but_o a_o wiseman_n must_v extract_v the_o secret_a and_o supply_v himself_o with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o virtue_n thereof_o out_o of_o its_o ash_n for_o there_o they_o lie_v hide_v for_o this_o mineral_n do_v so_o strengthen_v and_o stir_v up_o nature_n that_o she_o can_v free_v and_o discharge_v herself_o from_o bilious_a humour_n which_o breed_v obstruction_n in_o the_o gut_n and_o stomach_n and_o from_o thence_o disperse_v themselves_o into_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n this_o mineral_n stir_v up_o four_o several_a faculty_n in_o our_o body_n whereby_o the_o excrement_n be_v expel_v and_o all_o peccant_a humour_n cast_v out_o for_o it_o purge_v by_o vomit_n by_o stool_n it_o cause_v we_o to_o sweat_v it_o strengthen_v the_o principal_a part_n and_o be_v a_o preservative_n against_o poison_n these_o admirable_a virtue_n be_v the_o cause_n why_o hypocrates_n conceal_v this_o mineral_n under_o the_o name_n of_o his_o tetragon_n and_o very_o nature_n have_v not_o produce_v any_o other_o compound_v wherein_o there_o be_v such_o virtue_n and_o power_n to_o remove_v and_o resolve_v obstruction_n in_o the_o gut_n see_v nature_n have_v not_o impart_v this_o faculty_n to_o any_o other_o body_n but_o have_v confer_v it_o upon_o antimony_n alone_o hence_o basil_n valentine_n confess_v this_o mineral_n to_o be_v most_o conduce_v and_o agreeable_a to_o the_o principal_a part_n of_o the_o body_n as_o the_o very_a balsam_n and_o mumy_a of_o life_n and_o he_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v not_o under_o heaven_n a_o more_o excellent_a medicine_n than_o what_o may_v be_v prepare_v out_o of_o antimony_n for_o it_o expel_v poison_n open_v all_o obstruction_n drive_v out_o the_o superfluity_n of_o the_o blood_n by_o sweat_n and_o purge_v by_o stool_n and_o vomit_v most_o just_o therefore_o do_v hypocrates_n call_v antimony_n his_o tetragon_n because_o of_o its_o fourfold_a faculty_n and_o virtue_n for_o it_o vomit_v it_o purge_v it_o sweat_v and_o it_o preserve_v and_o strengthen_v withal_o galen_n call_v those_o shine_a filament_n or_o streak_n which_o appear_v in_o antimony_n plakas_n which_o discover_v and_o manifest_v unto_o we_o that_o antimony_n be_v natural_o full_a of_o regulus_n in_o which_o regulus_n there_o be_v excellent_a virtue_n for_o by_o his_o plakas_n galen_n understand_v the_o pure_a and_o bright_a part_n of_o the_o antimony_n in_o which_o part_n those_o four_o medicinal_a faculty_n lodge_v which_o make_v up_o the_o tetragon_n among_o all_o symptom_n of_o disease_n the_o most_o vehement_a be_v a_o extreme_a pain_n of_o the_o head_n which_o proceed_v from_o abundance_n of_o bilious_a slimy_a humour_n heap_v up_o and_o impact_v in_o the_o gut_n where_o they_o cause_v inflammation_n and_o such_o strong_a obstruction_n that_o sometime_o the_o natural_a passage_n downward_o be_v stop_v that_o the_o very_a excrement_n be_v purge_v out_o at_o the_o mouth_n and_o in_o this_o cause_n hypocrates_n require_v that_o the_o patient_n shall_v vomit_v every_o six_o day_n shall_v drink_v wine_n and_o be_v purge_v with_o his_o tetragon_n in_o which_o text_n galen_n have_v right_o observe_v that_o by_o his_o tetragon_n hypocrates_n understand_v antimony_n for_o this_o mineral_n be_v well_o prepare_v root_v out_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o symptom_n namely_o the_o bilious_a humour_n impact_v in_o the_o gut_n it_o be_v plain_a then_o that_o hypocrates_n by_o his_o tetragon_n mean_v antimony_n for_o this_o disease_n will_v not_o yield_v to_o any_o other_o remedy_n for_o purge_v the_o patient_n with_o common_a medicament_n as_o hellebore_n and_o the_o like_a and_o make_v he_o vomit_v never_o so_o often_o yet_o the_o pain_n in_o the_o head_n shall_v still_o continue_v for_o those_o remedy_n can_v resolve_v and_o expel_v the_o bilious_a excrement_n that_o cause_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o patient_n must_v be_v purge_v with_o the_o tetragon_n for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o this_o mineral_n to_o resolve_v obstruction_n and_o purge_v they_o out_o both_o upward_o and_o downward_o as_o also_o by_o sweat_v and_o to_o strengthen_v the_o natural_a part_n which_o have_v be_v