PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL WORKS, Composed by Geor.: Phaedro, surnamed the Great, of Gelleinen; viz. 

1. His Physical and Chemical Practice.  
2. His Physical and Chemical cure of the Plague.  
3. His lesser Chirurgery.  
4. His Chemical Furnace.    
Being the Chemical way and manner of Cure of the most difficile and incurable diseases: as also the preparing those Secrets; with the Elucidation of the Characteristical Celestial Physic.  
Selected out of the German and Latin Language; By the industry of John Andreas Schenckius of Graffenberg, Doctor of Physic.  
London, Printed for William Sheares, at the Bible in Saint Paul's Churchyard, near the little North door. 1654.   

PErusing those Learned Pieces of Basilius Valentinus, Roger Bacon, Isaac Holland, and other excellent Learned men, collected by Peter John Faber, Dr of Physic of Monspelier, and published together, finding George Phaedros' Works inserted amongst them, I thought it not impertinent to prefix the testimony of that Learned Physician, Dr John Faber concerning him, in his own words, in the third page of his argument of the whole Work, in his Curru Triumphaii.  
Scripsit Georgius Phaedro Tractatum unicum, & doctissimum de Theoria, & practica Lapidis sapientùm, & qui eum Tractatum ritè intelliget, verè & certè sciret, totam artem nostram. In hoc enim Tractatu quicquid de lapide Sapientum dici potest, clarissimè manifestatur, inter Medicos celeberrimos & Philosophos nominatur, & ipse Medicus Celebris vocatur.

To the courteous or candid READER.  
HAving found among the Books of my Father's Library, the manuscript of that Famous Physician, called George Phaedro, written by his own hand, which lay hid a long time in darkness, as an useless burden unto the earth; I thought, that an Art otherwise excellent and useful, is 〈◊〉 and defective, unless it be put unto the Practice: and this is the reason why I perused and caused it to be printed. For it is well known, that good counsels, if kept within the breast, are for no good unless they be imparted unto those that have need of them. Thus this Work lay hid, set down in paper, and collected for that purpose, that those which are taken ill might be cured, and doubtless he in his Calling did do his best he could. Why should we conceive any other, but that that industrious and Learned man, George Phaedro, my dear Father, hath intended by these his Labours nothing else, but that they might be for the good of his sick neighbours and fellow Christians? And that he in his experimental knowledge hath found to cure the diseased quickly, safely, and sweetly, the same medicaments should be communicated unto posterity? There are some men indeed, if they have gotten any secrets, they keep them for themselves, as if they had found some rare and new invented Art, and condemn it to a perpetual silence. How envious their mind is to the public good, is sufficiently known: I thought it good to communicate these to the Students of Physic, that they might serve, being published, for the good of such that are diseased, and be helped thereby. The which to effect the better, these here and there scattered members I have reduced into one Body, being set down by pieces, and conscribed in a promiscuous stile, (some in Latin, the most in the Germane tongue) reduced them into one Language, and brought them into Order, that they might not be tedious unto the Reader. This my small Labour I desire to be recommended unto all good men, praying to accept it in good part.  
john George Schenkius of Graffenberg, Dr of Physic.

Being sublimed and purified, set it in a glass in a Cellar, let it dissolve; anoint these Ulcers with a Feather dipped into the Liquor, and lay on them a Styptic Plaster.   

To heal a wound.  
IT is found by experience, that care must had, that the lips of a wound must be wiped, and well anointed, bones broken well set, or being out of joint, be put in their right places, and the wound also be filled with warm Unguent; if the wound be on the head, the Medicament must be laid on silk, because of the tenderness, (nobleness of the skin of the Brain, or Pia mater) and our warm Oil, or the oil of Juniper Berries) be syringed into every corner, and the Fractures or Luxations thereof be anointed with it, round about the wound where the Medicament of the place affected are, must be made wet with the warm decoction of the greasy wool, to keep of any other symptoms or defluxion falling that way; and that must be done twice a day for eight days together, or nine, that it be firm enough, provided that always the wound be washed at the first days with a Cerotick Laver.   

A Vulneraris Unguent.  
REcip. Of the green Herbs of Perwinckle, of Arsesmart, of the yellow Comfry, of Ophioglosson, (Lingua Serpentaria,) of Plantain, ana m. i of the roots of the great Comfrey, ℥ vi. of Aristolochia rotunda ʒ three Let these be beaten to a Pap, putting a little quantity of wine to it, boil it for ten hours, like a Chironick Potion, being sufficiently boiled, than beaten it very well, strain it through a cloth, to that strained liquor put of cruse honey, or in lieu of it of May butter, Crude lb i. of the slime of Earthworms ℥ v. of Heart's marrow ℥ iii of our Mumy quart i. of Fused salt, of Crocus Martis, of the flowers of aes viride, ana ℥ s. of Citrin Amber ℥ i Let these be boiled also, and be strained through a cloth press it, than set it in the sun or Horse-dung to digest it.   

Our vulnerarie is made thus.  
REcip. Of the oil pressed from seeds of Hypericon, of our Turpentine, or Resme, of the larix (lark trec) ana lb i of the best read wine lb i Let these be boiled for an hour, than add to it of fresh salad oil quart i. of the best read wine lb i ss. Let these boil again for an hour, than add to it of the flowers of Hypericon, of Prunella, of the lesser century, of the best read wine a sufficient quantity. Let it be boiled again for six hours, that the wine be boiled away, at last put to it of Mastix, of Myrrh, of Frankincense, ana ʒ i ss. of Mumie ʒ iii Let these be digested for a month at the Sun, or longer; than take a feather, dip it into the Balsam, and anoint the wound with it, and apply a styptic plaster, that no veins, arteries, nerves, or other ligaments may appear.   

Our vulnerary Balsam is this.  
REcip. Of Turpentine oil lb ss. of Tile-oyle quart i. of flowers of Hypericon, of the lesser century, of the yellow Comfry, ana a sufficient quantity for to fill it up. Let these be digested at the Sun for six days, and press it, afterwards put other flowers to it, for to digest them, and that must be iterated seven times. Than add thereunto of washed Turpentine ℥ vi. Digest it again. If any thing of the blow remain in the wounded part, which the Medicine could not get out or heal, as of the weapon, be it of an Arrow, or a Bullet, gotten into the closures, or hollownesses of the bones, under the skull, or the concavities of the eyes, the same must be gotten out by a spell. If any bones be lose, or splinters, or the like of the weapon be left in desperate wounds, than apply the following plaster in lieu of a common styptic plaster.  
℞. Of wax lb i. of the juice of the Augustan Dragon lb ss. of Colophony, of Shoemaker's wax or Rasom quart i. of gum Ammoniac ℥ two. of yellow Amber ℥ iii Make a plaster according to art, which must be tempered with the oil of yolks of eggs, than let the wound be bound or dressed only, with an ordinary styptic plaster, and so cicatrize it. Provided that by all means the chyronicall potion be administered.   

A Medico-chymicall curation, of the falling sickness.  
THE best antidote (preservative) is the most excent essence of man's blood, by whose means is procured, that the violent influence of the Lunar course, shall never 'cause any Lunatic or falling sickness, or prevail with such a party any more. This antidote is prepared in this manner.  
℞. Of Man's blood which is yet hot ℥ vi. of distilled wine ℥ i Digest these for forty days in a body, than distil it in a Balmy, and separate by a special manual the white liquor from the yellow. One scruple of this being given at the beginning of the New Moon, in the first fit, doth so operate, that it allayeth the fervent fury of the falling sickness, and the party will never be troubled with that epileptical concussion. In like manner that glorious oil of Cranium humanum, taketh away wholly and radically the falling sickness, if but three grains be taken of it, and the party will never be invaded with it, and that oil is prepared in this manner.  
℞. A Man's skull, which never was interred, and be freed from all moisture (humour) beaten it very small, force it strongly by a great fire, in a retort, drive all its moisture over into the Receiver, which liquor must be put again on the feces, and be driven over again; and being iterated a third time, than is this oil of man's skull elixerated or brought to a perfection, which must be kept safe in a glass for use: it is a most precious treasure.  
There are other mysteries hidden in other Animals, as in the Elk, Kite, Bees, which in the same manner cure for ever Epileptic convulsion: But I pass them by to avoid prolixity.  
There is used also against the falling sickness; to the party are given nine grains of reverberated Antimony, when the first Paroxysm is upon the patiented: If the fit comes again, than must be conveyed into the party ten and eight grains, an hour after the fit is over, than nine grains again, if another fit comes, after the third Paroxysm be over, the party will be troubled no more with it.  
A third means is Linterium; to the party must be given an hour before the fit cometh one Scruple of the liquor of Ophirizum or gold, and three hours after the fit, take a scruple, and that must be used a sixth time, if the Epileptic fits continued, afterwards the party will be quite rid of it.  
The last means is a most clear tincture of read Corals, at the first fit must be given to the party half a dram, and as often as the fit returneth, than this dose must be continued, and cureth this disease fully.  
I pass by here by those most excellent secrets of Gems, as of Smaragd, of Adamant, of Garnat, of Turquois, which being used, are of the same energy, and suffer no returns of the falling sickness.  
Hitherto have we handled of the four Phylacteries, or Olympic mysteries. Now we will come to the Euporistick Medicaments, and will speak of an exact Method, being grounded upon a long experimental knowledge. In the first place, to take away the causes of the falling sickness, and to keep of its returns: The party is to be purged with three grains of black Sneezwort, being taken either in small Metheglin, or in a decoction of Hypoglosson (tongwort,) being seasoned with spices. It's preparation is thus:  
℞. Of the root of black Hellebor, which bears purple flowers, being fresh and ponderous must be cut, sprinkle it or pour on it the aethereal essence of wine, distil it, the first must be gentle, than increase it by degrees, let all the liquor be drawn over; again, separate the celestial essence of wine by a gentle fire in a balmy, from the black liquor, in the liquor which remaineth in the bottom of body or glass, must be dissolved Sugar Candy as much as is sufficient: Thus our Helleborine is prepared.  
After the body is purged, there must be ministered the oil of Vitriol, being reduced into a volatile essence, which fully cureth the Epileptic distension, and bringeth the body to the pristin goodness: Which if it be not wanting, than make the olympic cret thus:  
℞. Of Hungary Vitriol lb xii. of Spodium Electum, of camphor, ana ℥ v. pour on these three the water of Paeonie seeds, gathered at the decrease of the Moon, and let these be driven by a Chemic descent, even unto read feces.  
℞. Of these read Feces lb i of distilled liquor lb two. of essence of wine, of water of Celandine, Baulm, of Germander, of Valeriana, of Plantain, ana ℥ i ss. Let these be distilled with a strong fire in a glass retort: than:  
℞. Of the read Feces lb two. of distilled liquor lb i Let these first be steeped, than distil it day and night, than cometh over together the phlegm, spirit and oil, which are thus separated: The phlegm is separated in a Balmy, the Spirit by a Seraphicum, and the read oil in an Athanor. Of the phlegm is given to young people before the fit cometh, to Aged people is given of the Spirit one Scruple; to old people is given of the oil gr iii  
That is none of the meanest Antidotes against the falling sickness, which is taught in the Stechomantia, used by some of the Sabaeans.  
℞. Of the waters of the root of Nightshade, of Winter-Cherries, of the seeds of paeony, gathered in the wane of the Moon, ana ℥ two ss. of fresh Castoreum ʒ i. of the species of Diamoschum dulce ʒ i s. of Virgin Hony ʒ two. of Anacardin Honey ʒ s. Let these be distilled in a Balmy, to which must be added, of prepared Pearls ʒ s. of the shave of the Unicorn gr. iiii. of the simple oil of Vitriol. gut. v. of Anis seed oil gr. ix. Mix these: administer ʒ i of this liquor before the fit cometh, let it be iterated for nine days together, than this horrible disease will be absolutely cured, though the party had been afflicted with it xx years.  
Moore Antiodtes can be found out for the Epilepsy by him that knoweth (indeed Physicians that will be perfect, aught to know) the Astronomical Arts, among which is numbered the Magia Teurgica, Cabala Aegyptiaca, Necromantica Orientalis, Characteristical impression or spells the Celestial Sophia, and others, not convenient to be inserted here.   
FINIS.   

