quantity thereof and that it be fixed Dissolve it again with the same Milk and make it volatile afterwards fix and calcine and then bring it into Oyl with a little part of that Virgins Milk by circulation and so it shall be a perfect Elixer converting Mercury and each imperfect Mettal into most perfect Lune and by the same way thou mayst rubifie the other part with our Red Mercury by fixing and calcining and afterward dissolving it with the same Red Menstruum and at last by circulating it into a thick Oyl which we call potable Gold a curing and preserving Exixer of Life and of Metals Know also That if our Red Mercury equally with Mercury sublimed and fixed be circulated with Lutrie Vitriol or Iron before and after Rubification be digested into Oyl it will convert thine Lamins of Lune nealed and injected into pure Sol which if thou afterward taketh out it will serve for all need to live withall It is a general Rule That if thou wilt be a Master of this Art it is needful to make all Medicines gumous and fusible melting like wax of their own accord without Fume upon a Plate nealed For by this means each part will follow the other in Projection and will joyntly dilate themselves through the Pores of the Metal without any disjunction but if any part be ponderous it will separate the parts of the Metal make it brittle Therefore the Medicine must be often subtilated after that it is perfectly fixed that at least it may be an incombustible Oyl and rather may be called a Species then a Genus because it is nothing else but a fixed Tincture of Colour If this thing observed thou canst prepare thy Medicine thus thou shalt make fair Metals and malleable or else not Also here understand two Bodies to be dissolved with the Natural Menstruum is always the second Calx not the first and therefore it behoveth thee to dissolve Calx of Mettals with a compound Mercury as before is taught that they may sooner putrifie and be altered into the second Calx which we call Sulpher of Nature and Foliated Earth which we then dissolve and circulate into Oyl with a Simple Menstruum namely Natural The Calcination of Mettals NOw learn how Mettals are to be calcined Know therefore that Saturn and Jupiter we calcine onely one way which is this Put either of them into a great Iron Vessel and in the Fire so that the Flame may beat upon the Mettal and draw off the Scum with an Iron Rake to the sides of the Vessel stirring it often until it grow white then searse it gather the subtile Powder one Ounce is sufficient for thee Sprinkle Venus and Mars with the best Viniger well distilled that they may gather Rust burn this with most strong Fire in an Iron Dish when it is red-hot cool it in the best Acetum evaporate that Acetum and gather a most red Earth which dry and keep safely Amalgame Sol and Lune and grind it on a Marble with Powder of Salt prepared without any moisture untill no Mercury appear then sublime and evaporate the Mercury with strong fire grind that in the bottome into most subtile Powder and sublime untill no Mercury remain with it wash the Calx with hot Water to take away the Salt dry it and thou shalt have a Calx more subtile then Meal Another way is thus Take thin Lamins of Sol neal and cast them into Mercury heated on hot Ashes so the Mercury will drink up the Sol. Note That every Ounce of Sol requireth four and twenty Ounces of Mercury put this a malgame in a larg Glass bury it in Sand in a great Furnace give it Fire by degrees after the sixth hour make it vehement continue this heat five dayes and nights at each hour putting down the Mercury which ascendeth with a linnen Cloth bound with a little Iron Rod and stopping the Glass with Lute till at last all become a Powder redder then Blood which then we call the first Calx good and perfect with which if you mix Fire of Nature to use his Vertues as it requireth thou canst not erre in this Science The Recapitulation I Have told out of what and how thou shalt make our Mercury white and red and how this Mercury is to be actuated and sharpned how thou shalt prepare Calx how to purifie and alter them into a new Whiteness which we call our Mercury sublimed how to abbreviate the time of Putrifaction and. Alteration how to fix and dissolve again and then how to circulate into a white and red Elixer how by Imbibitions with proper Waters white and red they may be infinitely multiplyed to an incredible profit Learn therefore Patience fear God and love him keep these Secrets and then the Lord will bless thine Endeavours Saint Dunstan lived and was Archbishop of Canterbury in the Reign of King Edgar and Etheldred his Son as appeareth by an Antient Monument yet extant in St. Paul's Church in London containing a Prophecie in these Words HEre lyeth Etheldred King of England Son of King Edgar to whom on the Day of his Consecration after his Coronation it is reported that St. Dunstan Archbishop of Canterbury Prophecied openly this Curse Because thou hast aspired to the Kingdom by the Death of thy Brother in whose Blood the English with thy infamous Mother have conspired the Sword shall not depart from thy House but shall be against Thee all the Dayes of thy Life destroying thy Seed untill thy Kingdom be transferred to another Kingdom whose King and Language the Nation over whom thou Reignest knowest not Neither shall thy Sin and the Sin of thy Mother and the Sin of those men who were accessary to that wicked Councel be expiated but by a long Revenge Which Things came to pass as were fore-told by that Holy Man For Etheldred having been in divers Battles miserably vexed and put to flight by King Swans-Dansh and his Son and at last straitly Besieged and shut up in London He there miserably dyed in the Year of our Lord 1017. after he had Reigned 36. Years in great Tribulation DUNSTAN of the Stone of the Philosophers With the Experiments of Rumelius of New-Market I. TAke of the best red transparent oar of gold as much as you can have drive its Spirit from it through a Retort this is the Azoth and the Acetum of Philosophers from its proper minera which openeth radically Sol that is prepared II. Take the Minera of Venus or Saturn drive their spirits in a Retort each of these dissolveth Gold radically after its purification III. Take Pulverised oar of Saturn or vulgar Saturn calcined extract its salt with Acetum or its Antinae purifie it in the best manner that it be transparent as Crystall and sweet as honey and be fluid in heat like Wax and brittle when cold This is the Tree which is cut off of unwholesome Fruits on which must be inoculated the twiggs of Sol.

