do_v the_o work_n yea_o do_v the_o work_n so_o that_o nothing_o shall_v remain_v they_o take_v sublime_v mercury_n and_o let_v it_o boil_v in_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o fountain_n water_n so_o that_o its_o astringent_a and_o acrimonious_a poisonous_a taste_n be_v scarce_o perceive_v but_o i_o assure_v and_o warn_v every_o body_n that_o whoever_o drink_v of_o this_o water_n it_o will_v be_v

they_o have_v great_a knowledge_n of_o thing_n insomuch_o that_o now-a_a day_n there_o be_v not_o a_o barber-surgeon_n apprentice_n who_o as_o they_o boast_v shall_v not_o know_v to_o cure_v the_o

mercury_n aurum_fw-la vitæ_fw-la aquila_n and_o whatsoever_o they_o may_v call_v it_o do_v you_o know_v it_o who_o tell_v it_o you_o where_o have_v you_o read_v it_o come_v hither_o and_o instruct_v we_o that_o we_o also_o may_v know_v it_o teach_v we_o we_o will_v not_o be_v ashamed_a to_o learn_v we_o will_v attentive_o hearken_v to_o and_o observe_v what_o you_o say_v but_o lo_o you_o stand_v and_o gape_v for_o understanding_n as_o a_o blind_a man_n for_o the_o daylight_n for_o you_o see_v and_o expermental_o find_v that_o your_o mercury_n be_v a_o unchangeable_a water_n though_o you_o put_v all_o kind_n of_o mask_n upon_o he_o and_o your_o mercurial_a water_n together_o with_o your_o praecipitate_v and_o mercurius_n dulcis_fw-la what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o a_o conceal_a poisonous_a corrosive_n for_o why_o be_v the_o sublimate_n and_o arsenic_n a_o poison_n unless_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o corrosive_n which_o have_v so_o corrode_v it_o and_o turn_v it_o to_o a_o white_a mass_n separate_a the_o corrosive_n from_o arsenic_n then_o shall_v you_o see_v that_o the_o remainder_n be_v a_o metal_n and_o from_o the_o sublimate_n than_o have_v thou_o a_o run_a quicksilver_n one_o pound_n of_o which_o you_o may_v safe_o drink_v without_o hurt_n or_o good_a but_o not_o when_o it_o be_v yet_o unite_v with_o its_o corrosive_n and_o be_v call_v mercurius_n sublimatus_fw-la some_o grain_n whereof_o be_v enough_o to_o bereave_v thou_o of_o thy_o life_n 29._o hence_o we_o see_v that_o mercury_n without_o the_o corrosive_n do_v not_o work_v for_o as_o it_o be_v pour_v in_o to_o the_o throat_n so_o it_o run_v out_o again_o below_o thus_o it_o happen_v to_o a_o apothecarie_n journey_n man_n who_o come_v home_o at_o night_n quite_o tipple_v go_v into_o the_o shop_n to_o take_v as_o he_o use_v a_o dram_n or_o two_o of_o aqna_fw-la vitæ_fw-la before_o his_o go_v to_o bed_n and_o so_o in_o the_o dark_a grope_a after_o the_o bottle_n his_o sellow-servant_n have_v remove_v the_o bottle_n and_o set_v in_o the_o place_n of_o it_o a_o bottle_n of_o quicksilver_n out_o of_o it_o he_o take_v his_o draught_n and_o go_v to_o bed_n when_o he_o awaken_v in_o the_o morning_n he_o find_v in_o the_o bed_n that_o which_o he_o drink_v last_o over_o n_o ght_n gather_v it_o together_o and_o put_v it_o again_o into_o the_o bottle_n for_o another_o draught_n 30._o but_o if_o they_o will_v have_v the_o quicksilver_n to_o work_v either_o for_o one_o way_n or_o other_o than_o it_o must_v be_v dissolve_v in_o aqua_fw-la fortis_fw-la or_o the_o like_a corrosive_n and_o be_v reduce_v into_o subtle_a powder_n whereby_o the_o subtle_a and_o sharp_a part_n of_o the_o corrosive_n in_o the_o evaporate_n join_v itself_o to_o the_o mercury_n and_o represent_v it_o to_o the_o eye_n under_o the_o mask_n of_o a_o red_a or_o white_a mass_n either_o with_o or_o without_o taste_n 31._o but_o as_o soon_o as_o the_o corrosive_n which_o hold_v it_o thus_o bind_v get_v away_o again_o then_o be_v it_o as_o before_o a_o run_a quicksilver_n therefore_o we_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o that_o mercury_n be_v a_o unchangeable_a water_n but_o its_o corrosive_n be_v to_o man_n body_n and_o health_n a_o dangerous_a poison_n whether_o it_o show_v its_o effect_n short_o or_o long_o after_o which_o sometime_o cause_v a_o tremble_a and_o shake_v of_o
