vnto
this
vse
▪
ought
afore
to
be
dryed
,
then
burned
in
a
potte
vnto
an
ashie
whitenesse
.
When
you
shall
haue
purchased
a
sufficient
store
of
these
Ashes
,
then
powre
them
into
a
vessell
,
on
which
powre
the
colde
distylled
water
,
or
pure
&
cleare
rayne
water
,
letting
them
so
stand
to
infuse
for
certayne
dayes
,
in
moouing
and
sturring
the
whole
often
about
,
after
Fyltre
the
water
,
or
let
it
runne
through
an
Ippocrasse
bagge
,
and
on
the
former
Ashes
poure
newe
or
freshe
water
,
&
the
same
so
often
(
in
the
same
order
,
as
in
the
first
tyme
)
repeated
,
vntyll
the
Ashes
possesse
or
haue
no
more
sharpnesse
in
them
.
Which
ended
,
all
the
waters
gathered
,
&
poured
into
a
Cucurbite
,
euaporate
in
Ashes
or
Sande
,
and
a
Salte
in
the
ende
remayneth
in
the
bottome
,
which
dyllygentlie
●eepe
,
for
it
is
precious
.
It
is
to
be
enquired
whether
when
this
Salt
shal
be
purchased
,
it
were
best
to
burne
the
hearbes
not
whollye
,
nor
●●daynlye
,
that
a
Lye
may
be
made
of
the
Ashes
:
or
vnto
the
halfe
burned
,
whereby
a
more
vertue
of
the
taste
,
and
smell
may
remaine
,
and
a
lesser
quantity
of
the
yelde
:
or
at
the
ende
whether
any
Masticke
may
also
be
added
,
or
any
Gum
,
or
any
other
matter
,
that
being
wrought
&
made
glutynous
or
glewishe
,
it
may
the
better
be
preserued
,
and
may
also
be
formed
into
Pylles
:
this
D.
Gesnerus
.
Whether
the
Ashes
may
be
boyled
,
as
of
the
wormewood
,
with
the
water
of
the
same
symple
distylled
,
or
with
the
iuyce
of
the
hearbe
puryfied
&
Fyltred
:
or
the
same
hearbe
dryed
,
which
after
the
infusing
boyle
togyther
a
whiles
,
then
straine
the
whole
,
for
on
such
wyse
shall
you
purchase
a
better
sauour
and
taste
:
drye
Roses
maye
in
the
lyke
maner
,
be
ordered
and
prepared
.
The
same
Aucthour
Ge.
Here
is
to
noted
,
that
a
certayne
person
wylleth
the
drawing
of
Saltes
not
to
be
done
with
hote
water
,
but
rather
with
colds
.
After
the
Ashes
drawne
,
a
man
may
both
burne
,
and
calcyne
them
againe
,
as
aboue
taught
,
and
drawe
a
Salte
out
of
them
:
and
the
same
so
often
repeate
ouer
,
vntyll
no
more
taste
of
Salt
be
contayned
or
remaine
in
them
.
That
if
the
Salt
drawne
,
be
not
white
,
then
let
it
be
reuerberated
vnto
a
whitenesse
:
which
thrée
maner
wayes
,
are
dylligentlye
to
be
noated
.
In
the
preparing
of
Salts
,
this
also
is
worthy
to
be
noated
,
that
the
Saltes
be
verye
well
purged
by
Fyltre
:
which
certayne
doe
Fyltre
,
well
twente
and
fowre
tymes
ouer
.
These
Saltes
,
which
Theophrastus
nameth
or
reporteth
to
bée
the
true
A●kalia
,
ought
to
be
kept
in
a
Glasse
,
that
they
bée
not

Ayre
,
which
lyke
happeneth
especiallye
to
Saltes
,
that
are
drawne
and
made
of
hearbes
(

those
substaunces
)
which
possesse
and
haue
a
more
quantitye
of

and
the

The

(
after
a

so
harde
as
a

or
those
,
which
be
verie
well
Fyltred
,
are
so
cleare
,
that
they
may
be

Theophrastus

(
as
I
suppose
)

The

séemeth
especiallye
to
sauour
the

hauing
no

this

The

Gesnerus
thus

To

The
maner
of
making
Salt
,
out
of
the
waters
of
the
Bathes
of
Aponensis
in
the
field
neere
to
Padna
,
which
Iohannes
de
Dondis
first
found
,
&
inuented
,
by
which
he
made
&
purchased
such
a
store
of
Salt
,
that
it
sufficiently
serued
all
his
famylye
,
and
had
a
reasonable
store
besides
,
to
gyue
of
it
to
his
friendes
.
Gabriel
Fallopij
teacheth
the
like
,
in
his
learned
booke
of
bathes
,
waters
&
mettals
.
But
the
Salt
which
he
made
of
the
same
water
,
was
more
sauourly
or
salty
,
and
sowrer
,
than
the
Sea
salt
,
or
any
salt
digged
out
of
th●
earth
.
In
the
large
Lake
of
water
,
of
Aponitana
,
he
placed
certain
hollow
vesselles
of
flynt
,
well
fowre
fingers
breadth
déepe
,
which
vesselles
,
besides
that
they
were
made
hollow
vnto
such
a
depth
,
were
also
framed
square
.
So
that
he
placed
these
vessels
in
the
lake
,
in
such
maner
,
that
the
water
could
not
enter
into
it
,
but
stode
on
the
water
,
well
two
fingers
bredth
aboue
.
After
he
gotte
many
earthen
pots
,
which
he
fylled
with
that
water
:
then
placed
he
them
in
those
square
vesselles
,
and
left
them
euen
there
,
vntil
it
came
to
passe
,
that
the
water
in
those
pottes
contayned
,
were
wrought
and
boyled
through
the
heate
,
and
by
lytle
and
lytle
euaporated
forth
:
and
so
long
this
Philosopher
dyd
permit
or
let
this
water
there
remaine
,
that
it
might
boyle
,
as
how
long
a
certayne
brightnesse
appeared
in
the
water
:
and
he
then
powred
forth
that
water
of
the
pots
,
into
those
hollow
stony
vessels
,
in
which
the
salt
coniealed
most
white
,
as
in
the
highest
vpper
face
of
those
vessels
:
but
in
the
lowest
remayned
,
the
mater
or
substaunce
properly
named
of
him
Gypsea
.
The
vrine
of
a
Chylde
,
if
it
be

after
the
maner
of

,
vnto
the
thicknesse
of
Pitch
,
&
the
flewme
then
powred
forth
,
let
the
vessell
after
be
very
well
sublimed
,
&
you
shal
possesse
the
volatyle
Salt.
There
be
many
which
vse
this
Salt
,
vnto
the
dyssoluing
of
Gold

