book of the nature and dignity of Angels by the divine art of God that ordered all things as you have read in the Introductory part of this book refined and sundred away round to the place and nature where it now standeth even so one of our gross bodies here below being a piece of the same lump also and all one with that which Heaven once was may by the like art and cunning be refined and parted from all his distempered dross and foul drossiness and brought into a Heavenly nature of the best and goodliest thing in Heaven And yet you must not take me as though I would have 〈…〉 wit of man which is b●t a spark of the divine g● 〈…〉 in my book called Ventus Ingens to be able to reach the excellency of his work and to make so great perfection if he do but shadow it and make a Counterfeit that is if he reach not so far as to make all things but to mend a few by this his Heaven all is well it is as much as I can look for at the hand of any man that is not a Rosie Crucian Now is the time to rest a little and pray for the good use and practice of those that shall read our writing CHAP. XV Of the Rosie Crucian Sun or Spiritual Oyl Of the Divine Works of God not yet observed How we make Aether Examples of Medicines Rosie Crucian and Grecian Of Poison Of the Supernatural Miracles of the Rosie Crucians with obedience to Reason Another Medicine of Supernatural effect Of the power and secret skill of Nature How to dissolve Minerals And how to prepare them for Mens Bodies EUgenius Theodidactus hath shewed you this Heaven Nay this Sun of ours which is nought else as I told you in one of my books of Astrologie but an Oyl full of heavenly Spirits and yet in Quality of his body just even and natural fine and piercing close and lasting able as well to rule this little World as Mr. Thomas Heydon saith the great Sun is able to governe the great World But what is he saies Mr. Iohn Cleeveland that can see this Divine Art and Way whereby God made his great and mighty work viz {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} as I shewed in my Book intituled Moses speech to God upon the second chapter of Genesis or if he saw it learne and match it by imitation I answer None but Rosie Crucians to whom I am a friend and they God hath enlightned and unsealed their eyes they have found the way lying open in all places and in all Natural changes they see them pass and travel I say still the course that Heydon calls soft and witty that is kindly separation and if he be not swift and rash as many such as Thomas Vaughan and Street but will have sober patience his own skill and labour will be but little if he please for Nature her self very kindly will in her due time performe all and even all that heavenly workmanship be easily performed and yet I mean not so but that Art must accompany and attend upon Nature though with no great pains and skill both forward and backward in this Journey Doctour French knows my meaning so doth Doctour Owen if his angry Censure will suffer his Natural judgement until he come to his wished rest and to the top of all perfection If you perceive not consider the way whereby we made our Ether in our book abovenamed and matched our own first moisture a thing Etherial I say and almost Temperate mark what I say there is a further end in the matter hold on the same means whereby you came so far through The wise mans Crown and are gone so far in the Way to bliss which is that I spake of and you may reach it Then you see the way to cure all diseases by the third way of Egyptian healing which they doe and we may well call it the Egyptians Heaven and yet it is a way far beneath the Rosie Crucian Art of Healing as we shall shew hereafter But if they will not yeeld yet to reason but mutter stil Thomas Street-like that these Heavenly Medicines of ours are very high for the reach of mens silly wits here strowed below upon the ground for other lesser and baser uses and that no man since the first man or if I will say Moses was the first that first found out these inventions as they call them after Adam and that none but the successors of Moses have been ever yet known to have found and wrought the same I will not stand to beat reason into such giddy-braindmen but go to the other two waies of healing which the Egyptians found out and used and called the first Mineral Medicines and these Moses taught the children of Israel in the valley of mount Sinai when he took the Golden Calf which he had made and calcined it in the fire and ground it to powder and incorporated it with a Solar Veagle and made the children of Israel drink Aurum potabile And the next mysteries and secrets as may appear by Riverius his speaking of Rosie Crucian Secrets we fitly may call this second kind because that is too large a Name if it be lawful for us as well as for all other Learned men where a fit word wants to make a new we may do well I say to call it a Cure it self because it is by that way of healing whereby every self same thing further broken may cure it self and this inward and hidden thing as they say the outward and apparent by the course of kind whereby the stronger like eates up in triall and consumes the weaker If this leave be once granted we will borrow a little more for the other two likewise because their names are not pertinent to our purpose and call that Heaven a Cure-all for so it doth and the next a Cure-the Great because the Order of the Rosie Crucians is alwayes to match the greater and more stubborn sort of diseases with the Stout and mighty minerals and the rest with those hidden cure-themselves or at least in the lower rank of lighter diseases with their likes onely raw as the Grecians use them without any curious dressing Let us draw nearer a conclusion of the matter because Grecians themselves are able and our English Physicians that learn of them to cure the lighter sort of diseases and to heal all but the four aforesaid we will leave the rest for them and so let this second kind of healing go called our hidden cure themselves and bend all our batteries against these four which they call incurable and see how by force of our Mineral Medicines they may be cured we see the Poysoned spirits and breaths of venomous things with what force they work upon our bodies things in Nature set against them and how they consume them If you do not see by imagination reason with your selves if not remember those above named that killed

