A55298	Novum lumen medicum wherein the excellent and most necessary doctrine of the highly-gifted philosopher Helmont concerning the great mystery of the pholosophers sulphur. is fundamentally cleared by Joachim Poleman. Out of a faithful and good intent to those that are ignorant and straying grom the truth, as also out of compassion to the sick. Written by the authour in the German tongue, and now englished by F.H. a German.	Poleman, Joachim.; F. H.	1662 (1662)	Wing P2748; ESTC R218989	75,233	217

he_o have_v the_o true_a aurum_fw-la potabile_fw-la but_o the_o matter_n be_v clean_o otherwise_o for_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a solution_n of_o metal_n the_o one_o friendly_a and_o natural_a the_o other_o violent_a the_o former_a be_v fundamental_a and_o radical_a and_o the_o solvent_a and_o the_o solutum_fw-la can_v never_o be_v more_o sever_v asunder_o but_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a similitude_n of_o both_o their_o nature_n they_o twane_o come_v to_o be_v one_o and_o remain_v also_o unchangeable_o and_o unseparable_o one_o but_o in_o this_o viz._n in_o the_o violent_a solution_n it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o although_o it_o have_v some_o semblance_n of_o a_o radical_a solution_n yet_o the_o event_n do_v show_v that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o difference_n betwixt_o this_o and_o the_o other_o and_o that_o they_o be_v as_o unlike_a unto_o one_o another_o as_o the_o substance_n itself_o and_o the_o shadow_n of_o the_o substance_n in_o regard_n that_o in_o this_o the_o solvent_a may_v be_v thorough_o separate_v from_o the_o solutum_fw-la by_o art_n and_o the_o solutum_fw-la be_v melt_v by_o a_o strong_a fire_n will_v return_v to_o be_v what_o it_o be_v before_o it_o suffer_v that_o violent_a solution_n but_o in_o the_o other_o viz._n in_o the_o natural_a solution_n not_o only_o the_o solvent_a can_v never_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o solutum_fw-la but_o also_o the_o solutum_fw-la in_o this_o solution_n become_v always_o more_o precious_a more_o noble_a more_o excellent_a and_o far_o high_a in_o its_o virtue_n than_o it_o be_v before_o but_o in_o the_o violent_a solution_n the_o solutum_fw-la remain_v in_o its_o former_a nature_n and_o substance_n and_o be_v only_o fit_v for_o the_o true_a essential_a natural_a and_o radical_a or_o fundamental_a solution_n and_o because_o this_o be_v a_o high_o necessary_a nodus_fw-la enodandus_fw-la in_o regard_n that_o almost_o all_o tyrones_n chymiatriae_n be_v seduce_v and_o shameful_o deceive_v in_o this_o that_o they_o count_v violent_a solution_n for_o to_o be_v natural_a and_o so_o delight_v themselves_o and_o acquiesce_v therein_o think_v then_o to_o have_v already_o apprehend_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o

business_n clear_o and_o naked_o to_o the_o end_n that_o the_o desirous_a seeker_n of_o truth_n may_v be_v no_o more_o gull_v by_o the_o deceitful_a seduce_a lie_v and_o paint_a process_n wherewith_o all_o common_a chemical_a book_n be_v fill_v up_o and_o abound_v and_o by_o the_o searcher_n of_o nature_n with_o great_a expense_n be_v try_v in_o vain_a but_o that_o they_o may_v open_v their_o eye_n themselves_o and_o begin_v to_o see_v with_o their_o own_o eye_n and_o right_o ponder_v and_o examine_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n they_o be_v about_o and_o so_o work_v according_a to_o the_o whole_a nature_n and_o not_o credit_v so_o light_o hereafter_o those_o sweet_a lie_a promise_n of_o boast_a author_n nor_o spend_v their_o precious_a time_n hard_a labour_n and_o great_a cost_n upon_o they_o to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o the_o truth-desirous_a reader_n may_v so_o much_o the_o better_o comprehend_v and_o acknowledge_v this_o high_o necessary_a ground_n i_o will_v lay_v it_o down_o unto_o he_o by_o compare_v two_o sort_n of_o solution_n such_o as_o be_v of_o a_o quite_o different_a nature_n and_o first_o let_v he_o consider_v the_o solution_n of_o the_o copper_n by_o the_o double_a or_o satiate_v spirit_n whereof_o i_o have_v teach_v in_o the_o former_a chapter_n where_o not_o only_o the_o metal_n viz._n copper_n be_v dissolve_v soft_o gentle_o sweet_o without_o any_o ebullition_n in_o its_o double_a menstruum_fw-la but_o also_o afterward_o so_o intimate_o adhere_v thereunto_o that_o it_o go_v over_o together_o with_o it_o in_o form_n of_o a_o very_a volatile_a spirit_n which_o may_v seem_v therefore_o unto_o the_o ignorant_a to_o be_v a_o natural_a and_o for_o the_o future_a inseparable_a solution_n in_o regard_n that_o it_o be_v do_v friendly_a and_o prove_v inseparable_a from_o its_o solvent_a for_o that_o the_o solutum_fw-la according_a