Philosophers
also
there
be

which
name

Vnto
the
procuring
of
the
Termes
,
as
I
my selfe
have
experienced
:
Take
the

of
the
Celondyne
cleane
scraped
,
and
not
washed
,
so
many
as
you
wyll
,
those
dyllygentlye
stampe
in
a
Marble
morter
:
then
put
them
in
a
vessell
of
cyrculation
(
as
you
know
)
for
a
naturall
day
,
on
which
powre
the
lyfe
of
wyne
,
or
burning
water
,
as
was
of
the
Agaricke
,
and
others
taught
afore
:
after
let
it
remayne
for
a
nyght
,
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
and
then
in
the
morning
drawe
it
forth
,
without
any
pressing
or
wrynging
forth
at
all
.
After
so
worke
that
it
may
be
seperated
(
as
that
it
may
euaporate
)
the
burning
water
in
the
dystylling
,
after
the
accustomed
maner
,
and
that
gathered
,
as
afore
taught
of
the
Agarick
.
And
when
all
the
burning
water
shall
be
consumed
by
Balneum
Mariae
,
in
the
bottome
of
the
vessell
wyll
then
remaine

)
and
you
shall
possesse
a
most
pure
and
fine
Borace
.
A
syngular
forme
and
way
,
in
making
of
the
Borace
,
borrowed
out
of
a
Frenche
booke
written
:
Take
newe
Butter
of
one
monethes
makyng
,
or
there
about
,
salted
,
which
dylligentlye
washe
often
tymes
in
cleare
water
.
Of
this
Butter
washed
,
take
one
pounde
,
of
the
oyle
of
Tartare
thrée
pyntes
,
these
after
the
myxing
in

,
poure
into
an
earthen
platter
or
pan
glased
:
which
stronglie
sturre
and
labour
togyther
with

of
roche Alome
,
being
verye
pure
and
cleare
,
of
Salis
nitri
Alexandrini
halfe
a
pounde
,
these
also
myxe
in
the
hote
Sunne
,
and
set
abroade
at
nyght
in
a
cleare
ayre
:
For
otherwyse
if
rayne
fall
on
the
whole
,
or
be
wette
with
water
,
all
woulde
be
in
vaine
&
come
to
naught
.
The
vpper
face
of
it
onely
wyll
be
coniealed
lyke
to
Christall
,
the
coniealed
take
of
or
away
,
for
the
same
is
the
stone
laboured
and
desired
.
And
this
may
aptly
be
prepared
and
made
,
in
the
monethes
of
Iune
,
Iulie
,
and
August
.
A
syngular
way
of
making
Borace
,
that
at
this
daye
is
in
vse
with
the
Goldsmythes
,
which
was
brought
out
of
Alexandria
vnto
the
Aucthour
,
and
out
of
an
Italian
booke
by
him
,
&
into
Latyn
turned
.
Take
of
Goates
mylke
distylled
,
and
poured
,
into
a
Glasse
bodie
,
adde
to
it
of
roche Alome
brought
to
pouder
,
that
it
may
easily
be
dissolued
without
fire
in
the
water
of
the
mylk
.
The
whole
poured
into
a
narrow
necked
Glasse
,
let
the
water
be
well
two
fingers
breadth
aboue
the
Alome
,
which
close
couered
,
let
so
stand
for
fiue
or
sixe
weekes
,
or
vntyll
the
Alome
appeareth
a
part
,
which
from
the
water
must
be
seperated
or
taken
,
and
put
into
another
Glasse
.
Which
thus
ordered
,
take
two
poundes
of
Oyle
of
sweete
Almondes
,
and
fowre
poundes
of
the
marrow
of
an
Oxe
or
Cowe
:
the
marrow
with
the
Oyle
mixe
so
togyther
,
that
it
maye
melt
and
be
dissolued
▪
which
after
straine
through
a
Linnen
cloth
,
&
you
shall
obtaine
a
thicke
Oyle
.
To
this
Oile
adde
the
abouesayd
Alome
,
in
such
maner
,
that
the
Oyle
couereth
two
fingers
breadth
aboue
the
Alome
,
the
same
then
set
in
the
Sunne
for
three
monethes
,
or
a
longer
tyme
,
which
is
the
better
:
and
on
such
wyse
shall
you
prepare
,
and
make
what
quantitie
of
Boraxe
you
wyll
:
and
this
conceaue
,
to
be
a
most
excellent
secrete
.
For
it
is
the
true
Boraxe
,
which
is
made
in
Alexandria
.

