TO THE honourable and Illustrious Assembly the Knights, Citizens and Burgesses of the Commons House of PARLIAMENT.  
THE admirable and incomparable Virtues of this magnetical Medicine (having passed, as the pure and well refined Gold, many perfect Examinations) now presenteth itself to your Noble Hands, humbly craving your honourable protection of this useful Medicine: It is amply accommodated with warrantable Testimonies to be the alone Phoenix and Miracle of all physical Miracles the elixir of Life, the balsam of Nature; It containeth Mystically and Essentially the quintessence of all minerals and vegetables, and Magnetically Sympathizeth with all Animals, It is in material composition, as being compounded in due proportioned Number, Weight and Measure, an Abstract or Compendium of this Elementary World: It is Extracted from the choicest and purest minerals, and metals; It is Animated by celestial Influences, It is sanctified and Metaphysically endowed with Excellent Virtues by the alone worker of all miriacles, from whom every good and perfect gift proceedeth: This my magnetical medicine is distinct in Nature, Compositions and Qualities, and transcendent in Effects and Virtues from the common Regulus of Antimony, whereof violent and pernicious antimonial Cups are commonly made and vulgarly vended, The medicinal Virtues, by me declared to be herein Essentially permanent, are Experimentally approved and found to be most certain and true; This is a healthful medicine without having or leaving any evil qualities or malignant Effects after the taking thereof, as I shall answer before God & Man. Wherefore in full assurance and confidence of the Excellency & safety of this magnetical medicine, I humbly present and subject this precious jewel to your honourable Just Censure and judgement, earnestly praying that it may obtain with you such credit, esteem and acceptation, as the true worth of it shall really merit. And thus humbly and devoutly imploring from the alone giver of all permanent Graces, upon you and yours a plentiful multiplication of all terrene beatitudes, heavenly endowments, and celestial Glories, with his promised reward for constant faithfulness, which is a Crown of Life; So earnestly prayeth.  
your honour's most humbly Devoted. JOHN EVANS.   

To the Reader.  
WHAT the Lord hath sanctified, and communicated for the health and profit of many, ought not to be concealed for the envy and displeasure of a few: God's Candle must not be put under a bushel, neither must his talon be wrapped up and buried in the ground his endowments are communicative, and every real Christian may vindicate his part and portion therein. To you therefore belongeth this medicinal gem, whosoever that desire to prevent contagious and Infectious Maladies, to preserve your Bodies in health, strength, and vigour of Nature, or to restore such as are already infirmed with desperate and dangerous Diseases. Accept then this excellent jewel as the singular gift of God; and the medicinal Virtues thereof herein mentioned, for the approved experiments of Right Honourable, and Right worshipful Personages, many of them for their Eminency and height of Honour, wherewith they are rightfully ennobled, not here to be mentioned: And the rest of such worth and Dignity, that for their Piety and Learning, they are not inferior to many in the Kingdom. And although this might give sufficient satisfaction to all reasonable minds; nevertheless, for that an undoubted Truth feareth not to be exposed to all examinations, whosoever pleaseth shall have a month's trial of them before they buy them; to the end that by the certainty of their own knowledge, practice, and experience, they may be fully confirmed, that the one half of the medicinal Virtues of this antimonial Cup, is not herein reported unto them.

