LONDON, Printed by I. M. for Awnsham Churchill at the Black Swan near Amen Corner. 1682.   

To the Honourable Lady Madam Frances Jenynes of St. Alban in the County of Hartford, Health and Happiness.  
Honoured Madam,  
THose many Favours that I have received by your generous Approbation of my unmeriting Endeavours were too considerable to be passed by without my remembrance, or immerged in the Gulf of Oblivion without my acknowledgement with thanks for the same; yet upon a review of what is done, methinks it appears so slender a piece of service, that I do indeed question your Acceptance. Yet I have ventured to present to your ladyship's Patronage these few sheets as a digression from my other Studies, and the Earnest of what I acknowledge myself in Arrears for your former Favours. Be pleased therefore, I beseech you, to accept my service, and pardon my presumption. The thing itself is really Foreign, only dressed in an English Garb, but I fear not so fashionable as this captious Age may expect. However we are all bound by Nature to be Civil to Strangers: And seeing this is so, I presume to put it under your Protection, your Name being sufficient, but especially your verbal Commendation to give it a better Reception and Esteem among all Persons of Honour and Eminence, than he that is  
YOUR LADYSHIP'S Humblest Servant, I. Partridge.   

TO THE READER.  
Friendly Reader,  
I Here present thee with a Treatise in our own Language, that is, plain English, which I assure you is one of the best Pieces of its kind, and will, I question not, be serviceable to all those who understand not the Latin, and yet are willing to be acquainted with the Mystery of Physic; and therefore to omit all other Prolegomena's, I come to speak something to the Book in general and particular.  
The Book is generally Chemical, and turned into as good English as the matter (without too much swelling the Book with impertinent words) would bear; and therefore for thy convenience and satisfaction I have added an Explanatory Table, to give the meaning of those words, which perhaps may not seem plain to every Reader, as Dysentery, Haemorrhage, Narcotick, Sudorisick, etc. But yet there are three or four words, which I do confess remain doubtful to me what English to give them; and therefore I have put them in the English, as I found them in the Latin, that those who pretend to be Learned, may give their own sense of them. And the first is Sem. Cinae, mentioned in the Powder called Species Diamercurii, and in the Water called Aqua contra Vermes. The second is Antiphyllorum, mentioned in the Powder called Species Diajovis, and in the Marmelada Hysterica. The third is Boletus Cervinus, mentioned in the Species Diaveneris, Confectio Satyrii, Confectio Pacifica, and divers other Medicines: so that did I not think it a piece of modesty or honesty to translate them into such words as my judgement thought most congruous, there being no Authority for it but Opinion, and in so doing I should have abused both Reader and Author; and therefore I fairly expose them to every Reader that either is, or thinks himself able to give the true meaning of them.  
Fourthly, In that Medicine called Morsuli Martiales, the Author hath prescribed half an ounce of Oil of Cinnamon, which I judge should be but half a dram; for half an ounce of that Oil will cost of itself about forty shillings or three pound, and so make the Medicine too chargeable for common use: Hence I conclude it a mistake of the Printer, putting half an ounce for half a dram; yet I have in the English followed the Latin Prescript.  
Fifthly, The Species Confectio Anacardinae being the first Ingredient mentioned in the Composition of the Water called Aqua Xyloaloe, is a Composition of itself, and may be found in the Dispensatory of Valerius Cordus, pag. 83.  
Sixthly, In several places of this Book the Author commands things to be duly gathered, as Peony in the Aqua Epileptica, in the Spiritus Vini Cephalicus, in the Elixir Poeoniae, and other places; there is no more designed by that, but to gather them Astrologically, in the hour of that Planet governing the same, the Planet at the same time being strong, also Angular, and every way fortified if possible.  
Thou hast three several Tables; The first, of the Sections, in which thou mayst see the general Heads and Matter of the whole Book: The second, of all the distinct Medicines Alphabetically set down under the Letter beginning the first word of the Medicine, as Oleum Balsami under O, and Sal Apoplecticum under S, and so of the rest. The third Table shows the Diseases that the Medicines in this Book cure, and for the Printers ease and the Readers convenience, they are brought under as few Heads as may be: For instance sake thus, Burning Fever, Intermitting Fever and Hungarian Fever, and others of that denomination, are all brought under the word Fever. Likewise Wind in the Stomach, weakness of the Stomach, Diseases of the Stomach, etc. are all brought under the word Stomach, and so are Diseases of the Matrix brought under the word Womb, and so of the rest, which thou wilt no sooner see but understand them.  
Lastly, I recommend it to thy Perusal, not desiring thy Commendation of it beyond its Merit, nor expecting thee so disingenuous, as to condemn it without a cause; but wishing thy impartial Opinion, as if the Author hereof were thy real friend. But what need I say more to this purpose; for Books have their Horoscopes as well as Men, and therefore by consequence, Fate too. 
Habent sua Fata Libelli.  
Fate is not bound to Man, to Prince or State;  
But Books have also their peculiar Fate.  And this Fate of Books is wrapped up in the Opinion and judgement of every Reader; for according as he understands, so he reports, and according to his Credit, so he is believed in the World; and therefore hard is the Fate of Authors, if thus to be dealt with. But I leave it with thee, hoping that my pains may be thy profit and advantage, which if it be, and that thou art satisfied with my well wishes and endeavours, 'tis all that is either desired or expected  
By thy Friend J. Partridge.

In the Praise of his very worthy Friend Mr. john Partridge upon his Translation of Adrian Mynsicht, etc.  

HAil gentle Muses of Parnassus' hill,  
Inspire my Genius by your glorious skill,  
To speak the praises of this worthy Piece  
Transcendently excelling Jason's golden Fleece.  
He! for his lucre and his envy too  
The Trojan's Treasure got, but this not so:  
This the Commune Bonum may be said,  
The best Translation that our Wits have made.  
Each joynt's unstirred, each knot so well untied,  
That nothing can be exquisite beside.  
Long hath bright Adrian eclipsed been;  
But now there's no defect that can be seen:  
Long hath his Treasure been obscure and hid;  
But now all difficulties are forbid.  
The Sacred Key we wanted of this Store;  
But now the passage's free, what need we more?  
Diseases now may fly from Britain's Isle,  
And Health without control may reign and smile.  
This Antidote, like Mists before the Sun,  
Distempers dissipates, and makes them run.  
Here's a whole Army of such Sacred Charms,  
As conquers perfectly all Mortal's harms.  
Ampusa trembles, and each Mortal's foe  
Impressions cannot make or breed us woe.  
As long as Mynsicht thus is made our own,  
What greater kindness to the Nation's shown?  
Peruse, kind Reader, and admire my Friend,  
Let all the Universe his Praise extend,  
Extol his Name, and lift it up so high,  
That it may meet and kiss Eternity:  
For this I'm sure there can be none more fit  
Or trusty to translate this, speaketh it   
William Hide.   

To my good Friend Mr. john Partridge upon his Translation.  

Famed Lily did the Astrologick Art  
To English Men in English first impart;  
This Work of his thou didst abbreviate,  
Refining it at neat methodick rate.  
Great Mynsicht, in Poeonian Art renowned,  
A Treasury for the Latin World did found,  
Wherein are laid of jewels a great store,  
Which were to Phoebus' Sons unknown before:  
This on us English thou dost now bestow,  
Such as none else, save Mother-tongue, do know.  
As Mynsicht's Glory doth through Latium flourish,  
So England shall thy Praises ever nourish.

OF Chemical Medicines.  
SECTION I. Of select and other precious Chemical Medicines.  

Unicornu Minerale, or the Mineral Unicorn.  
THIS glorious and mysterious Medicine, by reason of the unworthy and ungrateful Sons of the World, was hidden and obscured, lest this Spagyric Gemm should seem to be cast among Swine; nevertheless, out of affection to Christian love, and the impulse of the Deity, I was willing to make it public; and among other Mysteries, which I have gained from the Light of Nature, and the inquiry of Grace; or have found by the scrutiny of my own Experience; or hath been revealed to me by the good will of excellent Spagyric Artists, and the prudent Searchers into the things of Nature, I freely communicate to the Sons of Learning and Experience; yet I do appoint it as a thing beyond all doubt, that this healthy and celestial comfort may be received with a pleasant countenance, and with the delight of a thankful mind dedicated to God in praise and thanksgiving.  
The Preparation.  
TAke native Vitriol green, and known to the Philosophers only, or for want of that, the Crystals of Vitriol of Venus well cleansed, sublimely mundified, and free from all its terrestrial quality; put it into a strong and well luted Retort, increase the fire by degrees, till it produceth a reddish Oil, which carefully preserve: the use of it shall be showed hereafter. Then take the Caput mortuum which is left in the bottom of the Vessel, and pour upon it an appropriate Menstruum, and set it in a cold place, and it will shoot into Crystals of the nature and savour of Vitriol. Calcine the Caput mortuum the second time, and proceed as before is directed, and it will again produce new Crystals almost of the same kind, but less profitable to this Mystery. Repeat this labour so often and so long, till no more smell remains in the Vitriol; and then lastly calcine the Caput mortuum throughly, but Philosophically, and extract from it its Salt, which will be excellent and pleasant to the taste, which also preserve in hope of the following doctrine, and in the mean time be mindful of what hath been spoken:  
You may by due rectifying of the terrene part, find a true occult Medicinal Stone.  
Then take the forementioned Oil, and pour into it Water, in that dissolve filings of Steel, and prepare Vitriol of it, which dissolve in distilled Rain-water, that the Crystal may the better appear, which labour you shall so often repeat, till you have the pure from the impure, and that the Crystals appear clear and pellucid, without dimness and obscurity. From these Crystals of Mars in the former manner distil a red Oil, and let it be well rectified, lest any of the phlegm should remain in it: Then you shall have the blood of the red Lion, that is, a Mineral, the Sulphur of Mars and Venus together, of excellent virtue, and this taken from Vulcan, according to that saying: 
Mulciberis capti Marsque Venusque dolis.   
This being done, extract from the Caput mortuum a Salt void of all smell of Mars, prepare it after the same manner as is already showed in the Extraction of Salt of Vitriol of Venus. Both these Salts mix together in equal weight, put it into some open Glass-vessel, and set it in a Cellar or other cold place, where it may resolve itself into a Mercurial water: Then take the solution, and from that again draw fresh Crystals; and than you will have a duplicate Mercury, the Salt of Sapience and Nature, the Salt of the Philosophers, under which is hidden the Basis of the World. And this duplicate Mercury being wrapped in a hood of obscurity, was never manifested so plainly by any of the Philosophers as by myself, although in certain obscure words it was delivered by them; which was not easy to be understood, till by the search of more laborious men, the thing was further sought into: and this Mercury is called by the Philosophers Rebis, which is as it were the terrestrial Treasure discovered by the mercy of God, an Experiment of the best and greatest knowledge which you must reserve for the following use.  
Take the Mercury now mentioned, and that red Sulphur, those two join Philosophically by the rule of Reason and Understanding, and let the Spagyric Vessel, in which they are mixed, be three parts empty, and the fourth part only filled with the Medicine; this seal Hermetically, and manage it with a Philosophical fire by degrees in a continual heat, till the whole mass be coagulated and brought into the form of a stone: Which being done, you may, if you please, reduce into its forms principally, and in a short time render it more noble and illustrious; and so you have made the great Mystery. If you are curious, you may observe before the Coagulation a wonderful appearance of many things, and many colours also: all which consider well, honour God, and accommodate your Neighbour.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose.  
IT is an universal Medicine, and such a Treasure that is able to cure all Diseases, by what name soever they are called, in all and every Creature. One, two, or more grains of this Arcanum taken, according to the age and constitution of the Patient, doth presently penetrate the whole body like smoke, it removes all the vicious and malignant attendants of Nature, and puts all into a better conformity, it doth renew the whole Creature, and as it were regenerates all de novo: it keeps the whole structure in order, beyond the power and disturbance of small accidental Diseases, even to old age, or to the end of life, which is determined by the Almighty, etc. For 
Contra vim mortis non est medicamen in hortis.  
When death's impowered by the God above,  
No medicine can our miseries remove.   
Also this illustrious Medicine, when duly fermented with the pure Gold of Philosophers, cleanseth Metals from their original impurity, and renders them good by the virtue of the pure fixed Gold. For which immense and ineffable benefit, and every other gift and wisdom, let it be to the praise and glory of the great Creator, who is God blessed for ever.   