The

Chapter
.
THE
auncient
Philosophers
in
tymes
past
,
had
diuers
opinions
in
the
dyssoluing
of
Golde
,
and
yet
vnto
this
day
,
the
same
not
of
the
learned
fullye
vttered
,
whether
so
pure
and
perfyte
substaunce
,
as
the
Golde
is
,
may
be
purchased
by
mans
industrye
with
any
Arte
,
force
,
and
propertie
of
fire
,
to
be
resolued
into
a
perfyter
and
purer
lycour
.
For
which
cause
,
wée
shall
here
vnder
vtter
certayne
disputacions
and
argumentes
of
this
kynde
,
euen
as
we
founde
them
written
in
scroules
,
in
the
treasure
of
Euonymus
.
And
all
those
in
a
manner
are
propouned
,
of
learned
men
,
on
eyther
part
by
their
Letters
familyarlye
written
to
D.
Gesnerus
.
And
first
of
all
doth
a
certayne
,
most
syngular
Phisition
of
great
report
and
fame
with
vs
,
defende
thus
the
Negatyue
part
.
If
so
be
(
sayth
he
)
an
Oyle
of
Golde
may
be
prepared
and
made
,
then
the
Alchymisters
woulde
obtayne
and
possesse
all
thinges
.
For
neyther
an
Oyle
,
nor
water
is
purchased
,
except
it
be
reduced
into
a
spirit
,
and
the
substaunce
of
the
same
perfitly
mixt
dissolued
.
The
same
whether
it
may
be
compassed
and
done
,
I
beseeche
you
to
reuolue
and
ponder
,
according
to
your
learned
and
Philosophicall
vnderstanding
.
Yet
may
Golde
be
dyssolued
,
and
into
verie
small
partes
,
in
so
much
that
with
the
lycour
in
the
distyllation
▪
as
they
name
it
,
it
may
ascende
:
Notwithstanding
,
certaine
it
is
,
that
the
substaunce
of
Golde
doth
remayne
.
And
many
thinges
there
be
,
which
so
dyssolue
the
Golde
,
that
they
reduce
it
into
verye
small
partes
.
But
do
drawe
a
water
or
oyle
,
out
of
Golde
,
the
skylfull
practysioners
know
:
yet
beleeue
meacute
;
e
,
that
none
hytherto
,
which
affirmed
this
,
performed
the
matter
in
deede
:
which
if
he
coulde
or
knew
the
same
,
he
would
be
rytcher
then
Croesus
.
I
doe
not
denye
,
but
that
a
stone
and
tinctures
maye
be
wrought
and
done
:
yet
consider
a
lytle
I
praye
you
,
that
these
be
but
tryfles
,
and
to
small
purpose
,
So
that
howe
in
a
Golden
vessell
,
the
keuer
of
Golden
vessell
can
no●
be
〈…〉
a
dreame
〈…〉
as
the
most
instructions
in
a
mane●
of
al
the
Alchymi●●e●
,
which
like
many
men
of
our
tyme
,
haue
set
forth
and
le●t
in
wryting
,
theyr
owne
inuentions
and
〈◊〉
,
and
ha●e
vttered
nothing
at
all
of
the
〈◊〉
pra●●ises
and
very●
tru●th
:
For
as
the
others
were
delighted
to
set
forth
other
mens
●●●ties
and
〈◊〉
so
the
▪
Th●ophrastians
also
with
these
,
●●●ye
and
practise
to
ma●e
,
of
●oole●
madde
men
.
And
verye
lyke
it
is
,
that
somewhat
is
ayded
,
no●
by
dyuine
helpe
,
but
that
the
mayster
of
them
to
haue
wrought
and
done
:
yet
that
those
〈◊〉
and
remedyes
▪
which
they
publy●he
,
to
be
▪
vaine
and
false
,
nothing
dou●te
.
For
they
vtter
them
with
such
an
obscurity
,
least
theyr
peruersenes
in
teaching
might
be
perceyued
.
But
of
those
hytherto
,
shall
su●fise
.
But
this
one
thing
(
to
conclude
)
I
maye
adioyne
,
that
the
same
person
must
néedes
be
verye
impudent
and
shameles
,
and
an
vtter
enemie
and
defamer
of
your
worthy
name
,
which
laboured
to
perswade
you
to
credyte
this
.
These
hytherto
be
the
wordes
,
which
a
singular
Phisition
wrote
vnto
D.
Gesnerus
,
of
the
oyle
of
Golde
.
The
lyke
wrote
another
learned
,
vnto
the
same
Gesnerus
,
yet
otherwyse
he
wrote
after
this
sentence
:
that
what
shall
I
wryte
and
vtter
of
the
dy●●oluing
of
Golde
,
or
Gold
potable
,
seeing
such
practyses
are
the
speculacions
of
●ryuolous
persons
,
which
if
those
helped
,
or
serued
vnto
the
matter
,
then
loseth
he
both
oyle
and
labour
.
That
Golde
may
be
reduced
into
verye
small
partes
,
and
be
so
caused
lyquide
,
and
that
the
nature
of
the
Golde
may
be
conuerted
in
a
spyrit
and
oyle
,
the
Alchymistycall
hope
,
and
not
the
●eueth
it selfe
,
alloweth
it
to
be
performed
and
done
.
Yet
the
Gold
brought
into
verye
small
partes
,
and
reduced
into
the
fyrst
Elementes
purest
,
maye
so
be
made
potable
:
but
the
same
(
not
vnder
the
fourme
of
water
or
oyle
)
seeing
it
maye
through
the
myrion
,
cause
other
mettals
to
be
the
better
,
and
as
it
were
to
alter
,
which
I
doe
not
denye
,
yet
graunt
I
not
the
same
to
be
any
thing
at
all
,
as
they
affyrme
of
the
Philosophers
stone
.
But
of
the
water
and
Oyle
of
Golde
,
which
they
so
conninglye
vtter
and
teache
.
I
am
out
of
doubte
and
sure
,
the
same
to
be
wholye
vntrue
.
And
of
the
same
mynde
and
iudgement
séeme
both
the
learned
Auycen
,
and
Albertus
Magnus
to
be
,
yea
and
that
syngular
Brassanolus
:
as
that
〈…〉
,
and
is
as
it
were
contrary
〈…〉
a
substaunce
that
maye
seeme
to
haue
no
groundes
,
seemeth
〈…〉
:
the
rather
,
that
by
force
of
fyre
,
without
any
other
helpe
maye
in
substaunce
by
any
maner
be
altered
.
And
the
lyke
wordes
▪
vsed
Brassanolus
▪
That
of
the
purginges
,
th●se
not
onely
to
be
vaine
and
fryuolous
▪
which
are
reported
of
the
potable
Golde
and
Syluer
▪
but
he
also
doubted
not
to
affyrme
them
to
be
poysons
.
And
many
lyke
wordes
and
opinions
maye
be
alleadged
and
agreeable
vnto
the
same
sentence
,
which
at
this
tyme
for
breuitye
wer
here

But

further
instruction
and

〈…〉
shall
be

Papers
in

wrytten
▪
our
syngular
Gesnerus
hath
left

vndygested

that
many

after

There
were
with

(

maner
of
making
potable
Gold
,
inuented
of
a
Phisition
of
Craconiensis

Gold
prepared
after

maner
of
the
Alchimisters
,
on
this
wyse
,
which
the
Aucthour
borrowed
,
out
of
an

Alchymic
booke
written
.
Fyrst
let

Golde
be
calcyned
,
after
the

After

a
vessell
of
cyrculation
,
which
let
stande
in
a
most
gentle
heate
for
twelue
wéekes
,
and
all
the
spyrites
of
the
Wyne
shall
so
bee
gathered

fyxed
,
and
conuerted
into
a
powder
,
togyther
with
the
Sonne

Golde

which
take

for

wyll
be

Oyle

as
Golde
,
and
this
is
named
potable
Golde
,
of
which
vse
as
you
knowe

And
the
rectifying
of
the

,
is
on
this
wyse
done
,
in
a
vessell
of
recteration
or
rectifying
,
let
the
Wyne
stande
for
tenne
dayes
:
but
in
the
Wyne
before
let
these
be
dyssolued
,
before
that
it
bée
put
into
a
Glasse
to