A Confirmation of the medicinal Virtues of the antimonial Cup: Collected out of the most Famous, Learned, and best Approved Philosophers and physicians, that have written of that Subject.  
OF all the minerals contained within the bowels of the Earth, Antimonium deserveth the greatest praise, for the most excellent medicinal Virtues it containeth for the health and benefit of mankind.  
It is a mineral of dark colour, interveined with glistering streaks, consisting according to Paracelsus, of Mercury, Sulphur, and Salt. Antimonium corpus suum ex Mercurio assumit, estque natura Mercurij crassissima, postquam expurgatur, vires & virtutes Mircurij omnes retinit nihilq●e est aliud, quam coagulatus Mercurius per spiritum Salis & Sulphur. And therefore it is generally, by all the Spagiricks, called the balsam, Restorer, and Preserver of Nature.  
It was first discovered by Geber King of Arabia, and by him called Magnesia; for as Magnes draweth Iron unto it with the one point, and expelleth it with the other: So this magnetically extracteth to●, and expelleth from the stomach, whatsoever within the whole body of man is found to be offensive to Nature, or contrary to the health and good constitution of the body.  
It is also called Lupus, for that it devoureth and destroyeth all Metals except the lion, which is Gold; and that it refineth and purifieth above all other things; so doth it also destroy all the corrupt humours that are within the body of man, leaving no impurity to remain in the same.  
Basilius Valentinus Monachus, compareth it to a Ring, without beginning, without ending, for that his medicinal and natural Virtues are inscrutable and past finding out.  
Many are the Medicines that are prepared of this mineral, both against inward and outward Infirmities; but I freely and willingly disclaim them all (especially for inward causes) saving only the Regulus, and what may be conveniently prepared by help of the same, saying with learned and conscionable Duncanus, Caeterasciens omitto, tanquam pernitiosa medicamenta, Jatroch. Born. pag. 91. contenting myself with that, which by authority and testimony of the learned, and the experiments of my worthy friends, and by common practice and experience shall be (by God's grace) invincibly confirmed. The first cornerstone of my building, shall be that of Duncanus, confirmed also by laborious and learned Milius: Hic Regulus est summum auri examen, ac vera omnium florum, & tincturarum medicinalium, in Antimonio existentium materia, that is, This Regulus is the chiefest examination of gold, and the true subject and matter of all medicinal Virtues, contained within the Body of Antimony. To this agreeth the testimony of Basilius Valentinus Monachus, calling it Regulus, sive Dominus medicinae.  
Divine Authority, Nature, and Experience confirmeth this truth; for as life is hid in man, so in all things, whether Animal, vegetable, or mineral, it is invisibly incentred, and so punctually indiscernible, that according to the learned Philosopher Mich. Sengivodius Polonus, the living spark is only the 8200. part of any subject: admire then the effectual power of that spark of life mentioned in the resembled mustardseed; and this to the understanding Reader, may give some touch, both for the universality, penetration, and perpetuation of this divine Medicine.  
And now having discovered my Materia prima, I will produce such workmen for the erection of this little fabric, so well experienced in their profound knowledge, that though by malice and ignorance, they have been often blamed, they could never be shamed, nor justly reproved, and the first shall be that Oriental Star of natural, spagyrical, and magnetical light and knowledge Theophrastus Paracelsus. He in the sixth book. Tit. De vita Longa pag. 167. saith as followeth. Quemadmodum Antimonium purgat Aurum, ita purgat etiam corpus, continet enim essentiam eam quae nihil impuri relinquit in puro, nec ullus est usque adeò, in scriptis Archidoxeos peritus, aut tam insignis Spagyrus, qui vires & facultates Antimonii, plenè indagare queat. In prima enim Yle, Antimonium adeo exaltatum & inter Mineras Elementi aquae praedestinatum est, ut facultas, & virtus ejus nullo diluvio, instar caeterorum aquaearum crescentium imminuta aut absorpta sit, adeóque his omnibus Antimonium longè praestat. In praedestinatione illud ita se habet, ut se influentiae accommodet, nulla facultate, aut dote ejus diminuta, aut infirmata, itaque ex omnibus mineralibus summi Arcani laudem optinet, hoc seipsum purgat, & unà secum etiam alia, quod si nihil boni in subjecto reperitur, impurum corpus transmutat in purum, sicut de Lepra notum est, &c. Paracels. lib. 6. De vita longa, pag. 167. Like as Antimony purifieth Gold, so doth it also cleanse or purify the body of man, it containeth that essence which will permit no uncleanness to remain in that which is pure: neither is there any one found so skilful in the chief secrets of Nature, or so excellent a spagyric, that can find out fully the virtues and medicinal properties of Antimony: it is so much exalted in his first Being, and appointed from the beginning to excel all other Minerals that are of the Element of water, that his virtues should be, and remain, without waste, or diminution for ever: and that it should sympathize and apply to the celestial influence, so to be perpetually sustained in full efficacy, virtue, and effect. Therefore of all minerals it obtaineth the praise of the greatest secret, It purgeth itself, and together with him all other bodies, and although it findeth but little which is clean or pure: it purifieth cleanseth, and changeth that unclean body to be most pure and clean, as it is well known by practice and experience made upon leprous persons.  
And again in the sixth book, pag. 22. Quinta essentia Antimonii venenum adimit, pulmonem enim & cor & membra laeprae subjecta mundat autem & corpus totum purificat & renovat mirum in modum: The essence of Antimony expelleth poison, comforteth the heart, and wonderfully restoreth & purifieth the Lights and other parts of the body apt to be infected with leprosy. Moreover the 7. book p. 73.  
Tanta vis & virtus est in Antimonio, ut restaurat enim & renovat universas in corpore vires, ac facultates mirificè: Such, and so great, is the virtue of Antimony that it wonderfully restoreth and reneweth all the strength and vigour of the whole body.  
And in the eight book he declareth at large the several virtues and medicinal operations of many other excellent vegetables and Minerals, and in the end concludeth, Haec junctim uno in Antimonio latent; These that we have severally spoken of are all inclusively contained in Antimony alone.  
In the sixth book, pag. 22. He teacheth how, by their excellency in virtue and operation, to distinguish of the pre-eminence, and degrees of dignities of Simples, the one above the other; saying, That those that perform the more difficult and desperate cures, aught to bear away the glory of their excelling virtues; concluding thus: Hoc videmus accidere Antimonio, curat Leprosos, Morpheam, Alopeciam & similia, Scabies omnes, & Cicatrices, Leoninam, Elephantiam, Tiriam, &c. Et iterum, Antimonium lepram expellit, magis quam de ipso credibile sit, non secus etiam de aliis intelligendum. This we see to happen in Antimony, it cureth leprosy, cleareth the Complexion, stayeth the falling of the Hair, cureth ringworms▪ Tetters, and scurviness of the Skin, all Scabs and spreading Sores, and all contagious and infectious Diseases. And again afterwards, Antimony expelleth the leprosy more effectually than would be believed, the like operation it hath against other desperate Diseases.  
And in the third book, pag. 343. Antimonium nihil sinit putrescere: Antimony suffereth nothing to corrupt or putrify within the body of man. And in the fourth book, pag. 265. Antimonium per transmutationes rerum preparatum est, eoque reductum ut in dulcedinem abjerit, haec ab infantibus lincta, Caeducum sanavit, in Antimonio vis ac tam potens Arcanum latet, ut paroxysmum etiam vehementissimum tollit: Antimony is so to be prepared, and brought to that sweetness that it may be taken of Infants, and have been thereby cured of the falling sickness; there is so great virtue and power in Antimony, that it taketh away, and preventeth the most extremest fits of the Falling-sickness, Paracels. lib. 4. pag. 265.  
Furthermore, he in the sixth book, pag. 146. saith, Sic ut Antimonium finit Aurum, sic eadem ratione ac forma finit corpus: In illo enim est essentia, quae nihil impuri cum puro confundi sinit, atquo adeò virtus permanserit, ita ut sese ex influentia semper dirigat, neque aliquid de vi; ac virtute nativa unquam decesserit. Merito igitur omnia, quae mineralium sunt, quorum summum ac potissimum Arcanum in se claudit Antimonium, huic uni tribuimus, mundat seipsum una eum reliquis quae immunda sunt, porro si nihil omninò sani adest, immundum corpus in mundum transformat: Lib. 6. De vita longa, pag. 146.  
Like as Antimony refineth Gold, so also by the same reason and manner it purifieth the body of man: In it there is that essence that suffereth no impurity nor uncleanness to remain confusedly intermingled amongst the pure and good, and his virtues so constantly remaineth, directing himself always according to the heavenly influence, that of his natural virtue and power, he shall at no time suffer loss or diminution thereof. Worthily therefore do we attribute to this alone, the power and virtue of all Minerals, whose chief and most powerful secret effects, Antimony comprehendeth in itself alone, he refineth himself, and purifieth, together with itself, what he findeth unclean: moreover, though he find nothing sound he altereth and changeth that impure body to a clean and sound constitution: Lib. 6. And to conclude, Essentia Antimonii est purgatio vera, quae purgat hominem excellentissimè super alia quaevis Arcana, radicitus evellit auferendum, ac omne quod immundum est: humanum corpus in supremum usque sanationis gradum purum efficit, ac ab omnibus aegritudinibus mundat, etiam illis ex quibus oriuntur ulcera; quicquid penes hominem fuerint impuri delet.  
The essence of Antimony is a true and natural purge, which purgeth a man most excellently above all other secrets, it utterly taketh away by the root whatsoever is foul, unwholesome, and aught to be removed, and reduceth the body of man to the highest degree of perfect health, and cleanseth from all manner infirmities and diseases, even from those that are the original and fountain of ulcerous and dangerous diseases, it fully and freely removeth all corrupt and impure humours, that might lie lurking within any part of the body of man. Thus far Paracelsus in his lesser chirurgery, pag. 323.  
My second testimony shall be Martinus Rulandus, a man of sound judgement, great practice and experience, he called the infusion of this Cup his Aqua benedicta, in the 5. Cent. and the 95. Cure he saith thus.  
Communi opinione Hermeticorum receptum est, Magnesiam Saturni quam aiwt esse Antimonium, existere Ens, & radicem omnium metallorum, ex Regulo hujus Antimonii vasculum formetur ad usum medicinale satis aptum, mirabile & idoneum semper, permanens citra ponderis sui viriumque amissionem.  
It is received by the consent and common opinion of all hermetical Philosophers, that the Magnesia of Saturn, which they call Antimony, is the original and beginning of all metals. Of the Regulus of this Antimony there is made a little vessel or cup very admirable, fit and effectual for his medicinal virtues, always remaining in force without loss of weight and virtue: the Infusion of this cup he calleth his Aqua benedicta, which he always, (cum maxima aegrotorum salute in omnibus morbis vulgo etiam incurabi ibus,) used with good success, and the restitution of the health of his patients, yea also in such diseases as were commonly reputed to be incurable. And in another place he saith; Mirifica● possidet virtutes in tota bene medendi ratione, &c. It containeth admirable virtues fit to be used in all sound and perfect medicinal cures, 1. It cleanseth the stomach, 2. Purgeth the head, 3. Preventeth the Lethargy, Swimming, and Vertigo, 4. Cureth frenzy and madness, 5. Preventeth, and many times cureth the falling sickness, 6. It cureth an inveterated cough and hoarseness, although it be of long continuance. 7. Cleareth the windpipe and passage from the lungs and so helpeth such as are short-winded. 8. It cureth the Squinancy or stopping in the throat. 9 It openeth, purgeth, and healeth all Impostumes in the lungs. 10. Restoreth the stomach, and expelleth all evil affects of the same. 11. Preventeth and cureth the pleurisy. 12. Cureth deep melancholy and madness, Cheers up the heart and vital spirits. 13. Cureth the Hypochondriaca or windy melancholy. 14. And is of excelling virtue against all manner of Fevers and Agues. 15. It prevents the infection of the Plague, or other contagious diseases: 16. It preserveth from the Gout, and every kind and species thereof. 17. It purifieth the blood, cleanseth the whole body. 18. Dissipateth and bringeth away congealed or clotted blood or any other corrupt matter. 19 Destroyeth and expelleth all manner of worms. 20. Cureth Morbus Gallicus, & Lues venerea. 21. It prevaileth against the yellow jaundice, and all overflowings of the gall. 22. It openeth and cleanseth all manner of obstructions it is saith Rulandus, Medicina Medicinarum, the Medicine of Medicines, good, healthful, and profitable to be used against all manner of Diseases and Infirmities whatsoever: Thus much and more Mar. Rulandus affirmeth upon his experience and knowledge, whereof read more, Ruland. Cent. 5. Cur. 95. and Cent. 9 cap. 51. Quercitan confirmeth every particular hereof, and reciteth many other experiments of his own practice. See Phrm, restituta Quercitani, pag. 345. And again pag. 238.  
Martinus Rulandus affirmavit se sua aqua benedicta. i. Infusione Reguli Antimonij, centies faelicissimo successis, luem venerean curasse: That is, Rulandus affirmeth, That he (with his blessed water which is the infused liquour in the antimonial Cup) hath perfectly cured the French Pox, and running of the Reins an hundred times, with happy and good success. This reciteth Quercitan out of Martinus Rulandus.  
In the third place I will produce Quercitan himself, Aqua benedicta Antimonij, Insignes enim, & mirandas edit effectus, blandè provocat vomitum & quatuor vel quinque sedes, evacuando per superiora & inferiora simul, quod vix praestabit aliud remedium, usurpatur etiam faelicissime, ad omnis generis febres, etiam pestiferas pleuritides item aliosque deploratissimos affectus qui ob radices profundius validinque infixas, vix subigi & edomari possunt: Vid. Quer. Pharm▪ rest. 238.  
The blessed water or infusion of the magnetical Cup, perfometh most excellent and wonderful effects, it gently procureth vomit, and four or five stools purging both upward and downwards together, which hardly any other Medicine will do: it is administered very successfully against all kind of Fevers, although they be pestilent and infectious; also against the pleurisy, and against all other deplored and desperate Diseases, which are so strongly confirmed, and deeply rooted, that they cannot be overmastered another way, or by any other Medicines. Thus far Quercitan in his Pharmacop. rest pag. 238.  
Fourthly, This truth shall be further confirmed by the testimonies of that excellent and learned Doctor of physic and Philosophy, that wrote out of his own experience and manual practice, Basilica Antimonij in the 22. and 23. page he saith.  
Antimonium est laudabile, & singulare Pestis preservativum, in Hydrope, Lue pestifera, & gallica, in Obstructionibus hepatis, & Lyenis, Ictero, Lepra ejusque speciebus omnibus, medicamen est speciale, & admirabile, ad articulorum gravitatem à Podagra vel Lue venerea relictan commendatur, in vitiosa sanguificatione, in Chachexia, & Lepra laudatur, Catarrhos, cor, & pulmones serientes, cum summo successu exhaurit, & ex hoc celeberrima aqua opthalmica paratur, ad unbeculas & suffusiones commendatur, & ad purgantia Enemeta, cum bono & felici successu recipitur, curat omnes obstructiones viserum, à quartana & tertiana liberat, in Anasarca comm●ndabilis existit, sanguinis est depurativum, Leprae, Epilepsiae, & Podagrae unicum preservativum. That is,  
Antimony is a laudable and singular preservative against the Plague, it is a special and an admirable Medicine against the dropsy, the running of the Reins, and the French Pox, against all obstructions of the Liver or the Spleen, against the intolerable pain of the Arteries and the joints, proceeding from the infection of the Pox; it is much commended and praised to purify and cleanse the blood against the leprosy and the evil estate of the body: It drieth up all rheums and Distillations that offend the Heart or corrupt the Lungs. And of this infusion is made a most excellent medicine for the eyes. It is also administered with good and happy success for purging Glisters: It cureth all obstructions of the inward parts: It delivereth from the tertian and quartan Fevers: It is commended against the dropsy Anasarca: It is the best purifier of the Blood; And is the chiefest, and only preservative against the leprosy, the epilepsy, and the Gout. pag. 22, 23. usque ad 30.  
And again, the same Author in his Basilica Antimonij, pag. 39, 40. &c. saith thus; Antimonium, Naturam confortando sudores movendo, sanguinemque depurando, tantum inimicissimis humanae vitae hostibus bellum in dixit, ut neque Hydrops, neque Podagra, Arthritis, Gallica Lues. Lepra & hisce affines morbi, contra talem medicinam quicquid moliri ausint: Antimony by comforting Nature, by procuring Sweat, and by purifying of the Blood, wageth such war against the most cruel enemies of man's life, that neither the dropsy, nor the Gout, nor the Morbus, nor the leprosy, can any thing at all withstand the effectual virtues of this Medicine, p. 39 And again, antimonium diphoreticum est utilissimum, quod vires conservando sudores movet, in peste & febribus sursum & deorsum movendo purgat, in Hydrope maxime Arcanum: Antimony is a most profitable sweat-procuring Medicine, which by preserving the natural strength procureth Sweat, and purgeth away the infection of the Plague, and pestilential Fever by purging the body both upwards and downwards. Ad capitis affectus singulare remedium: It is a singular remedy against all evil affects of the head. Moreover in the 43. pag. he saith, Antimonium per vomitum venenum recentur assumptum, citissime ejicitur, in febribus & capitis doloribus utiliter exhibitur, omnem Epilepsiae fomitem excernit, & horribilem istum affectum, & hostem vitaequae humanae tortorem omninò expellit, & eradicat, omnem vitiosam colluviem per vomitum, & alvum expellit: pag. 43.  
Antimony by vomit expelleth poison speedily, if lately taken, it is given very profitably against all Fevers and infirmities of the head, it sifteth out the unwholesome matter of the falling-sickness, and utterly expelleth this cruel torture, and adverse enemy to the life and health of mankind, also it driveth out by vomit and siege all filthy corruption and impurity out of the body of man.  
Furthermore in the 46. pag. he saith, Antimonium febres curat, à putredine praeservat, ciborum appetentiam excitat, ventriculum constringendi confortat, omnemque calorem praeter Naturam, in corpore humano ortum extinguit, epilepsiam curat, calculum francit, lumbricos enecat, mensis & urinam movet, & dolores etiam padagricos extrinsecus adhibitum mulcet, & multa alia in medicina praestat, dentium dolorem sistit, Balsamum vitae instaurat, sanguinem purificat, obstructiones reserat; nunquam anhelosos & asthmaticos deserit, summum sanguinis mundificativun, calculum renum & vesicae frangit & expellit, urinam & sudores movet, ulcera, fistulas, & vulnera à putridine conservat & sanat  
Antimony cureth Fevers, preserveth from Putrefaction, procureth Appetite, comforteth the stomach, allayeth all immoderate, and unnatural heat, cureth the falling-sickness, breaketh the Stone, killeth Worms, procureth Urine, and the monthly Flowers, assuageth the pain of the Gout by bathing with the infusion and external application; and hath many other medicinal virtues, stayeth the pain of the Teeth, restoreth the balsam and strength of nature, purifieth the blood, openeth obstructions, forsaketh not to comfort and help the asthmatical, and such as are short-winded, is the chief cleanser and purifier of the Blood, it breaketh and expelleth the Stone, whether it be of the Reins or of the Bladder, it procureth Urine and Sweat, cureth perfectly Ulcers, fistulas and Wounds, and preserveth them from corruption and putrefaction. Basilica Antimonij, pag. 47, 48. 49.  
I may not omit the testimony of that excellent physician Oswaldus Crollius' physician to the Prince of Anhalt, who in his Basilica Chimica, pag. 214. saith thus: Antimonium operatur mirabilia in peste, in febribus, acutis, in Mania, in dilirio, in dementiis, facinationibus, morbis omnibus in universum opitulatur, epilepsiis & aliis quamplurimis morbis adjuvat, per alvum, per superiora, per por●s, per insensibilem transpirationem noxia copiose expurgat. Antimony doth wonderful things in the preservation from the Plague, in sharp Fevers, against madness, forgetfulness, distractions, Witchcrafts; it helpeth in general against all diseases, comforteth against the falling evil, and many other desperate diseases.  
And again, in the 216. page, he saith; Mirabilia operatur in Peste, quartana, hydrope▪ longis obfirmatis morbis, diuturnis putridis febribus, cachexia, melancholia, insania, delirio venenorum haustorum symptomatibus; It worketh wonderful effects against the Plague, the Quartan Ague, the dropsy, and against inveterate and confirmed diseases, and against continual, rotten, and corrupt Fevers, against the leprosy, and foul spots of the skin, against melancholy, madness, dotage, forgetfulness, and all evil qualities of poisons and venomous things: And concludeth in the 219. page, Non datur melius catharticum: A better purging Medicine cannot be given.  
I will conclude this discourse with the authority and testimony of Mylius, and Duncanus Bornetus Jatrochimia, Dun. p. 93.  
Antimonium est praestantissimum, & nunquam satis laudatum medicamentum, ad restaurationem & renovationem corporis humani, tinctura enim illa expurgat atrum sanguinem, & vitiosos quosque humores, idque cum evacuatione manifesta, & pravorum humorum correctione, hepatis obstructionibus opitulatur, hydropem discutit, icteritiam curat, laeticiam generat, leprosis sanitatem restituit, & est praestantissimus adpulmones Balsamus: estque efficax ad Luem veneream curandam, medicamentum. Maximum enim pro lepra Arcanum est, quo nihil fere in hoc morbo praestantius inveniri potest: Lienem rectificat, matricis dolorem sedat, menses movet, ejusque vigorem conservat, Morphaeam curat, Scorbuto medetur, bilem utramque expellit ex toto corpore, Calculos frangit, caput & cerebrum expurgat, epilepsiae & convulsionibus omnibus medetur: & ut brevibus dicam in deploratissimis morbis ferè omnibus summum est remdium: That is,  
Antimony is a most excellent, and never-sufficiently praised medicine: for the restauration and renovation of the body of man, the infusion or tincture thereof purgeth black blood and choler, and every corrupt humour, and that both by manifest evacuation and correction of evil humours: It helpeth against all obstructions of the Liver, and of the Spleen; disperseth the dropsy; cureth the jaundice; procureth cheerfulness and gladness of the heart; restoreth the Leprous to perfect health, and is the best preservative of the lungs: It is a perfect and effectual cure for Morbus Gallicus; and the chiefest secret against leprosy, for that nothing is found to be more excellent against that foul disease: It rectifieth the Spleen; assuageth the griefs of the Mother; procureth the monthly terms; preserveth and increaseth Nature in strength; cureth the Morphew; healeth the Scurvy; expelleth both black and yellow choler out of the body; breaketh and expelleth the stone: purgeth the head and brain; helpeth against the falling sickness, and all convulsions: and, to conclude; It is a chief and an excellent Medicine against all desperate and dangerous diseases. Thus far Duncanus.  
To the end that it may apparently, and without contradiction, be manifest to all, that these collections and testimonies grounded upon knowledge, practice and experience, and all the aforementioned medicinal virtues, are truly and really appropriate to the use and virtue of the antimonial Cup, being rightly prepared and made of the pure Essence, and Regulus of Antimony, I will conclude with the testimony of Milius and Duncanus in these words: Regulus Antimonii, est summum Auri examen ac vera omnium florum, & tincturarum medicinalium, in Antimonio existentium materia. Jatrochim. Dunc. pag. 91. The Regulus of Antimony is the best and chiefest examination of gold, it is the true matter and subject of all medicinal virtues, properties, and qualities contained within the body of Antimony.   