The Pyricall Art for Medicinal Salts prepared Chemically; By D. George Phaedron, that Famous PHYSICIAN.  
How the Plague, that Epidomicall Discase, is cured.  
WHereas the causes and signs are conveyed into men's bodies, as it were with one fall, as daily experience showeth, and is taught by, or in the Protopyrick Art, so that by reason of your nimble and sudden quantity of destroying can hardly be allayed, here in this place, besides the ordinary method observed in cures, care aught to be had, by wise and diligent & industrious Physicians, that the coming and creeping poison be expeiled presently from the more principal members, by special and singular Antidotes; which are had against the horrible infection in the art called Oriental Charontick, Characteristic impression, the perfect medicine, the Celestial Sophy, and other Arts belonging to Mathematics. And that I might not be contrary in the cure of the Plague, which divine Science was imparted unto me, naturally being inclined, or by force of Nature in Astronomical Arts, and will in few words set down, as much as time will permit, the several cures of the said Arts, what their efficacy is against this disease. And in the first place the Oriental Charontica witnesseth to be known among the Tharsi, Alexandrini, and in our age, that the following purge, being taken at the beginning of the infection in case of necessity, never missed, so that for the present in this manner might be prepared in shops for a sovereign medicine.  
℞. Of Euphorbium ℥ i of the best Myrrh, Of the Masculine Frankincense ʒ two. of Tragacanth ℥ ss. Inclose these in brown Crude bread, let it be cocted in the Oven, this baked matter being cold, add thereunto of read Corals, of Transparent Citrin Amber, ana ʒ ss. of Unicorn horn gr i. of the Thebaic Opium ℈ ss. of the best Mosch gr. iii of Oriental Sastron ℈ ss. Make a mass of Pills in sublimed Wine, according unto Species of Diambra. If the party be of twenty years of age, let him take of it ʒ s. or ℈ two. if the party be younger, than a less quantity will serve; and if the party be stricken in years, than a greater quantity must be taken. The party must fast for five hours after the taking, and the party's stomach being somewhat recovered, let him take the following potion.  
℞. Of Philonium Persicum, or of the best Treacle ℈ i of the Spices of Gems ℈ s. of read Corals ʒ s. of read wine, in which Crude steel is quenched ℥ two. of the water of Prunella, of Baulm, ana ℥ s. Make a Potion; which expels the Plague, Pleurisy, Flux, Inflammation of the throat, and other mortal diseases, curing them radically, not suffering them to return, according to the ancient experience of the oriental Charontick.  
Secondly the Characteristical impression, before other Medicaments propounds this Electuary, one dram being by the Patient taken several times, and well covered, expels that deadly poison wonderfully by sweat and Urine, if well prepared by a good Apothecary, it will not fail in curing the pest.  
℞. Of Rhubarb ponticum, of Zedoaria, of Dictamn. Creticus, of Elicampane, of Angelica, of Cardopatia, of Magistrantia, of Valeriana, of Gentiana, of Morsus diaboli, of Tormentilla, of Pimpinella, of Bistorta, of Doronicus, of Aristolochia longa, of the herb of Paris, of Swallow-wort, of the leaves of Scordium, of Carduus Benedictus, of Rue, of Sage, of Wormwood, of the herb of Paris, of Cardiaca, of Hypoglostum, of Cordial Flowers, of Rosemary flowers, ana ʒ i of Bayberries, of the Herb of Paris, ana ℥ s. of Juniper Berry's ʒ iii of the shave of Nuces Vomicae ʒ i of Anise-seed, of Fennell seed, of prepared Coriander, of Ocimum, of Citrum, of Plantain, of Sorrel, ana ʒ s. of Aunt's eggs, living under Pinetrees ℥ s. of shaved Liquorice, ℥ i s. of Lignum Aloes ʒ i s. of Opium Thebaicum ʒ two. of Myrrh, of Frankincense, of Mastix, ana ʒ iii of Ginger, of Galanga, of cinnamon, of Mace, of Nutmeg, of Cloves ana ʒ two. of Long Pepper, of a grain of Paradise, ana ℈ iiii. of old read wine lb ss. of scummed white honey lb two ss. of Rose Sugar lb i s. make an Electuary.  
℞. Of this Electuary, of syrup of Citrum, ana lb i of Aquavitae thrice distilled lb v. Let these be infused and stand in horse dung for a month, than distil it gently in a Balmy.  
℞. Of this liquor ℥ i of the syrup of Citrus ℥ i of Vinegar ℥ s. of Rose water ℥ i s. of Aunt's eggs which are under pine trees ʒ s. of dry berries of the herb of Paris num. iii of Cordial species of Gems ℈ two. of the horn of the Unicorn, or of heart's horn, cast at the first breed gr. iii of gold leaves n. i of Saffrongr. iii of Camphore gr. i. Mingle it for a potion.  
The poison being expelled, let the party's linen be either burnt or fling into the River with his urine. This purging Electuary being taken, let the contagion be what it will, the party infected will find ease and help; Phlebotomy is not to be used, being dangerous, and other ways made use of by Modern Physicians.  
Thirdly, the Perfecta Medicina for the expelling of the Plague, the following Balsam is much commended and of great efficacy, to be made by an expert Chemist.  
℞. Of yellow Sulphur ℥ x. of Myrrh, of Frankincense, ana ʒ vi. of Aloes washed nine times in water, of Prunella ℥ i of Roman Vitriol, of prepared Salt, ana ℥ iii ss. Mix these well, sublime the Sulphur, and this sublimate must with fresh species' mixed be sublimed again, which if iterated the third time, than you have an excellent Balsam.  
℞. Of this Balfame ʒ s. of Myrrh, of Frankincense, of Austrian Sastron gr. iii of the Syrup of Citrus ℥ i of Baulm water ℥ two. Mix it.  
This potion being taken daily preserveth and cureth the Pest, without any other Medicament, cureth the desperate Pleurisy, all manner of Coughs and corruptions of Human bodies, expelling them more than is credited. But if the heavenly soul and fiery virtue be drawn from this Balsam, it is of a most noble quality against outward and inward diseases, which is much to be esteemed by a Physician: For this Mysteriam is reduced into a more excellent Medicament, a mighty treasure for all manner of men (diseased) which I speak of now, in this envious, covetous, and proud Age. Lastly, the Celestial Sophy affords a virtuous heavenly Treacle, which expels any Venom from man's body. Chemically it is prepared thus.  
℞. Of a part of man's body, cut small, of old and pure Salad oil, ana lb i s. Let it stand in putrefaction in hot horse dung for a Month, than distil it in a retort: After this distilled liquor of lb i. add of old Mithridate ℥ v. of Alexandrin Treacle ℥ iii of the most fragrant Mosch ʒ s. of Ambergrease ʒ i Mix these and let it stand in digestion for a month in hot horse dung, than distil it in a Balmy, than is your Celestial Treacle prepared.  
℞. Of the liquor of this Treacle ʒ i. of Sorrel syrup simplex. of Lemon juice, ana ℥ i s. mix these. This potion must be given three times to the party, every fifth hour, if any boil appeareth outwardly, bring it to maturity, and than open it; together with this potion and other Medicaments the olympic plaster, or our wonderful stichicum.  
℞. Of the juice of the root of the herb of Paris, of Angelica, of Atistolochia rotunda, of Asarum, of the greater Comfry, of Violaria, of the herbs of betony, of Prunells, of the lesser century, of Persicaria, of Celandine, of Pyrola, of agrimony, of Plantain, ana ℥ i of Mucilage, of Linseed, of Fenugreek, of March-mallows, ana ℥ i ss. of white wax lb ss. of Colophonie ℥ two ss. of Pitch, of Rasom, ana ℥ iii of Salad oil lb i ss. of Turpentine, washed nine times in water of Solatrum ℥ iii of Opopanax, of Serapinum, of Ammoniacum, of Galbanum dissolved. in Rose-water, ana ℥ i ss. of Citrin Amber, of Mastix, of Myrrh, of Frankinense, of Aloes washed nine times in Rose water, ana ℥ i of Styrax, of Sperma Ceti, of Terra Sigillata, ana ʒ two. of Rhubarb, of Rhaponticum, of Calamus Aromaticus, of Zinziber, of Acorns, ana ℥ ss. of the shining Peacock feathers, of Snake skins, ana ʒ two. of Antimony ℥ ss. of read Corals, of white Corals, ana ℥ i of Lethargyre lb ss. of Lapis Calaminaris ℥ two ss. of Haematires ℥ . of Magnet ℥ iii of Camphor ℥ s. of the oil of Hypericon, of Chamomill, of Anethum, of Bays, of Juniper Berries, of Eggs, of Earth worms, ana ℥ i of Spike ʒ i. of Heart's marrow, of Capon's grease, of Tithymallus, of Man's, ana ℥ i s. Boil these to a plaster according to Art.  
Thus these four Mathematic Arts, teach us to cure Pestilential diseases, and the Astronomical experience, astords no nobler thing among the simples, than the Magic stone, or Philosophic; the soul of reverberated Antimony, the diaphoretic liquor of Ophirizum, the oil of Pearls, the tincture of Gems; these alone are held the highest and only Magnalia.   

