A86029	A description of new philosophical furnaces, or A new art of distilling, divided into five parts. Whereunto is added a description of the tincture of gold, or the true aurum potabile; also, the first part of the mineral work. Set forth and published for the sakes of them that are studious of the truth. / By John Rudolph Glauber. Set forth in English, by J.F. D.M.; Furni novi philosophici. English.

and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o these_o be_v these_o glass_n invent_v by_o the_o help_n whereof_o most_o subtle_a spirit_n be_v without_o any_o loss_n of_o their_o virtue_n if_o you_o please_v a_o very_a long_a time_n preserve_v and_o keep_v and_o because_o when_o there_o be_v occasion_n the_o spirit_n can_v be_v pour_v forth_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o mercury_n in_o the_o brim_n you_o must_v get_v a_o drawer_n like_a to_o that_o by_o the_o help_n whereof_o wine_n be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o vessel_n but_o lesser_a have_v a_o belly_n with_o a_o little_a mouth_n make_v very_o accurate_o this_o be_v let_v down_o you_o may_v take_v up_o as_o much_o as_o you_o please_v as_o be_v needful_a the_o upper_a orifice_n whereof_o be_v stop_v with_o the_o finger_n nothing_o drop_v out_o be_v put_v into_o a_o lesser_a glass_n be_v thence_o pour_v forth_o for_o your_o use_n then_o you_o must_v again_o cover_v the_o remainder_n of_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o the_o glass_n and_o as_o oft_o as_o be_v needful_a take_v out_o with_o that_o drawer_n as_o much_o as_o be_v useful_a and_o this_o be_v the_o best_a way_n by_o which_o most_o subtle_a spirit_n be_v retain_v which_o also_o be_v very_o well_o retain_v in_o those_o glass_n who_o steeple_n be_v of_o glass_n smooth_v with_o grind_v but_o this_o be_v a_o more_o costly_a way_n of_o keep_v in_o spirit_n and_o it_o be_v do_v after_o this_o manner_n how_o glass_n stopple_v be_v to_o be_v smooth_v with_o grind_v for_o the_o retain_v of_o spirit_n in_o their_o glass_n vessel_n first_o of_o all_o order_n the_o matter_n so_o that_o you_o have_v glass_n bottle_n of_o several_a sort_n some_o great_a some_o lesser_a with_o strong_a neck_n and_o mouth_n with_o their_o glass_n stopple_v which_o be_v smooth_v by_o grind_v shut_v the_o orifice_n of_o the_o bottle_n very_o close_o now_o they_o be_v smooth_v thus_o put_v the_o stopple_v in_o the_o turn_n be_v set_v or_o fasten_v in_o some_o wood_n bring_v it_o into_o a_o round_a shape_n then_o be_v moisten_v with_o smiris_n and_o water_n mix_v together_o let_v it_o be_v put_v to_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o bottle_n so_o as_o to_o be_v turn_v round_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o bottle_n which_o you_o must_v often_o take_v away_o from_o the_o stopple_v be_v fasten_v to_o the_o turn_n for_o the_o often_o moisten_v of_o it_o which_o be_v with_o that_o mixture_n of_o prepare_a smiris_n and_o water_n with_o the_o help_n of_o a_o pencil_n or_o feather_n and_o that_o so_o often_o and_o so_o long_o until_o the_o stopple_n stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o bottle_n most_o close_o which_o be_v do_v you_o wipe_v off_o the_o smiris_n with_o a_o lint_n from_o the_o stopple_v and_o mouth_n of_o the_o the_o bottle_n then_o smeer_v over_o the_o stopple_n with_o a_o lineament_n make_v of_o some_o fine_a wash_v earth_n and_o water_n or_o oil_n and_o again_o turn_v it_o round_o in_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o bottle_n and_o often_o smear_v it_o over_o with_o this_o fresh_a mixture_n until_o the_o stopple_n be_v most_o exact_o smooth_v which_o afterward_o be_v to_o be_v tie_v to_o its_o proper_a bottle_n the_o same_o also_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v concern_v the_o rest_n that_o one_o may_v not_o be_v take_v for_o a_o other_o etc._n etc._n and_o that_o you_o may_v not_o need_v to_o take_v away_o so_o much_o from_o the_o stopple_v and_o bottle_n get_v some_o copper_n mould_v make_v for_o the_o stopple_v which_o stopple_v must_v be_v take_v while_o they_o be_v yet_o warm_a soft_a and_o new_o draw_v from_o the_o furnace_n that_o they_o may_v be_v make_v of_o a_o just_a roundness_n as_o also_o other_o copper_n mould_v which_o must_v be_v put_v into_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o bottle_n