Unicornu Solare, or the Solar Unicorn.  
LIke as the Unicorn in the animal Kingdom, is esteemed of great price by all men, but especially great ones, and is esteemed of such a price, that it far exceeds all Gems, precious Stones, Gold and Silver both in price and excellence, and hath a place among the richest of Treasures: So also the Solar Unicorn in the Mineral Kingdom is to be esteemed of great price for its great fixitude, and more than solid perfection; for it is the highest, most precious, and next to universal, to which it is joined as a Partner both in virtue and operation, and so secret a Mystery, that it is not improper to call it a most powerful and inaccessible Remedy.  
Preparation.  
ALthough it is easy to the knowing and skilful, yet it will be difficult to the ignorant and unskilful, they being wrapped in ignorance like a garment. Take the original Mineral of Gold, broken into piece like Hazelnuts, the quantity of a pound or less, put it into a Cornuta, or other Spagyric Vessel, and with a gentle clear fire distil it, the work being made secure and all well luted, and let the matter in the bottom not melt, but sweat only without burning, that it may send forth a sweet and celestial Water, which is of great price. And indeed by the benefit of this Spagyric Art, a pound of the Mineral will scarce cast forth by sweat the quantity of a spoonful of water; therefore you may reiterate this labour with new Mineral until you think you have water sufficient for your purpose. Then rectify this water eight or nine times, that the pure may be separated from the impure; which being done, let it be reserved for use as the true Arcanum and Hermetical Treasure: and he that knows how to transmute this water into a viscous and vivid liquor, hath really that most secret and rare Key which is known but to a few, by which that golden Castle that is fenced with a threefold Wall, is most easily recluded, and by the thread of wisdom he legitimately enters to those Treasures hidden in Gold: But this work is the following labour, etc. Now take the best Arabic Gold, with Antimony according to Art purified to the height, and wrought into thin plates by the Goldsmith or otherwise, and then without any other additament it may be brought into a most fine Powder; or if you know how without Corrosives to prepare a fine Calx of the Sun Spagyrically, you may do it with more profit, etc. Then put of this most secret Powder what quantity you will into a Philosophical Glass, and pour upon it a little of the Solar Menstruum, that it may exceed the Powder half the thickness of your little finger, seal the Glass Hermetically, and set it to digest in such a heat as the Embryo is nourished by in the Mother's womb, till the water is consumed, or drunk up by the Powder of Gold; then open your Glass, and pour upon it so much of your Solar Menstruum, as you did the first time: Let it dry again the same way as before, and repeat this work so often, till the Gold is changed into a reddish Powder, and then the Solar Unicorn is prepared; which is approved in many and most desperate Diseases a most profitable and sweet Remedy: It is truly that golden Fleece, which after a manifold and so often repeated Philosophical Concoction, doth overcome and conquer the heat of fire, neither can it be overcome by it. Hence you may recall the quality of this sort of Mystery to the Touchstone of a more ripe counsel.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose.  
BY this Arcanum the wiser Physicians not only conserved (by the will of God) the health and strength of the body, and prolonged life for many years, but also they cured the Epilepsy, the Apoplexy, the Elephantiasis, Morphew, Melancholy, Madness, Quartan Agues, Sciatica, Gout, pains in the Joints, Dropsy, yellow Jaundice, Pox, Asthma, Phthisis, Pleurisy, Itch and Scurff, Cancers, Noli me tangere, and the like dangerous humane Diseases of this kind by other Remedies incurable; and this done by the strength of the fire contained in it, which doth not only consume the lethal humours, but also doth repair and renovate the very marrow in the Bones, and raise and succour the whole humane body, though half dead. And one thing is worthy to be noted of this Medicine, that it contains in itself a most powerful and diaphoretic force: Therefore whosoever is willing to use this Remedy, especially if he labours under any of the forementioned Diseases, let him repair to his Bed for one or two hours, and prepare for a Sweat, and it will cast it out sweetly and plentifully without any pain, and leave nothing impure or superfluous in the Body. To young men who desire a long life, it is given once a month, and the day he takes it, let him forbear both meat and drink till the evening, by which means the virtue of the Medicine will grow into a radical equality with the humours, and the strength of the Body will increase more and more, the natural beauty will increase, and outdo the art of paint, etc. giving a comeliness pleasing and conspicuous to every beholder. But to those who labour under the beforementioned Diseases, it ought to be given ten days successively in Vehicles proper and appropriate to the Disease, and so (God willing) they will be restored to their pristine health, as much as Art and Medicine can perform. To old people it is given twice a month, and by the Providence of God it preserves their Intellectuals firm and entire, and in their greatest age it renders their bodies vigorous and fresh even to their graves. To young Women and Virgins this Arcanum is given four times a week at the New Moon, it keeps Nature in its due current, and every part of the body in order. Also if you should give it to a Woman who is long in Labour, and though the Birth were hindered by the bigness of the Child, yet immediately after the wished for Infant will be brought forth almost without any pain. If it be given to Women whose Courses have left them, it keeps them fresh, lusty, and fair, and sometimes it causes their Terms to come again, so that they are made capable of Childbearing. It also cures the Pestilence, and if any Carbuncle should appear, it dispels the matter of it, and by a friendly Sweat drives forth the cause of it: For which great and glorious Mystery we ascribe honour to Jehovah and the individual Trinity for ever and ever.   

Aurum Potabile, or Potable Gold.  
TAke the best Hungarian Gold throughly prepared with Antimony and a strong fire, which done, let it be wrought into thin plates, then dissolve it with good and well rectified Oil of Salt, known to none but to the absolute Chemist, and after solution draw off the humidity with an Alembick, and in the bottom you shall find the yellow Calx of the Sun. Take this and put it into a glass Vessel, and pour upon it so much of the Oil of Cinnamon as will make a Mixture like a Pultis, and you will see the matter in the middle begin to boil and wax black; then have ready at hand good Spirit of Wine very well rectified and impregnated with the Tartar of the Philosophers, pour a little of that into the forementioned liquid Mass, that it may rise a finger's breadth above the matter, and the Spirit will presently extract the soul of the Sun, clear and in colour like Gold; this being done, pour off the tinged Spirit, and pour on fresh, and this labour repeat so often, until the Spirit receives no more Tincture. Dissolve the remaining Calx of the Sun again anew, with fresh Oil of Salt, and proceed as at the first, by repeating and continuing this work till the whole body is dissolved, and a potable Liquor made of the Gold: after all, let this Aromatic Liquor of the Sun be circulated, that it may be freed from all the acrimony of the Oil of Salt, which still remains in it, or in the Spirit of Wine: and this is the first solution made without Corrosives, which no man will ever be able to reduce again into natural Gold.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose.  
AMong the best of Medicines this is the chief, it takes away most Diseases and Distempers of the Body, intrinsically drawing away the original, and constantly works the Cure with great admiration; it renovates and conserveses the whole body; it refreshes all the vital Spirits; consumes all malignant humours; it quiets the mind, makes them cheerful and merry, and affords good blood; it is a specifical Cordial and the most noble Chemical Treasure, for which we are bound to give our greatest thanks to the Omnipotent God, etc. Dose from three drops to five and seven taken in some convenient Vehicle in a morning fasting.   

Argentum Potabile, or Potable Silver.  
TAke of the finest Silver what quantity you will, and dissolve it in Aqua fortis, then set it in a cool place, and it will shoot forth into Crystals, pour off the phlegm, and take the Crystals, put them into a Glass, or a well glazed earthen Dish, and set it in a Cellar or other such like place to dissolve, and it will be like water, evaporate the humidity, and you will have in the bottom a Powder, which mix with Sal Armoniac, and sublime them according to Art, and the Shall Armoniac will quickly rise and carry with it the true Soul of the Moon; put the sublimed matter into a Glass or well glazed Basin, and with distilled Rain-water let it be well edulcorated, and the corrosive and superfluous sharpness of the Aqua fortis and the Shall Armoniac may be separated. Afterwards dry the Powder, and put it into a Glass, and pour upon it the well rectified Spirit of the Microcosm, than set it in a warm place for 24 hours, and this Spirit will soon draw out the Soul of the Moon, fair, clear, but bluish, and in colour like a Saphir; pour off the tinged Liquor, and put on fresh, until all the sulphureous part be extracted: this done, let it evaporate of itself, or else draw it off by an Alembick in Sand, and again pour on Philosophical Spirit of Wine, and that will fundamentally extract the Soul of the Moon, and also constantly retain it. But if you are willing to have it in the form of a Powder, then draw off the Menstruum first by an Alembick, and the Soul of the Moon will remain in the bottom, which reserve for your use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose.  
THis Potable Silver, or true Soul of the Moon cures the Epilepsy and all Lunatic Diseases, as well in general as in special; it takes away the cares of the mind, and gives quiet sleep; it consumes Catarrhs, and is a good remedy for the noise in the Ears; it also helps Deafness; it comforts the Brain; it helps Forgetfulness, and strengthens a weak Memory; it expels the Vertigo, Grief, and all those humours which are the ground of Melancholy-distempers; it is a Specific for the Head, which in all ages and both Sexes cures the most dangerous distempers thereunto belonging. Lastly, it is a precious and noble Treasure, curing many diseases and imbecilities. The Dose from three drops to half a scruple, in any Vehicle proper to the distemper.   

Arcanum Duplicatum, or a double Secret.  
THis Arcanum is also called the Salt of Wisdom, also a Salt of two things, because it doth consist but of two things in its preparation, to wit, Vitriol and Nitre, and it is by the Chemists prepared in the following method. Extract from the Caput mortuum of Aqua fortis (distilled from equal parts of Vitriol and Nitre) a most white Salt with warm water. Take this Salt and grind it upon a Marble, and put it into a Cucurbit luted all over; let your fire be increased by degrees, and continued for twelve hours, till it be calcined, remembering to stir it often, towards the end let the bottom of the Cucurbit grow red-hot, afterwards let all cool again: the Vessel being broken, take out your Salt, and work again as at the first, grinding it into sine Powder, etc. and let this labour be repeated the second and third time, and then it is truly prepared.  
But some of the more curious Spagyrists add to seven or ten parts of this Salt, one part of the Calx of the Sun or Moon well prepared; and being well mixed together, they grind them into a fine Powder upon a Marble, and after by the benefit of fire, as Artists well know how, they six and unite them: and being so prepared, they preserve it as a part of their Treasure.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose.  
IT is given in all Melancholy-distempers, in Madness, disturbance of Mind, the Pestilence, Epidemical Diseases, etc. This Medicine is a great Secret, and works variously, by Transpiration, by Stool, and sometimes also it causeth sleep. The Dose is from a scruple to half a dram in any Vehicle appropriate to the disease.   