,
as

,
after
let

taken
,
and
with
this
Wyne
prepare
the
Golde
.
The
potable
Golde
,
sayeth
the
singular
Fiorauante
,
is
a
dyuine
lycour
,
to
which
none
other
may
be
compared
,
that
the
auncient
,
and
later
Philosophe
〈◊〉
haue
by
dillygent
studye
,
great
search
,
art
,
and
practise
,
dyue
●selye
sought
and
laboured
to
dissolue
and
make
this
pocion
of
Gold
,
and
haue
also
attempted
dyuers
and
sundry
wayes
:
of
which
some
of
them
I
wyll
here
reherse
,
to
the
ende
that
the
wyfe
may
iudge
,
which
way
(
of
these
)
seemeth
best
.
For
some
there
were
,
that
before
the
distyllation
,
dyd
diuer
slie
calcyne
the
Golde
,
to
bring
it
to
dissoluing
:
others
there
were
,
which
laboured
to
dissolue
the
Golde
with
Aqua
fortis
and
others
after
the
calcyning
,
haue
indeuoured
to
dissolue
the
Golde
with
Aqua
vitae
:
and
thus
many
haue
trauayled
without
lyght
,
in
the
searche
of
the
Arte
,
hauing
neyther
knowledge
,
skyll
,
nor
yet
experience
.
And
this
co●ceyue
,
that
all
those
matters
which
are
possible
to
be
done
are
wrought
with
great
easinesse
:
and
in
the
lyke
maner
,
is
the
dyssolucion
of
Gold
easilye
wrought
,
Wherefore
I
wyll
here
vtter
&
teache
an
easie
maner
,
and
sure
way
of
making
this
most
precious
lycour
,
so
greatlye
and
highlye
esteemed
of
mortall
creatures
,
not
without
desart
:
in
that
the
same
is
a
substantial
essence
,
&
as
it
were
another
Soule
,
yea
our
lyfe
this
potable
Gold
may
be
named
▪
for
the
sundry
effectes
,
ryght
wonderfull
,
that
it
in
desperate
cases
hath
wrought
.
Take
of
Gold
leaues
,
or
leafe
Gold
,
in
wayght
one
ounce
:
after
get
a
byg
and
well
fleshed
Hen
,
or
male
Pullet
,
which
after
the
kylling
,
pull
,
and
take
forth
the
bowels
&
other
▪
refuse
,
the
body
yet
warme
,
then
open
or
cut
holes
in
many
parts
of
the
body
,
where
most
flesh
is
,
as
on
the
breast
,
the
legs
,
and
vnder
the
winges
.
These
partes
stuffe
&
fyll
with
the
leafe
Gold
,
vntyll
all
be
full
,
or
that
the
whole
be
bestowed
.
Which
done
set
this
Hen
or
pullet
into
an
apt
place
,
where
for
sixe
&
thirty
howers
the
bodye
maye
retaine
or
keepe
a
naturall
heate
,
that
the
Golde
maye
so
be
dyssolued
into
a
water
:
for
there
is
a
certayne
hydde
propertye
in
the
Hennes
or
Pullettes
fleshe
,
for
the
dyssoluing
of
Gold
into
a
water
.
Which
time
ended
take
the
body
forth
,
&
wash
all
the
fleshe
of
the
Hen
or
Pullet
so
throughly
round
about
,
and
clearely
that
nothing
at
al
remaineth
〈◊〉
of

,
with
the
water
of
Honny
▪
distylled
with
his
spyrites
,
being
re●tifyed
twyse
or
thryse
.
This
washing
ended
take
so
much
of
the
water
of
lyfe
,
as
is
of
the
water
,
of
the
washing
of
the
Hennes
fleshe
,
which
mixe
togyther
:
and
for
each
pynt
of
the
sayde
water
,
a●de
one
dram
of
Salt
Armoniacke
,
which
is
white
without
any

these
powre

But
euerye

taking

againe
set

and
remayning
another
moneth
,
that
which
shal
be

:
and
on
such
wyse
,
in
the
space
of
thrée
monethes

shall
you
purchase
all
the
water
dyssolued

In
the

distyll
the
Feces
in

or
sand
,
with
a
strong

,
that
all

better
ascende
and
yssue
forth
.
But
in
the
distyllacion
of
the
Feces
,
this
remember
,
that
on
the
Feces
must
halfe
a
pynt
of
the
fynest
Aqua

powred
,
and
the

which
shall
be
distylled

powre
and
mixe
with
the

that
was
kept
in

▪
these
distyll
againe
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
vntyl
all

distilled
:
which
set
againe
into

Horse

,
for

dayes
,
and
then
haue
you
purchased
potable
Golde
,
easilye
prepared

&
with
small
cost
:
which
by
his
maruaylous
propertye
and
great
vertue
,
rayseth
in
a
maner
the
dead
.
The
vse
&
maner
of
ministring
it
,
is
on
this
wise
:
Take
one
dram
of
the
potable
Gold
,
with
one
ounce
of
the
Inleppe
of
Violets
mixed
togyther
.
And
this
composition
may
be
giuen
in
Broth
,
or
with
any

or
by
it selfe
,
without
any
other
mixture
or
lycour
.
And
if
any
sicke
person
be
at
the
poynt
of
death
,
in
giuing
such
a
lycour
,
shall
lyue
a
farre
longer
tyme
,
then
perhappes
he
might
doe
without
it
:
and
many
by
the
dryncking
of
it
,
haue
recouered
lyfe
and
health
a
long
tyme
after
,
by
which
may
well
appeare
,
of
what
importance
this
is
for
the
Aged
,
to
lyue
one

or
two
,
or
fowre
dayes
after
the
taking
,
for

better
dysposing
of

goodes
and
wyll
:
besydes
this
greatly
auaileth
,
vnto
the

This
also
hath
caused

Of
the
waye
and
manner
of
making
,

preparing
the

,
wrote
a

thus
vnto

I

▪
that
is

the

as
I
sawe
the

For

let

Which
if
it

be

the

shall
compasse
as

in

the

And
for

I
never
sawe
any

pleasaunter
then
the

For
which
cause
it
behooueth
studiously
to
regard
,
and
gather
these
clowdes
.
And
they
are
taken
of
with
the
backe
of
the
imbossed

