abyde a part at the bottome of the Lymbecke Howe often the vertues of certaine substantiall partes are lost or chaunged in the Distillations and why that Distillation came but of later tyme into vse this borowed of the learned Ioannes Langius The seconde Chapter NO Person néedeth to doubt that all Bodies which growe and take increasement in the earth are compounded of diuers and in a maner infinite small parts which the Gréekes properly name Atomes of the Elements and that in those rest differing and contrarie vertues neuerthelesse vnder one maner of forme of all the Bodies compounded as the lyke appeareth and is confirmed in that roote of Rubarbe so much regarded and estéemed in all places which doth both loose the Bellie and bynde the same yet this deliuereth and openeth the obstructions and stoppinges of the Liuer The same also is knowne to be in the iuice of Roses which purgeth the bellye of Choler where contrarywise the distilled water and the drye powder of the leaues doe bynde and harden the Belly the lyke to this is found in the bitternesse of the nayles or white endes of the leaues which boyled and applyed vp in Glyster forme after the mynde of the learned Mathiolus doth mightily stay the fluxe of the Belly and by giuing it to drinke this healeth the perillous vlcers of the Lunges The yelowe séedes within the Rose and the heares hanging to them boyled in Wyne and drunke doth staye as he affirmeth the styllings downe to the Gummes and marueylously helpeth the running of the Whites in women He also reporteth that the whole heads of the Rose sodden in Wyne and drunke helpeth the fluxe of the Bellie and stayeth the spitting or casting vp of bloude the séedes within the peares of the Rose are knowen of experience to be astringent for which cause the yelowe and all the whole Peares sodden in wyne doth greatly profite the fluxe of the Bellie and such abundance of the Whytes in women yea marueylously stayeth the tedious Gonorrhea these hitherto Mathiolus And is it not euidentlye séene and knowne that the outwarde part of the Nettle procureth ytching and burning in that part of the bodie as the same toucheth where contrarywise the iuice drawen out of the inner substance applyed on the arteries of the armes doth refresh and coole the burning of the Feuer or feuerous burning of the heart Besides dryed and brought into powder and giuen to a maryed man to eate causeth him after to loue dearely his wyfe and children and the same vsed fortifieth the veneriall acte and purgeth the Matrix in women by the dayly eating in meate yea wasshyng the Bodie with the decoction of it mitigateth all paynes caused of colde and healeth scabbes And doe we not daylye vnderstande sée that out of one ●●per Myne of the veyne vnder the grounde purchased there 〈◊〉 ●olten and separated in the Furnace diuers kyndes of Mettals that is of Leade of Siluer Copper Golde of which always the greater part is conuerted into Fumes When therefore after in the Distillation the grosser and excrementuous partes abyde in the bottome of the Lymbecke then doe the Aereall vanysh into spirits and the moysture thickened through the cooling of the couer or heade of the Lymbecke fall from the Gutter of the heade and runne downe drop by droppe into a Receyuer standing vnder It is not to be marueyled at if distilled waters doe not yéelde their proper sauour taste and all other vertues or but little that they ought of those matters out of which they are distilled For which cause the learned Phisition Mesue reporteth that the water drawne by distillation out of Roses doth greatly comfort and strengthen yet doth the same nor lyke loose and purge the bodie as the iuice gotten out of the freshe Roses or the infusion of them done after Arte by reason that their subtill heate vanisheth with the fire To these adde that the hydde or secrete propertie which procéedeth of the forme that the Phisitions terme particular as in the Lode stone Colocynthis Scamonie and others lyke equally shedde throughout the whole substaunce of his subiect insomuch that when the forces and vertues be lost of the other partes of the subiect it cannot then retayne his proper strength but that hys action and working perysheth as by a lyke the water distilled by a Lymbeck of the Colocynthis or Rubarbe cannot then loose or purge the Belly where the lycour at all times or either of them infused for certayne houres and ministred will easily perfourme the lyke working By the same maner all herbes of a hote and drie qualitie doe yéelde or giue forth in their Distillation the best waters of propertie kéeping neuerthelesse their naturall heate and drynesse but the herbes colde and moyste doe not reteyne so well their coldenesse and moysture by reason they attayne or purchase a certayne straunge heate of the fire of the Lymbecke which abateth and taketh awaye from the waters their proper nature and vertue so that the same water which is distilled doth not any thing reteyne or but little of the nature and vertue of that simple out of which it is distilled Whereof it commeth to passe that although the waters of Endyue Lettuce or Nightshade are accustomed or woont to coole yet doe these alwayes performe the same but a little where otherwyse if these kept the proper qualities of the Herbes from which they are distilled woulde then greatly coole to the ende that the Herbes the same which are of temperature 〈◊〉 maye kéepe their proper qualities they ought rather to be ●●yled with a soft fire and their decoctions ministred when ●●ede requyreth If at anye time the distilled waters are more agréeable and pleasanter in taste than the decoctions of the Herbes it behooueth to vnderstande that these loose lesser of their moysture and coldnesse in that they néede but a temperate fire if they be distilled in the Furnace named MARI BALNEVM Balneum Mariae whose forme is here described to the eye that commonly is made long whereby the same may contayne many vessels and hath sundrie doores that the water may heate togither alyke buylt also of small heygth to the ende the water may be made hote with a smal fire than if they were distilled in a dri● Furnace as in Sande or Ashes of which hereafter shall further be vttered whereas we mynde to intreate of the correction of Herbes By the same discourse eche man may easily conceiue and iudge that all formes cannot wholy resist and doe their workings a long tyme in mixt bodies if the qualities abyde not perfite and hole For which cause it is no marueyle if the waters of Plants and Iuices especiallye those which are distilled by a drie heate of fire doe disagrée and seuer from the vertues of their Simples which for troth more troubled and mooued rather the skilfull to be abashed than the ignoraunt Phisitions and caused that a long tyme after it was or they anye thing to purpose