Ros Mineralis, or the Mineral Dew.  
TAke the whole Spagyrical Lion, not emboweled, but first Philosophically roasted in the Sun; put him into the Balneum of Wisdom; let it be ingeniously done, that it may sweat out the Mineral dew, which is sweet and lovely. Then rectify this by itself often, until it be spiritual and celestial, and then you have the golden Fleece of jupiter, the true Spring of Venus, the Sweat or Labour of Pallas, the Tears of Diana, and the Metamorphosis of Actaeon, that is, its power over many and various Diseases. For which glorious and Divine gift, praise be to the immortal God for ever and ever.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose.  
IT is a general Medicine appropriate to extract the Essences and Tinctures of all Vegetables: For as the Heavens work powerfully upon these sublunary bodies, by giving life to all things; so also this heavenly Liquor preserves the body in health, prolongs life, preserves youth, keeps off old age, resists putrefaction, and expels all kind of diseases. The Dose from two drams to half an ounce, or an ounce either by itself, or in some specific Vehicle.   

Bezoardicum Joviale, or the jovial Bezoar.  
THis Secret the true and skilful Chemists do with me prepare after this manner. Take Regulus of Antimony three ounces, the best English Tin purified two ounces. Let them be melted together, and afterwards brought into a most fine Powder, then add of sublimate Mercury ten ounces. All which being well mixed and put into a Retort, let them be distilled, and there will appear a white matter, which Artists call Butter of Antimony. Put this into a Cucurbit, and draw off all this humidity, and then add to it so much Spirit of Sal Nitre as the Powder, being taken out, shall require in weight, and in Sand distil it dry; then take it out again, and reduce it into fine Powder, and pour upon it the Liquor before drawn off with an addition of two ounces of fresh Spirit of Sal Nitre, and as before draw it off; take out the white Powder again, and powder it finely, and put it in again with the last Liquor drawn off, and add to it again two ounces more of fresh Spirit of Sal Nitre, and draw it off again the third time. Lastly, take it out again, and reduce it into powder, and lay it upon a smooth board before a hot fire for two or three hours, that it may dry, and afterwards keep it for your use. In this method I did first prepare it in the Year 1610. and found it strong and powerful in operation.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose.  
IT is a wonderful Diaphoretic, and a most powerful Secret in all Distempers of the Womb, and in many other Diseases belonging to Women: 'Tis very good in the Plague, Fevers, Seurvy, and all Epidemical Diseases; 'tis a present Remedy against Poison of any kind that is drunk; also in all Falls where Bezoardick and Sudorific Medicines are useful. The Dose from three grains to five and six in Treacle-water, or in our water of Hartshorn, or in any other convenient Liquor.   

Crocus Metallorum absinthiated.  
TAkeof the best bright crude Antimony, Salt of Wormwood of each four ounces. Mix them, and in a Crucible let them be calcined according to art, and you will find the Antimony calcined, of a reddish colour, and fixed, being utterly bereft of all its Arsenical Sulphur; this wash so often, till no more acrimony of the Salt of Wormwood be perceived by the taste: this Powder so edulcorated and dried, keep for your use, as the true and most genuine Crocus Metallorum.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose.  
THis is an excellent profitable Remedy, accommodated to most Diseases; pain in the Head, Epilepsy of what kind soever, in all distempers of the Stomach, Fevers, Plague, hypocondriac Melancholy, Asthmas, Pleurisies as well spurious as exquisite, Gouts, etc. in all which it hath most excellent effects. In the Dropsy it purgeth without any offence or nauseating, and that sometimes by Vomit, sometimes by Stool: In other Diseases it works by Vomit and Stool together. It opens the obstructions of the Liver, cures the yellow Jaundice, rectifies the Spleen, and is an excellent Medicine for the Scurvy. The Dose from three grains to four, five, or six in Conserves or other appropriate Vehicles; or what is better, let so many grains be infused in two ounces of Rhenish wine, and two drams of Cinamon-water all night; in the morning strain it, throw away the powder, and drink the clear Wine warm. If you infuse it in Spanish Wine, it seldom vomits, but works only by stool; therefore for Vomiting, white or Rhenish is best.   

Tartarus Emeticus, or a Vomiting Tartar.  
TAke acid Tartar finely powdered, Crocus Metallorum absinthiated, of each two ounces: mix them well, and put them into a Viol, and pour upon it two pound of our Aqua Benedicta Serpilli, place it in warm Sand for three or four days, and keep it close covered or stopped; shake it often, that the acidity of the Tartar may be perfectly dissolved: afterwards while it is warm filter it through Hypocrates sleeve according to art, that the Crocus Metallorum being well separated from the solution, may remain in it; but the solution itself may pass through it clear and void of Feces. This done, set it in a cool place to crystallize, then take these Crystals impregnate with Tartar, which being dried and powdered, keep them for use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is a most excellent Vomit in all chronical and stubborn Diseases, especially in those men who are of weak Constitutions, seeing it is far more gentle and safe than Crocus Metallorum and other Mineral Vomits. It is good against all Melancholy, Madness, a distempered Mind, Deliriums, continual pains of the Head, which arise from other parts of the body by consent, the Vertigo, Epilepsy, Apoplexy, Fascination, difficulty of Hearing, ringing of the Ears. Also against nauseating and windiness of the Stomach and Sides, yellow Jaundice, Dropsy, Tertian, Quartan, and other chronical, continual, putrid and acute Fevers, Love-potions, poisonous Draughts, choleric Pleurisies, and all Diseases in general that Choler hath a share in. It is also good against that poisonous Dysentery that happeneth commonly in the Plague. Also against the Hangarian disease it is an excellent, divine, and safe remedy. If any have unadvisedly or unawares taken poisonous Meats or Drinks, or swallowed Flies, Spiders, and such like; also little Fish-bones, and other such like things sticking in the Throat, or from other things which are brought into the Stomach, by Enchantments, as hairs, nails, pins, yarn, or other prodigious things of that kind that are dangerous to life, are all removed by the wonderful effects of this Vomit. The Dose is from four to five and six grains, especially in robust bodies, in any appropriate Vehicle, taken two or three hours before or after meals, or at any time in necessity. But this is to be observed, That neither this nor any other Vomits may be given to every one without danger; but they are to be given to those only, who are apt to vomit, that have a strong stomach, a wide throat, and are accustomed to vomit, and in whom the peccant humours are naturally carried upwards. But choleric men, and those who abhor vomiting, or have weak brains, or any weakness or imperfection in the Head, which doth properly reside there, and is not caused by consent from other parts of the body: All those who have Phthisicks, Asthmas, Coughs, Colicks, spit blood, are subject to be feverish, those who have internal Imposthumes, or inveterate and confirmed obstructions of the Mesentery, Liver, and Spleen, or have schirrous Tumours in those parts, or have any of their principal members hurt: Also all those who have their spirits exhausted by burning and pestilential Fevers, all those who are troubled with a nauseating at the stomach, that they are not able to contain either meat or drink, (which is not from any inherent matter in the Ventricle, that Nature endeavours to cast off by Vomit, but it riseth accidentally from the effects of the parts adjacent) all these are to abstain from Vomits. Lastly, as well Women with Child as other Women and Virgins, who are troubled with the obstruction of their Terms, not rising from the impurity of the Bowels, but from the obstruction of the Veins only which pass into the Womb, these likewise are to forbear Vomits. It is to be noted also, when any one begins to vomit, it is usual to give them Broth made of Pulse or flesh without fat, or a draught of warm drink; and if it be needful to reiterate the same, that so the Vomit may work the easier, and the motion of the Medicine may be hastened.   

Tartarus Nitratus, or Tartar Nitrified.  
Take Salt of Tartar, Nitre prepared, of each equal parts. Dissolve them in Rose-water warm, than filter it, and boil it gently over the fire, till there appear a crust on the top, than put it in a cool place, and it will crystallize, which Crystals keep for use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. 'Tis a most excellent Medicine; for it hath a singular faculty in cutting and cleansing thick and tartarous humours, and in opening obstructions. Also in putrid Fevers, and hath been experimented both in the Hungarian and malignant, and it resisteth putrefaction. In the inflammation of the Throat, called the Prunella, it is a present remedy: it brings forth the stone in the Kidneys, cleanseth the Bladder of all impurities, and provokes Urine. The Dose is from one scruple to half a dram in some appropriate Liquor or other Medicine.   

Oxysaccharum Emeticum, or a Vomit of Vinegar and Sugar.  
Take Crocus Metallorum absinthiated half an ounce, Cassia lignea two drams, Lignum Aloes, Roots of Angelica, of each one dram; red Roses half a dram. Let them be infused in fifteen ounces of Vinegar of Clove-gilly-flowers: let them stand in infusion for 24 hours in a gentle heat, and afterwards filter them, and add of white Sugar Candy as much as will make it like a Syrup, and then keep it for your use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is excellent in pains of the Head, in Melancholy, Epilepsy of what sort soever, Quinsy, Plague, Pleurisy, Cough, Asthma, in all affections of the Stomach, in the Dysentery, Pox, Coagulation of blood, etc. it is good for those who have taken poisonous draughts; it preserves from the Gout. The Dose is from half an ounce to six drams in specific Liquors, or given by itself.   

Catharticum Argenteum, or the Silver Cathartick.  
TAke of pure Silver an ounce, Aqua fortis distilled from the Salt of Nitre and Vitriol, and in a Retort in Sand over a gentle fire first rectified, six ounces. Dissolve the Moon in this water, and to the solution add of fresh Aqua fortis four ounces, of purified Nitre half an ounce, mix them well, and distil it in an Alembick in Balneo Mariae, or in Sand three times, still pouring on again the distilled Liquor on the Faeces according to art; then put the Cucurbit into Sand, that is, higher than it is luted, that so all the Aqua fortis may be drawn off till it be throughly dry. Then break the Glass, and take out the coagulated Medicine in the bottom, which is black withoutside, but white within: break this into small pieces, and then dissolve it in about four ounces of Aqua fortis before drawn off, till the Powder grow black, and then you have the true Philosophical Moon; take this clear Liquor, and put it into a cold place, and it will shoot into Crystals. Take these Crystals and dry them by the fire, not in the Sun, if you do, they will grow black and unprofitable: and when they are sufficiently dried, keep them for your use without edulcoration.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. 'Tis a most powerful Cathartick, with which the most skilful Chemists purge in the Cachexy and Dropsy, etc. it also purges all serous and watery Humours, and cures external Tumours of the Body in the strongest Constitutions; it expels the waterish humours in the sides, which cause various Symptoms and Diseases, and it relieves any parts of the body overpressed with humours. The Dose is from four to five grains in a morning in a good draught of warm Wine: It is most proper to use it in the decrease of the Moon about her last Quarter, unless urgent occasion require otherwise.   

Turpethum Minerale verum, or the true Turbith Mineral.  
THE true and genuine Turbith Mineral is not (by the best Chemists) prepared from crude Mercury with Aqua fortis, but from sublimate, in the following manner: Take of the best sublimate Mercury what quantity you please, dissolve it in Aqua coelestis warm, filter the solution often, which being done, put the filtered Liquor into a Glass, and pour upon it by drops so much Oil of the Salt of Tartar as is requisite, till you see a red Powder in the bottom of the Glass, then pour off the Liquor, and keep the red Powder, edulcorate that with common water, till it hath lost all its sharpness and saltness, then pour upon it Aqua Mellis six or seven times well rectified, and let this be repeated as many times, at last take the Powder (being dry) and pour upon it Alkohol of Wine that it may be well moistened, set the humidity on fire, and keep it stirring with an Iron Spatula, till all the Wine be consumed, and so you have Turbith Mineral truly prepared, whose excellent virtue is known almost to all, neither shall I enlarge further upon it. The Dose is from four or five grains to six and seven in some convenient Vehicle.   

