have_v especial_a care_n of_o their_o patient_n health_n labour_v by_o all_o mean_v possible_a to_o find_v out_o antidote_n and_o corrector_n to_o withstand_v their_o inconvenience_n and_o break_v

but_o also_o particular_a for_o every_o such_o medicine_n hence_o aloe_n have_v mastic_n bdellium_n and_o tragagant_a to_o keep_v it_o from_o open_v of_o the_o vein_n &_o draw_v blood_n out_o of_o they_o and_o cause_v the_o emmorrhoid_v mirabolanes_n be_v prepare_v with_o oil_n of_o sweet_a almond_n and_o administer_v with_o ivice_n of_o fumitary_a wormwood_n agarick_n and_o spikenard_n and_o

every_o one_o have_v his_o particular_a correcter_n direct_a and_o helper_n to_o work_v due_o &_o qualify_v their_o vice_n this_o know_v and_o well_o consider_v it_o rest_v to_o show_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o vice_n in_o this_o catholicon_fw-la aureum_fw-la or_o no_o &_o herein_o be_v the_o difference_n see_v between_o this_o and_o all_o other_o purge_v that_o whereas_o all_o of_o they_o need_v corrector_n to_o break_v their_o malice_n aromatickes_n to_o take_v away_o their_o loathsomeness_n and_o help_v their_o work_n admixture_n of_o contrary_n to_o stay_v their_o violent_a

their_o good_a the_o good_a will_v scarce_o counterpoise_v it_o this_o powder_n only_o have_v this_o grace_n that_o it_o never_o offend_v any_o of_o the_o principal_a part_n never_o draw_v blood_n out_o of_o the_o vein_n never_o work_v too_o violent_o evacuate_v more_o they_o be_v burdensome_a to_o nature_n never_o inflame_v the_o blood_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n never_o make_v exulceration_n of_o the_o stomach_n &_o bowel_n never_o violent_o draw_v humour_n but_o after_o a_o direct_a course_n help_v nature_n to_o digest_v they_o or_o expel_v they_o by_o sweat_n urine_n and_o expiration_n never_o need_v any_o corrector_n nor_o have_v any_o such_o inconvenience_n therefore_o by_o consequent_a never_o raise_v any_o such_o symptom_n which_o usual_o follow_v the_o take_n of_o the_o other_o purge_v but_o contrariwise_o i_o affirm_v that_o it_o strengthen_v the_o heart_n the_o liver_n the_o brain_n and_o the_o whole_a body_n purify_v the_o blood_n reviu_v the_o spirit_n make_v they_o fit_a and_o apt_a to_o do_v all_o their_o function_n natural_a that_o this_o be_v true_a i_o give_v the_o learned_a thus_o much_o to_o consider_v the_o material_n whereof_o this_o powder_n consist_v in_o general_n be_v two_o for_o in_o it_o be_v two_o corporeal_a substance_n mix_v and_o unite_v together_o not_o as_o elementa_fw-la in_o composito_fw-la mixta_fw-la

more_o fixation_n and_o very_o hard_o yet_o possible_a separation_n one_o of_o the_o substance_n be_v metalline_a fix_v the_o other_o mercurial_a fix_a agent_n &_o patient_a of_o these_o two_o unite_a together_o be_v this_o powder_n make_v from_o these_o two_o in_o one_o procee_v two_o several_a quality_n the_o one_o purge_v by_o siege_n leniendo_fw-la and_o lubricando_fw-la by_o vomit_n os_fw-la

whatsoever_o be_v offensive_a either_o within_o the_o vessel_n or_o without_o by_o sweat_n and_o expiration_n and_o as_o neither_o mercury_n itself_o without_o his_o incorruptible_a patient_n can_v

be_v good_a to_o take_v it_o yet_o imagine_v not_o that_o it_o will_v cure_v they_o of_o itself_o alone_o but_o only_o serve_v for_o a_o preparation_n to_o their_o cure_n wheresoever_o there_o need_v