Philosophia Maturata AN Exact Piece of Philosophy Containing The Practick and Operative part thereof in gaining the Philosophers Stone With the wayes how to make the Mineral Stone and the Calcination of Mettals Whereunto is added A Work Compiled by St. Dunstan concerning the Philosophers Stone And the experiments of Rumelius and Preparations of Angelo Sala all most famous Chymists in their time Published by Lancelot Colson Dr. in Phys and Chym. London Printed for G. Sawbridge and are to be sold at his house upon Clerken-well-Green 1668. A Preface relating to the life of St. Dunstan the Author HOw reverent an esteem Antiquity hath had of this holy man wil appear in that so many famous Authors have written concerning him to wit the Author of the Brittish Antiquities History of Great Brittain Malmsbury and Mat. Westminster He lived about the year of our Lord 946. having been at first a Monk after that Abbot of Glastonbury then Bishop of Worcester next of London and finally Archbishop of Canterbury As to the Religious part of his life it was so exemplary that after ages even to this time have esteemed it miraculous He flourished in the Reigns of Edred or Eldred Edwin and Edgar three Kings of England In Edwins Reign he was Banished during which time the King by the Rebellion of his Subjects was deprived both of his life and Kingdom whom Edgar succeeding highly favoured and promoted He Crown'd Edw. King at Kingston this Edward was surnamed the Martyr being murthered by the procurement of Queen Elfrida After whose death Etheldred was Crowned King by Dunstan with whom also he was so much in favour that he preferred him before all his Nobles and laid up all his richest royal Housholdstuff Charters and Records with all his Wealth and Treasure in his Monastery so that all things were in his power the King without his advice doing nothing either in the publick affairs of the Kingdom or in his own private negotiations And as he stood thus in his Royal Masters favour with all fidelity to that great esteem he employed his endeavours to enrich religious places either by the Danes wasted or by bimself founded in this manner did our Author by the favour of his Prince attain the highest honors and surely not without great merit his extraordinary acquired parts and learning deserving greater Eulogyes then this narrow scantling of Paper can allow room for At last full of honour and dayes and replete with the grace and affection of his Prince be received his Quietus est from the cares of this world to enjoy the happiness of a better leaving behind him the pattern of his Religion vertue and learning for the world to imitate a tast whereof you have in the ensuing discourses Et sic Vive Vale Lector To the Understanding Reader THou art here presented with an ingenious peice of curious Art which may well be entituled An exact Piece of Philosophy for its subject is of such a nature as none but such as are 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Lovers of Wisdom are able to comprehend and that hath made some even pretenders to Learning cry out That the Philosophers Stone is indeed an invaluable Gemme but such as deserves only to pass among nominal not real Jewels but it would be a toylsom work and to as little purpose as certare de lana caprina to give an answer to such Anomalus Caprichio's The following tract there is no doubt will yeild great satisfaction to all such as knowingly pursue this kind of Philosophy especially when they shall consider the eminency of its Author for it bears in front the Reverend Character of Learned Dunstan of whom the present world at least those therein that have conversed in this Science cannot but know that he was as exact as diligent and so diligent that none before nor hardly any since did ever arrive herein to equal perfections with him But why should we waste time in making Eulogyes of him of whom not only antiquity but even the wickedness of the present age speak both great and honourable things to give them no greater a Title Let the Work it self advance as no doubt it will its own praise for its Author needed not the stilts of a vain-glorious sustentation Farewell AN Exact Piece of PHYLOSOPHY Touching the Stone of Phylosophers IT is chiefly to be understood That the Ancient Phylosophers did often endeavour to compose in a most short time above the Earth those things which by Nature in many years were perfected under the Earth viz. To make most perfect and most pretious Sol and Lune wherein they imitated the foresteps of Nature choosing to themselves most pure Earths white and Red which they named their Sol and Lune joyning them together as Nature doth without repugnance untill at length they were brought to a fixation and subtilty This thing also is needfull for you to perform if you desire to obtain the desired end in this Science For Sol and Lune is nothing else but Red and White Earth to which Nature hath perfectly joyned Argent vive pure subtile white and Red and so of them hath produced Sol and Lune It is therefore needfull for thee seeking this Science That first thou get these Earths White and Red subtile pure and fixed and in these two Earths to fix two Mercuries white in the white and red in the red without division and by their least parts so as they may endure the greatest examen of the fire and may have such fusion that as we see a great quantity of Water coloured with a little Saffron so they may in the least quantity abundantly tinge every mettall and all metalline spirits whatsoever so as they be of the same Kind and Nature and may altogether and fully bring them to their own quality And moreover that in themselves they may be infinitely multiplied and able to free the body of Man from the worst and most deadly Diseases which Properties truly are not found in common Sol and Lune without great Labour and yet but onely in part because that the Vegetative power the Mother of all increase for the most part is long since extinct in them If thou know how to perform this and to imitate the condition of the inferiour nature in making Mettals thou mayst worthily rejoyce in the name of a Phylosopher as being not meanly expert in natural things It is to be noted That the more Antient Phylosophers used not common Sol and Lune in this Work and therefore they said That their work needed not great Cost and Charges but that it might be as well performed by the Poor as the Rich Which were altogether different from the truth if it could not be performed without Common Sol and Lune For they are very pretious and rare and hardly to be gotten of poor men without great labour Indeed many have brought great quantities of Sol and Lune to nothing by this Art and have unprofitably spent and wasted
