one to silver Talck to Tin Bismuthum to Lead Zincum to Copper Cadmia to Iron Stibium to Mercury c. Consule Paracelsum in tertio Archidox Throni or Tronos and Tronossa in the wild Language or rather Canting of Paracelsus implies a rorid Meteor or Celestial dew being a species of Manna in sweetness density tenacity and whiteness far transcending all other generated by the Mercury of the midle region infusing its astral seminality into the fertil matrix of the Aër and wholly separated and refined from all Sulphur and Salt This delicate extract of the Stars is in good plenty found if we regard the time of its distillation in the spring and entrance of harvest when the Sun begins to leave the torrid Negro and make his more temperate courtship to the starry Virgin if the place in most Eastern Countries upon the leaves of Trees and Herbs Thereniaben or Tereniabin meaneth the same which the more regular and orthographical pen of Aristotle hath properly named 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 mel aereum vel roscidum an oleaginous kinde of wild hony not confected by the Chymistry of Bees but distilling from the Retort of the inferior Aër upon Meadows Campaniaes Trees and Herbs This delicate collation the civility of the Planets entertaineth us with in the moneths of June July and August as if they intended the refreshment of the laborious swain exhausted by the heat of Summer and sweat of Harvest The Antients called it Threr if we may credit the traduction of Dornaeus in his comment upon the distracted meteorology of Paracelsus Nostoch understandeth the nocturnal Pollution of some plethorical and wanton Star or rather excrement blown from the nostrils of some rheumatick planet falling upon spacious plains fields and sheep pastures of an obscure red or brown tawny in consistence like a gelly and so trembling if touched which the philosophy of the clouted shooe affirms to be the ruines of a Star fallen Some there are saith Dornaeus who by Nostoch intend Wax but by the favor of a metaphor Nebulgea we English a Salt or Nitrous exudation and destillament from the clouds by the deliquium of the colder aër resolved into an unctuous liquor and descending upon solid and stony bodies which suffering induration by the exhalement of its aqueous parts assumes solidity and by the interest of exact similitude and cognation doth more then pretend unto the dignity of celestial Nitre Laudanum if the same that all the Druggists of Europe call Ladanum is the Woodfeer or liquid spumous exudation of the shrub Cistus or Ledon growing in great plenty in the Island Cyprus which the Natives unless the syth of time hath lighted upon that custom since the days of Dioscorides use every Spring to gather from off the long shaggy hairs of the thighs and beards of Goats feeding among and brushing themselves against the stalks and leaves of the plant and after due clarification and percolation thereof to conserve in convenient pots But if in the account of Helmont a kinde of aëreal meteor or production arising from the coition and conspiracy of some seminary celestial influx with fit and proportionate matter the fat evaporations of Plants we confess that after a tedious search of Paracelsus Severinus Dorneus and other●… his interpreters we cannot receive positive satisfaction concerning its name nature manner of generation or specifical difference but must acquie●…ce in a contented ignorance of what it is We dare not countenance error or stifle our own habilities of disquisition so far as not to take notice of the incogitancy or partiality of our Helmont in ascribing the honor of the invention of Hoplocrism or the Cure of Wounds by unction of the weapon to his Master Paracelsus When we stand confirmed upon evidence of substantial and convictive Arguments that this secret is much younger then Paracelsus as bearing no date of its revealment beyond those yeers wherein he had long confessed his dust and experimentally confuted his own arrogant Treatise of the art of spinning out the thread of Mans life to a length equal with the clue of Time and making our vital Oyl of the same durable and invincible temper with that which maintaineth the flames of Eternal Lamps For first upon strict and introth tedious lecture of all the leaves of the extant Works of Paracelsus we cannot meet with any the least mention of it nor indeed the grave Libavius before us as he solemnly professeth in Apocalypseos Hermeticae parte priore cap. ultim And to those who have appealed to posthume Manuscripts and gloried in their inheritance of some Papers bequeathed to the secret custody of Opporinus his Amanuensis we must with smiles rejoyn that a sober and well ordered belief can as soon swallow down the monstrous figment of the Book of Adam which the impious credulity of Magicians doth confidently deliver to be given by the Archangel Rhaziel unto him immediately upon his exile from Paradise and contrition for his sin and from Adam devolved to Seth from him to Enoch from him to Noah thence to Sem afterwards to Abraham Isaac Jacob Levi Caath Amram Moses Joshua and so down to the Prophets and holy Seers successively whereby they were in a moment illuminated the veil of sin withdrawn from the eye of their reason and all those mountains of fleshly lust which hindered the prospect of the intellect l●…lled so that they beheld Nature face to face and freely gazed upon all her beautiful parts in the nakedness of their Essences and Forms devested of all corporeity Again though an Argument drawn from the printed sheets of Paracelsus be of no considerable validity in regard he is so ridiculously subject to self-contradiction through all his works that a witty Adversary might easily beat him out of the Schools with his own weapons yet it may be lawful for us from the masterpeice of his pen his tract of Chirurgery to collect some proof that he was wholly a stranger to the doctrine or practise of Hoplochrism For in that discourse reducing all the several kindes of Vulnerary remedies to a constant method he is positive that there is no other Curation of a wound but what is performed either by means of the Natural Balsam or by the apposition of Brassidella upon the green wound or by Magorreo the first of which is Natural and the same that all rational Physicians allow the second Brassidellical so denominated from the Herb Adderstongue or Ophioglossum which he was pleased to nickname Brassidella the third Magical for Magorreo in the interpretation of Dornaeus is Medicamentum Magicum and who can finde amongst these differences any room for the intrusion of the Sympathetical Armary Unguent Lastly if the exceeding Candor of any willing to palliate this lapse of our Helmont recur to Authority and transfer the guilt upon Baptista Porta from whom in probability this erroneous tradition was derived down to our Century who fathers the