of
the
Spone
of
Glasse
(
the

into

dystylled

In
this
by

by
wyll
the

fall

The

thus
gathered
,
let
the

,
the
exicration
,
and
dystyllacion
be
repeated
by
order

for
on
such
wyse
shall
another
clowde

and
the

so

repeate
vntyll
all
shall
be
gathered

When
no

appeare

you
haue

purchased
the

which
shall
remaine

The

thus
conuerted
into

taken
out
of

Another
maner
of
Theophrastus
,
for
potable
Golde
:
the
Golde
must
be
dyssolued
(
as
into
most
thinne
plates
driuen
,
and
shredded
verye
small
)
in
Aqua
fortis
agréeable
(
as
foure
tymes
purged
from
the
Feces
;
named
Royall
)
and
washed
from
the
sharpnesse
with
sweete
water
dystylled
,
after
the
dyssoluing
dryed
,
of
which
take
thrée
drams
of
Aqua
vitae
purchased
of
Homry
three
pyntes
,
these
powre
togyther
into
a
Cucurbyte
dylligently
luted
about
,
&
the
mouth
very
well
sealed
or
stopped
,
&
set
on
ymbers
,
or
a
gentle
fyre
for
fowre
and
twenty
howers
,
let
the
same
then
most
easilye
boyle
.
For
on
such
wyse
is
the
Sonne
or
Golde
dyssolued
in
this
water
,
whose
vse
is
as
you
learne
of
the
others
.
A
most
noble
maner
of
potable
Golde
,
verye
rare
and
secrete
.
First
let
an
Orrenge
be
made
hollowe
,
in
taking
forth
the
pulpe
and
seedes
,
into
which
put
leaues
of
Golde
,
not
dryuen
vnto
the
vttermost
thynnesse
,
so
much
as
shall
seeme
needefull
.
Then
the
iuyce
of
the
Orrenge
or
Lemmon
pressed
forth
,
and
powred
to
the
Golde
leaues
,
let
the
Apple
be
close
couered
with
his
cappe
or
keuer
,
&
set
in
a
hote
place
,
or
by
a
Furnace
,
for
fiue
or
eyght
dayes
.
In
this
maner
doe
they
affirme
the
Golde
to
be
brought
into
an
Oyle
.
Which
done
,
let
the
iuyce
be
seperated
from
the
oyle
,
and
the
Oyle
mixed
togyther
with
the
strongest
Aqua
vitae
,
which
sometymes
must
be
seperated
againe
by
dystyllacion
from
the
oyle
.
And
the
iudgement
of
the
perfection
of
the
oyle
,
is
learned
after
this
maner
:
let
a
lytle
of
the
Oyle
be
annoynted
on
a
piece
of
fleshe
,
which
if
it
gylde
not
the
same
,
but
pierceth
vnto
the
déepe
partes
of
it
,
so
that
no
shewe
of
Golde
any
where
appeareth
,
then
is
the
distyllacion
and
working
cunninglye
handled
.
And
the
singular
practisioners
affyrme
this
Oyle
,
to
exceede
both
in
vertue
and
propertie
,
any
other
potable
Golde
,
howe
so
euer
the
same
shall
be
prepared
.
A
potable
Gold
borrowed
out
of
an
Italian
Pamphlet
:
take
of
the
Pomeyse
stone
brought
to
powder
two
poundes
,
of
the
finest
Golde
in
leaues
eyght
ounces
,
these
verye
well
labour
togyther
,
after
take
other
fowre
poundes
of
the
sayde
stone
in
powder
,
without
golde
,
then
let
a
Bed
be
made
of
the
Pomeyse
,
and
another
on
this
course
,
of
the
Pomeyse
with
the
Golde
,
proceeding
by
lyke
order
agayne
,
in
a
glased
Potte
luted
,
that
no
ayre
breath
forth
:
which
done
,
set
the
Pot
in
a
Furnace
,
making
vnder
a
temperate
fyre
for
fortie
dayes
,
after
drawe
forth
the
water
of
Lyfe
,
as
you
knowe
,
that
is
,
powre
the
water
of
Lyfe
on
it
,
and
the
golde
as
an
Oyle
shall
ascende
.
A
potable
Golde
,
which
is
reported
,
to
haue
bene
prepared
of
Raymunde
Lullie
.
He
tooke
of
the
purest
Gold
,
so
much
as
he
thought
néedefull
,
which
in
Aqua
fortis
(
dyssoluing
especially
gold
)
be
first
dyssolued
,
but
after
he
drewe
forth
a
water
and
spyrites
by
distyllation
,
vnto
the
through
drying
of
the
matter
,
wrought
wholye
after
the
maner
of
precypitate
,
practised
in
our
tyme
.
The
same
thus
dryed
,
he
after
in
a
wyne
Seller
brought
into
an
Oyle
(
which
he
perfourmed
by
the
fift
daye
)
and
myxing
it
with
other
apte
matters
,
gaue
it
to
drincke
.
This
is
easye
to
be
done
,
and
a
spéedie
way
,
and
well
to
be
regarded
.
A
potable
Golde
is
thus
made
,
borrowed
out
of
an
auncient
Alchymie
booke
written
.
Potable
Golde
must
bée
made
in
the
same
manner
,
as
afore
vttered
,
where
out
of
the
same
boo●e
,
wee
haue
taught
the
way
,
to
make
the
oyle
of
Vitryoll
.
And
in
the
same
manner
maye
all
precious
stones
be
brought
and
made
potable
,
not
by
adding
Mercurie
,
but
onely
Sulphure
or
Brymstone
.
Therefore
take
what
precious
Stone
you
wyll
,
and
the
same
grynde
verye
fine
on
a
Marble
stone
,
to
it
then
adde

Sulfure
vyue
most

these
powred
into
a
Crucyble
,
set
after
on
quick
coales
,
vntyll
the
Crucyble
become
so
red
,
as
a
burning
coale
,
and
that
the
Brymstone
be
burned
&
breathed
forth
.
This
powder
remayning
powre
againe
on
a
Marble
stone
,
to
which
adde
a
lyke
wayght
of
Brimstone
,
these
worke
the
lyke
,
as
aboue
taught
,
&
doe
the
same
againe
a
thyrde
tyme
:
which
done
,
thy
stone
then
shall
be
sufficient
prepared
.
Of
this
powder
,
take
halfe
a
dramme
,
and
of
the
foresayde
water
thrée
ounces
,
these
powre
togyther

