brown_a paper_n in_o which_o let_v it_o dry_v at_o leisure_n in_o the_o shade_n obs_n 1._o that_o the_o faeces_fw-la of_o both_o these_o reguluse_n do_v contain_v a_o sulphureous_a smoot_n of_o antimony_n and_o a_o fix_a salt_n of_o niter_n and_o tartar_n therefore_o common_a water_n be_v easy_o impregnate_v therewith_o by_o ebullition_n obs_n 2._o that_o the_o acid_n which_o you_o pour_v upon_o the_o say_v lexivium_n filtrate_v produce_v three_o different_a effect_n of_o which_o the_o first_o be_v to_o separate_v the_o sulphureous_a and_o saltish_a smoot_n from_o the_o common_a water_n and_o so_o it_o appear_v in_o curd_n the_o second_o be_v to_o give_v a_o gross_a yellow_a colour_n to_o the_o curd_n and_o water_n the_o three_o be_v to_o make_v the_o say_a curd_n and_o water_n stink_v abominable_o it_o produce_v the_o first_o effect_n because_o that_o the_o antimonial_a sulphur_n dissolve_v by_o a_o saltish_a and_o lexivial_a dissolvant_fw-la remain_v incorporate_v with_o he_o till_o you_o pour_v in_o a_o little_a of_o a_o salinous_a precipitant_n which_o be_v of_o a_o different_a nature_n to_o the_o dissolvant_fw-la it_o happen_v that_o these_o two_o salt_n thus_o mingle_v begin_v to_o whet_v one_o another_o and_o by_o their_o action_n and_o re-action_n cause_n a_o ebullition_n evaporation_n and_o dissipation_n of_o the_o sharp_a part_n of_o the_o dissolvant_fw-la so_o that_o grow_v weak_a he_o be_v force_v to_o let_v go_v his_o hold_n and_o suffer_v the_o body_n he_o have_v seize_v upon_o to_o fall_v away_o to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o vessel_n the_o acid_n produce_v the_o second_o effect_n because_o all_o acid_n do_v enliven_v and_o enlighten_v colour_n now_o the_o colour_n of_o sulphur_n be_v yellow_a from_o whence_o it_o come_v that_o this_o antimonial_a sulphur_n which_o in_o its_o dissolution_n be_v of_o a_o dark_a yellow_a in_o its_o precipitation_n become_v now_o of_o a_o fine_a light_n yellow_a now_o all_o salinous_a spirit_n do_v vivifie_v colour_n because_o they_o be_v of_o a_o detergent_a nature_n and_o do_v cleanse_v and_o take_v away_o all_o the_o greasy_a obscure_a smoot_n which_o do_v darken_v the_o lustre_n of_o the_o natural_a colour_n as_o linen_n grow_v white_a and_o clean_a by_o buck_v the_o acid_n produce_v the_o three_o effect_n because_o sulphur_n when_o it_o be_v heat_v be_v natural_o stink_v now_o it_o be_v heat_v by_o the_o action_n of_o the_o precipitant_n and_o re-action_n of_o the_o dissolvant_fw-la this_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o hot_a water_n of_o mineral_n bath_n which_o stink_v extreme_o of_o sulphur_n because_o a_o bituminous_a and_o a_o sulphureous_a spring_n happen_v to_o join_v with_o a_o nitrous_a and_o vitriolous_a spring_n do_v whet_v and_o heat_n one_o another_o and_o so_o produce_v the_o sulphureous_a smell_n obs_n 3._o that_o if_o you_o pour_v a_o good_a quantity_n of_o common_a water_n upon_o these_o curd_n that_o present_o they_o be_v precipitate_v into_o a_o yellow_a powder_n because_o the_o say_a water_n dissolve_v all_o the_o salt_n that_o remain_v in_o the_o say_a curd_n so_o that_o then_o the_o antimonial_a sulphur_n be_v free_a from_o all_o tie_n and_o bond_n precipitate_v itself_o into_o a_o powder_n of_o a_o much_o lively_a colour_n than_o that_o of_o the_o curd_n because_o now_o the_o sulphur_n have_v throw_v off_o the_o salt_n and_o appear_v under_o its_o own_o natural_a colour_n of_o sulphur_n obs_n 4._o that_o the_o golden_a diaphoretic_a sulphur_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o fix_a sulphur_n of_o antimony_n draw_v from_o the_o faeces_fw-la of_o antimony_n open_v and_o melt_v by_o niter_n for_o the_o volatile_a sulphur_n of_o antimony_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o venomous_a as_o it_o be_v volatile_a and_o that_o which_o be_v least_o volatile_a be_v violent_o vomitive_a and_o purgative_a but_o this_o be_v fix_v be_v only_a diaphoretic_n and_o open_n and_o for_o a_o proof_n that_o the_o say_v diaphoretic_a sulphur_n be_v but_o a_o fix_a sulphur_n of_o antimony_n do_v but_o let_v the_o say_v faeces_fw-la of_o the_o regulus_n of_o antimony_n lie_v two_o or_o three_o day_n upon_o the_o ground_n and_o there_o will_v rise_v of_o itself_o without_o any_o artifice_n a_o kind_n of_o a_o yellow_a moss_n all_o over_o your_o faeces_fw-la which_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o true_a sulphur_n of_o antimony_n purify_v it_o be_v use_n and_o virtue_n it_o be_v a_o powerful_a diuretic_n and_o diaphoretic_n it_o serve_v principal_o to_o provoke_v the_o monthly_a course_n of_o woman_n be_v