The lesser Surgery of George Phaeàron that famous Physician.  
Whereas in our age from the hands of Physicians, Surgery is fallen upon Barbers and Bathmen of no experience, the four principal parts of Physic, Philosophy, Chemistry, and Mathematic. The love unto my neighbour hath moved me, after a long experimental knowledge, to show an easier and safer way, very convenient and safe for all students in Surgery, not checking my Conscience for the doing of it.  
Therefore I will prescribe briefly and perspicuously the kowledge of all open sores and ulcers, how these methodically may be cured physically and spiritually, which not able Symptom being discovered, which daily molesteth mankind, the good of the universal Christendom, chief of the Illustrious principality of Bavaria, be promoted, where when I was a student in Arts, and was a practitioner, I was courteously dealt withal, by all manner of persons.  
There is proposed in our protopyrick Medicina, & in our daily practice, a threefold kind of open sores, w ht a cure belonging thereunto.  
First that which is hot, read, and is found about the nervous parts and passages. And that is cured with the Vincetoxicum.  
The other sort is burning, causing extreme pains, without any rednests, or in parts full of nerves. And that is cured by Centaurium Minus.  
The third and last, is accompanied with a perpetual tumour and running, this we cure with Pyrola. Thus:  
℞. Of this herb M. v. or of the root ℥ iii put in lb iii of clear and old wine, or in pure fountain water in a clean pot, luting the junctures well, set it in boiling water, let it stay there for half or a whole hour, let one moiety be boiled away.  
℞. Of this water ℥ iii with an ounce of Canary Sugar dissolved in Cinnamon water, to be given to the party affected, according to the judging of the disease, being an ordinary custom among wounded men, in what part soever of the body the Symptom be, the cure must be begun from within, and the efficacy of the inwardly taken Medicine is felt; the wound must be washed with wine, in which is boiled the herb Pyrolz, or the plaster of the powder of Pyrola must be applied: The powder and Plaster may be omitted, that the wound may be cured with one only thing.  
But in the venereal disease, if application be made in the same way, among the herbs there is none more effectual than is Hypoglossum, which prevaileth more, than may be done by anointing, fumigation, or washing means; and effecteth thus much, that none of the diseased curseth either Surgeon or Physician.  
And because these three kinds, by reason of mixed signs are hardly discerned or distinguished; therefore we may safely take our course to the preparation of the first decoction.  
℞. Of Vincetoxicum, of Centaurium Minus, of Pyrola, of Hypoglossum, ana M two. boil these after our way: The Surgeon will be eased of his daily labours, and will help the party in a sudden necessity with the following wine.  
℞. Of Hypericon, of Veronica, of Plantago Utraque, of betony, of Eupatorium, of Prunella, of Vinca per Vinca, ana M i of Pyrola Sylvatica, of the lesser century, ana M xuj. of the root of Swallow wort lb. ss of of white Sanicle, of Aristolochia rotunda, of Sow bread, ana ℥ i ss. put these herbs and roots at the time of Vintage in a pipe of new wine, let it work together for three months, than take out the herbs, separating the wine, put fresh herbs into, and for to make the Wine of an Aromatic Fragrancie.  
℞. Of Zinziber, of Calamus Aromaticus, of Cloves, ana ℥ i of Cinnamon, of Mace, of Nutmegs, ana ℥ ss. Put these into a bag, and put it into the fat. Thus you have in store a medicinal wine outwardly to wash the sores, inwardly to be used for conglutinating wounds and ulcers; the patients will commend their Surgeons for it, because they furthered thereby their cure.  
But if a Surgeon be more industrious for to make a more happy cure, by a chemical Art of a most excellent use, he may extract the essence from Imperatoria, which is of a most excellent healing virtue. Imperatoria being well purged, and being beaten with a good deal of the whitest bread, being put into a hog's bladder, well shut and tied, set deep in horse dung weekly, or at the seventh day looking to it, when it looks like purple Meath, than press it out in a press: the remainder must be digested again, and than be pressed out again.  
This viscous liquor is put in a body and digested in the Balmy for ten days, at last distil it in ashes, the oil and water comes over through the Helmet. These separate in a Balmy, with a gentle fire, than the phlegm cometh over, the essence of imperatoria remaineth in the bottom like an oil. Half an ounce of it and one scruple of salt, and three ounces of the best wine, with a decoction of any vulnerary water or juice of Plantain, being taken mornings and evenings, according as occasion serveth, and the necessity of the disease requireth, it healeth more, and agglurinateth all manner of fresh and old sores, than may be well expressed in a great volume, purging by sweat, urine, stool bleeding, and an insensible transpiration.  
That singular Arcanum is to be preferred also of Oculi Cancrorum, which by Pyrick Art for daily use, may be made thus: Pulverise subtly the Oculi Cancrorum, being calcined must be set for a month with the essence of wine in a Balmy; still it ovenstrongly six times, at last the oil must be separated from the essence of wine a sixth time in a Balmy. One scruple of this oil, with a dram of Treacle, or instilled water of fumitory, must be taken mornings and evenings, according to the condition of the disease, which expels all contrary things to Nature, by the mouth of the wound, either by running, bleeding, or other effect, not leaving the sumptome till it be cured and conglutinated. Another nobler Medicament, is a Mysterium of the essence of Tartar, the ancient Philosophers called it Ignis Adeptus, or Aqua Phlegetontica; which the Chemist prepareth thus:  
℞. Dregss of wine, or Tartar calcined in a reverberatorie lb iii imbibe it with distilled vinegar, putrify it for seven days in a Balmy, distil it as an Aquavitae in an earthen retort (body;) at last put a strong fire under it, a black liquor comes over with the wine, which must be separated in a Balmy; the remaining feces must be calcined again for 24 hours in a reverberatorie, and must be imbibed again as formerly with distilled wine, this work must be iterated as often, that all the tartareous substance be found to be consumed. Afterward those rectified liquors must be exiccated, than imbibe it with oil or spirit of Vitriol, as formetly the calcined Vitriol was, and must be separated again. One grain of this Medicine, with one dram of Mithridate ℥ i ss of distilled Succory water, as the Patient's condition requireth, often taken, extinguisheth the original and prime cause of the disease, not a cicatrice will be seen, if any impure matter be left behind.  
Here would be briefly demonstrated the true reason, whereby many could attain unto the highest Medicine of Vulcan Metamorphosis, and the tincture of fixed Gems by the help of the oil Thion, but by reason of the Philosophic fire, and of the infernal waters immense secrets, the laziness, avarice and vain honour of this age is not to be edged on.  
At last there are most excellent universals in Medicina, as the diaphoretic liquor of Ophirizon, that the soluble oil of Sol, and tincture of the read Corals, which in like manner penetrate the whole body, and bring all open and gaping sores and exulcerations to their pristine integrity and health; as is sufficiently made manifest in out celestial Medicina.  
Hitherto we treated of Physical curations, now followeth that we treat of the Heavenly, which we divide into a specifical and characteristical.  
The specifical is, which among vegetables showeth admirable effects, by a heavenly virtue of the firnament, affected with our body by a strong impression, without any preparation, separation or auction; but is instilled by God into these earthly bodies, by means of astral infivence; therefore they aught to be applied, as they are naked before our eyes.  
Hydropiper hath received a marvellous quality by the heavenly influence, which if it be green drawn through a running water, and is laid to an open wound, not longer than one may be eating of an egg, being evaporated in hot flints, and put into the earth and that be done in v. x. xv. days, as these herbs successively putrify, so the wound in that space of time healeth, and 18 cured, leaving no impediment behind. Though the wound or ulcer must be kept clean from all impurity, after these herbs are buried, however for a speedier healing, inward and outward medicaments are to be administered; of which hath been spoken.  
By a like magnetic operation, Solidago Minor, or Dracunculus doth its office, that these parts may not conglutinate and unite which Nature would have open; many attempt to cure such rashly about the legs and feet with a fearful and dangerous limping or halting, who being forged by a timorous refuge, must take their instruction from these three plants, seeking for them in Fields and Acres. But if these herbs be dry, must be macerated in their own water, and must be applied in that manner spoken of.  
This admirable potency of the Firmament, the good God hath set before our eyes to be used for other desperate diseases, as it is apparent in Hypericon, which being gathered in its constellation, and used any way, is the greatest Mysierium among the herbs, to expel Spectrums, Larves, and mad melancholy, whereby men many times fall into a phrenfie, madness and despair; among the Gems, effect the same, the splendid read Corals; among the animal, the the blood of Pickerels is of the same efficacy.  
In like manner amongst herbs, is a most noble Medicament, which is called Sydericum, if its root be put in a glass, full of water or wine, in which was hid any venom, breaketh it in pieces, but if the vessel be of Pewter or of silver, the water or wine in it gins to boil, riseth and runneth out, nothing stayeth behind: Among Metals is Numus argenreus è Mercurio uòstro confectus, being put to a dish or drinking pot, doth the same: Among the Animals Umcorxu verum doth the same, proved with a double black Taffeta.  
The like astral virtue to heal gaping sores or wounds, hath Symphitum Majus, the greater Comfry, which being drawn green through water, and applied to the wound, to let it rot there, the rotten ones must be put away, and fresh applied, healeth the wound wholly.  
Of the like praise and commendation are Althaea and Mereurialis, none of the herbs can be more wished for, either by or of the patiented, nor of the Physician; I had often experience of it made at Ratisbone the last veare, in desperate and most incurable diseases.  
This also is to be added, that always as the Comfry was rotten, the salt extracted from that herb, I dissolved in its proper distilled liquor, and purged the wound from the matter, and used the oil of Symphitum also to anoint it withal, a fresh leaf drawn through cold water, applied it to the wound, proceeding with the rest ut supra. I made use also, if necessity required it, of the essence, of this herb, separating it by circulation in a Pelican, the dose was one Scruple in strong wine.  
These virtues being joined with those of Physical and Celestial things, never any inveterate and obstinate open sore or wound hath deceived my undertake, especially when I made use of Hydropiper.  
Therefore these Magnalia endued with a Heavenly astral influence, aught not to be contemned by any Surgeon. As Chameleo Niger being gathered in the time of the operating influence, bringing to the other health, strength, and natural vigour, bestoweth by a Nymphidick reason to that, which respecteth its splendour, and so on the contrary, which is the last refuge to bring the decaying sterile stem of great houses upon another line.  
I say nothing of the Magnetic Schmaragd, not of the Electrin Pyralis, of such like marvellous thing, never any that are in Stoechomantin arts have written or published, which had not given a hint of this astral influence. For all things have their praedestinated time, either of their rising or decaying,  
The Characteristic cure is this, which upon words spoken, written or graven, exerciseth its natural potency, by the heavenly quality of the astrals and several influences, standing in affinity with our bodies, consisting of numbers, Geometrical figures, and other significations of fingers. But I omit this last part of my proposition, by reason of the great contempt of this ungrateful age, and its sinister and rash judgement, that I may not prostitute these great benefits of curing any ulcers and wounds by constellated words, into which is imprinted an influence by art. This I speak experimentally, that seven words imprinted on a golden lamin, doth actually effect, which falls according to the expectation of the patiented and Physician; and many other constellated words of vulnerated men, being heard but of one wounded afar of, without any medicament is healed, in case absent physician doth but know the absent patiented, and the cure can be performed a hundred Germane miles of. Moreover in such a cure more miraculous hidden mysteries are hid of the Patriarches, and ancient Prophets, and may be spoken of, these and such like natural secrets every perfect Physician hath need to know them. For in case of necessity, what can commend and prefer a Physician without any damage of his conscience more, than in the very moment of suffocation, by a mere speaking of five words to help a patiented, and to draw out the bones or ears without pain, sticking to the throat? Here avail nothing, the Pharmacopolian itineraries, and the crooked instruments of Surgeons, which little avail in any such sub●tanean case, because always things are made worse when such instruments were used, and the Patients are very seldom eased, unless presently great and approved secrets be in readiness to be used. What better and pleasanter thing can hap to a soldier, who is destitute of all hope and help, by the blow given to him in any hour upon any astral influence whatsoever, if by the he●p of some constellated words spoken, any crooked arrow, or other shot, or beaten into his flesh, to take it out with two fingers by the place it went in? Here is no need of cauteries or pyroteries appropriated for capacities fitted, the weapon must be drawn forth freely; neither is there any need here of section, or rather butchery, the piece of the weapon must not be turned, nor must the weapon that is in the flesh be cut or broken in pieces. What should refresh more a travelling man, if any bullet had been shot into his bladder, to get it out without pain, by some spell laid upon? Away with that tyrannical manual investigation of Surgeons; about which many of the Patients, either fall into swooning under their hands, or die quite outright. What nobler thing can be had in staunching of Bleeding or the running of the glutinous humours called Sinovia, where the total virtue of the body groweth defective, than when a wise Physician with one word wearing about his neck, without any hurt or application of any other medicaments doth stay it? Thus all such desperate diseases are cured by a characteristic way being endowed with a celestial and astral inflowing quality, which Arts by reason of ignorance of some, and the contempt of some foolish Physicians, lie hid in darkness, and these blasphemous Alastor's, will rather detract the honour from God in these high and miraculous operations of Characteristic cures, and attribute them to a bad intention, than to God who is the only effectual cause thereof. By reason of their impudence, I omit this Characteristical Art, to speak of such motions and commotions, neither will I make mention any more of the first Adam's ancient Philosophy, gotten by Semhamaphor of Rhaziell, whereby man may by a divine means, get and attain unto all, what ever his mind may desire. For whoever is a true and serious lover and defender of truth, he may find about me these Megaleia and secrets at Ingolstad; wherewith I have made several experiments in the presence of great Doct●rs, and honourable Persons, and desire these and other writings of mine to be made approved to all such which wish well unto me, upon pain of my body, honour, and the loss of my goods.  
And thus much spoken of the physical and heavenly cure of all sores, ulcers and wounds, to be begun by the centre, beseeching Surgeons, that walk on the true way, to accept of this my faithful work for the promoting of God's honour, and the good of the neighbour; and thus I pray they may construe it, till I bring forth greater and clearer matters.   