Mercurius Dulcis, or Sweet Mercury.  
MErcurius dulcis by the best of Spagyrists is thus prepared: Take of Mercury sublimate six ounces, of crude Mercury four ounces. Mix them well, that the crude Mercury may be no more seen, sublime it the common way; and this sublimation repeat five or six times, till the Mercury becomes insipid or sweet. The red Powder in the bottom, and the white which is sublimated into the neck of the Glass is to be thrown away, and that in the middle only reserved: and so you have Mercurius dulcis truly prepared, break the Glass and take it out, pulverize it, and keep it for use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It doth wonders in the Dropsy, Plague, Pleurisy, Gout, yellow Jaundice, etc. for by purifying the blood, and rectifying the marrow in the bones, it radically drives out all noxious humours from the body: it is also an excellent Cathartick, and by right deserves to be called a Panacea. In all desperate diseases caused by a putrefaction of humours it is of singular use; for it draws forth all poisonous and vicious humours, and doth not move Vomiting, but only by stool it gently purgeth, and performs all its operations without trouble. It kills Worms, heals all Venereal Ulcers, yea the Pox itself, and it powerfully dries and radically takes away the defluxions of the Brain. The Dose from one scruple to half a dram, and in strong bodies two scruples.   

Mercurius Vitae Corrected.  
LET Mercurius vitae vitrified by the benefit of common Borax be finely powdered, pour upon it distilled Vinegar first strongly impregnated with Spirit of Salt of Nitre, and again well dried in Sand, so shall you have (after due edulcoration) a Powder, which is safer to be taken, and whose desired operations are performed with less trouble, than by that of other preparations.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is good in Quartan and other intermitting Fevers, in most diseases of the Head; in the Plague, Dropsy, Leprosy, Pox, malignant Ulcers, and the like grievous affects, it works wonders. Dose in weak bodies from two grains to three, in strong bodies from four to five either by itself, or in Conserve of Roses or Violets, or so many grains may be infused in Wine or other convenient Liquor all night, in the morning let it be strained through a Cloth and drunk.   

The Aperitive Magistery of Mars.  
TAke of the Juice of Sorrel depurated three pound, pour it upon eight ounces of the best Tamarinds; rub them well together either with your hands, or with a wooden Pestle in an earthen Basin (not a Pewter one) that it may be all like Pulp, or thick Pottage: then take out all the husks and little stringy fibres, boil it a little, and clarify it with the whites of two Eggs; then strain it through a woollen Cloth, and being clear, put it into a glass Cucurbit, to which add filings of Steel well cleansed from all its filth four ounces. Let them digest together in Sand warm for three days and three nights, putting a blind head upon the Cucurbit, and stir it often with a wooden Spatula. After digestion filter it into a Glass or earthen Basin, and in Sand let it evaporate to the consistence of a liquid Extract, and you shall have this Aperitive Magistery of Mars. What remains of the Steel let it be dried and brought into a most fine Powder, and reserved for use; and so you have Steel prepared with Vinegar of Tamarinds for Chalybeate Wine, whose description and use seek in its proper Section.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It hath a singular property in opening, dissolving, and drying; which admirable Title is not given to it only for opening the oppilations of the Liver, Spleen, and Mesenterics, but also for dissolving and consuming hard scirrhous Tumours, and for drying and corroborating the parts grieved and debilitated by a redundance of humours. Besides it hath an excellent faculty of attenuating, loosning and preparing black Choler; and therefore it hath been experimented in the Cure of Melancholy, black and yellow Jaundice, Quartan Agues, and all other affects arising from superfluity, obturation, putrefaction, and the like. It also by a specific quality openeth the Veins of the Matrix being obstructed, and hence it moves and provokes the Terms, etc. It hath been also experimented in the Green-sickness, ill habit of Body, and the beginning of a Dropsy. It also corroborates the Genital parts of man or woman, debilitated and relaxed by a superfluity of moisture. Lastly, it is also very profitable in an inveterate Gonorrhoea, and the white stinking flux of the Womb. Moreover, if this liquid Magistery be mixed with a just quantity of Rhenish Wine, it colours it black; but if it be filtered again through a Paper, it becomes clear and dilucid as before, and doth no ways abate of its strength, it still retaining its strong taste, and is of equal virtue and force; therefore in all affects where the Spaw-waters, or any other Medicinal Waters that are impregnated with the Minerals of Mars, which are so highly commended by our practical Physicians, are useful, this will supply the place, and may be given as effectually to the Patient to drink. For where the body is conveniently cleansed, and some Veins opened, if there be occasion, and afterwards for certain days drink this Martial Wine, and observe a good diet, there and then it works upon the same affects, which those Medicinal Waters are given for or can perform. The Dose of this Aperitive Magistery is from half a dram to a dram, more or less, in some appropriate Vehicle, or in Electuaries, Conserves, Bowls, Rotula's, and in other Species of Medicines it may be mixed according to the judgement of the Physician. But the Dose of the Martial Wine is from two ounces to three, either by itself, or mixed with other Liquors.   

The Magistery of Jupiter.  
TAke the Ashes of fine Tin prepared in an open fire, and with strong distilled Vinegar extract a Salt according to Art; afterwards take Spirit of Vitriol well rectified, and drop it in upon this Extraction, being first filtered, and immediately it will become white like Milk, and a white Powder will precipitate to the bottom, which Powder take and edulcorate by washing it often with distilled Rain-water, till it hath lost all its acrimony, then dry the Powder, and keep for use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is of excellent virtue in the infirmities of the Womb and other Hysterical affects: It repels those Vapours which arise from the Womb to the upper parts, and doth prevent those grievous Symptoms that are hence used to rise. The Dose is from four grains to six in proper Vehicles.   

The Magistery of Saturn.  
TAke of the clear and crystalline Salt of Saturn what quantity you will, dissolve it in Rose-water, afterwards pour upon it Spirit of Vitriol (there are some who use Oil of Tartar, but Spirit of Vitriol is best) slowly, and yet with a quick fall, till it be of the colour of thick Milk; then filter it through a brown Paper, and a white Magistery will remain there, then with Cordial water edulcorate it according to the Spagyric Art, and having dried it, keep it for your use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Magistery of Saturn is freed from all its nauseous and noxious sweetness, and we happily use it in Phthisicks, Hectics, burning Fevers, and in other internal Inflammations. Also in Quartan Agues, in affections of the Spleen, in the Colic and Venereal Lusts it is a great Secret, it being contrary to these things. The Dose is from four to six grains in some specific and congruous Vehicle. It is also of excellent use in the rottenness and foulness of the Mouth, in malignant Ulcers, in Cancers, in all Saturnine Diseases, the Wolf (an Ulcer so called) Fistula's, all burning Sores, Burns, red Pustles of the Face, the redness of the Eyes, etc. and may be variously mixed either in Plasters or Liniments, or dissolved in other things for external use.   

Anima Vitrioli, or the Soul of Vitriol.  
TAke several great and large earthen Vessels, by how much the larger they are, by so much the better; fill those Vessels full with Rain-water, and into every Vessel put two, three, or more handfuls of common Vitriol, yet measure the Vitriol, and either increase it or diminish it according to the bigness of the Vessels, and let this Vitriol dissolve in the water, let the Vessels stand where they may not be moved, and sometimes exposed to the Sun or the Air, yet so, that it may not rain into them, nor any filth be cast therein: Then you shall see the Soul of Vitriol swim on the top of the water in colour like the Rainbow or a Peacock's tail; this being thin, you shall take it off with a Spoon divers times in the day: This being done, stir the water about, and by and by when it is settled again, there will appear fresh Soul, which take also, and so by little and little you shall gather as much as you shall think sufficient. Note, When there will no more colours rise in the water, the Soul is all extracted, and the water is to be replenished with fresh Vitriol. The Soul being all abstracted, it will at first appear like mud, which lay upon a Tile or other earthen Vessel, and put it into a strong fire till it be red-hot, and then it will be of the colour of blood, and endure the flame; which being done, though it should lie in the fire many days, it will not waste a grain.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Soul of Vitriol (Philosophically extracted, and Spagyrically prepared) is given in many Diseases, especially all fluxes of the Head and Belly, the flux of Blood and Terms, etc. in the Epilepsy, Dropsy, Gonorrhoea, prickings of the Sides, Gout, Fevers, Frenzy, etc. in all which it is of admirable use. The Dose from five grains to six or eight in appropriate Vehicles and Medicines respecting the Disease.   

The Arcanum of Vitriol.  
DIstil from native Vitriol calcined a very red Oil, take the Caput mortuum, and from thence extract the extreme Salt free from all the taste of Vitriol: then mix three parts of this extracted Salt with two parts of the distilled Oil, put upon a fire till it be dry. Repeat this labour so often, till the Salt is double the weight it was at first, than put this Salt into a glass Cucurbit, and pour upon it so much Oil of Vitriol, seal it Hermetically, and set it to putrify, and afterwards into warm Sand, which within a few days you shall find coagulated; and so it is prepared.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Arcanum is not only a stomachical Specific, but also a most powerful Remedy against all kind of Diseases, which I happily use in general to conserve the Body in health. The Dose from three and five grains to six or eight in some appropriate Vehicle.   

Nitre Vitriolated.  
TAke of Nitre prepared one part, Spirit of Vitriol rectified two parts. Mix them, and distil it in a Retort by degrees, first with a gentle, then with a more strong fire, till the Retort wax very hot, and when the Spirit will no more ascend, let it cool by degrees, and in the bottom of the Retort will remain a white Powder almost void of its sharp, corrosive, and nitrous quality: Upon this Powder pour so much fresh Spirit of Vitriol as is sufficient for its dissolution, than filter it through a brown Paper, and let it half evaporate away, and put it then into a cool place to crystallize. Take these Crystals and dry them, and keep them for use, and so you have the true Nitrum vitriolatum, which by certain Chemists is called the Coagulated Spirit of Vitriol.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It hath the same virtue and operation that the Spirit of Vitriol hath, only it refrigerates more, and hath a greater diuretic force; in colouring any thing it is also the same, only it exceeds the Spirit. The operation of it chiefly consists in cutting humours, in dissipating, mundifying, drying, contracting, and resisting putrefaction, and by its tartness it restrains thirst. Hence it is a most excellent Medicine in all Fevers, whether malignant, pestilential, putrid, Hungarian, or Epidemical, which from a sulphureous, astral, and poisonous influence are caused and kindled in men's bodies, containing in it a Bezoardick property, by which it often moves Sweat and Urine, and consumes all internal, fervid, noxious Vapours; it also purgeth and comforteth the Stomach by a natural heat, and helps it in Concoction; it stirs up the Appetite, takes away putrefaction, and the cause of a stinking Breath; it also kills the Worms, which are the effects of Putrefaction and Crudity. It is also a most profitable Remedy for all Hepatick diseases, and for those who have their Faces painted with red Pustles, or are subject to a Diarrhoea. It is an useful Medicine in the Quincy, pestilential Pleurisy, Tumours of the Spleen, putrid Gonorrhoea, the Whites in Women, the Scurvy, and the like. The Dose is from four or six grains to eight or ten in Conserves, Electuaries, Syrups, Juleps, or other convenient Liquors. In cold distempers it is given mixed with Wine; but in Fevers in Barleywater. In Diarrhoea's and imperfections of the Liver, as also in a Gonorrhoea and Fluxes in Women it is given mixed with Conserve of red Roses, that it may become tart, and red like blood. But all they who are subject to Contraction and Convulsion of the Nerves, and those who have dry Brains, or lean, spare Bodies; also those whose Stomaches are small and weak, and have the mouth of their Ventricle small and tender; also Women and Virgins, who are troubled with the obstruction of the Terms, must abstain from the use of this Medicine.   

