nothing_o hyperbolical_a nor_o any_o thing_n thrasonick_a basilius_n in_o speak_v as_o he_o do_v have_v not_o exhaust_v the_o praise_n of_o antimony_n because_o no_o man_n unto_o this_o day_n can_v ever_o experience_n all_o its_o virtue_n we_o have_v see_v many_o of_o its_o effect_n and_o many_o new_a effect_n be_v daily_o find_v by_o curious_a searcher_n yet_o many_o more_o remain_v unknown_a so_o that_o as_o in_o fire_n be_v a_o inexhaustible_a fountain_n for_o the_o more_o you_o take_v from_o it_o the_o more_o it_o give_v so_o in_o antimony_n be_v a_o inestimable_a treasure_n of_o new_a virtue_n for_o if_o from_o it_o you_o extract_v its_o acetum_fw-la a_o thousand_o time_n it_o will_v a_o thousand_o time_n yield_v new_a acetum_fw-la nature_n seem_v to_o have_v make_v choice_n of_o this_o mineral_n therein_o to_o hide_v all_o her_o treasure_n therefore_o not_o without_o reason_n have_v basilius_n make_v for_o it_o a_o triumphant_a chariot_n which_o be_v daily_o enrich_v with_o spoil_n take_v from_o the_o camp_n of_o ignorance_n man_n before_o i_o and_o at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v none_o find_v who_o have_v so_o thorough_o learn_v the_o power_n virtue_n strength_n operation_n and_o efficacy_n of_o antimony_n or_o so_o profound_o penetrate_v into_o all_o the_o energy_n thereof_o as_o nothing_o more_o be_v latent_fw-la in_o it_o unfound_a out_o or_o which_o can_v be_v bring_v to_o light_v by_o experience_n if_o such_o a_o man_n can_v be_v find_v he_o will_v be_v worthy_a to_o be_v carry_v about_o in_o a_o triumphant_a chariot_n as_o in_o time_n past_a be_v grant_v to_o monarch_n and_o potent_a hero_n after_o they_o have_v happy_o fight_v battle_n and_o be_v return_v with_o victory_n but_o i_o fear_v that_o many_o of_o our_o doctor_n will_v be_v constrain_v to_o provide_v a_o chariot_n for_o themselves_o for_o the_o master_n of_o this_o terrene_a world_n be_v so_o entangle_v with_o their_o own_o thought_n that_o they_o seek_v nothing_o from_o antimony_n but_o riches_n and_o forget_v to_o search_v its_o utility_n for_o medicine_n and_o the_o health_n of_o the_o body_n which_o notwithstanding_o aught_o above_o all_o thing_n to_o be_v seek_v that_o be_v bring_v to_o light_n the_o wonderful_a work_n of_o our_o god_n may_v be_v make_v manifest_a and_o the_o glory_n give_v to_o he_o with_o great_a thankfulness_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v but_o that_o more_o of_o riches_n and_o health_n may_v be_v find_v in_o it_o than_o either_o you_o all_o or_o i_o myself_o can_v believe_v for_o i_o profess_v myself_o no_o other_o than_o a_o disciple_n in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o antimony_n although_o in_o it_o i_o have_v see_v experience_v and_o learn_v more_o than_o you_o and_o all_o such_o as_o you_o be_v who_o arrogate_v to_o yourselves_o great_a skill_n therein_o either_o have_v learned_a or_o ever_o can_v learn_v yet_o no_o man_n shall_v therefore_o be_v trouble_v or_o despair_v of_o his_o well_o do_v since_o god_n wonderful_o dispense_v his_o good_n and_o benefit_n but_o because_o the_o world_n indulge_v their_o own_o ingratitude_n have_v neither_o esteem_v nor_o with_o due_a reverence_n acknowledge_v the_o munificence_n of_o the_o most_o high_a but_o have_v prefer_v riches_n before_o health_n god_n have_v spread_v as_o it_o be_v a_o spider_n webb_n before_o their_o eye_n that_o be_v blind_a they_o may_v not_o know_v the_o secret_n of_o nature_n abscond_v in_o the_o form_n of_o this_o mineral_n all_o man_n cry_v out_o rich_a rich_a we_o will_v be_v i_o confess_v you_o all_o aspire_v to_o riches_n and_o with_o the_o epicure_n say_v the_o body_n must_v first_o be_v provide_v for_o the_o soul_n may_v at_o length_n also_o find_v somewhat_o and_o with_o m_n das_fw-la as_o in_o the_o fable_n you_o desire_v that_o all_o thing_n whatsoever_o you_o touch_v may_v be_v turn_v into_o gold_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o seek_v their_o desire_a riches_n in_o antimony_n but_o because_o they_o accept_v not_o that_o gift_n of_o the_o creator_n with_o a_o grateful_a heart_n which_o before_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v procure_v and_o cast_v the_o love_n of_o their_o neighbour_n behind_o their_o back_n therefore_o they_o in_o vain_a look_v the_o horse_n in_o the_o mouth_n for_o they_o know_v his_o age_n and_o strength_n no_o more_o than_o the_o guest_n at_o the_o marriage-feast_n in_o cana_n of_o galilee_n know_v the_o wonderful_a work_n which_o christ_n there_o wrought_v when_o he_o turn_v water_n into_o wine_n they_o know_v that_o wine_n be_v