was present when some have vomited up Needles Thimbles Shreds of Cloth pieces of Pots Glass Hair another would suffer himself for money to be run thorow with a sword when I was not there but it appeared to me a Fable I have seen a Rosie Crucian Physician cure these afflicted People But if you will say There is a touchstone whereby we may discerne the truth of Metals but that there is nothing whereby we may discover the truth of Miracles recorded every where in History But I answer there is and that is this First If what is recorded was avouched by such persons who had no end nor interest in avouching such things Secondly if there were many eye-witnesses of the same matter Thirdly and lastly If these things which are so strange and miraculous leave any sensible effects behind them Though I will not acknowledge that all those Stories are false that want these Conditions yet I dare affirme that it is meer Humour and Sullenness in a man to reject the Truth of those that hear them For it is to believe nothing but what he seeth himself from whence it will follow That he is to read nothing of History for there is neither Pleasure nor any usefulnesse if it deserve no Belief Another Remedy for these Supernatural diseases is Let one watch the party Suspected when they go home to their house and presently after before any body goe into the house after him or her let one pull a handful of the Thatch or a Tyle that is over the Door and if it be a Tyle make a good Fire and heat it red hot therein setting a Trivet over it then take the parties Water if it be a Man Woman or Child and poure it upon the red hot Tyle upon one side first and then on the other and again put the Tyle into the Fire and make it extremely hot turning it ever and anon and let no body come into the house in the mean time If they be Cattle that are bewitched take some of the Hair of every one of them and mix the Hair in fair water or wet it well and then lay it under the Tyle the Trevet standing over the Tyle make a lusty fire turne your Tyle oft upon the Hair and stir up the Hair ever and anon after you have done this by the space of a quarter of an hour let the fire alone and when the Ashes are cold bury them in the ground towards that quarter of Heaven where the suspected Witch lives this Mr. Lilly saith he hath experienced If the Witch live where there is no Tyle but Thatch then take a great handful thereof and wet it in the parties Water or else in common Water mixed with some Salt then lay it in the Fire so that it may molter and smother by degrees and in a long time setting a Trivet over it Or else take two new Horse-shooes heat them red hot and nail one of them on the Threshold of the Door but quench the other in the Urine of the party so bewitched then set the Urine over the fire and put the Horse-shooe in it setting a Tryvet over the Pipkin or Pan wherein the Urine is make the urine boil with a little salt put into it and the Horse nailes until it s almost consumed viz. the Urine what is not boiled fully away pour into the fire Keep your Hors-shoe and Nails in a clean Cloth or Paper and do likewise three several times the operation will be far more effectual if you do these things at the very change or full Moon or at the very hour of the first or second Quarter If they be Cattel you must mix the hair of their Tails with the Thatch and moisten them being well bound together and so let them be a long time in the fire consuming You have heard the Cause of some of these diseases and have heard the Cure by Sympathie also but these are without the compass of Nature and so let them pass with our fickle standing which is daily and hourely so beset with destinies that a man can warrant nothing Truly destinies are so deep and bottomless to return straight Homer-like upon them and therefore it were best indeed to let them goe and the applying of the Medicines with them The rather because the other I mean the former is so slight a matter to a discreet Physician such a one as is pointed out by their old and famous Leader Hippocrates who both in this and all other duties of his Art made such speed and so far passed all his fellowes as none since which is a good time could ever overtake him no nor yet come so neer as to keep the sight of him whom they had in chase and followed Then for those Supernatural causes which I shall not stand here to search for so they are called if they flow from unclean and wicked Spirits as some think they are not the Stuff of the things that hurt us though somtimes they dwell in and possess the body but windy matters much like unto those fierce and sudden changes of the Weather proceeding from the Influences of the Planets and fixed Stars and working the like effects in mens bodies so that sith the nearest cause is Natural let the rest be what they will and the Cure be done by Natural means as we see by experience amongst us And therefore E. A. that pretends this and puts the fault in the Faith of the wicked which is a thing as far above Nature yet holds its Cure with a Natural Medicine which we call a Quintessence Although I am not willing that sometimes this sickness is such as he bids us sometimes withstand it with another as strong a belief set against it but for my part I cannot reach it with my conceit let deeper heads then mine or the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford Doctor Owen think upon it how these beliefs and imaginations and other parts and powers of the soul or mind of man can so flye out of their own kingdome and Reigne over a forraign body when we know the Soul and minde is so fast bound in the body indurance and so like to be untill it be the great pleasure of the Omnipotent and the Omnissent God the chief good who hath committed them to let them loose at once and set them full at Liberty and this may be disputed with Grace and knowledge on my part Let this man therefore buzze against my knowledge which he would have to be more then Grace I appeal to the Naturall faculties of any free judge whether there be not as much Grace in me as there is honesty in him All men censure as they like of Stories so let them pass amongst old wives tales for me we will severely follow our task That if the effect do not cease which the object hath wrought upon the Brain so soon as ever by turning aside of the Organs the object ceaseth to work viz. though the sence be past As the stroke of a