The Chemical Furnace OF GEORGE PHAEDRO. Which containeth the Compositions of the chiefest Secrets.  
GOld is broken in its Metalline Nature and malleableness by water of Salt: and this water is made by a sanguincous distilling, without addition. It is a natural salt, which we daily use at our meals. This water of Salt is washed from the Gold by sweet rainwater: The same also is distilled to the highest degree, than the tincture of Gold is detracted from the body by spirit of Wine. this is made merely of Wine, without any other addition: and the spirit of Wine is made again out of Wine, without any other addition. This is abstracted again from Gold, and thus the Gold without any addidition is graduated into a volatility, so that it may be brought into a liquor; in this manner is made also the Liquor of Corals, Pearls, and others, as also of Silver. And so there is nothing added unto such Medicines, but Salt, Wine, and Water: but not a potent Water, as some Chemists and Artists make.  

The Essence of Wine and of Herbs, from which are made Aquavitae's.  
TAke of the best read wine or Spanish wine lb viij. macerate it in a large Pelican, or Circulatorie in hot hors-dung, for 2 months, or in a Balmy for thirty days; than there will swim on the Phlegm an olagineous Liquor, which with a very gentle fire in a Viol must be so long separated coldly, till that tender and pure fatness, or the vegetable spirit of Wine come not more distilling from the Alembick; digest that again in a Balmy for xxx days. Than you have lb i. of Wine, one scruple of the Essence, the true Elixir for the prolonging of life. From that may be made golden Water, or Aquavitae: if Plants and Spices mixed with spirit of Wine be macerated for a Philosophic time; as, Melitena, Celandine, Elleborus, Rosemary, together with Cloves, Ginger, cinnamon, Nutmegs, and the like. If you proceed in this manner in the drawing of the Essence out of one pound of Hydropiper, you will get two seruples of the Essence.  
There is another more compendious way to distil by a Balmy and cold Water, with an Alembick, whose receiver hath a double neck.   

Liquor of Ophirizum.  
THe Liquor of Ophirizum, among other Secrets, is an universal medicine so powerful, that it defends the whole body, and being corrupted, restoreth it to former health: And is made thus; Ophirizum by the regal Cement, or Antimony Lamin● must be dissolved in the green Liquor of salt into a powder, which afterwards must be washed in a distilled Celestial Water, to get of all its saltness: or if you will proceed more nimbly, cement the Lamins of Ophirizum, together with Lamins of Saturn, covered for xxiv hours, than disjoin them, than is your Solar Calx prepared. Than upon the washed powder, or purged Calx pour spirit of Wine, that it stand over it six fingers breadths, and the junctures being well luted, macerate them in a Balmy for xx or xxx days; than pour forth the Citrin Liquor, leaving in the bottom a most Candid powder, and separate the spirit of Wine very subtly in a Balmy, from the yellow Liquor of Ophirizum.  
At last the extracted colour of gold must be five times driven in a Retort, than is your quintessence of Sol, or the potable gold, perfect, whose gr. iii are given in aqua Dracunculi. This Liquor of Ophirizum maketh the spirit of Wine as dead, alive, increaseth the radical Humidum, and so corroborateth the whole body, that nothing goeth beyond it. This Liquor, I say, openeth the pores, and nimbly penetrateth all the parts of the body, rectifieth the corrupted blood, consumeth superfluous humours, and confirmeth or strengtheneth universally all the Faculties and their Funictions: Lastly, by the benefit of this Ophrizum, to speak by particular of it, every intemperateness is cured, even Obstruction, Phlegmon, Tumour, Putredo, Impostume, Fever, Pest, Madness, Falling-sickness, Apoplexy, the Palsy in any part of the body, Defluxions, shortness of breath, Consumption, Pleurisy, trembling of the Heart, Colic, corruptness of the Liver, of the Spleen, the Scirrhus-arquatus, Malus-habitus, Dropsy, the Colic, the Iliack-passion, all manner of Fluxes, the Worms, Hemerods', the stone of the Kidneys and Bladder, the virulent Gonorrhes, Diabetes, Ischeria, the Rupture, the Concourse of Hysterical symptoms, the oppression of the Month, and their immoderate flowing, the Whites, the rising of the Mother, and the falling down of the womb, Sterility, all manner of Gouts, Chiragra, Gonagra, Ischias or Sciatica, Elephantia, or Leprosy, Venereal Infection, the bitings of venomous beasts, the Anthrax, Cancer, small Pox, Herpes' Exedens, Gangrene, Fistula, eating Ulcer. To speak it in a word, the Liquor of Ophirizum expelleth and cureth radically all inward Diseases of the body, and all outward ones, which any other Medicament cannot cure by reason of their extreme malignity; and the fetall necessity, being God's pleasure, do not permit their cure.   

The Oil of Pearls.  
REcip. Of prepared Pearls ℥ two. of distilled well purged vinegar lb ss. (in stead of vinegar may be used spirit of wine, one quart of it.) Macerate it in a circulatorie for a month, than the pearls do dissolve into a ponderous juice, cast of the rest of the liquor. This whole dissolved mass may be separated per alembick, in the same way as the gold was. The dose of the oil of Pearls is gr. vi. which preserveth the body in the same vigour of ill, restoreth the same to its former health; it hath not its fellow in curing of frenzy, palsy in any part, the cramp, sleepiness in old people, correcting and augmenting the milk in women, and in rectifying the seed, apostemes and eating ulcers, and hemerods.   