water_n and_o that_o the_o water_n be_v turn_v into_o wine_n they_o perceive_v by_o the_o taste_n but_o how_o that_o transmutation_n happen_v be_v hide_v from_o they_o for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n our_o saviour_n reserve_v that_o supernatural_a work_n to_o himself_o as_o a_o testimony_n of_o his_o omnipotency_n wherefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v every_o man_n duty_n to_o search_v out_o the_o mystery_n and_o arcanum_n which_o the_o creator_n have_v insit_v in_o all_o creature_n for_o although_o as_o we_o say_v it_o be_v not_o credible_a that_o we_o man_n can_v thorough_o learn_v and_o penetrate_v all_o thing_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o forbid_v to_o inquire_v into_o they_o since_o by_o study_n and_o diligence_n so_o much_o may_v be_v effect_v as_o although_o through_o some_o defect_n a_o man_n be_v hinder_v in_o such_o wise_a as_o he_o can_v attain_v to_o the_o desire_a riches_n and_o perfect_a sanity_n yet_o he_o may_v acquire_v enough_o to_o occasion_v he_o not_o to_o repent_v of_o his_o labour_n but_o rather_o to_o minister_v unto_o he_o matter_n of_o joy_n and_o rejoice_v that_o he_o see_v himself_o so_o far_o a_o adeptist_n as_o he_o stand_v always_o oblige_v to_o render_v thanks_o to_o his_o creator_n therefore_o whosoever_o desire_v to_o become_v a_o perfect_a anatomist_n of_o antimony_n the_o first_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v by_o he_o be_v solution_n of_o the_o body_n and_o in_o order_n to_o this_o he_o must_v take_v it_o in_o a_o convenient_a place_n and_o propose_v to_o himself_o the_o right_a way_n that_o he_o be_v not_o seduce_v into_o devious_a path_n second_o he_o must_v observe_v the_o governance_n of_o the_o fire_n take_v care_n that_o it_o be_v neither_o too_o much_o nor_o too_o little_a or_o too_o hot_a or_o too_o cold_a for_o the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v site_v in_o a_o exact_a governance_n of_o the_o fire_n by_o which_o the_o vivify_a spirit_n of_o antimony_n be_v extract_v and_o loose_v from_o their_o bond_n and_o so_o render_v capable_a to_o manifest_v their_o effect_n operative_o also_o he_o must_v take_v great_a care_n that_o this_o operative_a virtue_n be_v not_o mortify_v and_o perish_v by_o adustion_n three_o the_o use_n or_o dose_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v by_o he_o that_o he_o may_v administer_v it_o in_o due_a manner_n know_v the_o measure_n as_o i_o above_o mention_v when_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o five_o principal_a head_n requisite_a in_o the_o exercise_n and_o practice_n of_o chemistry_n but_o here_o i_o only_a hint_n at_o it_o cursory_o by_o way_n of_o a_o parable_n by_o resolution_n the_o sum_n of_o the_o matter_n be_v propose_v but_o by_o fire_n it_o be_v prepare_v to_o profit_n for_o a_o butcher_n cut_v out_o a_o ox_n and_o divide_v it_o into_o part_n but_o no_o man_n can_v profitable_o enjoy_v this_o flesh_n unless_o he_o first_o boil_v it_o by_o fire_n by_o which_o operation_n the_o red_a substance_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v change_v and_o prepare_v into_o white_a aliment_n if_o a_o man_n constrain_v by_o hunger_n shall_v eat_v that_o raw_a and_o red_a flesh_n it_o will_v be_v venom_n to_o he_o rather_o than_o medicine_n because_o the_o natural_a heat_n of_o the_o stomach_n be_v too_o weak_a to_o concoct_v and_o digest_v that_o crude_a body_n hence_o my_o dear_a friend_n you_o may_v conclude_v that_o since_o antimony_n have_v great_a venom_n and_o a_o more_o gross_a mineral_n body_n than_o animal_n flesh_n as_o by_o the_o above_o recite_v common_a example_n i_o have_v already_o show_v it_o will_v also_o prove_v more_o perilous_a if_o use_v crude_a without_o preparation_n separation_n and_o coction_n by_o fire_n yea_o it_o will_v be_v and_o remain_v venom_n which_o will_v sudden_o kill_v the_o sick_n therefore_o the_o venenosity_n of_o antimony_n be_v so_o to_o be_v take_v away_o as_o it_o may_v never_o again_o be_v convert_v into_o venom_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o wine_n which_o be_v once_o by_o putrefaction_n and_o corruption_n turn_v into_o vinegar_n never_o afterward_o yield_v any_o spirit_n of_o wine_n but_o always_o be_v and_o remain_v vinegar_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o the_o spirit_n only_o of_o the_o wine_n be_v separate_v and_o the_o aquosity_n leave_v by_o itself_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n afterward_o exalt_v it_o will_v never_o in_o any_o wise_a be_v change_v into_o vinegar_n although_o it_o