Flowers of Nitre.  
DIssolve Nitre prepared in Rose-water, than put the solution into a new Pot not glazed, and set it in a cold place for some days, till the flowers of the Nitre pass through the Pot, and stick to the outside of it; then with a Hare's foot let them be diligently wiped off, and keep them for your use without any other preparation.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is of excellent use in the Hungarian, and other malignant burning Fevers. It repels and takes off all Inflammations; also the roughness of the Jaws, and the heat of the parts adjoining, especially when they begin to wax black. It is an admirable Remedy to alter and remove the intemperate heat of the Heart, Ventricle, Lungs, Liver, Spleen, Kidneys and Bladder. It brings away the Stone, and expels Urine too long retained. The Dose is from half a dram to a dram in some appropriate Medicine.   

Spirit of Salt Coagulated.  
TAke crystalline Salt of Wormwood, or the common Salt well rectified, add to this so much Spirit of Salt as will Spagyrically coagulate and unite these together; yet let it be so done, that the Spirit of Salt may abound both in favour and strength. This so coagulated and justly consistent, keep for your use in a glass Vessel: for this is much more profitable than the Spirit of Salt itself, both to take, keep and carry about, as need shall require.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This is a most excellent Medicine, having a Balsamic property, by which it renews the whole man, and purifies the Blood; it comforts the Head, Heart, and Stomach; opens obstructions of the Liver and Spleen; it takes away, discusses, mundifies, and resists putrefaction: It is also a most powerful Diuretic, and therefore a Specific in Dropsies, powerfully expelling by Urine all the watery and flatulent humours, and all the tartarous and snivelly matter, by which the Stone in the Reins and Bladder is generated. It is a present Remedy in the Iliack and Colic passions, in the yellow Jaundice, in long burning Fevers, Dysenteries, Palsies, Apoplexies, Gout, Leprosy, Worms, Rupture, the English Sweat, the Plague, Poisons, etc. The Dose from six or seven to ten or fifteen grains in specific and appropriate Vehicles. In the Dropsy it is given (other Remedies being given before) in Wormwood-water mixed with Spirit of the flowers of Elder, of each equal parts, and this continued daily, till the Dropsy or Tympany is cured, which will be in few days.   

Spirit of Vitriol Coagulated.  
IN the same manner is Spirit of Vitriol coagulated with Salt of Sorrel, and is without doubt of great force in Physic, as is witnessed by Experience the Mistress of all things.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is a great Secret in corroborating a weak stomach, whose digestion it also helps; it is useful in Fevers of the Stomach, in Inflammations and Thirst. We also use it in all diseases of the Head, suffocation of the Womb, Stone, Jaundice, Plague, Epidemical diseases, etc. for it doth powerfully resist the Enemy of Nature, and preserves from putrefaction. The Dose (the body being first cleansed) is so much as will make any thing sharp or tart, yet so, that it may not offend the Teeth; it is given in Mutton, or other warm Broth, or in any other proper Vehicle: yet choleric men must abstain from the use of it. Some do coagulate the Spirit of Vitriol with the Salt of Wormwood, which way of preparing of it is equal in force of operation to the other.   

The Gemm of Life.  
TAke of Sal Gemm first prepared, then certain times Chemically dissolved in Rhenish Wine, then filtered and coagulated three pound. Put this into a Cucurbit well luted, and put upon it a double Alembick (as Artists well know) with a Receiver large enough, and by degrees sublime it with a strong fire, till all the white and corrosive Spirits go forth, and the Receiver be filled with clouds, then let all be cleared again, and take away the Salt which is risen into the Alembick, and with Spirit of Wine extract it: the Spirit being impregnate with the Salt take it by inclination, and keep it by itself. The Salt left in the bottom dissolve again in the Rhenish Wine before abstracted, than filter it, and with an Alembick draw off all the humidity: the Salt being dried, sublime it the second time, and being sublimed again with Spirit of Wine, as before, extract it, and this labour repeat four times or more, till there can be no more extracted. Lastly, all the Spirit of Wine impregnate with the Salt and kept apart, now mix them together, and in a gentle heat in Balneo bring it to the dryness of Salt, and so you have a Salt spiritual, lovely, fair and crystalline, of great force and operation. At last put this Salt into a silver Vessel gilded with gold, melt it, and when it is melted, put to it (under an earthen covering) so many leaves of Gold by degrees, as may make it of a most red colour, and after a quarter of an hour take it away, let it cool, and reduce it into a most fine Powder, and keep it for your use as an incomparable Treasure.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is a Medicine that deserves great praise and esteem; and that I may say all in a few words, it is the only Treasure of humane life against all diseases, even the most desperate: its force and power in altering, penetrating, comforting, expelling, and resisting putrefaction, is greater than can be found in any other. Besides, it opens all obstructions, dissipates poisons, it renders the substance of the blood and all the Spirits more pure and lightsome, and prolongs life, unless opposed by Fatal necessity, God so ordering it. The Dose is from four grains to half a scruple in some appropriate Medicine, which must be considered according to the quality of the disease.   

Alum Tinged.  
Take crude Alum an ounce, Magistery of Dragon's blood half an ounce. Dissolve them in Carduus-water, and coagulate it according to art.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Alum thus impregnate with Dragon's blood, is of excellent use in Fevers and Quartan Agues, and a great Secret in Dysenteries, and all other Fluxes of the Belly. The Dose is from half a scruple to a whole scruple in some appropriate Vehicle; but in Fevers or Agues it is given some hours before the Fit in Tabaco-water, to move Sweat if possible.   

Bezoar Potabile.  
TO accomplish and perfect this Arcanum, prepare with singular care and study the following dissolving Menstruum: Take Nitre cleansed, Spirit of Vitriol rectified, of each equal parts, distil it in Sand in a Retort, observing degrees in your fire. And this first time, when the fire hath been at the height, and is again abated, pour out the Liquor and weigh it, and add to it the same quantity in weight of Spirit of Wine Alkoholisated, and pour it on your Nitre again, and draw it off as at first, keeping a gentle fire in the beginning of your work, lest the Spirit of Wine should fly too soon; then gradually increase your fire to the fourth degree, until you can perceive no more to rise. This labour is performed in about three hours, ere you get your fire to the fourth degree; lastly you will see your Retort red-hot: from which, when it is cold, you may take your Receiver, and your Menstruum is prepared ready for use, and in the bottom of your Retort you shall find a very little white matter almost void of taste. Then take of the Oriental Bezoar-stone finely powdered an ounce, put it into a small glass Cucurbit, and pour upon it of this Menstruum (last mentioned) as much as will stand above the Medicine three fingers, and set it in Balneo with a moderate heat, and in the space of two or three hours the Menstruum will turn the Bezoar-stone into a red colour. Pour off this solution, and what still remains undissolved, pour upon it again the forementioned Menstruum after the same manner as before, and again put that into a Bath, and repeat this work till it is all dissolved; and when it is so, put all the tinged Menstruum into a Cucurbit, and with an Alembick draw it off gently: which being done, pour Spirit of Wine upon the mass left in the bottom, and again draw that off as before, and so do the second and third time (remembering to add new Spirit of Wine each time) until you can perceive no more acrimony of the Menstruum left; then again pour upon it water of Hartshorn, or other Cordial water, and again set it in Balneo, till all the Extract is dissolved in this Liquor: afterward filter it through a Paper, and evaporate it, that about four ounces may remain, which keep as the most excellent Treasure among all earthly things for your use. How this water of Hartshorn is truly and peculiarly prepared, shall be showed in the Section of Waters.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This most noble and more than Royal Medicine is a singular Antidote against Poison of every kind, but chiefly against noxious vapours of a poisonous quality, and pestilential infections reigning in the habit of the body, and afflicting the vital Faculty, which it expels by Sweat and insensible Transpiration, and roborates the Heart, and all other of the principal internal parts. This I have found by Experience, that it operates with great virtue and force against all sudden and dangerous affects produced from pestilential Poison, in Fevers, the small Pox, Epidemical Pleurisies, the Hungarian disease, and all other diseases which arise from the same causes: neither is it used with less success against the Erysipelas and other poisonous Symptoms where Diaphoretic Bezoars are required; it is an enemy to all putrefaction and malignity, and it mundifies the blood. The Dose is from a scruple to a dram in proper Vehicles. It is also given to the sick in some Potion to be drunk, and not to put him into a violent heat, (therefore it may be taken early in the morning, or if need require, at any other time of the day, being guided by your reason) lest it should weaken and abate the strength of the Patient by giving too much vent for the Spirits; and yet it is necessary that the Patient be warm, and do gently sweat, as much as may be without the debilitation and decrease of strength. Moreover this Medicine may be given two or three times or more, according to the condition of the Patient, etc. in all Complexions and Constitutions of bodies, to Women with Child, to Children and Infants, without any hurt or danger, especially if the state of the disease be such, that they dare not give those hot Theriacal and Alexiterical Antidotes. But if the condition of the sick seems so to require, that a Vein should be opened, or the body cleansed by some Vomit or Purge, these things ought first to be done, and after, if need be, some Sudorific given. Also if the constitution of the Patient be such, that he cannot sweat easily, as indeed many such are sometimes found, when such a Patient shall be committed to your care that cannot sweat, though covered never so warm, and other means used to force it; give a Dose of this Arcanum, and it will work either by Vomit, or Stool, or by Urine, or some other insensible Perspiration, like a pestilential Vulnerary that drives the peccant matter from the Centre to the Emunctories and out of the body, and no other ways doth it invade the malignity; therefore we may also expect the same effect from this Antidote which in other cases and bodies is produced from Sweat-driving Medicines. Also in the giving of it great care is to be taken, lest any thing of Vinegar, or other sharp Liquor be mixed with it, nay any acetous Syrups are also forbidden, as Syrup of Citrons, Goose-berries, Barberries, etc. But this Extract of Bezoar may be precipitated another way, which will fall to the bottom of the Vessel like Powder, and not easily dissolve. But if any should read this, especially one ignorant of the Secrets of Nature, and will not believe, or doth not know the efficacy and power of this Divine Medicine, let him prove it in this manner: let him give poison to a Pigeon, Hen, Dog, Cat, or any other Animal, and when it is ready to die, then let him give it of this Medicine in some appropriate Vehicle, and he may see what is to be done by the works of his Creator. Moreover I have often proved it, and by the Grace of God I have given it with wonderful success among the infected, in acute Diseases, the Plague, Petechia, poisonous Draughts, etc. Lastly, it is to be observed, that this Potable Bezoar is not to be kept in Venice or Bohemian Glasses, but in thick Germane Glasses, for the more sure keeping of its spiritual virtue, for which give praise and honour to God.   

