of a more gros substāce it must niedes when it is destilled make hoot becum more subtill and sharp and draweny to the nature of burning water This ●aith he The lyke may be done of any drinck that maketh drunken as Ale Bier Curmus and Meed specially when it is old and that whiche is sodde with Mill. Hony whyle it is a destilling is wont to ryse vp and run ouer when it is made hoot But this is auoyded when a man destilleth in a cōmun Rose-still by putting vpon it within the pan a wooden siue made with hors hear so that it touch the hony If ye wil destil in a Cucurbita or body of glas mixt with it pure and well wasshed sand make a slow fyre The first water is cast away but the second is kept whiche hath a goulden colour and a litle before the end reed The vse of this water is for wemen to their hear that they may growe be soft and yelow being moystened therwith specially in the sun It amendeth the shedding of the hear It heeleth swelled and blered eyes and putteth away their watery cootes and their duskishnes it heeleth the corners of the eyes that be hurt and ful of wheales It heeleth notably the places that be burned specially them that be soft and ten der so that no skar or blemysh shall remain The latter water that is redish purgeth corrupt mattier in roten byles if thei be washed therwith and lynnen clothes moystened therein be layde vpon them and whē it hath purged them it rayseth the fleshe also Ryffius Reed Vlstadins Of oyles destilled and first generally then

wryteth Ther is also in salt a fatnes which we may maruaill at Plin. but in sum more in sum les For it is an oyly and fat humor that is in mixt thinges not that watery and ea●y to be dryed but an aery

the more massy or dry nature as that which is more pure and les watery Gnaiacum bycause it sinketh in water aboundeth therewith Thinner and lyghter woodes conuert and turne the fat iuice in to Gum or Rosyn wherfor they haue les plenty thereof suche as be more massy and thicker heuier reteine the same as Gnaiacum the walnut trie the Ash Moreouer the very ashes shew that Oyll is in all woodes for the ashes of euery one haue their fatnes whiche it leeueth in lie So durable is the aery fatnes and yet more the fyery as when erth is burned the water goeth out in vapours the other remain part in the ashes parte in the Sout although in both those also sum substaūce of erth remaineth But thies thinges perteine to Philosophers Hovv oile must be dravvn oute of spices as Cloues Nutmegs Saffron Mace and other MOysting mesurably in Aqua vitae rectified circulated any kind of spice what ye will beaten and broken somewhat grose and when they are stiept together at the last destil them wyth a very slowe fyre And when as the Aqua vitae once drawne out cleane the oyle beginneth to still thē take the matter of y e spicesout of the cucutbita and put it in a little bag wel knit and tied w t a thred in a pres for y e purpose pres it out both y e iron plates of the pres wel made hot first The oyle pressed out so must ye destil rectify and circulate that the pure oyle maye be separated from the grosser matter The dregs afterward may be digested or putrified again with the Aqua vitae firste seperated from them and be destilled again And thys waisemeth to be the most commodious and most profitable among other Ryffius but we haue trāslated it as well as we mighte somewhat darker then it shoulde be Hovve oile is dravvne out of vvodes and other like as Cloues by destillacion oute of Cardan Therefore as I did once see it at the first a troubled matter runneth oute caryinge foorthe the more subtill substaunce of the thinge after that a more cleare water commeth oute at the last oyle whiche declareth the sauoure rather of a thynge burnt

but this vertue of the third water perauenture is true if the destillacion be made with wine but if it be with lies as they be wonte with vs it is not true More ouer the stil must not be filled aboue .ii. parts but that the third part may remaine emptye and that the vapoures maye haue their scoupe and romthe Hitherto Lullus Of the strengthes and vertues of Aqua vitae in the boke of Arnold De Villa noua which is written of Aqua vitae ARnold in his boke of Aqua vitae describeth many qualities therof both of it alone and also mixt with other medicins after the destillacion obseruing the order of the .xii. signes from the head to the fete for as he saith a man must minister much more effectuall remedies to the head if a man haue nede at such time as the mone is in the ram and likewise in the other which thinge how true I iudge it I wil not say at this time notwithstanding this wil I say the better learned any man is in oure time the les credit haue they geuen to suche perswacions as the Arabians haue broughte into phisicke Aqua vitae simple and alone saithe Arnold oute of one Theoricus I can not tel whome breaketh an impostume or recours of matter bothe within the body if it be dronke and