The second part.  
HAving plentifully Recited the Authorities and testimonies of the most famous hermetical philosophers and physicians that in foreign parts have mystically written of the wonderful and admirable Virtues of this philosophical composition, and have communicated the same for the general good of the Christian World: Now that our own Nation and countrymen may stand acquitted from the imputation of malice or ignorance, or both, as either wanting experience and knowledge of the medicinal Virtues thereof; or else wanting affection to communicate the same. (Although this truth and myself have suffered violence by the inhumanity of malicious potent adversaries:) nevertheless the only Author of these admirable Virtues, the true discerner of the hearts, who selecteth whom he pleaseth to be the fittest instruments of his Praise and Glory, hath called certain choice and principal Gentlemen of learning, experience and great worth of our own Nation and country, to bear Record and testimony upon their own particular experiments of his Sacred secret and effectual work in the rare Virtues of this wonderful and admirable Medicine: Whose testimonies I will set down in order with my humble acknowledgements and perpetual engagements for their noble favours in defence of this truth, for myself in particular, and in the behalf of all others in general that have already received (or hereafter shall receive) benefit and profit by their experimental encouragements.  
The first I will set down is the Testimony of that honourable and learned Gentleman, Sir Francis Kinnaston Knight, Esq to his majesty's Sacred Person, in these words.  

WHereas declaration hath been made of the medicinal Virtues of the magnetical or antimonial Cup by John Evans Minister and Preacher of the word of God; sithence which time many good experiments have been made thereof, as partly by our own experience, and partly by the commendable relation of our good friends and acquaintance we are sufficiently informed, and for that it is always found to be a most safe, healthful, and an excellent Medicine; and that much good hath been done by the uses, benefits, and virtues thereof, unto very many that were infirmed with desperate and dangerous Diseases: To the end that a jewel of such manifold virtues, and so necessary and profitable for the general good, especially of those that inhabit in remote places from learned physicians; and also for the benefit of the poorer sort of People, may be the more communicative, and generally known; We affirm and testify that the prepared liquour of this magnetical Cup, duly prepared, and discreetly administered according to the direction by the said Mr. Evans prescribed, hath upon much experience and trial been found to be both a safe and healthful Medicine, and also of gentle operation, and of such admirable effects and Virtues, that it justly meriteth to be both approved and commended for the general good of all men.

William Molyns Esquire.  
Roger Ellis Esquire.     
The second testimony is the experimental relation of the right worshipful Sir Thomas Middelton Knight whom I acknowledge to have been my noble Maecenas in these studies, and the only Fosterer and favourer of this famous Medicine at its first growth into any perfection into this Noble Island of great Britain.  

MAster Evans, that you may see that I am not unmindful of my Promise made unto you, touching my knowledge of the Virtues of the magnetical or antimonial Cup, I have sent these few lines unto you, not taking upon me to set forth the full and true worth and excellent Virtues of the same, lest by seeking to set them forth to the life, I should by my unskilful handling of an unaccustomed pencil, deface the same, neither can I, neither am I willing to certify the party's names that I have cured therewith, both because they are so many, and also because I will not wrong those grave and learned Doctors that had them in hand before they came to me and failed to cure them, only I will impart unto you my opinion of the magnetical or antimonial Cup, and what Cures I have done with it. The liquour of the Cup I call that, the wine in which it hath been infused, if it be duly prepared observing convenient times will work incredible cures, working either upwards or downwards according to the constitution & time it is made, & given, which is a secret▪ but of great use to them that will practise that kind of physic; It expels all noisome and superabounding humours, it strengtheneth Nature, and whether it work or work not, it never hurts (which is contrary to all other physic) for if that other material substantial feculent physic remain and lie within the body, it will endanger it. It is the most precious thing that any man can have, whether he be rich or poor, for by it a man shall preserve Health, procure Health, and prevent sickness, both to himself and Family, both old and young, and cost him but a little, the fourtieth part of a doctor's fee, the value of 6d. and if there were no other Virtues in it than hath been spoken, this were sufficient to commend it: The cures that I have done with it, are truly more than I can recall to memory; for I have not refused any (whatsoever Disease he or they were troubled or infected with) except Ulcers and running Soars, which require also the chirurgeons help as well as the physician, and often times both are necessary to make a perfect Cure. Some of those Soars have passed my hands, not many: I have cured all manner of headaches, frenzies, and Madness, the pestilential and the Spotted Fever, the Quotidian Tertian, and Intermittent Agues, the falling-sickness, the foul (or French) Disease, the Convulsions, which were thought to be witcheries, the Mother, the yellow and the black Jaundice, the Consumption that is not too far gone, given ease and prevented the Stone, given ease and prevented the Gout: I have cured divers of Impostumes, I bless God for his goodness and great mercy vouchsafed to me; I have given it to more than a thousand (since I began to practice with it) and I never heard of any that miscarried, nor of ten in all that number that I failed to cure; I have given it to men and women of fourscore years old, to sucking Children, to women with Child, and never any miscarried, but all have received benefit by it, blessed be God that gives such varieties of virtues to so slender a means; I am verily persuaded that there is no Disease that this will not cure, being rightly prepared, given, and followed, I must confess I cannot sufficiently praise it, nor give it any fit value or estimable rate, it exceeding the Gold of Ophire as much as Health doth Sickness; with this I will conclude: It purgeth and purifieth the Body from all superfluous and praeternatural Blood, phlegm, Choler, and Melancholy, and maketh the body vigorous, strong, and lusty. What I have written is not by relation from others, but from my own experience, and to give satisfaction to your desires, that have taken so much pains, both in the making of the magnetical Cup, and in setting forth the Virtues thereof most truly, yet short, in truth, of what it hath; So I conclude, and rest your well wishing friend,  
THO. MIDDELTON.   
The third testimony shall be the experimental and judicious approbation of that most Reverend, learned, and holy Divine, now resting with the Lord in fullness of Joy, Mr. Richard Naper, alias Sandy, Doctor of Divinity, philosophy, and physic: and in his life time Rector of Linford magna in the County of Buckingham; his words are these.  

MUch endeared Mr. Evans, whereas you desire to have my approbation of your magnetical Cup, I have most willingly embraced the rule of the blessed Apostle, Omnia explorate quod bonum fuerit retinete; Although I needed not by reason of my long practice and much experience, seek out the experiments of new Medicines; nevertheless I have often times made good use of that magnetical or antimonial Cup I had from you, and have found the effects and virtues thereof to be both wonderful and many, and worthy of great estimation, and to agree very well with all constitutions, and is found to be in the use very gentle, and without any violence or danger, being administered in a convenient proportion, and it purgeth the body well both by vomit and siege; the infusion may be made with Wine, Ale, Beer, or with any other convenient liquour, nevertheless an appropriate vehicle cannot otherwise than profitably further the effect; I prevaileth very well against Obstructions, against the falling-sickness, Melancholy, madness, Apoplexy, and against many other dangerous and desperate Diseases, and Maladies, which would be too long to set down particularly, and as learned writers affirm, that it is an universal Medicine; so may it also be of perpetual continuance, which I the rather conceive & do believe, for that I have often times made use of the magnetical or antimonial Cup I had from you, and its physical operations and virtues are found neither to waste fail nor diminish: And therefore I would wish you to proceed not only in your careful preparation and due composition of this excellent Medicine, but in the further discovery of other profitable good things which the Lord shall please to impart unto you, and you shall find me ever, your very loving and assured friend,  
RIC. NAPER.   
The fourth testimony that shall be produced, shall be the judgement and experimental approbation of a profound Philosopher, and an excellent physician, famous throughout all Europe for his great learning, profound judgement, elegant expression, confirmed skill, and universal knowledge, both in sacred theological Mysteries, as also in philosophical, hermetical, and chemical Speculations, his words are these.  

WHereas I was requested by Mr. John Evans, Preacher of the Word of God, to express my mind and knowledge concerning the natures and Virtues of the magnetical or antimonial Cup; These are to testify, That the liquour that hath resided in them by moderate and kindly heat of fire, doth draw unto it, and endueth the Virtues and properties thereof, insomuch that if it be drunk down fasting it purgeth as well by vomit as downward, all such offensive and preternatural humours, as are inclined to cause and engender many perilous Diseases, as tough phlegmatic humours, which cause Falling-sickness, Cachexies, and stupid Diseases, also against Fevers as well continual as intermittent, and to discharge the stomach at any time, overburdened with superfluous humours, proceeding of Surfeits or otherwise. My conclusion therefore is, That such a Cup will prove very beneficial for such as dwell in the Country, and either are far from a physician, or else being near, have not the purse to use either physician or Apothecary; and especially for that it is a perpetual Medicine whose Virtues fail not. And to testify thus much I do set to my hand,  
ROBERT. Flood, Esq; and Dr. of physic.   
In the fifth place, I will set down the Testimony of two learned Gentlemen, Dr. Vanderlasse, and Dr. Rudston, in these words.  

FOr as much as it is apparent by the testimonies and sentences of all Writers and Authors philosophical and physical; and that it is obvious to every sensible man, that things Coct, digested, and separated from their impurities are of more virtue and efficacy in all physical use, than things Crude and Feculent, as also that of Animals, vegetables, and Minerals; the Minerals bear sovereignty in physic, and knowing that by the opinion of the best Authors and their practic, that amongst Minerals, Antimony philosophically prepared, is generally preferred by all, for an excellent universal Medicine against all dangerous and pernicious diseases: It is without all question that being digested and purged from all his Impurities and Feculencies as M. John Evans Minister and Preacher of the word of God hath done, and made it into a Cup for conveniency of infusion, preparation and fit proportion of dose, by digestion of which in convenient liquour of Wine, Beer, or Cider by the moderate heat of fire, it attracteth the Virtues into any fit liquour, which being taking fasting purgeth the body from all offensive and preternatural humours▪ which are the original causes of all diseases, and the operation is both safe and gentle, and worketh by Vomit and siege, Sweat and Urine, any one of these ways, or all these ways, as nature, and the offensive humours, best requireth; and is found always to be safe and without any violence to nature, or danger to the patient; and therefore most writers of authority do affirm it to be an universal and perpetual Medicine, whose Virtues never faileth as experience hath sufficiently confirmed, and to testify thus much we have subscribed our names.

Jo: RUDSTON, Phylo: & Phy: Dr.     
The sixth testimony shall be the experimental approbation and judgement of a learned Gentleman, a high-German born: but now a perfect Englishman, in these words.  

FOr to help quickly, and to cure safe and pleasantly, all manner of diseases in men's bodies, cannot be found a more excellent medicine than the magnetical or antimonial Cup, whose virtues by long and often trial and experience by several men and nations, have been found infinite and never to decay by often and much usage or succession of time: Therefore this chemical or magnetical Cup is found very available and to cure all manner of Head-achings: against the Megrim, Vertigo, madness, frenzy, Melancholy, Falling sickness, Cramps, Convulsions, against soreness of eyes proceeding from evil vapours ascending from the stomach, evil digestion of the stomach, Surfeits, pleurisies, against the stuffing of the lungs, and shortness of wind, against all Fluxes, Jaunders, Green sickness, Dropsies, Obstructions, Gout, French pox, scurvy, Morphew, Scabs, Calenture, hot burning Fevers, and against all manner of Agues, and against the infection of the Plague, poisons or other infectious diseases being administered in the beginning; Also this everlasting chemical or magnetical Cup may right well be styled an universal Medicine or Panacea, whose Virtues never decayeth; and therefore most necessary and useful for any Gentleman dwelling in the country, living remote from expert physicians, and these magnetical or antimonial Cups are made and prepared with such Diligence, Care and Art by Mr. John Evans Minister of God's word, that they are safe to be used; In testimony hereunto I have written this with mine own hand and subscribed my name.  
Phillippus Mullerus Medicinae & Philoso. Dr.   
The seventh testimony I will produce for the confirmation of the Excellency of this magnetical Medicine shall be the experienced relation of an honourable Gentleman Francis Godolphin Esquire.  