The tincture of Corals.  
Pour spirit of wine on subtly pulverised read Corals, the spirit of wine must stand over them a hand-breadth, and the glass being well luted must be macerated in hot horsedung for a month. Note, it must be driven six or ten times into a Receiver: but it may be prepared in a shorter way, namely, if once driven over, than let it macerate again in horse dung for a seven-night, so that it be macerated four times in one month, and be driven four times in open fire; afterwards it must be distilled ten or sixteen times according to Art. Than separate the spirit of wine in a Balmy, being poured on again six times that spirit which is distilled, than is settled to the bottom a most read and clear oil of Corals. The dose of it is one scruple, given in Succory water, in good wine, or in a decoction of Chamaedries. This soul I say, this pearl of Corals is one of the greatest mysteries in Medicina, and is our most rarest treasure whereby radically are cured all inward and outward symptoms, and the distempered body is restored to a perfect constitution. The quintessence of Corals cureth in five week's time all manner of convulsions in young and aged people, it stayeth any looseness, come it from what cause it will, in young and aged people, though it be come unto an extremity: it stauncheth blood in any part of the body, be it used any way: it stayeth the monthly courses, and reduceth nature unto a good temper, and leaveth not matter for recourse in the other parts of the body, as other medicaments usually do.  
As the oil of Corals is made, in the same manner is made also the oil of Gems, as of Smaragd, Ruby, Hyacinth, the stones of Garnets', Lycy, Cyanei etc.   

The essence of Antimony.  
THere is great store of Antimony in mines of Germany, as at Tiohtelberg, and at Plaun, a City in Bohemia; in Italy also about Massa is found some. The best Antimony is found in Carinthia, and County of Tyral; where there are golden Ours. The yellow is of the best, the next is of a Saffron colour, and the third is blackish. This among other fruits of the water, hath as many virtues and so good ones, that they scarce can be expressed by man. It hath an inward efficacity from the first Original and creation of things unto this day, and continued inviolably, neither hath the deluge ever infringed its native power, and stuck stiffly to heaven's influence to which it was enslaved. Hence our most noble subject is reduced to its prima materia, so that the fire doth glitter every way like the Aether. It taketh away the cause of any disease, and tranaformes the impure body so, that is seemeth to want nothing of its most perfect health.   

The manner of the making is thus.  
Antimony well pulverised must be reverberated for a month in a closed pot, and there breatheth forth a volatile flower which is of a white colour; than there cometh a yellow or citrin flower, after that there cometh a read and of a purple colour. Take of these read flowers two ounces, of rectified spirit of wine quart iii macerate them for twelve days in a circular Pelican, and separate them in a balmy, the essence of Antimony stayeth in the bottom, which reneweth unto man's body all his strength: The dose of it is gr. iii in Baulm water, or Celandine water, or in good wine.  
It cureth leprosy, and many other almost incurable diseases by insensibility; all diseases are cured thereby radically, and whatever distempers the body, more than any other mysterious medicines, and bringeth Microcosm to a most perfect health.   

An Arcanum of the Quintessence.  
℞. Of sulphur ℥ ss. of spirit of Wine ℥ xx circulate it for a month in the Sun, than distil it per alembick. Add thereunto of Sulphur ℥ ss. lute and macerate, and than distil it, out of these flowers you have Mumia terrae, and such a Balsam, which preserveth from putrefaction both alive and dead bodies, and protects them in that solidness, that no elemental corruption can hurt it. And for that reason the Balsam of Sulphur goeth beyond all other philosophic tinctures. It's dose is gr. v. in old white wine: And if you will make it more effectual, than take the white flowers of Sulphur gr. i. of Antimony ℥ i of oil of Gold ℥ ss. of spirit of wine ℥ v. macerate it for a month, and bring it to a hard mass: It's dose is ℥ ss.   

Mercurius dulcis.  
ARgent vive among metals is of a spenciall and admirable nature, containing a virtue of all the rest: It is good against all manner of ulcers, purging the body radically, reneweth the body, there is hardly any more estectuall mysterium, and is made thus. First, Mercury is coagulated by common Allom water, and is subtly pulverised: Than abstract from Mercury the water of the white of eggs from the moiety of its calx, and bring it to a corallin colour: It's dose is gr iii with treacle. The water of the white of eggs is made thus: The white must be distilled, and the shells of eggs must be calcined, and the water of the white of eggs is poured on the calcined shells; thus is your water of eggs prepared.   

Spirit of Vitriol.  
THat kind of salt, which the Greeks call Chalcanthum, and in Latin is called atramentum metallorum, is several, according to the diversity of Ours. Some of it is white, some is greenish, others is blue, mingled with read and yellow veins, and differ much one from another. In Germany it groweth, at Goslar in Saxony, at Cuperbach in Bohemia, at Smolnitz in Hungary, in Italy in the Mossan ground at Senensem agrum. In Cyprus the vitriol crude, the more it expels the worms, or transmuteth iron into copper, the more useful is it in Medicina and Chymia. Moreover, the secret of Chalcanthum consists of a triple matter: The preparation of it is thus. Chalcanthum being driven with a vehement fire nine times, than forced in a retort, in an athanor kept for four days and nights, than you have a most noble and most effectual spirit. Than the Cholcothar from a read viol in like manner in an athanor for three days is distilled with a forcible fire, and in the receiver you will have lb i of Colcothar, ℥ vi of read oil. From the remainder is drawn the salt, which must be dissolved four or five times, and vaporated again to a salt.   

Tartar.  
REcip. Of crude Tartar washed in wine lb iii and pulverise it, and according to the degrees of fire distil it like an aquafort, there cometh over a clear liquor and a blackish juice, each of these must be distilled apart in sand four times, the feces must be always put away: at last for the taking away its intolerable stink, it must be rectified subtly in a Pelican, than you have a well prepared liquor of Tartar, which is of that efficacy, that it penetrateth all the body throughout.  
Lastly, take of the aethereal essence of Wine, which in the circulation hath gotten a fragrancy ℥ x. of treacle ℥ v. of read Roman Myrrh ℥ two ss. of Austrian Saffron, ℥ ss. Mix and distil these, than is your Treacle water prepared. For the making of the Chalcantin Arcanum, take of spirit of Chalcanthum quart i of the liquor of Tartar quart iii Macerate these again the philosophic time: It's dose is ʒ i. to be taken in good wine. This is a divine Arcanum and Elixir, penetrateth the whole body insensibly, nimbly consuming such matters that are hurtful unto the body, especially if other peculiar things be added thereunto. If it be ministered for a month mornings and evenings, cureth the Gout, and the parts pained are to be anointed with this mixture.  
℞. Of that liquor ℥ i of Mumie quart i Mix it.   

The Philosophic Salts.  
REcip. Of the salt of Valeriana, of succory, of Chamedris, ana ℥ i of Wormwood ʒ two. of Vitriol ʒ i. of common salt lb i Mix these. Or;  
℞. Of the salt of Vincetoxicum, of black Chameleon, of Celandine, ana ℥ i of common salt lb ss. Mix these. Or;  
℞. Of the salt of Gold, of Antimony, of Melitena, ana ℥ ss. of common salt lb ss. Mix these.   

An Extract of Satyrion▪  
REcip. Of the roots of Satyrion, cleanse and beat them, temper them with a little quantity of the whitest bread, put it in a glass and lute it, macerate it in warm horse dung, take it out weekly, and when it looketh like a read cremor, press it strongly very dry; add to the remainder more bread, macerate again, press it, take out all the juice from it. This cream must be digested in a balmy for x days, and than in ashes distilled, the phlegm and oil must be driven over, which in a Balmy afterwards must be separated. The dose of the oil of Satyrion is ℥ s with one scruple of the salt of Melitena, and taken in good wine.   

Mumy.  
AS in the Macrocosm things can be transmuted by some secret or other: So of Microcosm, are things prepared which are very useful. The manner of it is  
℞. Of rectified spirit of wine lb s. of the juice of Celandine, of Melitena, ana quart i Circulate these in horse dung for twelve days, separate them in a Balmy, and having macerated it again for a month, the Mumy being mixed with it, the Mumy must be dislolved in it, separate artificially in a Balmy Lastly add to ℥ vi of this liquor, oil Turpentine, of the Turks sealed earth, of the oil of Ophirizum, ana ℥ s. Circulate it again for a month; than you have a Microcosmick Treacle of Mumie, a most rare Mysterium, very effectual against any poison. It's dose is ʒ s.   

Hermaphrodite.  
IN Chemistry is found by experience that the Hermaphrodite containeth all the virtue of the other Minerals; hence it must needs have a healing quality on man's body. Because he is nothing than the essence of Minerals; if the Anatomy of Microcosm be conferred with Macrocosm. Therefore the Hermaphrodite restoreth man's entire body, be it corrupted by what cause it will, to a most perfect symmetry, insomuch, that no perfecter medicine can be wished for to prolong the life in the a perfect health. The soul of Hermaphroditus is made thus.  
℞. Of the Mercurial essence of Cyprus. Vitriol, coagulate in its definite time of Philosophers set, than ariseth the saphirick flower of Hermaphrodite an admirable Mysterium of Macrocosm. One part of it put into 3000 parts of dissolved Ophirizum transmuteth all into its own nature; one dram of this put to a thousand drams of Copper, transmuteth it into most pure gold. So one grain of the Hermaphrodite, and one scruple of Treacle taken now and than in good Wine, restoreth a distempered body to its pristin and natural constitution; and if you apply it outwardly unto any symptom, with distilled water of Hydropiper, it is more effectual than any balsam, and cureth any symptom, sooner than other chirurgical means. This Hermaphrodite is the tincture known to those that are busied in the Chemic Monarchy, by name called the stone, its proper name is the aethereal Fire, involved infinitely in obscure riddles.  
I add this also, out of Phaedro Agrippa, the Philosopher's Stone is a secret of secrets, if you wish for happiness, that you may obtain the Philosopher's blessing; God liveth for ever. There is one object in the World for all, which properly is called of the Philosophers; in the shell stayeth the white, which containeth the read: The one is called the male, the other the female, an animal, vegetable, and mineral: It's fellow is not where found, it hath an active and passive power, a dead and quick substance, a Spirit and Soul, which ignorant men hold it a most vile thing, containeth in its bosom the four Elements, found every where, commonly had by every one, is of a small price; one pound is sold for a shilling: It voluntarily ascendeth, groweth black, descendeth and groweth white; increaseth and decreaseth; it is a thing which the earth produceth, and descendeth from Heaven; groweth pale, and groweth read; it is born and dyeth, riseth again, and liveth afterwards; hath several ways to go to its end: It's proper decoction goeth beyond that of the fire; is slow, modest, strong, and is augmented, and at last in a secure rest is it rubifyed. This according to expectation, is called the Philosopher's Stone. Read, and read it again, over and over, you will find more plain not where: If you are still dull in your understanding, than are you not fit for this Art to learn it.   