weaken_v by_o the_o peccant_a matter_n and_o see_v this_o mineral_n be_v diaphoretic_n withal_o it_o do_v by_o a_o gentle_a transpiration_n disperse_v and_o expel_v those_o noxious_a vapour_n and_o fume_n which_o ascend_v from_o the_o stomach_n and_o the_o peccant_a matter_n up_o to_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o head_n and_o cause_v those_o troublesome_a symptom_n and_o these_o excellent_a effect_n make_v a_o famous_a philosopher_n call_v antimony_n the_o heal_n mumie_n of_o life_n other_o there_o be_v who_o call_v antimony_n the_o ramm_n and_o not_o without_o reason_n for_o as_o the_o celestial_a sun_n begin_v to_o be_v exalt_v in_o the_o sign_n of_o aries_n even_o so_o the_o terrestrial_a sun_n namely_o gold_n be_v exalt_v and_o purge_v in_o antimony_n as_o we_o may_v understand_v by_o the_o enigmatical_a process_n of_o basil_n valentine_n former_o mention_v under_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lion_n and_o the_o wolf_n and_o there_o be_v those_o who_o stick_v not_o to_o affirm_v that_o in_o antimony_n be_v hide_v the_o secret_a of_o all_o secret_n as_o be_v the_o marcasite_n of_o saturn_n but_o this_o moreover_o be_v worth_a our_o observation_n that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o antimony_n namely_o the_o male_a and_o the_o female_a the_o male_n be_v more_o impure_a earthy_a and_o of_o less_o weight_n but_o the_o female_a be_v pure_a more_o sparkle_a and_o bright_a much_o heavy_a than_o the_o other_o and_o have_v more_o in_o she_o of_o a_o mettalline_a nature_n whence_o we_o may_v conclude_v with_o dioscorides_n that_o that_o antimony_n be_v to_o be_v choose_v for_o the_o best_a which_o have_v in_o it_o certain_a shine_a filament_n or_o streak_n and_o which_o be_v break_v the_o fragment_n will_v easy_o crumble_v between_o your_o finger_n and_o which_o have_v not_o much_o earth_n mingle_v therewith_o nor_o any_o extraneous_a feculent_a superfluity_n moreover_o there_o be_v make_v of_o antimony_n several_a sort_n of_o medicine_n namely_o the_o crocus_n or_o mineral_n saffron_n the_o flower_n the_o glass_n of_o antimony_n the_o antimonial_a cup_n the_o butter_n the_o mercurius_n aquavitae_fw-la or_o vomit_v powder_n the_o regulus_n the_o golden_a sulphur_n the_o salt_n and_o oil_n make_v thereof_o by_o resolution_n in_o a_o cold_a place_n as_o also_o several_a kind_n of_o tincture_n for_o our_o part_n we_o know_v how_o to_o make_v four_o different_a tincture_n of_o antimony_n whereof_o the_o one_o excel_v the_o other_o in_o virtue_n according_a to_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o matter_n whereof_o they_o be_v prepare_v the_o same_o we_o say_v of_o our_o sweat_a powder_n and_o these_o our_o medicine_n cause_v no_o vomit_n at_o all_o but_o work_v only_o by_o sweat_v and_o that_o kind_o too_o and_o without_o any_o molestation_n or_o offence_n to_o the_o stomach_n and_o at_o cambridge_n there_o be_v many_o person_n who_o can_v attest_v this_o truth_n with_o i_o as_o also_o here_o at_o london_n we_o prepare_v also_o beside_o the_o tincture_n and_o the_o diaphoretic_n another_o medicament_n which_o be_v a_o ruddy_a powder_n and_o we_o call_v it_o the_o theion_n of_o hypocrates_n and_o our_o panodon_n because_o it_o purge_v at_o all_o the_o emunctory_n or_o passage_n of_o the_o body_n by_o vomit_n by_o stool_n by_o urine_n by_o sweat_n and_o a_o insensible_a transpiration_n we_o prepare_v also_o the_o salt_n of_o antimony_n which_o have_v the_o same_o effect_n with_o our_o theion_n this_o only_o except_v that_o the_o salt_n purge_v only_o downward_o by_o stool_n and_o urine_n and_o in_o that_o respect_n be_v better_a than_o our_o ruddy_a powder_n for_o such_o patient_n who_o can_v endure_v vomit_v medicine_n of_o all_o and_o each_o of_o these_o we_o shall_v now_o discourse_v that_o such_o person_n who_o desire_v to_o have_v they_o may_v know_v what_o they_o be_v good_a for_o and_o how_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v take_v and_o in_o what_o quantity_n of_o the_o use_n and_o do_v of_o our_o antimonial_a tincture_n this_o tincture_n be_v a_o good_a and_o a_o safe_a medicine_n and_o may_v be_v take_v inward_o or_o apply_v outward_o with_o much_o benefit_n for_o it_o cure_v the_o leprosy_n the_o