Kind Mr. Evans, had I been at home, at Farnbies' last departure hence towards London, I should have showed myself willing to have resaluted you by my letter, having formerly received yours: be pleased now to accept the acknowledgement of my hearty thanks for your imparting unto me, the happy Cures done by your magnetical Cup, and the more perfect use of it confirmed by daily experience: And now giving God the Glory, and you many thanks for the Cures wrought by my Cup (the child of your happy Invention, I thought good to acquaint you that there came to my house a poor beggar woman of the parish of S. Paul about the age of 44. years, and at my door fell into a pitiful fit of the falling sickness and continued long in that fit: but after the fit was past, and she began to recollect her senses; by questioning with her, I found that her disease had continued on her three or four years, and that she much desired to take any thing that would ease her, and that her fits sometimes took her twice in one day, here upon I gave her the next morning white Wine ordered according to your direction, and it wrought effectually with her, and neither that day nor the day following wherein she took not the Cup had she any fit or the least symptom of it, the third day I gave it her again, but than it wrought not with her neither upwards nor downwards, but only by sweat, but sithence the first time of the taking of it, she hath not had any one fit, which is now a quarter of a year past, and now she goes to her daily labour, as she was wont to do; once of late I caused her to take it again to prevent a relapsing into the former grief, but I am confident that she is perfectly cured. Another young man aged 28 or 30 years, of mine own parish being much troubled with that grief hath by the use of your Cup (God blessing the means) perfectly recovered his wonted health: And now lately one John hecks a soldier at Pendinas Castle near Penrynne, who for three or four, or more years was taken so ill, as he had a continual hysking and stopping of his breath, & was not able to go without a staff and that to his great pain, and was by as many as daily saw him thought to be in a deep Consumption and not to be recovered by physic, entreated me to send him Wine prepared in this Cup, which I did, and he took it twice according to your direction, and within two or three days after the taking of it, recovered his health, used no more his staff, but grew to such jollity of strength as that he was able to carry and manage his Musket, and doth now serve in his arms, and do his duty as ably as any soldier in that Castle: Many other helps this Cup hath done to divers that have made use of it, I pray God to bless you in the well composing of many more such Cups, and to continue his blessings upon those you do compose, to the health of such his servants as shall make use of them; thus tendering unto you my heartiest love, thanks and well wishes, I rest your assured loving friend.  
FRANCIS GODOLPHIN.   
The eight testimony that shall be produced is a true and certain Relation of the experienced knowledge and experimental Practice of a right worshipful Gentleman captain Gunter living near Newbury in Bark shire, his words are these.  

COncerning the Virtues of the antimonial Cup made & sold to me by Mr. John Evans Minister of the word of God, I do testify that I do Experimentally know that a certain man about 30 years of age▪ (who had been grievously troubled with that disease which is commonly called the King's evil for seven or eight years, and was consumed and brought very weak and feeble by reason of the corrupt humours nourishing and feeding continually that disease) that was perfectly Cured of that sickness and disease by drinking the prepared liquour of this magnetical Cup thrice, and bathing the sore places with the Infusion, and being administered to him the fourth time (though in a greater quantity than before, it wrought not at all with him, by reason that he was throughly purged before, and by the external bathing of the sore places where they were grown up and enclosed before, they opened and there came forth much corrupt matter like rotten sinews or putrified corrupt Worms, and afterwards perfectly healed up without any other help: This Cure was perfectly accomplished from the beginning to the end in ten days. And this man continueth perfectly healed of this sore disease; it was administered to this patient in Ale, I have know this Medicine administered to more than four hundred several persons of different Constitutions, ages and sexes, troubled with several griefs and infirmities that have been brought always to perfect health, by the Virtues & benefits of this Medicine, and the Operation was always Gentle and Safe with good success: And I find it also effectual for the griefs and diseases of common Animals; for my own Gelding being exceedingly troubled with the Scratches, I washed the sores with this liquour, and there came out foul matter, and rotten dead flesh, and he was perfectly Cured with this liquour hot. In Testimony of the certain truth of what is by me related, I have subscribed my name.  
Humphrey GUNTER.   
The ninth Testimony shall be the approved Relation of a certain worthy Gentleman of Reputation and Credit, that writeth upon his own particular knowledge and practice, experienced upon himself: His own words, written with his own hand, are these.  

SIR, my infirmity was a violent wring in my Breast, somewhat above the Pit of my stomach, thence dispersing about to my Back with such anguish, as if it would have pulled Back and Breast to meet together: by continuance it threw me deep into the yellow jaundice, made me loathe all meats, and almost in despair of Cure; for I had been in a chargeable course of physic, which nevertheless gave me no longer ease than whilst it was in the working; Then I was advertised of your antimonial Cup, which my Brother Captain Lathum bought of you: and I was advised to make trial of it, which I did with so good success, that in twice taking I was eased of my pain, and restored to a kindly appetite with equal digestion; sithence that, especially towards Spring and Fall, I feel some touches of my infirmity grudging and returning, then presently I use the Cup as before: At this time I find myself in a good settled estate of Health, for which I render most humble and hearty thanks to Almighty God for his merciful goodness, and do heartily wish to you, his mediate Instrument of this Favour, a plentiful blessing upon your learned and useful Invention, resting, though unknown, your assured friend and well wisher.  
JOHN LATHUM.   
The tenth Testimony shall be the faithful Relation of Mr. Tho: Godfrey of Kent, Esquire, and of Mr. Edmund Harrison his majesty's embroiderer.  

MAster Evans, whereas you have requested our Testimony concerning the medicinal Virtues of the antimonial Cups we have received from your hands: We give you to understand that we have used our Cups against all manner of common and usual Diseases with happy and good success: We have given the liquour thereof to more than two hundreth several persons of both Sexes, from two years to fourscore: It cureth perfectly all sorts of Agues and pestilential Fevers: It hath done very much good to all that have taken it, and never any hurt at all to young nor old: It hath Cured our man of the infection of the Plague; and suppurated, cleansed, and healed the Plague Sore upon him, and prevented the infectious contagion of that sickness from many others; And to conclude; All that received it, have received much good and benefit by the use and Virtues of it, whatsoever their Diseases or Infirmities were, and none of them received any manner of harm at all by the use of it; In testimony whereof, we have subscribed our names.  


THO. GODFREY.  
EDMUND HARRISON.     
The eleventh Testimony is an experienced Relation of the Effects (M. Nicholas Benet of the white cross in Fetter lane) found to be in the magnetical Cup he bought of me.  

SIR, you have desired me to give Testimony under my hand of the medicinal Virtues I have, upon experience, found to be in your antimonial Cup, which I do most willingly, in regard of the great good I, and mine, have found by the benefit of it, and because I desire the general good of others also; it being great pity that so precious a Medicine should be kept secret, that may do so much good, with so little Cost: I have made great use of it upon myself, my wife, children and servants, I have given of the Wine or liquour prepared to many of my friends, and at their entreaty to divers other strangers; And I did never know by my own observation or experience, or hear from any other that did take it, but that they using it (and themselves, after the taking of it) as was and is prescribed; found very much good by it, let their Disease or Grief be what it would: so that I do verily believe that it doth truly deserve that title, The universal Medicine, or a Medicine for all Diseases, neither can I in Words give it the due commendation it deserveth. A Merchant in London, a friend of mine came to me and told me he had a daughter of twelve years of age, which was very much troubled with a Disease called the Scurvy, insomuch that some of her teeth were fallen out, her legs and other parts of her body were exceedingly swelled, neither did they after much physic find any amendment in her, unto whom the prepared liquour of this Cup was given twice, resting one day between; it wrought well with her, and a wonderful effect immediately followed thereupon; for within four days she was perfectly Cured: her loose teeth were all fastened; her legs and other parts of her body were restored to their natural proportion again; and she was absolutely freed from her Scurvy Disease. Another friend that had been for a long time troubled with an Ague and the Green sickness together, which was grown so faint with it, that she was not able to go; it helped perfectly at once taking. Some special properties I have observed in it, which makes me to esteem of it very much, namely the safety and gentleness of the Medicine in its operation; for it may be given to young Children without danger, as I have myself often times proved upon my own Children of three and four years of age; from whose stomachs it hath brought such foul corrupt matter, that I could not have believed them to have been troubled withal, had I not seen it; It never straineth the body with that extreme violence that other vomits do: for this worketh his effects with great facility, gentleness, and safety, and also with incredible expedition, commonly upon the first or second taking: I have seen wonderful good effects done by it, and Diseases that have been of long continuance speedily and perfectly Cured therewith.  
Your loving Friend, NICHOLAS BENET.   
The twelfth and last Testimony that shall be at this time produced shall be a Testification of the Experienced knowledge and experimental practice of a right worshipful Gentleman of great Credit and reputation, and one of singular humanity, and liberal disposition to further the Common good, Mr. John Grymesdich Esquire, written also with his own hand verbatim as followeth.  

A True Testimony of the Operations and effects of the magnetical or antimonial Cup which I bought of Mr. Evans dwelling in Gunpowder Alley, 1634. And by my wife used and practised ever since at my house in Knottingley in the county of York.  
AT my first bringing down of this Cup, having a friend of mine about 15. years of age, who had for four or five years before been fore troubled with the falling-sickness, and could not by any means of physic or otherwise be Cured: My wife made trial of this Cup, and gave to this young man the infusion thereof in white Wine; and he was perfectly Cured without ever having any one fit sithence: which I conceive to be a Cure beyond all the ordinary practice of physic, for although we used the opinion and help of divers Doctors and others professing skill in that cure, yet the Child was never the better until he had this cup. Secondly, my wife finds by continual experience, that it is a present cure for the headache, the temples of the Head being bathed with the liquour of this Cup warm. Thirdly, there was a violent Disease in the country and Town where I dwell, which to many proved mortal (a pestilent Fever or the like) but my wife hath given the infusion of this Cup in white Wine to many of her neighbours that have been sick of the same Disease, and none of them that had taken it ever perished but recovered perfectly. Fourthly, at my coming home, after Ester term, I find my wife dressing a poor Servants Foot in the Town, one of his Toes having a foul Fistula in it almost for a whole year before; and it was so corrupted, that all her Salves and Powders could do no good at all; in so much that she said, She was now out of hope to cure it, and therefore would now give him over: but I advised her first to try the liquour of the Cup, which she had not before tried in chirurgery, and upon my advice and entreaty, she did so; doing nothing at all to it, but wash it with the Infusion made with white Wine, and squirt the ten● holese with a syringe, and lay a wet cloth upon it, dipped in the same infusion, and she laid green Ivy leaves upon the cloth to keep it from drying: this practice she continued without using any other means at all; and within one month that toe which had five tents put into it at the first, and one of them quite through, was perfectly cured. Fifthly, after this, she cured a girl of two fistulas in her Elbows, which had continued for four or five years before, and had much weakened and wasted her arms: this Maid was perfectly cured only with washing and cleansing the sores, and Syringing in the liquour of this Cup warm, without applying any thing else to the Sores, having used all other common means before, but could get no help. Sixthly, another poor man came to my house with a sore hand mightily swelled, and infinitely painful to him, so that he could do no manner of labour, and his wife and children were ready to starve, or to go abroad on begging, living before only upon the poor man's labour: my wife taking pity and compassion upon the poor man, bathed his hand with hot liquour of white-Wine prepared in this Cup, a good while together about half an hour, and a wet cloth being laid upon it, the next morning it broke, and within one fortnight was perfectly cured. Seventhly, again another poor woman being strucken with a cow's horn as she was in milking, and her cheek sore wounded, was with the water of this Cup perfectly cured within one month at the most. Eightly, I have heard my Lady Jackson affirm that she having one of these Cups bought of Mr. Evans, used it to a poor woman that was brought to her, so drawn up with Convulsions, that she had the use neither of her Legs nor arms, nevertheless within short time she was perfectly cured by taking the liquour of the Cup inwardly, and bathing with it outwardly: these I do affirm as remarkable cures of my own observation, but I verily believe that a choir of Paper will not contain the cures and helps that my Wife hath performed unto, and upon poor people, and to other in the Country since she had it, with the alone prepared liquour of this Cup. I may truly affirm that there hath not been a day or night this twelve months sithence the Virtues of this Cup was known in the Country, but it hath been still near unto the fire with liquour in it both night and day, and the Strength and Virtues of it still continues without any abatement at all: Thus much I have written in my thankfulness to God for the help this young man hath received by your happy Invention, and for your better encouragement to proceed in the well compounding and making of these antimonial Cups, verily believing that the true use of it is more available for the health of men's bodies than all the Drugs in London, so I conclude and rest your assured friend.