Magistery of the Bezoar-stone.  
OF the Oriental Bezoar-stone there is also a most excellent and precious dry Magistery prepared, of a subtle and penetrating virtue, thus: Dissolve the Bezoar according to art in the Menstruum, whose preparation was mentioned before; when it is dissolved, filter it through a Paper, and have ready at hand either distilled Vinegar, or Juice of Citrons clarified, pour this by drops upon the solution, yet pour it on quick, holding your hand a good distance above it, and presently soft and subtle particles will precipitate to the bottom, almost without any acrimony; then draw off the Menstruum, and edulcorate it with Cordial waters; which being done, dry it, and keep for use, as the true and sincere Magistery of Bezoar.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This noble Magistery thus prepared, is profitable in all malignant affects and Symptoms, and is given against all poisonous humours or vapours that infect the Heart, especially where the quality and putrefaction is judged to be hot; and therefore in all other cases where Bezoar is useful, it may be safely given, and in the first place to those who are of a tender Nature, and nauseate Physic; also to Women with Child and to Infants, because it hath almost neither smell nor taste. The Dose of it to Infants is from two or three grains to four; but to those of riper years, according as the age and necessity may require, from ten or twelve to fifteen grains, in distilled Waters, or other convenient Medicine, according as the skilful Physician shall think most fit.   

Magistery of Coral with Roses.  
Take of distilled Vinegar four pound, and red Roses dried. Put the Roses into the Vinegar, and let them stand in infusion till it is of a red Tincture, which filter; and in this Liquor dissolve according to art red Coral, and into this solution drop Spirit of Vitriol, and there will suddenly a red Powder precipitate itself to the bottom; this Powder dry in the shade, and not in the Sun, or by the fire, without any edulcoration, (lest the sharpness of the Vitriol should be lost, and the Tincture of Roses washed away) and keep it for use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Magistery is given in those cases, and to those persons where the use of the other Corals is thought too dear. It comforts the Heart and vital Spirits, and preserves the body from all poison: It purifies the blood, and resists putrefaction, and all other diseases arising from blood corrupted. It gently refrigerates, dries and contracts: by which means it roborates all the internal members debilitated by an intemperate heat, and preserves the body in a good state of health. It is by Experiment found most profitable in a weak Stomach, Vomiting, Bleeding at the Nose, Flux of the Liver, Suffocation of the Matrix, superfluous Terms, the Whites, Abortion, Gonorrhoea, Stone in the Reins, Dysentery, and all other Fluxes of the Belly. The Dose is from four grains to six in any Vehicle appropriate to the Disease.  
Annotation. In like manner you may prepare Magistery of Corals from Flowers of Peony, good in the Epilepsy and other dangerous affects, and is a very commendable Medicine: and the same is to be understood in preparing it from certain other Flowers.   

Scammony Rosated.  
Take Spirit of Vitriol first rectified with Spirit of Wine three ounces, red Roses dried a dram and a half. Infuse the Roses in the Spirit till it become red, than filter it, and you have the Spirit of Vitriol rosated. Afterward dissolve crude Scammony in the Spirit, that it may be like Broth or thick Pottage, then dry it again, and this labour repeat the second and third time; then add a little Spirit of Roses, (the Pestle being first smeared with Oil of sweet Almonds) and work it strongly into a mass, from which afterward with some drops of Oil of Roses and Cinnamon make Troches of a fragrant and sweet odour, which may be kept many years.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It purgeth divers humours, but especially yellow Choler without any trouble, and cleanseth the Vessels and blood; hence it is given with good success in many diseases that require evacuation; and this it performs gently without any Gripes of the Belly. The Dose is from thirteen or sixteen grains to twenty, either in Pills, or in Powder given in any proper Vehicle.  
Annotation. In the whole Spagyric Republic I have not found a more noble Corrective for Scammony, as I can witness by my own Experience; for this doth exceed all other Preparations, yea the very Rosin of Scammony itself. For it dissipates its tough, viscous, and poisonous malignity, and doth correct it, and doth certainly purge; which doth not always follow from the taking of the Rosin only.   

Magistery of Scammony.  
THE true and Spagyric Preparation and Correction of Scammony which is used as a Secret by Physicians, is this: Take a sufficient quantity of select Scammony, which dissolve in Philosophical Spirit of Wine; after due filtration draw it off again in an Alembick at least to half, then pour upon it Rose-water as much as shall seem necessary for precipitation, and the pure Rosin of Scammony will be precipitated, void of all its poisonous quality, and freed from its nauseous smell and taste, which (when the humidity is separated from it) reserve for use.

Afterward pulverize this, and add to it powder of red Roses an ounce, of red Sanders two drams, and pour upon it a sufficient quantity of Spirit of Wine, and let it circulate for twenty four hours, and when it is grown cold again filter it through a Paper, and by degrees let it evaporate till it is dry: and so you have a red Extract, of valid and excellent efficacy, and in aspect fair and lovely, though the Gum by itself or the Magistery of it is of an unpleasant yellow colour, and doth easily nauseate. Hitherto it is revealed and communicated to none, but to the ingenious and worthy, for which end it was found.

Mix them all together, and bring them into the due and just form of an Extract, to which you may add for the greater force of the Medicine, the Salt made of the calcined Feces, and extracted according to art.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. It is a great Secret, nay it is the best Medicine in many and almost all Diseases, against all metallic, animal, and vegetable Poisons, as Mercury, Arsenic, Wolf-bane, the brain of a Cat, poisonous Medicines, Love-potions, the poison of Spiders, Vipers, Serpents, Scorpions, Toads, etc. which doth powerfully expel it from the Heart and the other principal Members by Sweat, and penetrates and conserveses the whole body. It is also useful after due Purging in all putrefactions and superfluous humours of the body from whencesoever they arise, in ill habits of Body, Dropsy, etc. In Erysipelas' (in which case open a Vein first in strong bodies) in the English Sweat, punctures of the Sides, small Pox, Asthma, Melancholy, Pox, obstructions of the Liver and Spleen, Leprosy, Contractures, all long and confirmed Diseases, etc. Also all Gouts in the Joints, Knee, Foot, Hippolito, in all Fevers, Terms retained, Jaundice, yea in the Colic and Iliack Passion, etc. It is a singular and incomparable remedy in the Plague, the Hungarian disease, and in all Epidemical diseases it is a great Secret, and by the report of the Patient, it works to a miracle; and that I may speak all in a word, it is an universal Evacuative of all Poisons in the body. In Apostems, Carbuncles, the true Pleurisy, first give one Doses, and exactly five hours after give another, let this be gentle, that he may have a third, and of the happy success let no man doubt. But if the Patient should cast up the Medicine by Vomit, repeat it again presently, yea though he should retain it, for it is not sufficient to give one Dose only; but give it so, that it may cast the pestilential Poison out of the body with power and safety, repeat this Alexipharmack Sudorific five or six times in two days: Which seeing it is often neglected, how many may be saved which dye, and this noble Medicine is defamed! When the Patient is in his Sweat, let him refresh himself with Conserve of Roses vitriolated, Conserve of Sorrel, Rob of Goose-berries, Juice and Syrup of Citrons, of Pomegranates, with Cordial and simple Waters, etc. and let the Patient abstain from sleep till he hath sweat twice. When his Sweat is over, let his body be dried with clean Linen moderately warm, but take great care lest the expulsed Poison be driven in again by too cold Air; let the Sheets and Blankets of the Bed be changed: And if the sick were tired with sweeting, let him use comforting and refreshing Meats, as newlaid Eggs, Broth, Ptisans, and such like, which are pleasant, and nourish much in a small quantity. The Dose is from half a scruple to a scruple: But if he be seized with the Plague, or his case be desperate, let him take at first half a dram or two scruples in our water of Hartshorn, Treacle, or Carduus benedictus, or let him take it in any other appropriate Vehicle, and sweat; for it doth most powerfully drive all Poison out of the body by its Diaphoretick force; for you will see the whole body flow with sweat. For which Divine blessing let the Name of the Lord be blessed.

Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Antidote from its value and excellence is called Golden, and in virtue and operation it comes near our Solar Bezoar, only it is easier prepared. In the first place it is a most excellent remedy against the Plague, Epidemical diseases, and all kinds of Poison. For whosoever in time of the Plague shall use this Medicine, keep it in their bodies, and sweat with it, do by the Providence of God escape, without having the distemper. But let one that is infected use it from half a dram to a dram in his greatest necessity, expecting the operation of it in his bed; and while he sweats let him forbear sleep, which many Physicians do not permit under the space of 24 hours, especially when the Bubo and Carbuncle appear; yet seeing it doth restore strength, and that heat in sleep is carried rather to the exteriors than to the interiors, it ought not to be forbidden beyond the time of Sweeting: neither let the sick use any rigorous means to procure Sweat; for I observe, that either with or without it, by the use of this Alexitery, Evacuation is made by insensible Transpiration, and the pestiferous matter is retunded, which ought to be observed in giving all Diaphoreticks. Moreover it helps Epilepsies, Apoplexies, Hemicrania's, Cephalalgia's, Vertigoes, Convulsions, Palsy and Melancholy. It is a present help in the Asthma, pains of the Heart, Spleen and Liver, Dropsies, spitting of Blood, the bloody Flux, Colic, Sciatica, Gout; and all kinds of Fevers either Quotidian, Tertian, or Quartan.

SECT. IV. Of the Preparing certain things, etc.  

The Calcination and Preparation of Hartshorn, Elks hoofs, Man's Skull, etc. Spagyrically or without Fire.  
THis Calcination is effectually performed in a Bladder by continual boiling or digesting in fair water, by which vapour the Horn hanging in the neck of the Bladder, in which place it may be best wrought and penetrated, by a pleasant and wonderful manner is calcined to a perfect whiteness, without those violent flames which otherwise consume its virtues (as is used to be done in the vulgar Calcination) but let the fourth part of the Bladder be empty: And if in boiling the water should consume, pour on more scalding hot, and this do until this fumigatory Calcination (for whatsoever is calcined by this method, is not undeservedly said to be calcined by Suffumigation) be absolutely finished.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. Hartshorn thus prepared, is equal to the Unicorns horn in its Diaphoretick force; for it is profitable in all affects of the Heart, and wonderfully excellent in all kind of Poison. Moreover it is very effectual in the yellow Jaundice, Dysenteries, pains of the Guts, voiding of blood either upwards or downwards, pains in the Bladder, Fluxes of blood in Women, etc. The Elks hoof also of the same Preparation is of great efficacy, being a noble Cordial in malignant Fevers, and a Secret in many other diseases, likewise man's Skull wonderfully cures the Epilepsy, Apoplexy, Vertigo, etc. The Dose is from ten to twenty or thirty grains in some appropriate Vehicle.   

The true Spagyrical Preparation of Theban Opium.  
Put Theban Opium cut into small pieces upon an Iron plate, and set it upon hot coals, constantly stirring it, till all the poisonous and corrosive quality is separated by Evaporation. Yet take this caution, let not him that tends it receive the Fumes, for it is hurtful. When this is evaporated, the Opium left upon the Plate will have a fragrant smell like Violets, which is a true sign that all its malignity is separated; then dissolve this Opium thus prepared either in Wine-vinegar distilled, or in Juice of Citrons: which being done, again draw off the Menstruum, and keep it for use.   

The Preparation of Nitre.  
Take of Nitre purified with Flos Sulphuris half a pound, dissolve it in Spirit of Wine and Vitriol, of each a like quantity; then draw off the Spirit, until the mass remains crusty; what is left in the bottom, put into a cool place, and the Nitre will shoot into Crystals, from which take the humidity, and dry the Crystal, and reserve them for use.   