without as botche if it be annoynted therwith It helpeth read and duskish eies It stauncheth the running and watering of the eies It is good for them that haue the falling sickns if they drink it It cureth the palsy if they be anoynted therwith It sharpneth y ewit it restoreth memori It maketh mē mery preserueth youth It putteth awai fracins ring worms al spots of y e face If it gargild it remedieth y ● diseas in y e throte called synanchen y ● squince the iuila faln down w t humors also the salt fleme the rose drop the touth ache It is merueylous profitable for frētik mē such as be melācholy It erpelleth poysō The smel therof burnt killeth flies cold creping beasts It doth sieth flesh kepeth fishes from roating It restoreth wine that is turned or putrified It draweth forth the vertues of herbes and rotes if they be laid in it .iiii. daies otherwise .iiii. houres excepte onlye the Violet It oughte to be set vp in a glasen or siluer vessell and to be wel stopt There is more of it better made of old wine pure and read This he He that desyreth more concerninge the vertues of Aqua vitae let him read that which we write aboue of y e vertues of certain liquors which our men call goldē and waters of vertues For they ascribe all those powers for the most part as well to Aqua vitae as to the other specially to simple Aqua vitae much more to compound or Aqua composita but chieflye to the quintessens therof Reade more ouer Lullus in the boke of waters I haue sene also a certaine broken worke ascrtbed to Albertus of the vertues of Aqua vitae But practicioners ignorant of thinges and times or els of a purpose to deceiue mē as many as they could haue most impudently fathered many things vpon Galen Hippocrates and Aristotle of the vertues of Aqua vitae or burnynge water as writen by them All kinde of cold passions or greues that be curable it helpeth in shorte space specially diseases of the brain sinewes and ioyntes Also wormes in the bellye biles and all scabbines if it be washt oft therwith it healeth it It helpeth y e splene it killeth all wormes It mēdeth a stinking breth It taketh awaye the disease of the loines The hurt members if they be anoynted therewith it will restore them to their former health It preserueth fishe and flesh from corrupting but before they be eaten they must be washte with common water Camphora put into it will dissolue If cōmon water be poured into it it goeth to the bottom and likewise oyle This writeth Albertus as some alledge The taste of it excedeth all other tastes and the smel all other smelles Lullus It comforteth the natural heat more then any other remeadye it is most holsom for the stomake the harte and the liuer it norysheth blud it agreeth meruelously and most with mans nature it openeth and purgeth y e mouthes and entrances of the membres vaines and poores of the body euery one it auoydeth all obstructions and comforteth them Yea it chaungeth the assections of the minde it taketh awaye sadnes and pensiuenes it maketh men meri witty and encreaseth audacitie Lullus Anoynte the head therwith and it helpeth it of the head ache it killeth the wormes drunken fasting it putteth away sowning it healeth the biles in the priuy mēbers if they be washt therwith it easeth them that be diseased in the stomacke it stauncheth all runninges it preserueth bodies from corruptinge by wormes It auoydeth and kepeth a man frō gray heares It is not permitted to women with child It redresseth the fleame and reume of the hed It encreaseth the ability of accompanying with voemen It is good against thick hearing poured into the eares Mixt with wine and drōk it healeth the falling sicknes If a man hold it longe it taketh away diuers kinde of touth ache It putteth away the blemishes and whit spots in the eies if it be poured into them and auoydeth the running and watering of the same if a man do but hold it in his mouth It letteth the leprosy a space and hideth it It helpeth rotten and materinge biles if linnen cloutes be dipt therin and laid vpon them With a little decoction of parcely it driueth away the stones in the bladder It maketh womē apt to conceiue but anoyeth them that be greate wyth childe It cureth diuers greues it is profitable to be laid vpon broken bones hot with towe or with some plaster It slaketh the cramp in the legs if a man anoynt them therwith He hath no name exprest that sheweth these qualities But the most of them seme to be taken out of Lullus I knew an old woman that was cold and Cathectica to be restored by a handkerchief made warm with Aqua vitae set a fire within it Some alledge the testimony of Constantine of the vertues of burning water Aqua vitae besides other things is commodious and profitable for the strangury and other diseases of the bladder for the tertian ague and quartain also which are ioyned wyth colde humors against the disease called the Wulfe againste wormes againste the sens or painefull fealinge of a mannes bodye lyke vnto biles It furthereth and prouoketh wemens floures It breaketh and putteth awaye the stone in the reins and expelleth a dead child without anye greate paine The issues of the bellye and fluxes it helpeth what so euer they be They say that Aqua vitae is perfite when often measures is made one whiche I suppose will come to passe in the thirde or fourthe