A true Relation of one hundred Admirable Experiments and Rare Cures, performed upon several Persons, of several Constitutions, Infirmed with divers and several Infirmities and diseases, and restored to perfect health, by the alone use and medicinal Virtues thereof; faithfully collected for the confirmation of this Truth.  
A Noble Lady descended of (and married into) an honourable family, that for a long time had been dangerously afflicted with the obstructions of the Spleen, terrible fits and suffocations of the Mother, and withal deeply plunged with Melancholy: and by the judgements of many Doctors of physic, not to be recovered by physical helps, was afterwards within a short time recovered to perfect health by drinking the alone prepared infusion of this Cup, and is yet praise be to God, living in good health, and will affirm this for an approved and certain truth.  
2. In the city of London a certain Gentleman of good quality, that was far spent with a languishing and health-destroying Consumption, and after much physic taken, forsaken and left remediless by the physicians, was within a few days restored to his health, and strength, and natural vigour, by drinking the infusion of this Cup, prepared and administered in Ale.  
3. A certain young Gentlewoman living in the city of Chester, being strangely taken with violent Convulsion fits, that she could hardly by the strength of four Assistants, at the time of her extremity be kept in her bed, so that many (mistakingly) apprehended her miserable distemperature to have been occasioned through witchcraft, and to be remediless by physic, was notwithstanding, by the special blessing of God upon this Medicine, restored to temperate constitution and good health, by drinking the infusion of this Cup.  
4. A country woman mightily swelled with hydropical humours, and her legs of such incredible bigness; that by reason of the extraordinary repletion and fullness of humours continually running in such great abundance, that being brought into a fair Parlour, the moisture that ran from her legs wet the boarded floor, as if water had been there spilt in good quantity, nevertheless taking the infusion of this Cup: within four days she was perfectly cured and restored to her former health.  
5. A poor man living within twelve miles of Chyrke Castle in Denbigh-shire, that for six months, together had not after the common manner performed the duties of Nature, being sore troubled with a grievous Infirmity called Miserere or Iliaca passio: whereby the excrementitious impurities of the body were loathsomely ejected at the mouth, contrary to the natural order, was perfectly cured by drinking three or four times the prepared infusion of this Cup without any other help.  
6. A Certain Gentlewoman, that for many years had continued remediless and comfortless, extremely afflicted with violent distractions, frenzy, and madness, through the goodness of God▪ and the medicinal virtues of this Cup, by drinking the Infusion thereof, was speedily restored to health, perfect senses, memory and understanding: these six receited Experiments and rare Cures with many hundreds more, were performed by my much honoured worthy friend the Right worshipful Sir Thomas Mydelton Knight.  
7. A young Gentleman about 15 years of age that had for four or five years before, been sore troubled with the Falling sickness, and could not by any means of common physic or otherwise be Cured, was perfectly Cured, and freed from the violence of that cruel disease by drinking the Infusion of this Cup: without any other help.  
8. It is found by continual Experience; that it is a present cure for the headache, the temples of the head being bathed with the liquour of the Cup warm.  
9 At Knottingley in the County of York in the year 1636. there was a general raging and cruel sickness, a pestilential Fever, or the like, whereof very many died: the infusion of this Cup rightly prepared and administered to many several diseased persons, not any one that ever took it perished or miscarried, but recovered perfectly.  
10. In the same Town of Knottingley, avirtuous godly Gentlewoman, cured a poor servants foot, having in one of his toes a foul fistula, of a whole years' continuance wherein there was 5 holes, five tents put therein continually, and one of the holes quite through: which Fistulated sore foot could not be cured by the best skill, Salves and Powders of the common chirurgeons, was within one month perfectly cured with the alone prepared liquour of this Cup.  
11. The same right worshipful Gentlewoman, cured a young maiden of two fistulas, one in either of her elbows, which had continued four or five years before, which had much weakened and wasted her arms; she was perfectly and speedily cured, by using the alone infusion of this Cup; having used all means before, and could get no help.  
12. In the same Town a poor man came to this Gentlewoman with a sore hand mightily swelled, and infinitely painful to him, so that he could do no manner of labour: His hand being bathed with the infusion of this Cup, the next morning it broke and run abundantly, and within one fortnight, by the use of this infusion alone, his hand was perfectly cured.  
13. A certain poor woman was brought to the right honoured Lady, the Lady Jackson, so drawn up and her sinews contracted with Convulsions, that she had not the use either of Legs, Arms, Feet, or Hands, notwithstanding she was by the said Lady perfectly cured and restored to strength, health, and able use of her former benumbed limbs, by the alone infusion of this Cup.  
14. Another poor woman being struck with a cow's horn as she was in milking, and her cheek sore wounded; was, by only washing the sores with the liquour of the Cup, perfectly and speedily cured. These eight last recited experiments are certified to be approved truth, by the right worshipful M. John Grymsdych of Knottingley, Esquire.  
15. A certain man about 30 years of age, troubled for 9 years before with the Disease called the King's evil, and much consumed and weakened therewith, was perfectly cured of that Disease, by the use of the infusion of this Cup. M. Humphrey Guntur, Esquire, living near Newberry, performed this with many other very rare cures.  
16. In Wallingford, Mr. Smith's Daughter of the George, was perfectly cured of the king's-evil with the infusion thereof, although it was broken out into very many dangerous and Ulcerous sores about her neck and face. Mr. William Mollinss, Esq; who lent them his Cup wherewith they cured this patient, of that sore disease, testifieth this.  
17. In Mortelake near Richmond a Gentleman of good worth and reputation now liveth, spent very far with a long continued languishing Consumption: and at length left remediless, and forsaken by many Doctors and physicians, was afterwards perfectly recovered to good health, appetite, digestion, and healthful constitution of body, by drinking the infusion of this Cup three times, being prepared in Ale: witness hereunto M. Humphrey Benet, Esquire.  
18. In Barnet ten miles from London, a certain poor man distracted with extreme frenzy and Madness, to whom Mrs. Baker dwelling in the Town, administered in good and sufficient quantity of the liquour of this Cup, a pint (of Ale) at a time, for three times: It caused him to vomit, and to purge plentifully, and fell a bleeding at the nostrils and bled well, stayed of itself; the patient slept, and perfectly recovered, and remaineth well, praise to God.  
19 In the same Town upon a Market day, a poor Country man was strucken very deep into the leg by a raging Boar, and withdrawing his crooked tusks, rent, tore, and bruised the flesh very sore; nevertheless being dressed with the infusion of this Cup, was perfectly and speedily healed up without any other help.  
20. Also in the same Town, a certain young maiden being all over the body full of loathsome Biles, Botches, and scabbed Blains from the Crown to the foot, by taking the infusion of this Cup she was speedily cured, and her body perfectly purged and cleansed and she avoided at her mouth divers worms, whereof one was of an incredible bigness, proportion, and form: and now she is in good health and fair of complexion.  
21. Another Gentlewoman in the same Town, having many swelling or rising kernels of sanguine blue and other variable colours, as big as Nutmegs arising upon her cheek and neck: With the application and drinking of this infusion they speedily consumed and vanished away, and the Gentlewoman remaineth perfectly cured.  
22. Another woman living not far from the same Town being lame of her hands, knees, and feet, and not able to stand or go, and brought into Mrs. King's house in a chair by the strength of men, using the infusion of this Cup, within four days she was perfectly recovered so that she was able to go home to her own house on foot, being two or three miles distant off. These five last experiments were done with many more, by Mrs. King, alias Barker living in Barnet.  
23. A merchant's Daughter in London very much troubled with a Disease called the Scurvy, whereby some of her teeth were fallen out, her legs and body exceedingly swelled, and she in great extremity of pain; and finding no amendment by all the former means they had used; by taking the infusion of this Cup three times she was perfectly cured.  
24. An ancient Gentlewoman living near Fetter-lane, having for many▪ years complained of an intolerable pain of the head, fell suddenly dangerous sick and deaf, and all her face and nose mightily swelled. By external bathing the temples and other parts of her head and face grieved, an Impostume broke in her head and purged through her nostrils in such great abundance, that it was much to be admired, that so much corrupt yellow thick matter could be contained in such a continent, her body also throughly purged by the external bathing, and she is now perfectly recovered, and liveth in good health, able to justify this to be true.  
25. At Wildertop, in the County of Salop, in the house of Mr. Francis Smalman, Esquire, a young Gentlewoman being much troubled with oppilations and obstructions and suffocations of the Matrix, whereby she fell into many dangerous & desperate swooning fits, and at length grew to that weakness, that she had many signs of apparent and imminent death; upon whom the infusion of this Cup was enforced in small quantity, which wrought well and gave some hopes: and after administered twice more; recovered the said Gentlewoman to such perfect health, that within eight days she traveled safely to London.  
26. An ancient Gentlewoman, that for many years was extremely handled with such intolerable painfulness of the Gout in the joints of the backbone, in the hucklebone, and in the Knees, and Feet, that she could neither stand nor stir herself any way; nor scarcely suffer to be removed from her Bed to her Chair. By external bathing the grieved parts with (and drinking) the prepared liquour of this Cup, she was perfectly cured; and able within fourteen days to go up & down the stairs and the house, and to do any necessary business with as much agility and nimbleness as any in the same Town of her years; and hath so continued perfectly well for eight years past.  
27. In the same Town a certain young woman much troubled with inflammations of the Lungs, and with foul Impostumations full of rotten corrupt putrefactions; with drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup thrice, was perfectly recovered and restored to soundness of health.  
28. Another young woman that for a long time had been troubled with a Quartan Ague, and a species of the Fever hectic, and remaining, after much and long use of many Medicines, without help or hope; was perfectly cured by drinking three or four times the prepared liquour of this Cup. These eight last recited experiments were done by Mrs. King, alas Barker, living in Barnet ready to confirm this to be true.  
29. A certain young woman living in Leicester, very far spent with a Fever hectic, or rather a consuming Marasmos; her body so foul, and full of rotten and corrupt putrifractions, that her breath and spital was so noisome and offensive, that none would willingly endure to be in the same room with her: Was nevertheless perfectly and speedily cured, by drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, without any other help.  
30. An ancient Gentleman living in or near Leicester, for many years was extremely tormented with the Stone in the kidneys, with excoriations and exulcerations of the bladder, sharp distillations of Urine, and impostumations of the Lungs, after much physic taken without help, ease, or comfort; was perfectly and speedily cured by the alone drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup: and such great store of foul corrupt matter diuretically expelled that would not be credited, should the very truth be delivered.  
31. Another young maiden living within two miles of Leceister, much troubled with oppilations and obstructions of the Spleen, and inflammations of her Liver, her complexion utterly impaired with foul Morphew and yellowness; was perfectly and speedily restored to fair complexion and healthful constitution, by drinking three times the prepared liquour of this Cup.  
32. A certain Gentlewoman, that for many years together was taken often times with the Apoplexy, or Paraplegia, which is a sudden retention and loss of motion and speech for many hours together, whereby her health was much impaired, her stomach, appetite and digestion lost, her natural constitution heat and vigour of body impaired, having many years followed the chargeable prescriptions of professed Doctors, without help, hope, or comfort; nevertheless praised be to God was firmly and perfectly recovered by the alone use of the prepared liquour of this Cup.  
33. The Minister of great Peately in Leicester shire, being far spent with a deep health-destroying Consumption, and so much stopped with asthmatical Oppillations, Stuffings and Whiskings of the Lungs that he could not officiate his Cure, and so certainly determined for a dead man, that another procured a presentation to the same Church; having also used all the common and usual course of physic, without help or benefit, was speedily and perfectly recovered to perfect health, and sufficient ability to discharge his ministerial function, by the alone use of the prepared liquour of this Cup.  
34. In the same city and County of Leicester another man that for many years had been mnch oppressed with repletions, of corrupt humours, tough phlegm, languishing putrefactions, which wasted and consumed away his body and estate by long use of physic, was perfectly restored to health and avoided more than 40. worms of most strange, almost incredible, bigness by the alone prepared liquour of this Cup.  
35. A certain young maiden that was wholly affected to feed upon unhealthful trash, as Earth, Clay of the wall, Chalk and the like, and therewith had destroyed the good estate and Constitution of her body, and could not be withdrawn from her unhealthful and unnatural longings, was nevertheless speedily weaned from her desires, and perfectly restored to natural and kindly appetite, to due digestion, and to a healthful Constitution and fair complexion by drinking the liquour of this Cup.  
36. A certain gross fat woman, whose body was much swelled with hydropical humours, and full of impure and corrupt malignant repletions and her bones, sinews and arteries continually tormented with restless and intolerable painfulness, and having used the chargeful but unprofitable prescriptions of professed physicians, without either help or any mitigation of her intolerable painfulness: was speedily recovered to perfect health, and freed from all grossness and painfulness, by the use of this Cup.  
37. A certain Gentleman in the County of Leicester afflicted in every particular as the precedent Patient; was speedily & perfectly restored, by 3 or 4 times drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup.  
38. A certain Gentleman, living also in, or near, the City of Leicester, having been a great company keeper with Gentlemen of quality; and therefore brought to much grossness of body, inflammations and plenitude of foul hot and corrupt blood, fell suddenly into a dangerous pleurisy: and taking the liquour of this Cup, it wrought immediately and sensibly upon that side principally affected; purified and allayed the heat, and dispersed the blood; he avoided much blood by the Nostrils; and expelled by siege much clotted and corrupt blood, and other foul excrementitious impurities of the whole body; and was speedily and perfectly restored to his health with this help alone.  
39 Another Gentleman of the same County, that had been for certain years grievously infected with Morbus Gallicus, being a most foul and dangerous Disease, having many Ulcerous sores running upon several parts of his body, and many hard scirrhus Bubones, and swelling kernels in the several emunctories of his body; and his Bones, Arteries, and inward parts full of continual aches, dolours, and intolerable painfulness, and utterly forsaken as remediless by the common physicians: nevertheless by bathing the hard places and drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, he was speedily and perfectly restored to health and sound constitution of Body.  
40. A certain woman also living near the City of Leicester that had received hurt through the neglect or unskillfullness of the Midwife, at the time of her Childing, and therewith brought to much weakness and Consumption of her whole body, and notwithstanding the common course of physic, she remained a long time cureless, drinking the prepared liquour of the Cup, she was perfectly cured.  
41. Another woman that was housekeeper to a Gentleman of good estimation in the City of Leicester mightily afflicted with violent and strong Convulsions, that she was drawn or plucked together in two fold, and sometimes extorted or plucked awry towards the one side, and her face set nigh back, by the strength and extremity of this strange Convulsion; it was commonly taken for the work of Witchcraft, and after much practice of Physians she was left remediless: by external bathing and drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup she was perfectly Cured.  
42. A certain young Gentlewoman, receiving upon her breast a most violent stroke by the elbow of a passionate displeased Father, by the sudden bursting or wrongful contusion of certain veins, the natural course of the blood became stopped, and flowed in great abundance both at the Mouth, at the Nostrils, and at the ears, and so continued bleeding more or less (and at the Monthly times in greater abundance) for a whole year or more, and neither the chirurgeons blood-letting, nor the best experiments of the physicians, could any thing at all prevail or profit, to stop or remedy this continual and daily flux of blood; it much weakened the Gentlewoman, her strength and natural vigour failed, her stomach, appetite and digestion became lost, the fair Constitution and Complexion of the body was changed to a deadly paleness, the whole body to a manifest desperate hastening Consumption: when all other chargeful and costly means failed, the Lord made it his own proper work to restore this Gentlewoman to perfect health, and her whole body to natural order and good constitution, by alone drinking, (and external application) the prepared liquour of this Cup: these 14 last recited wonderful and admirable Cures were all accordingly effectually performed in Christian piety and friendly neighbourhood by my much esteemed dear friend Mr. William Palmer dwelling within two miles of the city of Leicester.  
43. A certain maiden through want of her natural monthly purgations, became extremely swelled all the body over, and had also in the right breast, neck and armpit, certain kernels and hard tumours, and all her left arm was altogether benumbed and congelated in such sort that she had not any use or strength thereof, and had also followed the prescriptions of many physicians, with the applications of many sear-clothes emplasters and unguents; but all without any benefit. By the external bathing and drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, her monthly terms came orderly and her whole body in every particular was perfectly and speedily Cured. Witness Mrs. King of Barnet.  
44. In the city of London near Algate, a certain young woman extremely taken with the dead palsy, in all the parts of her body, that she could neither stand, nor stir, nor move any one finger towards helping of herself, and so had continued for 18. months. And although no means was neglected that the practice and Experience of the Doctors and Apothecaries could prescribe, yet she was still helpless: But by bathing and drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, she was perfectly restored to her limbs, that within 14. days she came to the Church on foot without help or supportment of any, to the great admiration and wonder of all the neighbours, that knew well how she had been taken, and how recovered.  
46. A certain Gentlewoman that for eight or ten years had been continually tormented with most violent and intolerable fits of the Mother, and retention of the menstruous, accompanied also with most cruel Convulsions, and extortments of the several parts of the body, in such miserable and intolerable manner that all that saw her (as well physicians, whose costly prescriptions she fully and punctually experienced without any help, ease, or comfort, as also many others) conceived that her intolerable excruciaments and extreme violent fits were beyond the common effects of natural causes, and that they were done by witchcraft and by the malice of the devil▪ and some were wrongfully suspected to have practised witchcraft and enchantment upon the same Gentlewoman: nevertheless by drinking and bathing with the prepared liquour of this Cup, she was perfectly recovered, and her body brought to natural purgations, and healthful Constitution in every commendable respect, and so remaineth perfectly well praise be to God.  
47. Within 2▪ miles of Wallingford, an ancient man that had been for seven or eight years grievously troubled with a foul inveterated Cough of the Lungs, and much spitting of noisome corrupt matter, and so much enfeebled therewith that he was scarce able to walk about with the help of a staff, having also upon him many ulcerous sores and foul Scabs, the remains of a confirmed Morbus Gallicus, which wasted and consumed his body: By bathing and cleansing the foul sores to the bottom, and by drinking the liquour of this Cup prepared, he was perfectly Cured.  
48. In bark shire near Sherefield Court, a certain woman being taken with Congelation or sudden lameness of her whole body, and constrained thereby to keep her bed continually for two years or more without any help or remedy, although she experimented the skill of many, as well physicians as others: by drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, and bathing all the grieved parts therewith: She speedily and perfectly recovered her health, strength and agility of her congealed limbs, that within fourteen days she came on foot seven miles, to render thanks, and to acknowledge the benefit she had received.  
49. Another ancient Gentleman that for ten years found himself continually clogged with some heavy and cold oppression about the stomach; but being of strong constitution, and withal full of Law-Suits, did forbear all physical helps, till he was suddenly so ill taken, that he was constrained to take and keep his bed: And then drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, it brought up abundance of clottered bruised blood, and other foul stuff, which having stood but a little space became all a hard jelly, much like to a bruised Liver, and as thick; and the Gentleman immediately recovered perfect health.  
50. A certain man bleeding abundantly at the nostrils both night and day without any or very little intermission, for four or five days together, and could not be staunched by any means that could be used, that it was generally thought of all about him, that he would bleed to death: To whom there was administered of the prepared liquour of this Cup, a good draught; the blood immediately stayed, and although it wrought by vomits and other ways 7. or 8. times, the blood remained staunched, and the man perfectly recovered: and this is a wonderful property and operation that it should thus staunch blood, whereas in cause of Lunacy, Madness, frenzy, and the pleurisy, it is confirmed by much experience, that it openeth the Veins, and causeth to bleed abundantly, both by the Nostrils, at the mouth and ears, and downwards naturally, both by the menstrual and hemerodial Veins. These seven last recited admirable and wonderful Cures, are confirmed to be most certain and true by the right worshipful Willam Mollinss, Esquire.  
51. A certain young Gentlewoman having a Fistulated sore leg, with eight holes of great deepness therein, and much proud flesh spongy and evil coloured, mounting and swelling up in an exceeding high and deformed disproportion about the sores; out of all which eight holes came continually great store of foul thin undigested matter, as also many splints of corrupt and putrified bones came forth: This sore leg was under the hands of very many chirurgeons for three years continually, without hope of cure, and at length resolved upon to be cut off: Notwithstanding, by bathing, cleansing, syrindging and drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup; the malignant humours were purged, the body was cleansed, the bones were scarified and purified, the dead flesh consumed, and the gentlewoman's Leg perfectly healed sound, without any blemish or impediment, and as perfect and as strong as the other: This was done fourteen years past; and the Gentlewoman hath continued perfect well ever since, and is in London ready to affirm this truth.  
52. A certain merchant's daughter in London, troubled with obstructions of the Spleen, and retentions of the Menstrues, taking too much and over-violent physic, brought a continual Flux of menstruous and diuretical infirmities upon her, which continued three years, and cast the young Gentlewoman into a deep Consumption. She was perfectly cured by drinking three times the prepared liquour of this Cup, having been before two or three years in the course of physic, without any help or comfort.  
53. A certain Gentleman troubled with asthmatical Consumptions and Obstructions of the Liver, and of the Spleen, and being full of tough phlegm and other crude corrupt humours, utterly lost the use of his speech, and following the prescriptions of several Doctors, nevertheless remained dumb and speechless for three, if not four years together, without help or hope of recovery; by alone drinking the prepared liquour of my magnetical Cup, he recovered his speech and perfect health within fourteen days.  
54. In the same country a certain young married Gentlewoman, without any deservings of her own, had Morbus Gallicus, and a cruel sore canker in her mouth that had eaten away the uvula and corroded away a great hole in the palate or roof of the mouth, so that whensoever she drank, it came flowing forth at both her nostrils, and her speech was so impaired, that it was well nigh lost: nevertheless by bathing her head, gargasing and cleansing her mouth with this liquour, and drinking the same inwardly, the Disease was overcome, the malignant humour was purged, the blood and Liver purified and cleansed, the canker in the mouth was healed; and which I do admire; new flesh grew and covered all over the palate, her speech became perfect, and she was throughly cured.  
55. The same course was willingly taken by the Gentleman her husband, and in few days he was throughly purged and cleansed from that foul Disease; and they have both continued perfect well more than fourteen years past, and the Gentlewoman hath brought forth six Children sithence, of as fair complexion and perfect constitution as any be in that country; a manifest assurance of their own perfect recovery and freedom from that foul Disease.  
56. A certain Gentlewoman that was most miserably troubled with that uncomfortable and loathsome infirmity, called Illiaca passio, or Miserere mei, so that she could not for many months expel & purge downward the excrementitious impurities of the body after the natural order, but came up at her mouth; to whom the liquour of this Cup was administered twice without any observable benefit; but at the third time there was given to her a full pint of prepared Ale; and than the Gentlewoman sensibly perceived her bowels as it were to unroll and unbind within her, as though, before, they had been either twisted about, or cast upon some knot; whereupon she purged plentifully; and with once more drinking of this prepared liquour, she perfectly recovered her former health, and natural order and constitution of her body, and hath so remained ever since.  
57 A certain young man extremely tormented with most strange and violent Convulsion fits, that the physicians not knowing how to remedy the same, gave him over for a bewitched creature, whose cruel tormenting fits they ascribed to the malice of the devil, and to witches, his wicked Agents; was nevertheless perfectly cured of his strong and violent fits, by alone drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup. These five last recited wonderful and rare Cures were performed in Christian and Godly charity, by Mr. Chancy a Reverend and Learned Divine, a Godly Religious painful Preacher.  
58. The Right honourable, the Countess of Leicester, administered the prepared liquour of this Cup with safety and good success to an Infant of three months old (the like hath been done to many sucking Infants and tender children) against the small Pox, the Purples, and spotted Fever; and never any one miscarried, but recovered perfectly of every one of these Diseases.  
59 A certain Gentlewoman being somewhat troubled with the Strangury, and painful sharp Distillations (and often times long retention of Urine) took physic from an ignorant and wicked Imposturer, that gave her poisonful pills of ill prepared Mercury sublimate, whereby her body was much swelled, her teeth fell to be loose and some fell out, all her bowels and internal parts were cruelly tormented with excrutiations and burning inflammations; To whom the liquour of this Cup was speedily administered; it wrought upon her gently fourteen days; expelled the poison, purged the malignities and evil symptoms occasioned by the poison received, and perfectly recovered the Gentlewoman, who is very well, and ready to affirm this truth.  
60. A certain ancient Gentleman prisoner in the Kings Bench. that for many years together had been grievously troubled with an inveterate cough, asthmatical stoppings of the Lungs, and a continual P●isick, tough phlegm, and other foul putrifactive humours; was speedily and perfectly cured and freed from all the recited evil affects, by three times drinking the prepared liquour of this my magnetical Cup, without any other help. These two last recited experiments were performed by Mr. Francis Taylor, who then was Prisoner in the Kings Bench.  
61. An ancient Gentlewoman that for three years together was continually troubled with a great Flux of the Menstrues, and also of the whites in great abundance; was by drinking the prepared liquour of this magnetical Cup (and another secret manner of application) speedily and perfectly cured.  
62. Another ancient Gentlewoman that had for a long time languished with the Fever hectic and yellow Jaundice, and other infirmities, which might (indeed) be esteemed incurable in one of her years, and was forsaken of the Doctors of physic, and esteemed of her neighbours, and of her own husband, to be irrecoverable; who therefore made then preparation for her funeral: nevertheless taking but thrice only the prepared liquour of this Cup, she was perfectly recovered to health, this was eight years past, and the Gentlewoman liveth not far from Bowlane in London, ready to confirm this approved truth.  
63. Another woman aged 66. or thereabouts, being far gone with the black Jaudice and deep Consumption, and also at the same time taken with a most violent spotted Fever, and in the judgement of all her neighbours esteemed to be past all hope of life, and also forsaken of the physicians, nevertheless by drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, she was recovered, and is yet living in perfect health, this was also six years past.  
64 In the same house a young Gentlewoman that was much troubled with the yellow jaundice, Obstructions both of the Spleen, and also of the Lungs; was perfectly cured by three times drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup. These four last Experiments, were Experimentally approved by Mrs. Goffe dwelling near the Church in Trinity-lane in London.  
65. A certain Gentlewoman, having for many years continued languishing in a deep Consumption, was mightily swelled with hydropical humours and notwithstanding the best helps of the physicians esteemed incurable (as all in such an estate are falsely deemed to be) and so left remedies, was nevertheless speedily restored to perfect health, all the hydropical corrupt humours quite purged away, and her liver rectified, good appetite, and a kindly digestion regained, and the natural vigour and strength of the whole body effectually restored, by drinking 3. or 4. times the prepared liquour of this Cup, without any other help.  
66. Moreover in the city of Worcester a certain corpulent Gentleman much given to the company of great drinkers was suddenly caught with a dangerous surfeit, and dead palsy, lameness of all the left side; and this Gentleman for many years before had been much tormented with the painfulness of the Gout, this surfeit brought also upon him a fierce and a violent burning Fever: this Gentleman used the best helps of the physicians, but all in vain: notwithstanding by drinking the prepared liquour of my magnetical Cup: and by bathing the head, back, sides and all the parts troubled with lameness and painfulness of the Gout, he was recovered to perfect health and Strength of the whole body. These two last recited experiments with many hundredth more for Agues, Green sickness, Obstructions, and the like, were performed by my worthy friend Mr. Walter child, Esquire.  
67. A certain woman that for 7. or 8. years together had continual suppression of the Menstrues and a very sore Fistula or dangerous ulcer upon her leg, having many sore orifices where from continually came forth much corrupt matter, and her body was also much swelled with hydropical humours, with drinking inwardly the prepared liquour of this Cup, and cleansing the ulcerous sores therewith, the monthly courses broke down kindly upon her, and purged well, all the swelling was abated, the Ulcerous or Fistulated leg was perfectly healed: witness Mrs. Alliston.  
68 A certain poor man a bricklayer, living about Bedford, being exceedingly swelled with corrupt and hydropical humours, and brought to exceeding weakness by a long languishing Consumption, who after much practice made by common physicians, was left remediless and incurable; notwithstanding by the blessings of God, drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, he was perfectly restored to health.

