A08906	The secrets of physick and philosophy divided into two bookes: in the first is shewed the true and perfect order to distill, or draw forth the oyles of all manner of gummes, spices, seedes, roots, and hearbs, with their perfect taste, smell and vertues. In the second is shewed the true and perfect order to prepare, calcine, sublime, and dissolue all manner of minerals, and how ye shall draw forth their oyles and salts, which are most wonderfull in their operations, for the health of mans bodie. First written in the German tongue by the most learned Theophrastus Paraselsus, and now published in the English tongue, by Iohn Hester, practitioner in the art of distillation.; True and perfect order to distill oyles out of al maner of spices.	Paracelsus, 1493-1541, attributed name.; Hermanni, Philippus. Constich distillierboeck.; Hester, John, d. 1593.	1633 (1633)	STC 19182; ESTC S113991	44,162	238

preparation_n for_o we_o have_v see_v and_o prove_v divers_a time_n that_o the_o first_o vapour_n or_o smoke_n of_o any_o herb_n or_o spice_n be_v the_o best_a that_o be_v therein_o and_o yet_o our_o learned_a physician_n command_v it_o to_o be_v boil_a until_o half_o be_v consume_v etc._n etc._n then_o note_n if_o the_o best_a fly_v away_o in_o boil_v what_o strength_n can_v the_o medicine_n have_v therefore_o i_o say_v that_o the_o physician_n without_o this_o art_n of_o preparation_n be_v little_a or_o nothing_o worth_a although_o they_o take_v the_o patient_n money_n for_o he_o go_v

to_o be_v praise_v and_o the_o alchemist_n to_o be_v praise_v also_o although_o they_o attain_v not_o to_o their_o first_o intention_n yet_o they_o have_v open_v the_o way_n through_o the_o which_o

be_v all_o unknown_a to_o the_o great_a hindrance_n of_o the_o sick_a and_o disease_a person_n therefore_o i_o will_v not_o speak_v against_o it_o but_o hold_v it_o in_o great_a estimation_n to_o our_o intention_n that_o be_v the_o help_n of_o the_o sick_a and_o disease_a person_n and_o to_o prepare_v the_o mineral_n wherewith_o you_o may_v do_v that_o which_o can_v be_v do_v with_o any_o