to
which
then
adde

:
yea

resysting
the
Leprye

Take

This
is
a

famous
medycine
,
whose
myghtie
prayses
are
innumerable
,
and
not

to

This
also
is

to
potable
Golde
:
yet
if
pure
Golde
were
resolued
into
a

without
corrosyues
,
and
myxed
with

,
it
woulde

Another

Golde
,
most
excellent
:
before

▪
take
of
the
oldest
wyne
so
much
as
shall
suffice
,
the

powre
into
a

Lymbecke
,
after
lute
the
head
&
body
togyther
in
the
ioynt
,
&
the
Receauer
in
lyke
maner
,
then
let
the
distyllation
be
done
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
by
seperating
the
fowre
Elementes
from
it
:
as
the
fyrst
water
comming
forth
,
shall
be
sharpe
tending
vnto
an
vnsauerye
taste
,
which
is
nothing
woorth
▪
The
second
water
shall
be
most
sharpe
,
felt
lyke
fyre
,
which
also
is
vnprofitable
.
The
thyrd
shall
be
swéete
in
taste
,
&
the
same
is
the
best
,
for
that
is
an
Ayereall
matter
.
The
fourth
water
wyll
be
altogyther
vnsauery
,
which
is
nothing
woorth
,
and
is
named
earth
.
Nowe
take
of
the
abouesayde
swéete
water
,
as
the
Ayereall
matter
fyue
ounces
,
of
the
purest
Golde
dryuen
into
verye
thynne
plates
,
and
clypped
into
lyttle
pieces
,
one
ounce
and
a
halfe
,
these
powre
togyther
into
a
small
Glasse
Lymbecke
,
verye
well
fenced
with
Lute
in
the
bottome
,
which
distyll
by
the
space
of
fyue
dayes
,
with
the
lyght
of
fowre
Candles
:
as
the
fygure
here
vnder
to
the
eye
,
playner
demonstrateth
.
The
fyue
dayes
being
ended
,
remooue
the
flame
or
lyght
,
and
put
vnder
a
meane
fyre
of
coales
,
for
the
space
of
fowre
and
twentye
howers
,
and
the
whole
water
shall
passe
or
fall
into
the
Receauer
,
and
the
Golde
shall
r●mayne
in
the
bottome
of
the
Lymbecke
,
being
then
a
most
cleare
Oyle
,
which
is
the
true
and
syncere
Gold
potable
,
and
most
precious
for
the
vse
of
Phisicke
.
It
is
a
certaine
skylfull
man
often
vsed
,
without
the
commyxion
of
others
,
with
the
water
of
Lyfe
.
And
it
auayleth
or
cureth
the
shedding
of
teares
of
the
eyes
,
if
into
the
outward
corner
of
his
eye
,
the
pacient
lying
vpryght
,
a
droppe
or
halfe
droppe
of
it
be
distylled
.
Where
you
see
the
candelsticke
stande
,
there
must
the
burning
flame
,
with
the
foure
lyghtes
be
set
.
And
an
olde
deafenesse
is
holpen
(
but
whether
procéeded
of
any
cause
,
I
can
not
ryghtly
affyrme
)
by
distylling
one
drop
after
arte
into
the
eare
.
It
throughly
healeth
the
French
scabbe
,
if
the
heads
of
the
pushes
be
afore
clypped
,
and
the
scarres
annoynted
with
the
same
,
after
this
maner
.
If
the
pushes
shall
be
olde
,
then
these
ought
fyrst
to
be
lowe
seared
away
with
a
burning
Iron
,
or
déepe
clypped
with
a
payre
of
shéeres
:
after
the
vlcered
places
,
annoynted
with
the
onely
Oyle
.
That
if
the
pushes
shal
be
new
then
annoint
the
oyle
onely
on
them
:
&
in
this
maner
many
,
were
restored
as
by
a
sure
practise
,
sundrie
tymes
experienced
.
This
Oyle
mixed
togyther
with
the
water
of
Lyfe
appropriated
with
a
proporcion
in
a
maner
sixe
tymes
,
or
eyght
tymes
so
much
of
the
water
vnto
the
oyle
,
doth
auayle
against
all
distillations
of
the
head
,
especially
the
colde
,
that
is
,
the
suffocatyue
or
choking
Rewmes
.
But
on
such
wyse
it
must
be
myxed
togyther
,
that
a
droppe
of
the
oyle
of
Gold
be
instylled
,
into
the
water
of
Lyfe
,
&
mightylie
shaken
togyther
,
vntyll
the
water
of
Lyfe
through
the
gold
purchaseth
a
red
colour
,
yet
verye
cleare
,
and
to
be
seene
through
.
The
same
Oyle
prepared
with
the
water
of
lyfe
,
and
then
myxed
togyther
with
Goates
mylke
,
so
long
laboured
,
vntyll
the
mylke
be
coloured
,
helpeth
swellynges
,
and
sores
of
the
mouth
,
and
throte
,
if
it
be
sundrye
tymes
gargelled
in
the
throte
.
For
the
preseruacion
of
health
,
let
sixe
or
eyght
droppes
be
gyuen
or
taken
euerye
wéeke
,
or
fowretéene
dayes
,
for
a
tyme
togyther
.
But
in
the
curing
of
a
sicknesse
,
let
then
be
mynistred
halfe
,
or
a
whole
sponefull
at
a
tyme
to
the
pacient
:
as

which

,
or
falling
sicknesse
,
or
crampe
,
or
with
a
lyke
griefe
,
shall
through
this
be
cured
.
To
be
briefe
,
the
propertyes
of
it
are
,
to
inforce
,
purge
also
,
and
strengthen
.
He
which
hath
this
Oyle
,
in
a
redynesse
prepared
,
wyll
neuer
sell
the
pure
to
any
,
but
rather
prepared
alwayes
with
the
water
of
lyfe
:
which
euermore
must
be
mynistred
in
the
same
proportion
,
as
afore
vttered
.
He
solde
one
ounce
of
the
same
,
neuer
lesser
,
then
two
crownes
.
A
syngular
oyle
of
Golde
:
let
the
leaues
of
Golde
be
stieped
in
the
iuyce
of
Lemmons
(
but
whether
in
vyneger
,
especially
distylled
)
and
by
the
waterie
humour
in
the
distyllation
drawne
forth
:
yet
(
what
yf
Pearles
,
and
Corralles
be
added
)
then
remayneth
in
the
bottome
,
lyke
Butter
.
The
same
wyne
myxed
,
purchaseth
to
it
a
Golden
colour
,
and
maketh
it
sharpe
,
and
doth
maruaylously
resist
rottennesse
.
It
doth
also
p●●ge
many
grieffes
,
&
●●ouoketh
sweate
.
For
better
credite
of
these
,
make
a
proofe
,
&
you
shall
well
perceyue
that
I
haue
wrytten
&
vttered
a
truth
to
you
(
as
reporteth
a
certayne
learned
man
,
in
his
letter
written
vnto
D.
Gesnerus
)
which
I
nothing
doubte
you
shall
well
lyke
,
and
not
dyscommende
the
vse
of
Golde
.
This
remedye
and
practise
,
euen
as
the
Oyle
of
Vitryoll
,
which
maye
bee
reduced
into
Golde
,
greatlye
auayleth
in
the
Leprosie
,
and
such
which
are
destroyed
,
by
the
Mercuriall
annoyntings
of
those
men
,
which
(
as
Hippocrates
wryteth
)
purchase
money
by
theyr
blinde
practyse
and
ygnoraunce
.
An
Oyle
of
Gold
,
being
the
secrete
of
a
certayne
syngular
practysioner
with
vs
,
which
D.
Gesnerus
obtained
of
a
certaine
friend
,
of
that
condicion
,
that
he
would
not
communicate
or
vtter
the
secrete
to
any
other
.
The
Golde
must
be
dyssolued
into
a
water
,
but
with
what
sharpe
remedyes
I
knowe
not
:
thus
dyssolued
,
it
cannot
on
the
fyre
be
eleuated
and
distylled
through
the
wayght
of
the
same
,
but
through
a
lyttle
burning
water
rectifyed
,
powred
into
it
,
which
by
and
by
without
fyre
ascendeth
(
so
that
speedilye
must
a
Receauer
be
set
vnder
)
and
seperated
from
that
other
matter
eating
or
freting
it
,
by
which
it
had
bene
afore
dyssolued
into
a