This is testified by Mr. John Lathum, Esquire to be an approved truth.  
70. A certain woman having her natural purgations stayed upon her for many years, and through the suppression of them and the malignities of sharp and corrupt humours, had a most grievous Ulcerated sore breast, mightily swelled and intolerably painful, having therein eight holes, wherein eight tents of great length were put in at times of dressing, and much foul corrupt matter issued therefrom continually; in began to mortify, and to look black and dangerous; and the common chirurgeons advised the woman to have that Breast cut off, for other cure thereof they knew none: nevertheless by syrindging and cleansing the Ulcerous sores to the bottom without Tents, and by drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, and applying externally hot wet clothes to the sore Breast, the swelling abated, the corrupt matter expurged, and the woman was speedily and perfectly healed.  
71. A certain Gentleman of great credit and employment, for 2. or 3. years was most miserably distracted, and deeply plunged with desperate Melancholy, and had been under the hands of many professed Doctors of physic without help or remedy, was perfectly restored to his memory, understanding, and perfect health, by drinking the alone prepared liquour of this Cup: And hath continued for many years since comfortable in mind, healthful in body, and every way able sufficiently with reputation and credit to discharge an office of great employment and trust  
72. A certain poor Ship carpenter having for a long time been grievously handled with a quartan Ague, and after with a most violent burning Fever, and cast at last into a deep Consumption, having spent all his whole estate upon physicians, and by them left remediless, and helpless; was by drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, perfectly and speedily restored to perfect health, and strength to labour in his calling.  
73. A certain young Gentlewoman being for many years very much troubled with Cachexia, being an evil disposition of the whole body and stomach, Green-sickness, Obstructions of the Spleen and Liver, and with continual vomitings, that commonly whatsoever she did eat or drink came up again immediately; she was also troubled with many foul and noisome worms, and had taken very much physic without any benefit or help: nevertheless by drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, she was perfectly cured, her stomach was throughly cleansed, her complexion became fair, her blood fresh and fluent, many noisome foul worms of an incredible bigness were expelled, her natural purgations were restored, and natural strength and vigour flourished to full perfection.