The Preparation of Millepedes commonly called Wood-lice.  
Take Millepedes what quantity you please, wash them in Spanish Wine, and in a Glass close stopped, and covered with Paste all over, dry them in an Oven; again wash them in Spanish Wine, and dry them as before, and repeat this the third time; fourthly infuse them in our Aqua Nephritica vitriolated for two or three days, afterwards dry them, and pulverize them, and keep them for use.   

The Preparation of white Hellebore.  
Take white Hellebore finely pulverised, pour upon it often Vinegar, left after the dissolution of red Coral being abstracted and vitriolated (but first infuse in it the Cordial flowers and grains of Chermes) dry it again, and so you shall have white Hellebore well and Spagyrically prepared, which may safely be given inwardly in many diseases in a certain dose and mixture without any danger.   

The Preparation of Fish-shells.  
Take oblong shells which are found near Fishponds and Lakes, pour upon them distilled Vinegar, and let them lie therein a whole night, to extract the filth from them, which you shall carefully scrape off, and afterwards pulverize them, and with Carduus water prepare it upon a Marble; for the volatile Powder of them made by Calcination is of no worth nor use in Physic.   

The Calcination and Preparation of River flints.  
Take River-flints white and shining, and heat them red-hot in a strong fire, then quench them in water in which Shall Armoniac hath been dissolved, and repeat this work often, till at last the Flints appear white like Snow, and may be easily brought to a Powder. This Powder edulcorate with Rose water, and keep it for use.  
Virtue, Use, and Dose. This Powder is not only a powerful Dentifricium, cleansing the Teeth on a sudden from all their corrosive Tartar and other filth, and makes them white, but also Iron and Steel, and hence it takes away all rust from Arms and Weapons presently, and makes them fair and clean, especially if the rust be first rubbed with Oleum Templini, and then afterward scoured with this Powder. By this way Arms that are kept in store may be preserved pure and clean for many years from the filth and damage of rust. And indeed it is of great use not only for the Armoury of Princes, but of Cities and Persons of Honour; and though it is but an ordinary thing, it ought not to be contemned.   

The Preparation of the Pumice-stone.  
Quench a red-hot Pumice-stone in Cow's milk thrice, and the fourth time leave it in the Milk until all grow cold, then pulverize it, and it is prepared for our Farina Virginea.   

The Preparation of the sweet Earth of Vitriol.  
Take of green Vitriol calcined to a perfect redness what quantity you please, pulverize it, and edulcorate it by often washing it in distilled Rain-water, till the red Earth is freed from all its saltness and acrimony; then dry this sweet (or rather insipid) Earth, and reserve it for use.   

The Preparation and Calcination of Alum.  
Take of common Salt two parts, of the best Alum one part. Mix them, and in a convenient Vessel reverberate them according to art for twelve hours, then take away the reverberated matter, and wash it so often with warm water, till it is perfectly edulcorated, and the Powder is quite freed from all its saltness, then pour upon it our Juniper Spirit of Wine, that it may swim three or four fingers above it, and keep it for use.

Annotation.  
1. Clysters are of great use, and are most noble and mild Medicines in all passions and affects of the Head.  
2. If a Purge he given, and it should not work in two or three hours, let a moderate Clyster be applied, that it may be drawn downwards.  
3. If the Patient should not retain his Clyster long enough, let there be another presently applied; and if this should not stay with him, a third also is to be given; for the sick person is not to be constrained to keep them, but others to be again repeated.  
4. Commonly two Clysters a day may be administered, or at the most three, beyond which it is not safe to proceed, and let there be at least four hours between each of them.  
5. But if one Clyster should work well and effectually, let that one suffice.  
6. In the Epilepsy, Apoplexy, Convulsion, Palsy, etc. sharp Clysters are generally to be used; yet let not one or the other be used that may hinder.  
7. In the bloody Flux, because of Ulcers in the Bowels, Clysters are to be used warm, but not hot.  
8. In the Stone of the Reins and Bladder nothing is more excellent than Clysters for the drawing away of the superfluous humours; but the quantity of them ought to be sometimes less than usual, because repletion increaseth the pain of the Bowels. Afterward the matter being thus discharged, the parts mundified, and the pain assuaged, Diuretics may be given.  
9 If you would give Clysters for the Worms, Oils are not to be mixed therewith; for the Worms do usually shun Oil.  
10. If one Clyster or more should be given in a day, although compounded with the strongest cathartics, and should have no operation, in such a case take water well impregnate with Salt, and make a Clyster which apply warm; for this never fails, but returns with great plenty of the offending Excrements, and is indeed a great Secret. For example, Take warm water a pound, common Salt an ounce and a half: which being mixed and dissolved, give it for a Clyster.  
11. Whosoever is troubled with difficulty of breathing, is not to be forced to retain a Clyster.

And Fistula's which are not grown callous, this Plaster heals. It is also of good use in all Putrefaction, Piles, and other Swellings of the Fundament, as also all other distempers and accidents in those parts, as Chaps, Fici, etc. And lastly, it is successfully applied to all depascent Ulcers of the Paps and Privities.

Virtue and Use. It is a present Remedy in all kind of Ruptures; but in the first place it cures the Rupture of the Guts and Navel. Let this Plaster be applied to the part affected, that is, to the lower Belly, first bringing the Guts into their place by degrees, than the Mons Pubis and the Scrotum being shaved, apply it there also, and let all be kept together by fit Ligation or straight Drawers, lest the things fall off, and let this be continued till the Patient be perfectly well. During which time let him lie on a soft bed, and be at quiet, observing a regular Diet, and let him shun a cold intemperate Air, Wind, Noise, Clamour, Singing, Laughing, Weeping, lifting great weights, or any other violent motion. And let him also abstain from all flatulent windy Diet, and eat only thick, viscid and adstringent Aliment, the quantity of which ought to be small, for hunger helps forward the Cure.   

Emplastrum Diachylon Anodynum, or an Anodyne Diachylon Plaster.  
Take the Anodyne Oil prepared from the seven Flowers four and twenty ounces, Litharge well cleansed twelve ounces, Mucilage of the seed of Henbane and Fleabane, of Quinces and Flax, the middle bark of the Teil tree, roots of Marsh-mallows extracted with water of Nightshade four ounces. Let the lethargy be finely powdered and prepared, and then put to the Anodyne Oil, then let them boil over a gentle fire, always stirring them till they are well mixed. Remove them from the fire, and let it cool a little, the● put in the Mucilages, and mix them all well together, and bring them all to a just consistence, etc.  
Virtue and Use. It mollifies, allays pain, dissolves humours gathered in any part; it digests and ripens hard Inflammations and hot Tumours, and cures all things that are inflamed. Moreover it gives ease in the Gout, and is an excellent Medicine to bring down and abate a hot intemperature.   

Emplastrum de Spermate Ceti, or a Plaster of Sperma Ceti.

It being laid to the Breast of Women after their Delivery that do not give suck, and there worn for certain days, heals and removes all the pain caused by the Milk, and all hard Tumours and swellings in those parts: The Milk also coagulated or concreted it dissolves, and also consumes the abundance of it.    

SECT. XXXVII. Of Cataplasms.  

Cataplasma de Fermento, or a Cataplasm of Leaven.  
TAke old Leaven an ounce and a half, yellow Amber three drams, Nutmegs and Cubebs, of each half a dram; water-Mints and Cloves, of each a scruple; Castor and wood of Aloes, of each ten grains. Mix them, and with a little simple Spirit of Wine and Wine Vinegar, of each alike, bring all into the form of a Cataplasm.  
Virtue and Use. Let it be applied warm to the top of the Head, and repeat it often, it curiously discusseth the cause of the Palsy of the Tongue, and doth so consume and evacuate the matter from the superior parts, that always, not without admiration, the motion and speech returns: and indeed it is a Secret in recovering the Speech, and drying Catarrhs.   

Cataplasma Febrile, or a Cataplaesm for Fevers.  
Take Gunpowder pulverised, common Salt melted, of each an ounce; Spiders web, Nutmegs and Olibanum, of each two drams; the herb Wormwood, Shepherds-purse, small Nettles and Rue, of each a handful; white Turpentine a sufficient quantity to make a Cataplasm for the Pulses.  
Virtue and Use. This Cataplasm being put between two clothes, and laid to both the Wrists two hours before the Fit, cures all Fevers in Children, but especially bastard or spurious Tertians, and wonderfully allays the violence of the Fit.   

Cataplasma Scorbuticum contra Tumores Pedum, or a Scorbutic Cataplasm against the Swelling of the Feet.  
Take Wheat-bran well powdered half a pound, Meal of Barley and Beans, of each three ounces; Meal of Lupins and Lentils, of each an ounce and a half; Venice Soap two ounces, flowers of Chamomil two ounces, of Marsh-mallows an ounce, Litharge of Silver and red Bole Armeniack, of each half an ounce; roots of China and Rhubarb, of each three drams; Fungus of Elder-tree (I suppose he means Jews Ears) seven. Boil them in Juice of Elder expressed to such a thickness as may make a Cataplasm.  
Virtue and Use. This Cataplasm in the Scurvy is applied warm to the Feet at night, so that the whole Tumour be covered with it, and there lie all night, the next night let it be renewed and again applied, and this continue and repeat so long till the Tumour be dissolved; which by the use of this Cataplasm and the Blessing of God will soon succeed, and the parts be corroborated.   

Cataplasma de Cineribus, or a Cataplasm of Ashes.  
Take the Ashes of Hermodactyls, roots of Asphodel, Bean stalks, Elder wood, Figs, Cutting of Vines, dwarff Elder, of each alike. Mix them, and with white Wine make a Lixivium.  
Take of this Lixivium four pound, of brown household Bread a sufficient quantity. Boil them to a thickness, and then add sharp Wine Vinegar half a pound, Lapis medicamentosus three ounces, powder of Cummin seed, Bay-berries and Cloves, of each an ounce. Boil them gently, and make a Cataplasm according to Art.  
Virtue and Use. It is spread upon Linen clothes, and applied to Dropsical Tumours and Swellings (Evacuation being first made) there let it lie for certain hours, and when it begins to raise the skin, apply it lower toward the Knees, and so by degrees still downwards till you come to the Feet.   

Cataplasma de Nido Hirundinis, or a Cataplasm of a Swallows Nest.  
Take a Swallows Nest, Album Graecum an ounce and a half, roots of Marsh-mallows and white Lilies, of each an ounce; Figs and Dates, of each three. Boil them in common water to the form of a thin Pultis, then add Oil of Violets, meal of Chamomil, Foenugreek, Flax and Wheat, of each six drams; the brain of a Cat half an ounce, of an Owl and Swallow burnt, of each two drams; the Yolk of an Egg, Oriental Saffron a scruple. Mix them, and make a Cataplasm for the Neck.  
Virtue and Use. It is often applied warm to the Neck in a desperate Quinsy, and is indeed a Secret. But the Album Graecum should be gathered from the Dog when the Sun is in Leo, and the Dog should be shut up and fed with nothing but bones of a Calf gelt or otherwise, and give him not much water, and the first three days what the Dog voids throw away, but what comes afterward gather for use.   

Cataplasma contra Singultum, or a Cataplasm against Hiccupping.  
Take Leaven three ounces, juniper-berries, red Roses and water-Mints, of each a dram; Cloves, Nutmegs and Mace, of each half a dram; strong Wine Vinegar a sufficient quantity, make a Cataplasm, with which mix Oil of Cummin and Caraway, of each half a scruple.  
Virtue and Use. This is only useful in the Hiccup, which being put between two clothes, and laid to the Stomach warm, gives ease, especially if it be often applied, and it is a singular Medicine.   