How salt of Gemm, and the water of salt is prepared.  
Salted of Gemm, the purest of all, being subtly pulverised, being put into a melting pot, and set in a wind-oven, standing in a gentle fire, let it stand on melting for three hours, if the pot holdeth so long, let it cool of itself. Pulverise this, and set it in a pot again into the Furnace; it must be iterated five or six times, and pulverise it still. Take a quantity of the juice of Radishes, as much as the salt weigheth, put some of it in a wooden dish grinned it with a spoon; that which is dissolved of the salt; thus hot, strain it. and so go on with the rest, and dissolve all the salt in this juice, and strain it: Coagulate it, or distil the water from it; pulverise it again, pour the distilled water on it; putrify it in a Balmy for six days and nights, separate the water from it by distilling, let your first fire be gentle, as you usually do at the distilling of Aquafort, let all distil over, than increase the fire, to calcine for an hour.  
This warm Salt must be pulverised, and grind it on a stone, let it dissolve on a Marble. Being dissolved, set it in a Balmy to putrify for three days; than put it in a strong body, distil it in Sand, use the degrees of fire according to Art. The remaining body being pulverised, must be dissolved again on a Marble, must be putrified as formerly, and distilled a third time: The remainder must be very subtly pulverised, put in a body, pour on it the three distilled waters, let them putrify for five days and five nights, after this, distil it again in gross Sand; at last let all come over through the Helmet, a Caput mort remaineth, which must be put away: But all the water for a day and a night to be putrified in Sand, which is separated from the substance of the Salt, than is to be distilled per Alembicum. This putrifying and distilling must be iterated a third time, than you have the water of Salt. At the putrifying and distilling, the Vessels must be well luted, that none of the Spirits get away.   

The essence of Sol.  
TAke Gold purged three times by Antimony, very tinnly laminated, or in its place, take fine Gold, put it in a bolt-head, pour on it the spiritual water of Salt, seal it Hermetically: Set it in digestion for four or five days, that they join, than open it, take of the neck in part, and set an Alembick on it, lute it well, set it so long into Ashes, apply a receiver, lute the glasses junctures very well; distil it five or six times, and when it is cold, put the Gold and all the matter in the body, into a jar glass; dulcify it with distilled rainwater from all its saltness; the Gold remaineth in the bottom like a powder, for the Salt is not turned into the Golds substance. Pour Spirit of Wine on this Alcholised Gold, not a simple Aquavitae, standing over the Gold six fingers deep, proportionably unto the Gold. Putrify it for a month in a Balmy, the Spirit of Wine drinketh the tincture of Gold, which must be put into another glass. For a further extraction, pour more Spirit of Wine on it a second and third time, let all its tincture be extracted, the body of Sol remaineth whitish and souleless: At last, separate the Spirit of Wine in a Balmy, from the form Gold, and use it according to the manner you heard of.   

A praecipitate of Sol.  
IF you intent to prepare the praecipitate of Sol, than the Gold being dulcified with distilled rainwater, and dried, than proceed.   

Spirit of Wine.  
TO make the true Spirit of Wine. Take a quantity of the strongest Wine, without any mixture, be it white or read, the white is better, leaving lesle alcoll than the read, which runneth in no other form or colour than the white doth; cause it to be distilled like an Aquavitae, either in copper or glass, distilling cool. Taste one drop or other, if it cometh weak, than take of the receiver, apply a blind Helmet to it, of a good bigness, jest the motion of the Spirits break it if too narrow; set it on three foot, let it boil for ten days. After you have opened, apply a head with a pipe, distil in a Balmy, and the Spirits come over. The manual depends from these three. The glass with the wine must not stand too deep in the water, and the ju●ctures must be well luted to keep in the Spirits, and than the Spirit must not be mingled with the burning Wine; which would easily hap, if the Balmy should be made too hot. Therefore observe the signs well: When little veins or drops appear in the Alembick, than cease, for the following is burning Wine, and the receiver must be removed.   

Salt of Wine.  
PRoceed as you heard, according to the first distilling, when all the strength of the Wine is gone, than cometh the phlegm or waterish matter, let that be evaporated in a Kettle by boiling, or if you fear the Kettle to be endangered by the fire, put the matter into a narrower vessel, and force it, there remaineth a yellow and impure substance, which must be dried, you have than a Tartar of a black colour, from which, being very subtly pulverised, and most strongly calcined, with a coal or wood fire, you can have the salt.   

Alcolised Spirit of Wine.  
AND if you will have a most strong▪ and most fully graduated Spirit of Wine, for the opening and attracting of bodies, and for gradation of forms, take of the Spirit of Wine as much as you please, dissolve its salt in it, let it stand in digestion well luted for a natural day, set it in Sand or ashes, observe the degrees of fire, apply a large receiver, pour the spirit on the salt again, this salt must be calcined again to a whiteness, pour Spirit of Wine on it, and shake it, and distil it again; weigh the Salt to see whether it lost of its ponderosity; if it be too much fixed, than putrify it in Spirit of Wine in a Balmy; lastly, distil it so long, that all the salt be gone through the Alembick; and thus you have a Noble alcolisated Spirit.   

The essence and form of herbs.  
THere is drawn from flowers and herbs a specifical true property and colour, the body not being destroyed, as Theophrastus demonstrateth in his treatise de vita longa, and elsewhere: ●f the simples are put over night in the said Spirit of Wine; if you you will separate, than do it in a wet Balmy, the form like a liquor, remaineth in the bottom.   

How the essence is drawn from herbs.  
ANY herb being first beaten in a stone Morter, together with the flowers, leaves and roots to a pap, being well luted, must stand in digestion for a month in horse-dung. Distil it dry in a Balmy; the remaining powder must be grinded upon a stone, and must be imbibed with its distilled liquor, and digest it for a fortnight. After that let it be distilled in ashes, phlegm and oil comes over together, which must be separated asunder, and the oil must be safely kept. The remaining feces must be very subtly pulverised, pour the phlegm on it, digest them for ten or twelve days in horse-dung, separate the phlegm in sand. The remaining black powder must be albifyed in a reverberatorie, pouring on it its phlegm, and extract its salt.   

Diaphoretic Gold.  
Which purgeth the blood, and the marrow in bones and the whole body. Draw the read colour from the read Mercury, being prepared with the water of eggs by the said Spirit of Wine, as you heard above: Put an equal quantity of the soul of Gold, let it stand in putrefaction to be purged, than separate the liquor from the Spirit of Wine: the dose of it is gr. iij vel iiij. to be taken in Malmsey, for three days together fasting. Theophrastus saith, that this liquor cureth the Leprosy, contractures, and purgeth the blood mightily. Moore of this I spoke in the administration of Magna Chirurgia.   

Of Mumy.  
REcip. Of well cut Mumy, put it into a Retort well luted, adding thereunto a like quantity of Salad oil for a month. the Retort being taken out, than cut some of the nose of it, set it in sand, lute a receiver to it, and drive the stinking Mercury into it. Than set it in a place, where the people of the house may not be annoyed, into a Balmy for five or six days; thus the residue of the Mercury will vapour away, in that warm Balmy. Cant of the liquor, the part indissolved is to be kept in the Balmy: Mix with it ℥ vi of Treacle, of the best Mosch ℥ i and keep it in the Balmy, or in hot ashes in a Furnace for a month.   

Turbith Minerale.  
I had two ways to prepare the Mineral Turbith, first if the water of eggs from their calx be often digested and distilled, attracteth its sweet volatile salt, and by this evasion it deserved among the ancients the name of Corrosivum dulee, mortifieth Mercury, and rubifyeth like Corals, its digesting and distilling being repeated: From this read Mercury can be drawn its essence by the Spirit of Vitriol, extracting it as long as the Spirit takes any tincture from it, which may be done at the xv or xuj iteration: The remaining Caput mort must be put away.  
The second way differs from the first. Put a strong Aquafort upon two parts of tyle-meale, and add one part of salt, distil it; the Aquafort will be as read as a Ruby, which must be abstracted to a third part from Mercury by a strong fire, and the Mercury must be grinded on the Marble twelve times, and than distilled, being distilled must be digested from its calx with water of eggs, and being often distilled, than your Turbith Mineral is prepared.  
℞. Of this Turbith gr. v. Mix it with one ounce of the juice of Roses, to be taken before supper, morning's fasting gr. iiii. by night four grains are to be taken. If it causeth any spume in the mouth, and the Patient falls into spawling, than add to it, somewhat of Vitrum of Antimony, or of its reverberated powder; than a gentle purging it will give. After that must be githe quantity of a Hasell nut of Theriaca Alexandrina, and make the Party sweat. These Patients may use also the following Gargarism.  
℞. Half a quartern of burning Wine, of Sugar candy ℥ i small pulverised, add one spoonful of the best Honey, mix these and make a Gargarism, as long as the Turbith is used, nothing aught to be applied to the wound or ulcer, but this following plaster, neither aught it to be used above three times the Turbith, and its operation is to be waited for.  
℞. Of Bdellium, of Serapium Colatum, ana ℥ i of Frankincense, of Mumy, ana ℥ iii of Wax lb i. of Colophonia ℥ vi. Make these to an Oppodeldoch, according to Art, it will purify the more, if one dram of our Turbith Mineral be mingled.  
Turbith Mineral being ministered with Spirit of Tartar, provoketh sweeting in the bed, and draweth plisters and the like outwardly.   