while_o they_o be_v yet_o hot_a and_o soft_a for_o the_o better_a make_v of_o they_o round_o whereby_o afterward_o the_o stopple_n may_v more_o easy_o and_o quick_o become_v fit_a to_o stop_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o bottle_n very_o close_o as_o for_o example_n a._n be_v the_o stopple_n b._n the_o glass_n or_o bottle_n if_o thou_o know_v how_o to_o order_v they_o right_o they_o will_v quick_o and_o easy_o fit_v one_o the_o other_o in_o defect_n of_o a_o turn_n proceed_v after_o the_o follow_a manner_n which_o be_v slow_a yet_o safe_a because_o in_o a_o turn_n the_o glass_n oftentimes_o wax_v hot_a be_v break_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o over_o great_a haste_n and_o it_o be_v thus_o make_v a_o iron_n or_o wooden_a receptacle_n fit_a to_o receive_v the_o glass_n bottle_n which_o be_v cover_v about_o with_o linen_n and_o put_v in_o join_v both_o part_n of_o the_o receptacle_n wary_o and_o soft_o with_o the_o help_n of_o a_o screw_n that_o the_o bottle_n be_v not_o break_v and_o because_o that_o instrument_n or_o receptacle_n of_o the_o bottle_n be_v fasten_v to_o a_o form_n with_o the_o help_n of_o a_o screw_n can_v be_v move_v afterward_o cause_n that_o another_o wooden_a instrument_n be_v make_v for_o the_o stopple_n as_o for_o example_n a._n the_o stopple_n with_o its_o receptacle_n b._n the_o bottle_n with_o its_o receptacle_n that_o may_v be_v separate_v in_o the_o middle_n and_o be_v again_o reunite_v with_o a_o screw_n after_o the_o put_n in_o of_o the_o stopple_n which_o be_v smeer_v over_o with_o the_o aforesaid_a mixture_n of_o smiris_n and_o water_n take_v a_o instrument_n with_o both_o hand_n and_o put_v the_o stopple_n round_o about_o the_o neck_n of_o the_o bottle_n and_o grind_v it_o round_o upon_o the_o other_o as_o wine_n cooper_n be_v use_v to_o do_v in_o smooth_v the_o tap_n and_o that_o so_o long_o until_o the_o stopple_n be_v fit_a for_o the_o bottle_n then_o reiterate_v the_o same_o labour_n with_o the_o earth_n tripolis_n until_o it_o be_v complete_v and_o it_o will_v stop_v as_o well_o as_o a_o stopple_n make_v by_o the_o help_n of_o a_o turn_n these_o foresay_a way_n of_o stop_v be_v the_o best_a by_o which_o the_o break_n of_o glass_n be_v prevent_v viz._n while_o man_n be_v in_o a_o error_n about_o the_o fix_v of_o spirit_n of_o salt_n mineral_n and_o metal_n which_o although_o they_o be_v fix_v with_o great_a cost_n and_o labour_n yet_o do_v not_o satisfy_v what_o be_v promise_v and_o expect_v because_o those_o kind_n of_o fixation_n be_v violent_a and_o force_v and_o by_o consequence_n contrary_a to_o nature_n but_o in_o the_o profitable_a fixation_n of_o spirit_n not_o so_o where_o we_o must_v follow_v nature_n and_o not_o commit_v ourselves_o to_o fortune_n in_o our_o labour_n for_o only_a fool_n be_v wont_a to_o break_v their_o glass_n in_o their_o suppose_a tincture_n but_o philosopher_n not_o so_o for_o every_o violent_a thing_n be_v a_o enemy_n to_o nature_n and_o all_o the_o operation_n of_o nature_n be_v spontaneous_a they_o err_v therefore_o and_o never_o shall_v come_v unto_o their_o desire_a end_n who_o attempt_v violent_a fixation_n i_o can_v be_v persuade_v that_o body_n dead_a or_o half_a dead_a can_v be_v so_o mix_v together_o as_o to_o multiply_v but_o i_o can_v easy_o believe_v that_o the_o conjunction_n of_o male_a and_o female_a of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o species_n sound_a and_o nourish_v with_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a meat_n to_o be_v natural_a and_o to_o make_v a_o spontaneous_a propagation_n and_o multiplication_n of_o their_o species_n viz._n of_o those_o that_o endure_v in_o a_o good_a and_o adverse_a fortune_n in_o life_n and_o death_n but_o the_o conjunction_n of_o dead_a thing_n to_o be_v dead_a and_o barren_a do_v but_o consider_v how_o many_o and_o various_a instrument_n both_o gold_n silver_z copper_z

by_o reason_n of_o any_o affinity_n for_o multiplication_n or_o perfection_n sake_n for_o it_o appear_v by_o experience_n that_o mercury_n fly_v away_o in_o the_o fire_n and_o leave_v the_o gold_n silver_z and_o other_o metal_n where_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o they_o have_v no_o mutual_a affinity_n requisite_a for_o the_o multiplication_n of_o metal_n nor_o be_v it_o ever_o possible_a for_o