further within Now when certain thinges haue great plentie of their smel and that so strong that it vanisheth not of a long space whiche cummeth bycause the force of smelling is digested equally into the hoole ●ubstance of them it is no wonder if in the same vesselles some waters bee destilled lyke vnto their plantes as of Roses whiche as Theophrastus wryteth doo reteine their sauour very long other sum be vnlyke to their plantes for suche waters as haue their vertue and force in the vttermost and superficial partes they fume out easyly as of wormwode whose smell may be iudged to bee in the same place where his bitter taste is conteined whiche wee fynde to be only in the vtter and superficiall parte For if thou separate the barke from the stalke or the braunches thou shalt fynde that whiche is within to be vnsauery or vnswiete Therfor this difference is not to be required of the grossenes or puritie of y ● partes although I thinke it also to be of some force but rather of this that the strength of any thing is ether distributed equally through y e hoole plāt or els more nie to the midest or vtter parte of the same I am surely of that mynde with Raimunde Lullus that water of the same qualitie may be goten oute of any plant whatsoeuer it bee of colde plantes colde water of hoat hoat of dry dry of moyst moyste But I will not graunte that the same vertue remaineth except lyke sauour or like taste or bothe as in smelling thinges be left The cause why the smell of certain floures as of Iasmin of the floures of cloues remaineth not in the waters c. reade within oute of Cardane wher as we intreate of Balneū Mariae generallye I sawe once an alchymist that destilled not the very herbes them selues but onely the iuse of herbes or busshes renewing certain tymes the destillatiō and powering again y e water vpon y e dregges groūde vpon a marble moler Gnaynerius Oates wherof drinke may be made as Ale or Bear of barly do warme make dronk no lesse then wyne Men say that in Tartaria water of milke destilled maketh men dronke But euery water not an element that is alone without any mixture but lyquor or iuyce mixt and compounded being oft destilled may doo the same for it wareth hoat is fyned and made more pure and receiueth more the force offyre Wherupon burning water being oft destilled is brought to suche sharpnes that it can not bee dronke Cardane Also a lyquor or other thing be destilled the thicker it is the more it semeth to conceiue heate and fyre if it be oft destilled It is manifest saith Cardane that a water may be made whiche shall incōtenent breake the stone in the bladdar if it be put in by a squirt or syring for whan as two thinges ar necessary bothe that it breake the stone and that it hurt not the bladdar the maner and matier wil performe the first for we shall receiue the last vapors of the asshes of scorpions or of persily of Macedonia or of the precious stone called Tecolittius or of the stones of crabes for so may a water be made to breake also the red marble Moreouer that it shall not hurt the bladder is brought thus to pas if the mattier out of which the water is taken be voyde of all saltnes A man must not take therfor water of any salt kind of thing or alum or coperoos or of wyne lies but some of them that wee mēcioned erewhyle But ther is nied of diligent triall in cōfirming a subtile meanes that such things which we haue serched oute so subtilly being surely confirmed first by experience and profe we may then deduce and bring them to the cōmoditie of man In dede I know that pigeōs donge and paritary ether th one or thother destilled by this meanes is able too breake the hardest stoone that euer was in any bladder But what that is whiche shall doo it and withoute damage a man muste declare by experiēce for both a hea goates bloud and a hares skin and glas ar much approued by reason Notwithstanding no one of thies perauenture alone but some of them toyned together and in a certain quantitie Suche a thing surely must be of metall or at least wyse chaunged to y e nature of metall I hard ouce that it was founde of a certain man of Ianua but lost again by his death who would make no man priuie to it nor teache it to any man But this once sure that it is possible to finde it and that this is the arte and science of the same Hitherto Cardane Perauenture also Chrysocolla would helpe vnto this art being artificiusly made and withoute sharpnes suche as is also praised of the goldsmithes wherfor to make Borace sum vse rain water destilled and milke destilled sum also hony marow c.