Alcool Vini.  
ALcolisated wine, Centrated Wine, Essentificated Wine with Alcool, Alcool of Wine, Essatum Vinum, Esse vini is as much as Essentificatum: That is, when the essence of Wine comes over by distilling, than its phlegm remaineth in the bottom like the dregss of Honey; which if they have any Empyreuma or fieriness, the phlegm must be poured on again, and is to be separated till the phlegm be gone from the essence. Than pour the distilled essence of wine on the phlegmes, and separate it by distilling, which must be iterated so often, till the feces sticking to the bottom be white glittering, which are Theophrastus his Alcool Vini, Sal Vini, or Vinum Alcolisatum.   

Oleum Auri sive Axungia.  
THeophrastus calls it Axungia, or butter of Sol, to be taken inwardly for the Fistula or Cancer, and outwardly to be used for an ointment: It's preparation is thus. Pour on the filings of gold, oil of Mastix, which having stood in digestion a month in horse-dung, wash it of from the oil with warm water; let it stand again in digestion in Spirit of Wine for ten or twelve days, the Spirit being separated, you found an oleaginous matter in the bottom, like unto butter. Take some drops of it at the beginning, in a vehicle.   

The Spirit of Tartar for sweeting.  
LET the Tartar be well purged and washed in Wine, dry it and pulv●rise it, put the glass with it into a wind-Furnace, distil per Alembic, as the oil of Mastix is distilled, there comes over a thick matter, of colour and fragrancy like a Treacle.   

The oil of Saturn and its Salt.  
LEad in the first place is to be calcined, thus. Set a glazed pan over the fire, put the lead into it, calcine it, stirring it with a spatule, at first it will look blackish, than yellow, at last it is of a read colour, pour distilled Vinegar on it, two fingers breadth standing over it. Boil it a little, when the scum riseth, than took it of the fire, and let it settle gently, and cant of the Vinegar into another pot, from the calcined Saturn. New Vinegar must be poured on the Lead, and this must be iterared as long as there is any sweetness in the Lead. These being done, let the gathered matter or a cetum be settled in the Balmy; let the Vinegar be gotten of, there remaineth a sweet Purple body in the bottom. To this matter, pour the Heavenly water, and let it boil, it will cast a white scum, which must be taken of, as long as there ariseth any, cast away the remaining purple-dregs in the bottom. The of taken scum must be put in a Balmy, either to be vapored away or distilled, it leaveth a dry and whitish body in the bottom of the glass, which must be dissolved in some noble Aquafort, and be separated three or four times in a Balmy, where you will behold a fair dissolution; on this matter pour again the distilled rain-water separate the same in a Balmy, this must be iterated as long as there is left any acrimony of the Aquafort, you will see a white transparent matter, the true and sweet salt of Saturn, being put into a Cellar, or any wet place, will dissolve into a water or oil, whereby outward and desperate sores or cancrous ulcers are healed, and is an approved medicine.  
Dr Daniel in his time, used only Led dissolved in Aquafort, which he dulcified with fountain water: An effectual remedy ad ulcera Cacoethe, linen being dipped into, and put into the places, using only the water, not meddling with the powder of the Lead in the bottom.   

The essence of Antimony.  
CRude Antimony being reduced into a most subtle Alcool, put it into a Retort, evaporate it in the degrees of reverberation, than seal it, and let it reverberate gently, provided it do not melt. The venemour humour and Sulphur being evaporated, when it looks like a cinericious powder, than the middle degree of fire is to be used for eight or ten days continually. Than use such a degree of fire to it, that the Antimony look of a purple coloured powder. Take of this reverberated Antimony ℥ two. as much of circulated Aquavitae, that it stand over it six fingers. Let it be digested in a well luted circulatory for twelve days, than at the distilling in a Balmy separate it, than the Aquavitae will be tinged, which is the true essence of Antimony. The dead powder of it stayeth in the bottom: It's dose is ʒ i more or less.   

The use of the essence or tincture of Antimony  
THree grains of it taken in Wine, cureth the Quartan, and all manner of Agues. Mr Thomas hath cured with it two Patients of the Dropsy, ministering two or three drops, mornings in white Wine; it giveth three or four stools, penetrating and searching the whole body: It causeth a faintness to the Members for an hour or upward, but after that, it restoreth strength unto them; if there be any tumour within, dissolveth the same by sweat and urine. It disperseth the Hydropic humour diaphoretically. An excellent remedy for bringing down the Courses, curing the jaundice and Colic. He used successfully to boys of three or four years old; also the Quartane and Tertian Ague he prosperously cured with it. It is a rare medicine against the Venereal disease, cured four such Patients with it. He cured a woman with it which had the foul disease seventeen years, having had eleven such tumors in the head, two in the arms; these were dissolved only by the oil of it. The tincture of Antimony is used against the venereal Itch and Scabs. The Patient aught not to come into the air, must be kept warm, and not walking abroad. He cured the Scropula, which posssest the whole Face; thus: He purged the Party several times with Vitrum Antimonii: after that, he caused a decoction to be made of wine, in which was Vincetoxicum, both Centories, Sanicle, and sometimes Pyrola: The potion being strained, he applied the roots warm in bags, and thus did he restore that Patient.  
He restored one Woman with the essence of Antimony, which was troubled with three and twenty open fores in her Legs, as relics of the venereal disease.  
Phaedro made use of Vitrum Antimonii twice on a most desperate Hectic Fever. He that maketh use of the essence or of Vitrum of Antimony, let him avoid the air.  
He cured a Ploughman with Vitrum of Antimony, which was much molested with corrosions, expelling a great worm, 124 and little ones.  
He cured another thus: He ministered unto him sixteen times of that Vitrum, who had two hundred holes between the Knee and the Knockle, purging him first downward, than by vomiting, taking away all the pains, only with calcined Vitriol, and a mundificative unguent.  
This Phaedro hath cured also one that was troubled with the Gout, and another Woman, with the same Antimonial essence, out of whose skull there grew scales. He cured also two desperate Hectic Fevers, and some that had the Quartan Ague. And so it cureth Imposthumes, and malignant excrescencies, worms, the Gout, venereal pains and tumors, the Hectic Fever; and the quartan.   

Theophrastus' his Laudanum Opianum which he made use of against all manner of Agnes, as a Specificum.  
Phaedro his is this.  
REcip. Of the best Opium Thehaicum, being cut ʒ two. of Mumy gr. iii of the juice of the root of Hyosciamus ʒ i which must be gathered when Sol and Luna enter Libra, which is eight or five days before St john's day.

℞. Of Species of Diambra ℥ i ss of Wine rectified five times lb i Let these also be digested at the Sun for fourteen days, shaking it daily three or four times; than pour some read clear Wine on the prepared Opium, make it to a pap, and than digest it again for three days in the Sun, being well stopped, and than let it be exiccated. Than make it to a more thick mass on a Marble, with a little of the said Wine, unto which you must add of prepared read Corals, of prepared Citrin Amber, ana ℈ i of the best Mosch or Amber gr. iii of Camphore gr. seven. of oriental Saftron ℈ i Let small Pills be made of it, minister seven of them in ʒ two. of Wine, to be swallowed; if the pain be vehement, minister seven about six of the clock, about nine, five, about four of the clock, four of them to be taken in Wine. they admirably assuage all pains, and are ministered in all violent diseases for to preserve and to heal.  
Note, Laudanum always doth its work in six hours' time, which maketh the Patient to sleep for an hour; if there be any further use of it, than allow to its operation six hours.   

The oil of Realgar, or of Arsenic and its use.  
REcip. Of Realgar as much as you please, which is penderous and white, grind it small on a stone, add to it purged Sal-niter, let it dissolve on coals, the first fire must be gentle, that all venomous fumes may vapour away, and the matter of it be burnt. Being burned throughly, than increase the fire for four or five hours, let the Arsenic be like melting butter, all its venomous quality flieth away, and a fixed Realgar will be. Let it be in a Cellar on a Marble, distilling into a receiver, which is the fixed oil of Arsenic. Of this Theophrastus made use of very much, it may be better rectified, as the oil of Sol, if made in a Retort, being poured on hot or heated Tiles. Outwardly Ulcers are anointed with all, and new Pocky sores, twice or thrice at the most: it maketh them run as long as there is any cause for it; which cause being consumed, the ulcer gets an Eschara, which must be anointed with the following butter of Sol, falls of, not leaving any mark or read spot. If any such sore is to be anointed with this oil, than the next place or skin to it is to be anointed also.   

The Butter of Sol ad AEscharum.  
REcip. Of fresh May butter, as much as you please, pour it boiling into water of Bean flowers, or the decoction of Lupini, Solomon's seal. Quench it thus a third time, it will be very white and fair: Use it as you heard.

REcip. Of the best blue Hungarian Vitriol sixteen lb. put it into a glazed pot, pour on it clear Fountain or distilled rainwater, boil away a third part of it, filter or strain it into a jar-glasse, set this strained liquor into a moist sand to crystallizing, pour the water on again, let it boil as formerly, iterate it so long as any Crystals will shoot, than all its venomous quality is gone. In like manner let the pulverised Salt-Niter be dissolved, and be purged, as you heard about the Vitriol.

Of this Aquafort ℥ two or ℥ two ss dissolve it in the thinnest Lamins of fine Lune ʒ two. which being dissolved, put it altogether into a glass; the feces of it being settled, cant of the water, let none of the matter come after. Thus is the Aquafort purged. Of this Aquafort lb i. in which dissolve one grain of the salt Ammonick, prepared afore, distil it gently in a Balmy, than you have the prepared Arcanum Regis, or T R.   

4. Purgation of Mercury.  
Pour hot water on calx vive, shake it, cool and settle, filtrate the water, and distil it hot into Flint-ashes, which if this be settled, than filter it. In this lie made of Calx vive, and ashes of Flints, Mercury must be boiled a sixth or seventh time, and that which boileth away, must be applied with fresh Lixivium. In like manner let Mercury be boiled a fourth time in salt and distilled Vinegar, so that the salt be covered with blackness, and the Vinegar being evaporated, fresh Vinegar to be poured on: At last let it be washed a third time with hot water, and dried, than it is fit for subliming, praecipitating, and for other businesses.   

