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 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.