75. A certain Sea Captain at his return was very sore troubled with the Scorbuto and swelling of the body, but most specially of the legs and feet, and also with great swelling and painfulness in one of his shoulders, his stomach to meat was gone, and his sleep departed from him: but taking the liquour of this Cup inwardly and bathing the parts afflicted outwardly, he was speedily restored to perfect health.  
76. A certain Gentlewoman that for many years together was troubled with Vertigo, giddiness and swimming of the head, dizziness and darkness of her sight, and with swooning fits, all which proceeded from noisome vapours arising from her stomach; and had taken much and costly physic, without benefit or help: By drinking this prepared liquour, she was speedily and perfectly cured. These seven last recited rare and wonderful experiments were performed by Mrs. Elizabeth Ray, wife to Captain John Ray, Esquire.  
77. A certain right honourable Lord, that for many years had been very much troubled with swellings and hydropical humours, and was fallen very deep into a languishing Consumption, and having followed for divers years the prescription of the physicians, without any help or hope; Was perfectly and speedily restored to health, by drinking the alone prepared liquour of this Cup.  
78. In Wolverhampton, in the County of Stafford, a certain Gentleman was most extremely taken, and troubled with the dead palsy, which had taken away the strength and motion of the one side of his body wholly, and also of both the hands and feet, so that he was not able to stir out of his bed, or being there, to move or stir either hand or foot: was speedily restored to perfect health, strength, and ability of body, to walk and write, by drinking the alone prepared liquour of this magnetical Cup, and bathing therewith.  
79. In the same Town of Wolverhampton, a certain Gentleman having been for a long time much troubled with the Fever hectic, and much stopped and stuffed with tough phlegm, his stomach to meat and digestion quite lost, and having taken much physic without any benefit or help, and forsaken and left cureless: By drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, he was speedily restored to perfect health.  
80. Another man living in the same Town of Wolverhampton, that had been above twenty years very much troubled with a deadly quartan Fever, and could never get any prevalent help to free him from the violence thereof: By drinking three times the prepared liquour of this Cup he was perfectly cured. This was eight years past and he remaineth ever since in perfect health.  
81. A poor maiden living in the same Town, the Daughter of a poor Widow, having lost the benefit of her sight, occasioned by overmuch coldness of the brain, and much buffeting and beating about the head, but principally caused by long retention of the Menstruous (howsoever caused) she was esteemed to be sightless & remediless: nevertheless, by drinking the prepared liquour of the Cup, and drooping some into the eyes, and bathing the temples, her natural terms broke down kindly, her head and brain received warmness, and in less than fourteen days she recovered both her health and perfect sight.  
82. Another Gentleman that from his Childhood had much complained of dimness and weakness of his sight, especially at any remote distance, and hardly able to endure the light of a candle, and continually had such a shuting and pricking in his eyes, as though sticks had been rolled in them: By drinking three or four times the prepared liquour of this Cup, and dropping in his eyes some, allayed with fountain water; it hath so cleared and strengthened the sight that this Gentleman being fifty two years of age, can now read and write by candlelight, without any glasses for six or twelve hours together, without any trouble or wrong to his sight, which he could not do at any time before.  
83. In Tressul a Parish in Statfordshire, a certain man having throughly heated himself with hay-making, and lying down upon the ground, caught a most dangerous cold and cough of the lungs, which continued upon him even to a deep asthmatical Consumption, so that as well physicians as others, esteemed him to be incurable: nevertheless by drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, he was speedily and perfectly cured.  
84. In Walsall in the same County one William Day was so far spent with a languishing Consumption, and had taken very much physic without help or any benefit, and esteemed to be utterly incurable; By drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, he was speedily and perfectly cured. These eight last recited experiments, and, as it is affirmed, 800. more of several Diseases, were performed by one Benedict Laurence, dwelling in Wolverhampton.  
85. In the same County, and near unto Wolverhampton, another Gentleman was in a desperate Consumption, and extremely swelled with hydropical humours, that no apparel could be had big enough for him, and his miserable swellings and painfulness so great, and such, that himself and his friends heartily wished his life to be at an end: nevertheless by drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, he was perfectly and speedily cured.  
86. Mr. Thomas Godfrey of Seeling in the County of Kent, Esq finding his man coming from London in the time of Plague, to have fallen sick very suddenly, suspected that he might be infected with the Pestilence, and therefore speedily prepared the Cup, and caused his man and himself, and every one of his Family with all possible expedition, to drink good quantities of the prepared liquour; and it wrought effectually upon every one of them, and not any one of his household miscarried. His man had a great tumour in his Groin, which by bathing was brought to suppuration, and broke, and was cleansed with the prepared liquour, and thereby was perfectly healed. Thus by his careful and heedful prevention, the said Mr. Godfrey preserved himself and all his Family from the contagious Infections of the Plague: This Gentleman hath cured also very many Kentish Agues; and above 100 several persons infirmed with several infirmities and Diseases, with the alone liquour of the Cup.  
87. The Lady Middleton of Burshby Hill in Hartfordshire, having the same accident as the last recited, befallen to her Coachman, coming from London in the time of greatest infection, with all expedition gave to him to drink the prepared liquour of the Cup, and also to herself and to every particular person of her Family; it wrought well upon every one, by vomits and otherwise, cured the Coachman of the Plague sore, and prevented the infection from the rest. These I do publish to excite all to glorify God for his merciful goodness, and to stir them to the like Christian and Godly care and useful practice, for the better prevention of all such dangerous Diseases.  
88 A certain Country man being a Warrener, having in charge to walk about his ground betwixt one and two in the morning, finding himself addicted to sleep, having spent the former part of the night in unmeasurable drinking, laid himself down upon the ground and slept, afterwards rousing himself up, found his limbs mightily stiffened and benumbed; nevertheless got home to his house being near, and threw himself on his back in all his clothes upon his Bed, where he continued five weeks in that very same posture, not being able to suffer himself any way to be holpen, for the ease of natural necessity; at which time I was come into the Country and earnestly requested to visit him: he was the most miserable spectacle, and the most foulsome to come near unto, that ever I saw in all my life: nevertheless, with bathing his benumbed arms, thighs, legs, and feet, with (and by drinking) the prepared liquour of this Cup, recovered his feet, and after, his perfect health. Mr. Thomas Brooks, Esquire, and Mr. John Dickons, with many others do know this to be a certain truth.  
89. A certain young woman of a fair and healthful constitution, undertaking the nourishing of two strong children, the monthly purgations became stopped, and stayed for six months; and in the seventh month clear blood ran forth abundantly at both her breasts, to the great amazement and astonishment of the woman herself, and of many others. There was speedily applied to both her breasts, soft folded clothes, well soaked in the hot prepared liquour of this magnetical Cup▪ And likewise the prepared, liquour with two or three spoonfuls of the Sirup of Mugwort, was given to this woman to drink two or three times; and the Menstrues came in order, and purged naturally; and in eight days the woman became to be perfect well, and her breast milk became fair and healthful; and neither she nor her Nursing children had any manner of harm at all.  
90. A certain woman that for many years had been extremely troubled with Obstructions and Oppilations of the Spleen, and such asthmatical stuffings, that she could hardly draw her breath, and had also a foul Impostumation in the Lungs; she had spent all her state upon physicians and physic, without any help or comfort: nevertheless she was perfectly cured by drinking the prepared liquour of this magnetical Cup. These two last recited admirable experiments were done, with many more, by the Right worshipful Mrs. Abigail Smalman of Wildertop, in the County of Salop.  
91. In Warwick an ancient Gentleman liveth, that hath been for many years much troubled with the dead palsy, both in his hands, knees, and feet, so that at certain times he had no use of either; and for five years▪ for his help and remedy, he resorted to the bath, to his great charges and painful travel: and although he recovered some help at the present times, and for sometimes after; nevertheless his former palsy returned again at the accustomed times, and so he remained without any constant help: nevertheless by bathing and drinking of the prepared liquour of this Cup. This Gentleman is absolutely and perfectly cured. Mrs. Roe of Warwick knoweth this to be true.  
92. A certain Gentlewoman falling upon her back and shoulders upon a pair of stairs, her left shoulder and arm swelled very much, and grew to be exceeding painful; they feared much the dislocation of the shoulder bone; but being resolved otherwise, the shoulder and all the arm was bathed with the hot prepared liquour of the Cup; the swelling brake in the small of the arm, and much contused blood and quitture came forth; and by this only help, it was perfectly healed.  
93. A certain Gentlewoman having a little Wart under the left Eye, on the bottom of the nether lid, being accidentally rubbed off, grew to a sore; for the cure whereof she made use of several chirurgeons, but in vain; for the sore grew to be worse and worse; yea, to such excrescens of proud flesh, as exceeded an inch in thickness, and her face swelled very much, and continued very hard, and the sight of her eye was quite lost for the time; and in this exteamity she was left, and judged to be incurable, and thought it would be the cause of her speedy death: nevertheless, by bathing with, and drinking the prepared liquour of this Cup, the swelling became abated, the proud flesh became mortified and fell off, in such sort, that being rooted where the sore was foulest, it left a hole under her eye, an inch deep; the sound flesh became soft, her face well coloured, and her sight was perfectly regained; and with washing the sore and applying wet clothes unto the orifice of the sore, without any tenting, it filled up with good and sound flesh, and she is hereby perfectly cured. Mr. Lemuell Allen, a Minister, performed this rare cure.  
94. A certain Gentleman extremely taken with a Quartan Ague, which continued upon him 18. Months, and although he spared no cost upon physic and physicians, yet remained he still cureless and helpless; the long continuance and violence of this Fever cast him into a deep Consumption, his stomach and Appetite to meat was quite lost; his strength and natural vigour failed, so that for many weeks together he could take no manner of sustenance, but only a little weak cullis given him by a spoonful or two at a time: He was in this extremity admonished to take some of the liquour of my Cup, aromatised with comfortable things to please his palate; which he did once, and it wrought gently by vomit; he took the common and plain prepared liquour of the Cup twice more, and perfectly recovered his health. Mr. Hunnyman one of his majesty's servants knoweth and justifieth this to be true.  
95. A certain ancient man, 84 years of age, became all the body over to be full of dry crusty scabs, which would commonly scale and rub off for a certain season, but would come again: at length they came all his body over dry and hard like the bark of a tree: In this perplexity, his age and noisomeness considered, his wife and friends were put to many experiments, but none profited him any thing at all, until they bathed all his body over with the hot liquour of this Cup, and administered the same inwardly; and by this practice within a few days this old man, being throughly purged and bathed with this hot liquour prepared, his hard crusty scabbedness scaled off, and his flesh and skin was restored and renewed both white and clear like a young man's: This I saw done, and do publish for an experimented truth.  
95. A certain woman that lived by her painful labour, by some accidental distemperature fell to be most grievevously afflicted with often and terrible fits of the Falling-sickness, whereby her health was impaired, and that cruel sickness continuing upon her many years, brought her to extreme poverty, to whom the liquour of this Cup prepared, was 3 times administered, and she was perfectly cured.  
97. A certain young man also tormented with the same cruel disease to whom the prepared liquour of my Cup being in good quantities, three times administered, he was thereby perfectly cured: There hath been cured of the Falling-sickness by the alone drinking of the prepared liquour of my magnetical Cup in several parts of the kingdom, whereof I have been informed, more than 200. persons  
98. A certain Gentleman in Cornwall, having been for many years much troubled with the tough phlegm and stoppings, and asthmatical oppilations and obstructions of the Lungs, and thereby brought to a languishing Consumption, that he could hardly walk with a staff, to whom the prepared liquour of my Cup was administered three times, and thereby was speedily restored to perfect health; this Gentleman I have seen since healthful and well in this city of London: These three last recited experiments were performed by my truly honoured worthy friend, the right worshipful Mr. Francis Godolphin, Esquire.  
99 A certain Gentleman having unlawfully and unfortunately accompanied with an unhealthful and corrupt creature, had his secret parts mightily swelled and exulcerated, so that his Urine came from him with intolerable scorching and burning, and also issued forth at six several places, not one of them being the proper and natural passage; for that was quite stopped up: the Gentleman being in this perplexed and well deserved misery; was nevertheless perfectly cured and healed of all these foul scorchings, swellings, and ulcerated holes, and all the painfulness mitigated and assuaged by washing, cleansing, syrindging with (and drinking) the prepared liquour of this magnetical Cup; and by this practice, he was fully purged from the contagious infection of that foul Disease, and was restored unto perfect health, and the natural passage was cleansed and opened, and became serviceable and officious to nature as before. This rare and admirable cure, although of a foul Disease, I publish and testify for an approved and an experimented truth.  
100 A certain Gentleman, an especial good friend of mine, being of a strong corpulent constitution, having many Suits of great importance depending in Law, for many years continuance, although the state of his body required some help for natural purifying of the blood and evacuation of foul corrupt humours, yet could not this Gentleman take any fit opportunity for that purpose; at length he was suddenly cast down, and constrained to take knowledge of nature's complaint, & thereupon took a good draught of the prepared liquour of my magnetical Cup; it wrought all that day and all the night following, without any offence or violence, and gave him many vomits, and eight or ten sieges; the second time it was taken in a greater proportion, and it wrought three or four days together, and expurged away abundance of foul and corrupt matter: and the vomits standing three or four hours after the operation, grew all to be of one entire consistence of Jelly, like a great firm Liver with various streaks of rotten blood, and other corrupt matter, that had for more than ten years before oppressed this gentleman's body; and certainly unless by this, or some other good help, this had been removed, the Gentleman could not have lived but a short time Mr. William Mollinss, Esquire will affirm this to be an approved truth.  
101. A certain loving friend of mine finding his stomach to be over charged with foul gross and corrupt humours, and his stomach and appetite unto meat quite gone, his digestion weak, his whole body growing more faint, and his spirits more dull and less cheerful than accustomed, having one of my magnetical Cups, prepared therewith a pint of hy-country White-wine according to the directions by me prescribed, and drank the quantity by me prescribed, it wrought well and gave 6. or 8. vomits, and so many sieges: this Gentleman being willing to make a further Experiment than was prescribed, and finding this former operation to be most gentle and easy, takes of the best sweet high-country White-wine 3. pints or 2. quarts boiles all to a pint or thereabouts, and drank it up all at one potion, it wrought with him continually night and day with easy vomits and gentle sieges for 14. days together, sometimes 30. or 40. sieges with some gentle vomits betwixt, in the space of 24. hours: This Gentleman sent unto me to have it stayed: I advised him that he would patiently permit nature to have her full course, for I observed that neither the vomits, neither the sieges did any way violently constrain the body, neither brought any thing away but digested corruptions, that the body was surcharged withal, and could better be spared and expurged than healthfully kept, and that withal, his appetite to meat and stomach amended upon it, during the physical operations, and that I knew upon former Experience, that it would cease when the obnoxious humours were expurged. And afterwards when the Operations ceased, this Gentleman grew to be exceedingly hungry, and to have a good stomach with good digestion, and recovered perfect health. And within a few days after my friend took it again, but it wrought not at all with him, for when it had purged the body & found no corrupt humours to work upon, it passed through the body in Urine without any other apparent operation; I would not advise any to follow this adventurous practice (although I have known many that have done the like with good success) forasmuch as all constitutions are not alike, and that the safest way is to practise according to the most common approved and Experimentally prescribed Orders and Rules.   