5. Purgation of Antimony.  
REcip. Of powder of Antimony, of purged Sal-Niter, of Calcined Tartar ana lb ss. Melt it; thus melted, cast it into horn, which being cold, take of the Regulus, it breaketh freely.

3. ℞. Of purged Mercury ℥ iii dissolve it in a well luted glass body upon warm ashes, pouring on it one pound of Aqua Regis. Put these three dissolutions into a well luted cucurbit, still it a sixth or seventh time in hot sand per Alembicum; that which is distilled must always be put on again. At last increase the fire, and let all come over. Than take out the remaining matter, and reduce it to an Alcohol on a stone, and reverberate it under a muffle, rule it with a gentle fire; the Mercury will look black, and than of several colours. Continued the reverberation, and rubifye it, and let all the spirit of Aqua Regis be gone. Than wash it with warm water, to take of all its saltness. Pulverise this Mercury well, pour on it of the best rectified spirit of Wine, let it stand over it three fingers; Standing in a warm place for three days, and shake three times a day, than separate it.  
At last pour on the pulverised Mercury of the best distilled Rose-water, aromatized with Mosch, let it stand also in a warm place for three days, shaking it thrice a day, separate gently unto a dryness, it will be a concin precipitated Aquila, alias, a purging mercurial essence.    

R●beds of Antimony.  
FIrst, let the Tartar be well calcined, to acquire to it an acrimony; than let it be dissolved in warm water. Pour out the water, the earth will settle to the bottom: If any acrimony should yet be in the Tartar, than pour water on again, which being separated must be put to the other; which must be continued as long as there is any acrimony in it: Put away the dead earth. These gathered waters must be boiled away, there remaineth a sharp and fiery salt in the bottom.  
℞. Of this salt ℥ iii boil it in a pint of water, put to it of crude Antimony ℥ ss. boil it well in a pann, as hard eggs are boiled, and the water be clear: If the matter congealeth, looking like a read jelly; put to it a sufficient quantity of distilled Vinegar, separate the Tartar and all malignity of Antimony from the redness, and dissolve it. That redness of Antimony settleth to the bottom, Filter it is paper, the redness of Antimony abides about the Paper. dulcify this redness by pouring on warm water, and take of all superfluous impurities, let it settle, the redness being on the bottom, separate the water. Than exiccate on quick coals: its dose is half a grain.   

Of the oil of wax, which is like a Balsam in curing of wounds.  
REcip. Of new odoriferous wax lb two. melt it in a pan gently, than put it into another vessel filled with the best wine, and very hot, let it be cold, gather it with your hand, and press it hard, melt it again; and thus hot pour it in Wine, and thus do seven times. The last time being melted, add of tile-meal M. iii Mingle it well being cooled, put it in body with an Alembick, lute it well, that nothing may expire. The lute being dried, set it in a sand capel, make a gentle fire under it for nine or ten hours. At first there comes over a phlegmatic water of a citrin colour, when it hath done distilling, remove the receiver, keep the Citrin-water safe in a glass: Than apply another receiver to the Alembick, and increase the fire by degrees: At first the drops fall muddy, which being settled in the receiver, congeal like butter, or a jelly. At last the following drops look of gold colour, which congeal not, but keep in a liquid substance. At the sight hereof change your receiver, that these golden drops be not mingled with the other, and must be received apart. And this is the true oil of wax, which keeps liquid for aye. Continued your distilling with the fire increased, which forcing fire must be kept for eighteen hours. At last more muddy drops will fall, which when you see it, than change your recever presently to receive the feces, which are liquid also.   

A dissolved Unicerne.  
TAke prepared Pearls, pour on them Vinegar, seven times distilled our way, and dissolve in hot ashes. Abstract afterwards the Vinegar in a Balmy, and if but few Pearls, put them in a jar-glass, and evaporate in warm ashes, afterwards pour on rainwater once distilled, and evaporate, continued it, till the water and sour taste be gone. At last, dissolve this powder of Pearls with rectified Spirit of Wine, and make use of it.   

Acetum Philosophorum.  
REcip, lb viij. of the best Vinegar, distil lb iiii of it per Alembick; add to these quart i. of purified Salniter, let the Salniter be well dissolved in it, than distil in Sand strongly, that the Spirit may ascend and mix with the Acetum. Take of this Acetum as much as you will, add Bugloss to it, called otherwise the herb of Paris P v. put it in a viol, add to it well washed Mercury P i set it in digestion for xuj days or more, you shall see the effect. This Acetum dissolveth ●l.   

Narcotick and diaphoretic Antimony.  
REcip. Of Antimony lb i as much of purged Sal-Peter, calcine it circularly in a high pot, increasing the fire by degrees for three of four hours; than calcine again with Salniter, for some hours give a very strong fire, that the pot be read hot. Take out the Antimony, beaten it, dissolve it in water, if any of the salt be left, filter and keep it back, and wash it. Dry the remainder, and reverberate for some four hours, than you have a very white powder: It's dose is from gr. two. to seven or ix. exceeding effectual in Tertian and Quartan Agues.   

Tartar.  
THE liquor of Tartar and its Succus is thus separated: The Tartar is washed several times in common warm water, leaving no impure dregss in it, at last it must be washed in warm Wine; it must be dried at the Sun, and reduced to a powder, put it in a glass, lute it and distil in open fire; the junctures of the glasses must be well guarded, and the receiver must be very large. The first liquor that comes, is stinking, which is rectified in a cellar in wet sand, and the succus is rectified with distilled Vinegar in a retort in open fire. Than draw it with the the Acetum, the drops come either read or citrin, according as the Tartar was, which in a funible must be separated, and thus the Acetum receiveth the Empyreuma into the oil, and the oil succeedeth in a golden colour without any stink. Use:  
℞. Of this Preparatum ℥ i of the voluble oil of Vitriol ℥ iii of aromatized Aquavitae, ℥ v.  
These, being mixed, are circulated for a month; it is given in Wine ʒ. i or more, according to the persons condition.  
Tartar cureth the Lues Venerea, the obstructions in guts, the rising of the mother by sweeting, and all other evils.   

Liquor of Tartar.  
BEing given daily three times, is very good in the Palsy, it penetrateth the whole body, strengtheneth the same, which aught to be in this disease.

REcip. Seeds of Ebulus well cleansed lb iii or iiii, beat them well in a Mortar, bring all into a paste, put it into a Kettle, add a sufficient quantity of River water to it, let it stand infused for 24 hours, than boil it, let your first fire be gentle, and increase the fire by degrees, continued the boiling of it, that all the scum be gone: This scum must be gathered with a skimmer, and all the oil swimming on it: All this you put into a long glass, let it settle, thus warm for two or three days, there appeareth a green transparent oil, unctuous, settled to the bottom under that scum, and if the oil do not separate well from the scum, than take it together, mingle it in warm water, let it boil a little; afterwards put it in a glass, within few days the oil will settle, take of the scumm warily, and gather the settled green oil, and set the scum apart, let it yield the oil it hath among it. Use of this oil a little quantity against all manner of pains caused by a cold distemper, in nervous symptoms and Arthritick pains. The manner of its use is: Take six or seven drops of this oil, apply it warmed to the place affected, than presently the sharp pains will be allayed.    

The judgement and expeperience of Doctor GEORGE PHAEDRO of Rodoch, in some Chemical Medicaments.  

In the Herculean disease or Epilepsy.  
I used against this disease the sweet oil of Vitriol, per se without any other addition, very successfully. For the Dropsy I used the rectified essence of Hellebore.  
Against Consumption, a dissolutum of Pearls of the Indian oysters.  
Against the Stone I used the atereall juice of Crystals.  
Against barrenness, the read extract of Satyrium of Erithonzum.  
Against the venereal disease, the sweet oil of Mercury. Against the Gout, Phaedro did use that excellent and noble Corallois, that is, the Chemical Hermaphrodite, and took it three times inwardly, and caused himself to be anointed with the rectified Spirit of Tartar, and made it penetrate: In a fortnight's space he was healed. He was than also troubled with a great swelling in his legs, accompianed with a fervent redness. Against Cancer he used butter of Saturn, Against the Cramp and great Convulsions. He cured one, who was tormented with a running pain of his members, with a purple coloured tumour joined, running from one place into another, he used no other medicament, than twice the sanguine essence of Antimony. The Patient was recovered the fifth day.   

In contractures and Consumption.  
FOR the expelling of these diseases he ministered the sweet dissolution of Microcosm, ministering they inwardly ten times, outwardly he anointed the party with Badgers grease, mixed with the Philosopher's oil. These parties were cured within three weeks.   

Against the Imposthume in the head.  
IN this occult disease, which puts the Physician to great troubles, he gave to take of Ophirizum, which being taken, a Histericall obstruction was opened, and the Imposthume of the head broken; the patiented was healed in a month's time.   

Against the Venereal disease and Pox.  
ONE was molested with such a Pockiness, whose teeth were lose, and troubled with great pains in the joints, the joints began to look black, full of scabs and contractures. He cured the party with the oil of Mercury, mixed with man's grease, and the oil of Arceutides, with this every other day he anointed these Knots; and he anointed or rubbed the teeth with the aromatized Oleum Moschocarium or of Mules. in fourteen days the party was recovered unto health.   

Against the Dropsy.  
When I intended to cure this disease with Catarcticum Mercuriale, and to strengthen the Patient, I restored the Patient very well with distilled water of cinnamon, which came over in xxiv hours' time, or the Diacubebe of Seplasii, which was ministered in Rhois of the most virtuous and much praised essence of Gold in Wine of Pomegranates.   

Against the gripe and torments in the belly.  
HE used the anodin Sulphur, of the Vitriol of Venus and Mars, reduced unto a more sublime degree.   

Against the Jaundice.  
IN this disease my Panchimagogum is of great efficacy, the extract of Rhubath, the Spirit of Tartar: The Stygian liquor: All which are singular mysteries for this disease.   

Against Ulcers and open sores.  
THE sweet oil of Saturn, with Caphuncleum.   

Against excrescencies of the body.  
AGainst the great scales and excrescencies of the body, which attract to them almost all the alimentary, substance, whereby the body cometh into decay, he used the ointment oh … ilum of A … an●…um Asbestinum, or … choice, joining thereto Chalcanthum, anointed, and tied to the places.    
FINIS.
