you till it bee all dissolved Then dissolue that salt in raine water three or foure times and looke whether there remaine any salt in the bottome undissolved and if there remaine none it is well prepared or else not and it is called Sal philosophorum or sapientiae and when it is dissolved into cleare water that the salt may remaine very dry in the bottome the which ye shall keepe in a glasse close there for it is a mod excellent medicine against all diseases of the body for it will leaue nothing in a mans body that shall hurt him but it doth driue it forth by sweat and maketh the Patient as sound and whole as ever he was in all his life It helpeth all outward sores as the Canker the Wolfe Fistulaes and such like This being taken inwardly doth helpe those outward diseases most wonderfull for it helpeth them in three or foure dayes and when yee will occupy it against such diseases yee shall use it in this manner Yee shall take a Viall full of wine and put therein two or three graines of that salt for it is sufficient for any sicke person for any kind of diseases then stop that Viall and set it in warme water untill the salt be dissolved then giue the sicke person thereof to drinke warme and lay him downe to sweat for it will cause him to sweat wonderfully therefore keepe him from the cold in any wise for that sweat will bring him to health againe although he were a Leaper so that it come not by nature of his mother for if it come by kind there is no helpe that I doe know yet neverthelesse this medicine can not hurt nor yet it cannot helpe him But other sicknesses although they were never so evill or sore it will helpe them It helps the Pestilence miraculously in one day and likewise the poxe in short time giving it as is aforesaid in wine and lay thereon and sweat and when thou wilt helpe any outward sore thou shalt lay thereon a wound plaister and let him drinke the said salt with wine morning and evening as is said afore and in short space they shall be holpen The order to distill vineger to make the aforesaid salts TAke good strong renish wine vineger and distill it in a Limbecke of glasse and giue it first a small fire till halfe be distilled then take it away for it is nothing worth to our worke then taste it on thy tongue whether it be sharpe or no if it bee not sharpe it is not good if not keepe that small fire till the liquor come forth sowre yee shall note that the worst of the vineger distilleth first then distill that which is last with a reasonable fire till it bee almost distilled but yee may not distill it all quite out lest it should stinke of the fire and waxe red for then will it not serue our purpose Moreover yee shall note that it may not drop faster but that a man may say a Pater noster betweene To draw forth the salt of Arsnicke THe salt of Arsenicke is a marvellous salt but it is sharpe and corosiue and the order to make it is thus Take Arsnicke ʒ i. which is fixed and dissolue it in Aqua fortis made of salt Peter and Allum and when it is dissolved put thereon raine water till it sincke to the bottome and when it is suncke to the bottome let it stand to settle then poure off that part which is clear and put on more fresh water and let it seeth and then let it settle and poure off the water againe and then poure on more and this order yee shall use untill the water come off as sweet as yee put it on then calcine it sixe dayes and sixe nights then poure thereon distilled vineger and seeth it in Balneo Mariae to dissolue and at night let it settle and waxe cleare then poure off that which is cleare and put on more and let it stand a day to dissolue as I said afore and then let it waxe cleare and then poure off the cleare parts This yee must doe three times as is said of gold and then dry it very well and put thereon faire raine water till it be dissolved and when it is dissolved yee shall make no more fire under it but let it waxe cold and then poure the cleare parts off and distill it in Balneo Mariae untill it be dry and then you shall find your salt in the ground as white as the snow which is most excellent against the Canker the Wolfe and such like as commeth of wounds c. Yee shall helpe them thus Take of this salt ℈ j. and put thereto ʒ j. of Vnguentum fuscum and therewith dresse the sores and they will heale in short time though they were never so old and therefore if thou wilt understand wherefore it serues looke in my pearle of Chirurgery and also in the Chirurgery of Paraselsus To make Oyle of Mettals and first of Lead and Tinne IF you will make oyle of these two Mettalles yee must first calcine them as I haue shewed you and then dissolue them in the aforesaid strong water and when they bee dissolved let them stand till it bee as cleare as a glasse then distill away the water by a Limbecke till it remaine dry and when it is dry put thereon good distilled vineger and set it in Balneo Mariae to dissolua a whole day and let it boyle and then let it waxe cold and settle then poure off that part which is cleare and distill it in an other glasse and when your matter is dry put thereon other distilled vineger and let it seeth so long untill it bee dissolved then distill away the vineger and then put on more vineger this dissolving and distilling yee shall use so long untill the matter remaine in the bottome like oyle then put it forth whilest it is yet warme for when it is cold it is so tough as yee cannot get it from the glasse This oyle so made is most excellent for it helpes wounds and sores in very short time and moreover there is no oyle amongst all the secrets of Phisicke or Surgery that heales a wound sooner then this oyle doth for it helpes them in foure and twenty houres so as there bee no bones broke or cut c. There is an other manner of making of this oyle which is better wherof wee will not write in this place To make Oyle of Copper and of Crocum Martis or Iron THese mettalles yee must first calcine and then dissolue them in strong water then put thereon raine water till the mettall sincke to the bottome then put to so much raine water till it haue no taste of the strong water then dry it well and put thereon distilled Vineger and set it in Balneo to dissolue then distill away the Vineger till it remaine dry then put thereon fresh Vineger and distill that away till that the matter remaine dry and this