Pannus Linteus Crocatus, or a Linen Cloth prepared with Saffron.  
Take a corpse Linen hempen Cloth, wash it five or six times in Frog Spawn gathered in March and filtered, so that the little black things like Eyes may be separated, and dry this Cloth by itself in the shade, not in the Sun, or by any other heat. Then take Vinegar of Elder-flowers and Oriental Saffron a sufficient quantity, and make a Tincture, in which boil that corpse hempen Cloth, till it hath imbibed a deep Saffron-colour: this being done, remove them from the fire, and let them cool together, then take the Linen Cloth thus saffronized, dry it in the shade, and keep it for use.  
Virtue and Use. It hath been often experienced in the Gout and Erysipelas (yet general Medicines and Evacuations ought not to be omitted) for this Cloth being laid to the part affected, that being first anointed with Venice Soap, stops and allays all pain, and in the most racking pains of the Gout is really a Divine Remedy.    

THE EPILOGUE.  
THus at length, benevolent Reader, by the favour of God I have finished this new Edition of my Medico-Chymical Compositions, increased and enriched with many Additions, and this with much diligence used in revising, correcting and amending (where perhaps any thing amiss, or less fit for Public use had casually slipped in) which Edition so revised, corrected and amended is such, as not in Title only, but in very deed it proves itself a real Treasury and Storehouse of Medico-Chymical Preparations, most efficacious in expelling all Diseases of humane Bodies: Yet I doubt not, but I shall find some Hadriano-Mastiges, like Dogs, barking and biting at, sometimes this and sometimes that in this my Work, and not only at the Work, but the Author himself also. And if perhaps they cannot disparage the Work as being good in itself, and already enough praised by the most expert Physicians, yet will they calumniate me the Author, (I say next to God) me the Author of this Work. And these, as I have already found, snarling and biting, are not of one sort, but of divers. Some of them not having any thing like it, much less better; (therefore it is plain, either they are wholly unwilling to excel, being hindered perhaps by Envy, if not Idleness, or which is most probable, a non-ability) and what is my real Work, by the Grace of God, they ascribe to the borrowed Labours of others, lest the proper Author should enjoy the Reputation due to his Merit, (which he himself denies to none who deserves it) and already set up in the Temple of Fame (by all good men) as a token of Gratitude. Which that they may throw down, or at least asperse with blots of suspicion, they use their best endeavour, casting abroad divers suggestions, but those vain and frivolous. The chiefest, and which they think will carry the Prize, is this: Art is long and tedious in attaining, man's life short; How then can it be (say they) that these so many singular Experiments diffused through the whole Art of Physic (struggling with a most long Experience and Practice) can be the work of one man? I could here, if I would, make long Recitals, what, and how much others before me have performed singly and alone, both in this and other Faculties not only to their own praise, but to the admiration of others, and not in any extraordinary number of years neither; but letting them pass, I will now speak to my own Work, performed by the Blessing of God, that when I am dead, my Labours may speak for me. I confess I found the Work difficult and toilsome; but yet (by God's assistance) so attainable, that by the Light of Grace and Nature, and with great Cost, I have found out and discovered such things, as have been happily used and approved, in the many and divers cures of great Princes and others in the current of my life, which I am not now afraid (desiring to promote the Public Good) to expose to the whole World. Which things thus published by me, if they shall enviously proceed in denying them to be mine alone, let them go on, and show by what other persons they have been found out, and by whom communicated to me. But this demonstration being likely to fail, another sort worse than the first, supplying their places, and aiding their Malice, whenas whatever is performed in this Treatise, is neither in itself, nor otherwise discommendable, being like good Wine, it's own Bush, they ascribe all to a familiar Spirit. They did well, if by this Spirit they chiefly meant him by whom all things are wrought in all, from whom and in whom, and by whom all things are, in whom we are, live, and move, i. e. the Divine and Omnipotent Spirit, familiar to all good men, of whom a Heathen Poet, acknowledging his gifts, says: 

Est Deus in nobis, agitante calescimus illo,  
Sedibus aethereis Spiritus ille venit.   

God moves in us, seen by our vital heat,  
Sent from above from his Aethereal seat.   To whom alone, as Giver and Mover of all things, whatsoever is good I ascribe as received from him, and that he may still remain in communion, and be merciful and propitious to me, is always my daily prayer: Again, if in a secondary and subordinate respect, they intended or designed under the Name of a familiar Spirit, the Spirit given me by the gift of the Omnipotent, whereby as a subservient and instrumental Cause, it being moved and instructed by its Principle, I was enabled to take this Labour upon me, and bring it to effect, I mean the Power, Genius and Faculties of my Mind, informed, enlightened and confirmed by Art, Use and Experience: which Spirit, unless I should have always familiar to me, and never separated from my actions, sayings and thoughts, there would be but little difference betwixt me and a Brute, a Trunk, or a Stock: I say, if they meant this Spirit, they meant right. But whereas by apparent signs it appears what Spirit they point at, i. e. that, which committing itself to the service of rash impious men, desiring his privy suggestions, permits itself to be kept sometimes in Crystals, sometimes in Rings, and other sorts of Enclosures, nay to be bought and sold (to the great danger both of Soul and Body) to the Possessors, and that indeed deservedly: but enjoying the testimony of God the Searcher of hearts, and of a good Conscience void of those impious Accusations, I account these my Traducers and Detractors, attributing to an evil Daemon the gifts of God divinely bestowed upon me, and which I have used to his Glory and the good of Mankind, worthy of no other Title than what our Lord Christ gave the Pharisees, A generation of Vipers, who ascribed his Divine Works to Beelzebub, who being totally evil himself, and Author of all that is bad, can do nothing but ill, a●d if he seems to do any thing under the appearance of good, his design is for mischief. They therefore who through Envy and Malice ascribe to the Devil and Satan Gifts divinely given for the good of Mankind, and as they deserve with their Patron a Satanical and Diabolical Name and Title, so also, unless they repent seriously, they shall not escape a punishment worthy their wicked offence. Besides these, I have experience of the sauciness and audacious boldness of some (whom I may call Catapancritons) who according to their custom and Doglike impudence wherewith they bark at, inveigh against, and bite at every thing, and esteem nothing but what is their own, all things else, even the Arts and Liberal Sciences, with their Founders and Favourers (altho' themselves have scarce tasted them) they look on them with a disdainful frown; neither do they entertain them only with derision and mocks, but with scurrilous reproaches, terming them vain Trifles, nay Dung and Dross. Without doubt with the same temerity and boldness will they handle me, unmindful in the mean time, poor wretched Fellows, unseasoned, parboiled, Medicasters' and Mountebanks, or to speak more plainly, Asses in Folio, how meanly they themselves are furnished with the knowledge of Physic and all other Arts and Sciences. But as the Proverb is, The more ignorant, the more impudent: so is it customary with these acute Zoilus' and Aristarchus' (forsooth) that when they cannot become known by their own Worth and Virtue, they endeavour it another way, that is, by detracting the Fame of others, and crying up themselves and their own Deeds, they hope for Esteem and Repute, and this chiefly among the ignorant and simple; but remember the Proverb, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉, It is easier to carp than to copy. But alas what a pitiful Fame and a vain empty Glory is that, which when it comes to the Touch, what they so Thrasonically boast of plainly comes to nothing, and so runs the fortune of Icarus, and undergoes the like disgrace, having arrogantly emulated his temerity, that it becomes subject to Horace his Scoff, Risum teneatis amici. The Disease which by such an ignominious Event, this affected Glory and repulse draws upon itself (I speak both what I have known and seen) finds no Cure by Chickens boiled over and over again, much less by Sigils, Annulets, Characters, Superstitions, Incantations, Rites, Ceremonies, Figures, Cabalistical Tables, Magical Cures, and a thousand other vanities, which as itself is mightily pleased in, so it imposeth upon others, under the name of a more secret sort of Physic. But as to this Thrasonical Tribe of Censors, admiring only themselves and their own Works according to the supercilious Authority and Licence which they arrogate to themselves, Marking (as the Proverb is) with a black Coal the Works of others; but whatever they be, why make I many words? Rats betray themselves by the mark they leave behind them, so our Censors do themselves by their own rash and insipid Judgements: For which they deserve no other reward, than what Midas had for his Judgement against Apollo, as the old Byword goes, King Midas wears the Ass' Ears: But Ovid expresseth it more fully in Lib. 11. Fab. 4. of his Metamorphosis. 
—— Nec Delius aures  
Humanum patitur stolidas retinere figuram;  
Sed trahit in spacium, Villisque albentibus implet,  
Instabilésque illas facit, & dat posse moveri.  
Caetera sunt hominis, partem damnatur in unam  
Induitúrque aures tardè gradientis aselli.  Which is thus translated by our Countryman Sandys, 
—— Phoebus for this gross abuse  
Transforms his ears his folly to declare,  
Stretched out in length, and covered with grey hair,  
Unstable, and now apt to move. The rest  
The former figure of a man possessed  
Punished in that offending part, who bears  
Upon his skull a slow-paced Ass' ears.  And let not this reward be envied, our Midas lets them please themselves, that they are conspicuous, when compared with others, let them live after their own wishes, let them abound in their own sense, and persuade themselves that they only know, and are able to do what others may admire. In the mean time, candid Reader, I shall not desist to improve the Talon that is given me, but improve all my endeavours for the service of the Physical Republic, and promote whatsoever may accommodate thee. Upon which account I had rather obey the desires of my friends, Princes and Great men, both in publishing this and my former Piece, than fear the Currish Censures of barking Zoilus'. First of all I collected these things for my own Use and private Practice, as a Storehouse always at hand, wherever I should be, at home or abroad, and had no thoughts of publishing them; but the Authority of the chiefest Physicians of almost all Germany, being importunate with me, and persuading me to a Publication, prevailed with me to change my mind, and to make those things public, which were collected only for private use, considering also, that I was not born for myself alone, but also for such as should need my Labours. To such than do I willingly communicate these things of mine, and not to those 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 selfconceited Aristarchus', of whose Judgements (whenas they themselves are as yet ignorant of the Fundamentals of Physic, or prepossessed with natural defect, or perhaps newly come out of the Barber's Shop or Stable, unpreparedly rushing upon these our Labours, precipitately judge them either imperfect, unprofitable, or more than needs, and yet themselves produce nothing of more Wit, Excellency, or Safety) I make no reckoning nor account. I was unwilling enviously to keep any thing secret, to the end, that he who pleaseth, may to the Glory of God and good of his Neighbour, put them in practice; and that any one being in peril of Health and Life, and want help, may come hither as to a Sanctuary, and take hence, as from a well-furnished Armoury, wholesome Weapons and Remedies against all Diseases and Distempers whatsoever, the various and manifold use of which, as it abundantly affords, so it evidently approves them to those who make trial, which all Fundamental and Dogmatical Physicians and safe Practitioners confess with open mouth. Try you that please, the Event will administer Praise and Commendation enough; if they cannot please and satisfy all, it is enough that they content the Good, Skilful and Experienced.  
Sincere Reader, let these things suffice, spoken by way of Epilogue, concerning this our Physico-Chymical Treasury and Storehouse, a Work of great Labour and Toil, and now enriched with not a few Additions promised in my former Edition, use it and enjoy it, till such time, as by Licence of the Fates, other things perhaps more secret (and no less my own Inventions than the former) may be made public for the Eternal benefit of the Physical Republic: In the mean time farewel.
