be_v better_a than_o the_o regulus_fw-la itself_o then_o be_v bring_v in_o paracelsus_n with_o the_o title_n of_o oriental_a star_n of_o natural_a spagiricall_a and_o magnetical_a light_n and_o

which_o notwithstanding_o paracelsus_n never_o perform_v therewithal_o but_o howsoever_o he_o never_o use_v the_o regulus_n or_o the_o cup_n but_o have_v many_o better_a preparation_n of_o antimonte_n

for_o these_o two_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v false_a for_o neither_o by_o the_o cup_n not_o by_o any_o other_o antimonial_a preparation_n can_v it_o be_v perform_v and_o i_o believe_v paracelsus_n speak_v he_o know_v not_o what_o when_o he_o say_v as_o that_o antimony_n refine_a gold_n so_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n it_o purify_v the_o body_n of_o man_n he_o must_v be_v void_a of_o reason_n

authority_n of_o martinus_n rulandus_n who_o call_v his_o aqua-benedicta_a the_o infusion_n of_o this_o cup_n which_o be_v absolute_o false_a and_o quercetanus_n libavius_n sennertus_n and_o

that_o it_o be_v the_o infusion_n of_o this_o cup_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v use_v by_o every_o one_o except_o they_o have_v the_o same_o knowledge_n &_o judgement_n that_o rulandus_n have_v neverth_n less_o he_o use_v other_o medicine_n as_o bad_a as_o this_o which_o he_o do_v commend_v as_o much_o as_o his_o extractum_fw-la esulae_n which_o be_v absolute_o prefer_v by_o he_o before_o all_o other_o medicine_n and_o antimony_n itself_o show_v that_o no_o medicine_n be_v good_a for_o every_o body_n but_o alchemist_n have_v that_o property_n to_o extol_v thing_n to_o the_o sky_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n they_o be_v find_v false_a or_o else_o lose_v their_o virtue_n in_o other_o folk_n hand_n as_o for_o example_n that_o it_o cure_v the_o frenzy_n it_o be_v 〈◊〉_d for_o in_o the_o dissence_n of_o the_o head_n vomit_v be_v very_o hurtful_a by_o the_o consent_n of_o all_o physician_n that_o it_o cure_v the_o f●lling_a sickness_n it_o be_v to_o be_v desire_v but_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v so_o except_o that_o come_v from_o the_o stomach_n the_o head_n be_v only_o affect_v by_o the_o sympathy_n of_o the_o say_a stomach_n that_o it_o heal_v impostume_n in_o the_o

because_o of_o the_o great_a strain_n of_o the_o upper_a part_n of_o the_o body_n but_o another_o vomit_n may_v do_v the_o like_a if_o the_o man_n can_v bear_v it_o the_o truth_n be_v those_o that_o

two_o several_a thing_n a_o vomit_n may_v do_v the_o former_a but_o not_o the_o latter_a concern_v the_o pleurisy_n the_o physician_n that_o give_v such_o a_o purge_a medicine_n that_o work_v upward_o as_o well_o as_o downward_o in_o such_o a_o disease_n be_v much_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o work_v against_o the_o rule_n of_o physic_n quercetanus_n be_v so_o bold_a in_o his_o pharmacopoeâ_fw-la as_o to_o speak_v of_o such_o a_o cure_n but_o not_o in_o a_o right_a pleurisy_n but_o because_o that_o book_n be_v full_a of_o lie_n i_o will_v say_v no_o more_o but_o this_o namely_o that_o neither_o

or_o false_a whatsoever_o he_o find_v write_v so_o i_o will_v not_o give_v a_o straw_n for_o his_o opinion_n when_o he_o commend_v the_o antimony_n against_o disease_n which_o none_o of_o they_o do_v

that_o have_v any_o skill_n in_o chemistry_n ever_o affirm_v beside_o he_o bring_v some_o physician_n live_v and_o some_o very_a well_o know_v to_o i_o but_o the_o great_a part_n i_o know_v not_o

also_o gain_v knowledge_n when_o and_o in_o what_o disease_n to_o apply_v it_o i_o will_v not_o wrong_v their_o judgement_n so_o much_o as_o to_o believe_v it_o of_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o cup._n