.
A

of
the
oyle
of
Golde
,
inuented
by
a

singularlye
practised
,
in
this
kynde
of
distyllation
.
Fyrst
of
all
,
for
this
working
,
prepare
a
Glasse
cuppe
,
or
other

with
the
best
red

fylled
euen
vnto
the

,
which
you
shall
then
set
into
another
vessell
fylled
with
the
coldest
water
,
especially
if
the
worcke
be
attempted
,
and
begunne
in
the
Summer
tyme
:
for
howe
much
colder
the
wyne
then
shal
be
,
&
so
much
the
more
yelde
of
the
Oyle
:
but
how
much
the
hoter
,
so
much
the
lesser
yelde
,
or
nothing
at
all
can
be
purchased
.
And
on
this
Cuppe
set
the

The
calcynation
:
Take

Which
set
vnder
a

:
these
togyther
set
in
a
Goldsmythes
Furnace
,
and
suffer
that
it
maye
burne
darckishe
or
swartishe
in
colour
:
which
so
prepared
,
powre
a
quantitye
of
this
powder
with
an
yron
Ladle
into
the
neather
vessel
,
as
the
porcion
of
an
ounce
and
a
halfe
,
or
two
ounces
at
a
tyme
,
which
in
the
heating
sturre
dilygentlye
with
a●
yron
spatle
,
and
there
shall
appeare
to
you
(
in
the
doing
)
sundry●
colours
,
which
in
the
ende
,
come
all
vnto
a
blacke
colour
,
yet
then
worcke
forewarde
,
and
cease
not

vntyll
the

purchaseth
agayne
a

.
Which
colour
so
appearing
,
take
the
su●staunce
from
the
fyre
,
and
let
it
throughlye
coole
.
These
thus
orderlye
handled
,
put
vnder
another
vessell
lyke
to
the
abouesayde
and
of
the
same
largenesse
as
the
former
was
,
and
the
same
set
into
the
place
of
the
former
,
and
powre
agayne
a
lyke
quantitye
of
the
powder
as
aboue
taught
,
&
let
it
bée
burned
in
the
lyke
maner
,
as
aboue
vttered
,
alwayes
and
continuallye
sturring
the
same
about
,
vntyl
al
the
colours
be
vanished
away
,
&
the
same
hath
obtained
a
rednesse
:
for
on
such
wyse
,
by
the
benefite
of
this
calcynation
,
all
the
spyrites
of
the
Aqua
fortis
are
dispersed
and
euaporated
away
:
that
by
receyuing
a
porcion
of
the
powder
within
the
body
,
no
harme
at
all
can
ensue
of
the
same
.
In
the
preparation
of
this
powder
,
a
man
must
beware
of
the
common
Mercurie
,
which
the
Alchymisters
truely
dye
or
chaunge
in
sundry
colours
,
but
without
Golde
,
nor
it
cannot
so
mightily
calcyne
.
The
dose
or
quantitye
of
this
powder
at
a
tyme
is
,
that
to
olde
persons
about
the
wayght
of
an
olde
pennye
(
waying
so
much
,
as
I
gesse
,
as
a
pease
groate
,
)
but
to
Children
of
twelue
or
fouretene
yeares
of
age
,
so
much
as
an
old
halepenny
wayght
,
giuen
in
a
wafer
cake
,
that
the
whole
powder
may
well
descende
.
The
Aqua
tortis
,
is
thus
prepared
and
made
:
take
of
Vitryoll
two
poundes
,
of
Salt
peter
,
not
extincted
,
and
the
best
,
one
pound
,
these
in
the
grynding
myxe
togyther
,
&
distyll
the
whole
vnto
the
drawing
forth
of
all
the
spyrites
:
and
the
lyke
agayne
a
seconde
tyme
,
distyll
without
any
addicion
,
that
it
may
so
bee
seperated
from
the
grosser
spyrites
,
which
on
this
wyse
ordred
,
the
Aqua
fortis
is
then
so
mightye
,
that
it
maye
dyssolue
the
Mercurie
,
and
calcyne
the
Gold.

the

the

opening

sauing
that

Ein

It
is
artlie
made
of
Brickes

framed
like

F.
Doth
here
wytnesse

made

Lute

after
the
maner
here
discrybed

This
is
a
descripcion
of
the
pouder
of
the
Sonne
or
Golde
,
by
a
brieffer
maner

according
to
the
obseruation
of

And
in

in
many
things
,
where
otherwyse
it
may
be
perfourmed
with
fewe
thinges
,
and
a
short
traueyle
.
To
come
to
the
matter
,
take
a
newe
and
large
earthen
vessell
,
with
a
wyde
mouth
,
as
are
the
Basens
of
the
Barbars
,
seruing
for
blood
letting
,
sauing
that
this
ought
to
bée
wyder
:
the
selfe
same
heated
red
hote
on
burning
coales
,
that
it
may
appeare
glowing
,
then
bring
to
fine
powder
this
thy
red
head
gotten
by
distyllacion
,
as
a
lytle
afore
was
taught
,
and
powre
the
same
burned
into
the
vessell
,
which
continually
sturre
about
with
an
yron
spattle
,
that
it
may
become
and
procéede
from
blacke
of
a
swart
colour
,
and
in
the
ende
againe
of
a
red
colour
:
by
which
meanes
you
shall
obtaine
,
the
powder
of
the
Sonne
or
Gold.
But
beware
in
any
maner
,
that
you
bée
not
annoynted
and
infected
with
the
venymous
vapour
of
the
same
.
Or
thus
,
take
the
same
Amalgama
,
of
which
aboue
vttere●
,
the
same
order
,
that
it
may
melt
into
a
water
,
whereby
in
the
bottome
the
Golde
may
appeare
,
after
the
maner
of
a
red
powder
.
Then
Lute
dylligentlye
the
body
,
in
which
the
distyllacion
mu●t
bée
wrought
,
and
let
the
same
drye
by
it selfe
,
that
it
may
the
●eadyer
and
better
abyde
the
fyre
.
After
set
the
head
on
the
body
,
dyllygently
luting
the
cleftes
or
ioyntes
with
a
piece
of
Lynnen
cloth
,
and
the
Lute
of
wysedome
,
that
the
spyrites
breathe
or
yssue
not
forth
.
And
this
conceaue
,
that
if
the
bodye
,
in
which
the
Amalgama
with
the
Aqua
fortis
is
contayned
,
shall
be
to
the
bygnesse
of
one
measure
,
that
then
the
Receauer
must
be
tenne
or
twelue
measures
great
:
For
otherwyse
through
the
multitude
&
strength
also
of
the
spyrites
,
the
Receauer
would
breake
.
Which
thus
prepared
and
done
,
set
the
body
with
his
head
in
the
Furnace
of
reuerberation
,
in
which
a