The Manner and Order how to make use of my magnetical or antimonial Cup.  
TAke a well glazed earthen pot or Pipkin with a fit cover, than put this Cup therein, and pour within and round about it as much White-wine, Claret wine, Muskadine, or malmsey if it may be gotten for it is best of all, or else Ale or Beer, a sufficient quantity to fill and plentifully to cover, and to be above the Cup, an Inch or two or more, that it may stand in full infusion; then set the Pipkin upon or by a gentle fire, and let it boil gently for two hours, and afterwards remain in the same order covered in a temperate digesting heat, such as you might endure your finger in, the residue and remainder of 12 hours from the time you began; yet admonishing you to spare the curiosity of some that sit up to attend the same all night; place it near the hot hearth, where fire hath been kept all day, & it is sufficient, for a small heat will serve to keep it in good digestion; being thus used before & standing covered, than one hour or two before you do take it, or administer it to another, remove it from the fire, and set it to cool if need be, not taking off the cover whereby the spirits might evaporate away; Afterwards a cupful or more taken fasting cold, purgeth the body from whatsoever is offensive to Nature, the operation is safe and gentle, and without any violence or danger, as hath been oftentimes proved: Let them about four, or five hours after sleep, if their Constitution require it, and then use or take any convenient diet, or what they are commonly accustomed unto, and govern themselves as after other physic. By the quantity and proportion of Wine or Ale, allowing a pint of Wine, or a quart of Ale to be prepared for two, you may prepare for as many as you please at one time; and here note, that the greater the quantity of liquour, and the weaker it is, the more heat of fire and the longer time of digestion and preparation it requireth: You my also keep of this prepared liquour in close glasses or earthen bottles a fortnight or a month, and send it, or carry it where, and to what distant place you will, for it loseth not his Virtue: one cupful is an ordinary and common Dose for Children, Women, and for other weak and delicate persons: nevertheless, it worketh best in strong constitutions, when two or three Cupfulls are taken and drunk out of a black pot or glass, and not so effectual out of silver: You may begin with one cupful, and so increase the Dose and quantity of Potion as you find cause; for herein discretion and experience must be your guide. For the manner of the operation, it is somewhat difficult and doubtful to foreknow and presage; for it operateth according as it is most convenient for the present estate and constitution of the body: Sometimes, and in some constitutions, it operateth by Vomit alone; in some others, by siege alone; in others by Urine and Sweat; but most commonly it worketh all these ways, and ever without any violence or danger. To prescribe a time for the use of this Medicine, is needless; it may be safely taken any time of the year, even in the time of the extremest heat of Summer, or coldest of Winter; nevertheless, the Spring and fall are most convenient for all physical operations. To prevent sickness or when any convenient occasion is offered, it should be taken three times, leaving a day or two between, and every time take more than the former: but for confirmed Diseases it should be taken three times in the week, if occasions permit, as long as it will work; for when it hath cleansed and purified the body from all impurities and corrupt humours, it worketh no more; and than you may be sure the Patient is perfect well; and this is a noble quality of this Medicine. I have known it administered twenty nine times to a Gentlewoman that had the falling-sickness of nine years' continuance, leaving intermedian days 1, 2, or 3. betwixt, as occasion required, and the thirtieth time it wrought not at all, although administered in a greater quantity; and than it was apparent that her whole body was cleansed, and she perfectly cured, and delivered from the violence of that miserable Disease: For it is most certain, that so long as there is any preternatural humours, or offensive malignant matter, remaining within the body, it will work. I have known it in some constitutions, and also against some foul and dangerous Diseases, upon thrice taking, to have wrought three or four days after by siege, yea sometimes with purging and sweating to the 12, 13, or 15. day after the taking thereof, and always proved to be without any harm, violence, or danger. And some being timorous, have requested to have it stayed; but I ever advised the contrary, and desired them to permit nature to have her course, and to perfect her intended work, for this Medicine is not to be feared, and will eject nothing but that which well may, and aught to be spared (whatsoever malicious adversaries to experienced truth say to the contrary.) Against the pains of the Gout, or any other pain, ache, tumour, or swelling, make the Infusion strong with White wine, and bathe the grieved places half an hour long, as hot as the Patient may endure it, the night before you take it inwardly: And by alone bathing the Temples of the Head, the Legs, and the Feet, it taketh away all manner of inveterated pains of the Head, and purgeth the Body also, although you take it not inwardly at all: and this is an approved truth. For swellings, wounds, fistulas, and ulcerous sores, wash them well with the hot infusion made with White wine, and syringe in the liquour into the bottom, and cleanse the sores well, apply wet clothes three or four fouled hot, to the sore orifices: take care you do not Tent, neither bind too hard. And by using this means, you may perfectly cure any Disease or Infirmity that may be cured by any other Means, Skill, or Art.  
Beware of Counterfeit, pernicious, Dangerous, and Violent Cups: Howsoever use them not according to my directions; and if you do, and receive harm or miscarry, blame your own wilfulness and let your blood be required at their hands that have abused you: this my Premonition shall plead my Innocency before the Lord.