our rest a little and then we will conclude our Rosie Crucian Medicines CHAP. XVI How the Rosie Crucians make a Chirurgeons instrument that it shall pierce through any part of the whole body without sense or feeling and sound the depth of a wound The difference of Common Physicians Raw Blunt and herby medicines and Rosie Crucians What a Physician ought to be what they ought to learn and what they ought to practise and then I shall love them of the order of the Rosie Cross BUt I wear away time in vain to speak so much about t is matter and yet sith all are not of like Capacity I will adde one yet familiar example when a Surgeon goeth about to search a wound that is deep if he thrust at it with a Butchers prick he would move Laughter let him take a Thorwe and it wil pierce somewhat prettily but to do it throughly and at his pleasure he will use though to the great grief of his Patient a fine and long instrument of Mettal But a right Surgeon the common ones are but Butchers such a one as is a Physician and Astrologer nay a Rosie Crucian also would touch his Instrument with a Loadstone that is commonly found to make it pierce throughout the body without all sense or feeling Even so good Physicians such an one as the Lord Marques of Worcester had whom he taught many fine inventions he told me of a Golden ball that this Lord made that let him throw it into a River or Pool it would arise aagain from the bottom at what hour he pleased This noble Marques shewed me a key of the lock that would tell him who touched it Nay if it fortuned to be pickt he could know who did it and what was taken away before their faces and many rare things I have seen this princely Philosopher do which his excellency was pleased to shew me such as these are hard to be found in this Government where none of these can live without great envie If one of these Rosie Crucians be to encounter with our greatest enemies these four we speak of he would not I hope if he were a true Rosie Crucian be so mad as to thrust at them with the Raw and blunt Herby Medicines such as Dr. Scarborough prescribe no nor although they be sharpened by Iacob Heydon by plain distillations neither would he I think for pitty sting the poor patieni with Eugenius Philalethes Martyrdome of rude and rank Minerals and unless they were made into a fine clean natural and temperate quality which would work mightily and destroy either of these four great diseases Leprosie Gout Dropsie and Falling sickness but feed Comfort or at least not offend and hurt his patient they labour in vain that practise otherwise These are the medecines which I onely use and which a good and wise Physician ought onely to seek and follow and if he cannot find it let him use the cure themselves But such a thing as this I say brought to this equality and fineness of frame and temper were it at the first wight plant or mineral was it which our father and founder Moses the chief of the Rosie Cross said is like to Heaven and the strength of all strengths piercing and subduing all things This was it that warranted his Sons the rosie Crucians to avow so stoutly that Art was long and Life short and all diseases curable when Hippocrates the Father of Common Physicians was driven by the infirmity and endless matter of his weak body and envious mind tinctured with Covetousness and fickle Medicines to cry to Rosie Crucians but they would not hear such hard-hearted Fellows nor give him long Life he said therefore that Art was long and Life was short And whereas he and his off-spring were fain to leave many diseased helpless to the great shame of Art and Plague of mankind is it any marvel when as they prick at them as I said with a Butchers-prick Nay see what they do by their practice they be so far from all help and comfort to the Patient in greatest danger that they increase his wiser eys many waies except the great easer of all pain and their common Medicine Death be quickly administred First they make the Patient suffer the punishment due to their own slothful Idleness burdening his stomach with that labour of loosnening and sundering the Fine from the Gross which they should before have taken into their Glasses and then by doing these often they clean tire his feeble Nature as it would tire a horse when as by stripping the foul and gross stuff that dulls the working and reteining the Vertue in a narrow strong body they might doe as much at one time as they doe now in twenty and because their Medicines applyed are of smaller power and weaker than the things that hurt us they feed nourish and strengthen the disease and sickness but for all this if some of this company and side of Leeches have been and are yet sometimes able to heal all diseases in our body though with much ado as you have heard save the four named remediless yea and those aswell in their spring as before their ripeness as they themselves report Is there any Proportion in Geometry Let the College of Physicians lay measures why the Rosie Crucian mighty Medicines which I call Cure-the-greats passing these in power as much as the ripeness of a disease is above the Spring shall not overmatch the ripe as well as the green Diseases Wherefore there be no doubts left but this plainly true That albeit the Grecians is weak and halting in this kind of healing yet is the Egyptian or as now they terme it the Paracelsians and Mineral skill sufficient to cure all diseases Then I have paid the whole summe of my promise touching the second means and helps to Bliss and Happiness which is Life and Health Before I close I think it very meet while the time and place very fitly serveth to do a good deed and this shall be my intent to admonish and exhort the Grecian Leaches and their Scholars the English Spanish and French Physicians whom if they follow Hippocrates Plato Pythagoras and his fellows I love for their Learning and pitty for their misleading others although it be grievous I know to old Scholars wone in a kind of Learning to unlearne all as it were and begin again for their own Credit and Virtue yea and profit sake also if they esteem that best to leave those Gilded Pills and Sugred Baits and all other crafty snares wherewith the World hath been so long caught and so long tormented and to seek this onely heavenly Society as to you that are learned easily may temper your selves and be acquainted with the ready true plain and certain way of Healing diseases I think in former time they were not greatly to be blamed and accused but of dulness and weakness of understanding in not applying and seeing this perfection and supplying