must
be
made

Fyrst
let

vntyll
the

after
let
the

For
in

And
in

wyne
of
Sage
,
being
of
great
vertue
,
and
marueylous
,
is
made
after
two
wayes
:
some
put
the
Sage
into
a
bagge
,
and
hang
it
in
the
vessell
of
wyne
:
and
others
boyle
the
Sage
in
the
wyne
,
vntill
it
be
sufficiently
boyled
,
and
both
wayes
be
profitable
and
good
:
This
wyne
is
good
for
tooth
ache
,
and
for
payne
of
the
gummes
:
it
helpeth
also
any
member
that
trembleth
,
and
any
weake
member
it
strengtheneth
,
and
putteth
away
any
euill
humour
in
the
bodie
:
this
also
is
good
for
the
Palsie
,
and
often
prooued
for
payne
of
the
bodie
,
and
drawing
or
crampe
of
members
,
and
sinewes
:
this
besides
is
good
for
the
Lunaticke
,
which
at
the
chaunge
of
the
Moone
lose
their
proper
wittes
and
reason
:
and
to
conclude
,
this
is
profitable
for
payne
of
the
stomacke
,
and
griefe
of
the
Matrice
,
and
all
the
smewie
places
.
The
wyne
of
Fennell
commended
with
the
séedes
,
for
the
dimnesse
of
sight
,
the
spottes
of
the
eyes
,
and
dropsie
,
and
the
swellings
like
to
Leprie
spottes
,
happening
to
children
:
this
also
auayleth
against
euill
meates
,
against
poysons
,
the
Cough
,
and
griefes
of
the
lunges
,
and
it
multiplyeth
the
mylke
in
womens
breasts
:
when
this
wine
is
made
with
the
rootes
,
it
auaileth
against
the
disease
of
the
bladder
,
and
purgeth
al
euil
humors
of
the
body
.
The
wyne
against
the
Fistula
,
is
made
on
this
wyse
:
take
the
long
and
rounde
Aristolochia
,
of
eche
two
braunches
gréene
,
these
after
the
stéeping
and
stamping
in
whyte
wine
,
boyle
vnto
the
consumption
of
two
partes
of
the
wyne
,
which
strayned
through
a
lynnen
cloth
and
settled
,
drincke
euery
morning
fasting
,
and
euening
going
to
bedde
:
and
it
helpeth
or
deliuereth
any
Fistula
,
in
xv
.
or
.xx.
dayes
,
so
that
the
pacient
in
the
meane
time
eate
no
grosse
meates
,
nor
whyte
meates
,
nor
other
contrarie
,
thinges
:
and
on
the
sore
also
laye
playster
wyse
of
the
roote
of
the
rounde
Aristolochia
,
or
of
the
pouder
of
it
,
blowing
the
same
into
the
hole
,
and
on
such
wyse
shall
the
Fistula
be
cured
,
so
that
it
be
not
in
the
bone
entred
.
The
wyne
of
Rosemarie
is
made
in
like
maner
as
the
others
:
of
which
through

:
this
taken
with

,
helpeth
the

:
this

times
distilled
ouer
:
the
Retort
then
set
into
ashes
,
string
a
large
receiuer
to
it
,
and
very
well
luted
in
the
ioint
:
this
done
,
make
vnder
a
softe
fire
in

,
and
increase
the
fire
by
litle
and

vntill
all

which

water

the
receiuer
then
draw
away
,
&
separate
the
water
from
the
oyle
,
which
oyle
is
incombustible
,
&
miraculous
in
sundrie
matters
,
in
the
work
of
Alchimie
,
for
this
greatly
auayleth
in
fixing
the
medicine
volatile
,
and
serueth
well
to
incorporate
with
all
mettals
,
&
seasoneth

which

〈◊〉
in
thi●
(
sayth
the
author
)
&
conceyued
a
great
delight
,
as
to
worke
such
a
mays●●r●e
,
to
sée
so
many
straunge
fumes
&
varieties
:
but
a
more
pleasure
I
tooke
in
the
practise
,
as
to
sée
how
the
same
auailed
in
euery
matter
where
it
was
applyed
:
by
which
I
prooue
this
to
be
a
diuine
substance
▪
&
an
oyle
worthy
of
eternall
memorie
▪
&
this
was
that
great
secret
,
with
which
that
singular
Matheus
the
Hungarian
,
did
so
manye
great
maruailes
in
Padua
:
for
he
healed
with
it
,
the
goute
,
the
quartaine
ague
,
the
paine
of
the
French
disease
,
&
the
drie
scab
on
the
head
,
with
sundry
other
griefes
,
for
which
▪
whyles
he
remained
in
Padua
,
he
was
highly
estéemed
&
woondered
at
.
And
at
the
last
,
in
his
departure
from
Padua
,
he
reuealed
to
me
that
the
only
medicine
which
he
vsed
to
all
the
griefes
,
was
this
oyle
,
and
none
other
:
the
making
of
which
he
fully
vttered
to
me
at
his
departing
(
which
before
he
woulde
not
teach
any
man
)
&
the
same
I
haue
many
times
made
,
and
haue
also
séene
such
straunge
practises
of
it
,
that
here
to
report
them
,
I
should
scarcely
be
beléeued
.
&c.
This
borrowed
out
of
the
rationall
secretes
of
the
singular
Fallopius
.
An other
singular
way
in
making
of
the
incombustible
oyle
seruing
for
the
Alchimical
Art
,
on
this
wise
:
take
of
that
substance
drained
through
,
of
which
so●●
is
made
,
&
common
oyle
,
of
ech
a
like
weight
,
these
after
the
grinding
togither
,
grinde
with
so
much
weyght
of
white
so●e
as
the
one
of
them
,
to
ech
pounde
of
the
sayd
substance
adde
one
ounce
of
salt
Alkali
brought
to
pouder
,
which
substance
wel
mixed
shal
be
as
past
:
the
same
put
into
a
retort
,
hauing
a
receiuer
fastned
to
it
after
art
,
vnder
which
make
a
soft
fire
in
the
beginning
&
increase
after
the
fire
by
little
&
little
,
vntill
no
more
will
distill
forth
,
the
water
the●●●p●rate
from
the
oyle
,
&
the
oyle
kéepe
,
for
it
is
the
incombustible
〈◊〉
with
which
they
make
al
the
Alchimical
medicines
to
penetra●e
●●ttalline
bodies
:
&
this
it
doth
in
that
the
oyle
is
fixed
,
&
the
nature
thereof
is
to
suffer
any
medicine
to
passe
away
in
the
●ume
,
&
this
fixed
oyle
so
burneth
in
the
lampe
,
that
it
neue●
▪
consumeth
,
&
it
serueth
to
many
other
purposes
which
the
author
refuseth
to
vtter
for
sundry
causes
▪
&
the
philosophers
haue
alwais
●id
th●●
oile
,
to
then●
it
should
not
be
known
.
I
hauing
thus
trauailed
to
bring
this
booke
to
an
end
doe
render
thanks
to
the
heaue●ly
Phisition
,
on
whom
the
successe
of
all
medicines
dependeth