to_o outward_a appearance_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o singular_a harmony_n and_o likeness_n betwixt_o they_o deny_v its_o solvent_a on_o high_a and_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o this_o be_v such_o a_o nice_a matter_n as_o that_o it_o may_v fool_v not_o only_a tyrone_n but_o also_o those_o who_o conceit_n to_o have_v experience_v and_o try_v a_o great_a deal_n into_o a_o belief_n that_o this_o so_o spiritual_a and_o volatile_a metallick_n vapour_n be_v the_o true_a quinta_fw-la essentia_fw-la whereas_o experience_n show_v to_o the_o contrary_a that_o if_o this_o pretend_a quinta_fw-la essentia_fw-la metallica_fw-la be_v throw_v upon_o mercury_n all_o that_o be_v metallick_n separate_v itself_o from_o the_o solvent_a and_o be_v put_v into_o a_o melt_a fire_n turn_v again_o to_o such_o a_o metal_n as_o it_o be_v before_o whence_o the_o reader_n plain_o see_v that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o semblance_n of_o a_o essential_a or_o radical_a solution_n and_o that_o not_o the_o least_o change_n or_o exaltation_n happen_v unto_o the_o metal_n unless_o that_o by_o a_o artificial_a hand_n it_o be_v preserve_v in_o its_o solubility_n so_o that_o it_o return_v not_o to_o its_o former_a compactness_n as_o hereafter_o shall_v be_v teach_v now_o on_o the_o other_o side_n let_v the_o seeker_n of_o truth_n look_v upon_o sulphur_n how_o the_o same_o be_v unlock_v in_o distil_a oil_n do_v turn_v outward_o its_o inmost_a red_a tincture_n and_o so_o be_v open_v to_o the_o very_a centre_n and_o inmost_a root_n and_o then_o how_o firm_o those_o two_o not_o only_o cleave_v together_o insomuch_o that_o they_o both_o turn_v to_o be_v one_o but_o also_o never_o no_o not_o by_o any_o manner_n of_o way_n can_v again_o be_v part_v asunder_o yea_o this_o be_v not_o all_o but_o the_o sulphur_n become_v ten_o time_n more_o precious_a excellenter_n and_o more_o powerful_a in_o its_o virtue_n than_o it_o be_v before_o all_o which_o you_o may_v experiment_n thus_o take_v common_a sulphur_n or_o else_o the_o combustible_a sulphur_n of_o antimony_n or_o of_o any_o other_o subject_n and_o dissolve_v it_o in_o a_o distil_a oil_n so_o that_o the_o oil_n turn_v very_o thick_a or_o blood-red_a put_v this_o solution_n into_o a_o retort_n and_o draw_v the_o oil_n over_o very_o gentle_o and_o it_o will_v come_v over_o clear_a and_o white_a and_o when_o none_o more_o will_v come_v over_o clear_a then_o increase_v the_o fire_n strong_o and_o at_o length_n come_v the_o last_o oil_n and_o carry_v along_o part_n of_o the_o dissolve_a sulphur_n like_o a_o red_a oil_n then_o pour_v the_o first_o clear_a oil_n that_o come_v over_o first_o again_o upon_o the_o remain_a dark_n brown_a substance_n cohobate_v the_o same_o from_o it_o again_o and_o repeat_v the_o same_o so_o often_o until_o most_o of_o all_o your_o extract_n be_v come_v over_o and_o all_o your_o oil_n be_v distil_v over_o very_o red_a and_o rich_a of_o the_o tincture_n and_o your_o solvent_a and_o solutum_fw-la will_v be_v so_o unite_v that_o by_o no_o art_n they_o be_v to_o be_v part_v asunder_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o likeness_n of_o their_o substance_n so_o delight_v in_o each_o other_o and_o so_o intimate_o be_v unite_v together_o that_o they_o both_o be_v come_v to_o be_v one_o substance_n and_o so_o either_o both_o flee_v together_o away_o be_v drive_v by_o the_o force_n of_o fire_n or_o else_o by_o discreet_a way_n may_v be_v fix_v together_o into_o a_o permanent_a substance_n yea_o not_o only_o be_v they_o impartible_a but_o also_o the_o dissolve_a and_o volatilise_v sulphur_n be_v of_o far_o great_a power_n and_o efficacy_n in_o physic_n than_o before_o as_o daily_a experience_n may_v teach_v every_o one_o and_o although_o this_o solution_n of_o sulphur_n in_o oil_n be_v not_o proper_o a_o philosophical_a solution_n but_o only_o the_o ground_n and_o right_a source_n of_o the_o same_o yet_o it_o be_v sufficient_o demonstrative_a and_o therein_o as_o in_o a_o true_a pourtraicture_n the_o essential_a radical_a and_o natural_a solution_n of_o the_o wise_a may_v be_v represent_v and_o compare_v with_o the_o other_o violent_a solution_n to_o the_o end_n that_o by_o compare_v together_o these_o two_o different_a solution_n the_o truth_n of_o the_o business_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a viz._n that_o although_o the_o forementioned_a solution_n of_o the_o copper_n resemble_v much_o to_o a_o radical_a solution_n of_o the_o metal_n as_o agree_v with_o the_o natural_a and_o true_a solution_n in_o these_o two_o point_n that_o the_o solution_n of_o the_o metal_n be_v do_v gentle_o sweet_o and_o without_o ebullition_n and_o than_o that_o the_o
