superficies_n of_o this_o powder_n from_o whence_o the_o purge_a faculty_n proceed_v as_o be_v plain_o show_v in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n be_v cold_a therefore_o ꝑ_n conclude_v

then_o very_a little_a work_n by_o siege_n or_o vomit_v or_o nothing_o at_o all_o by_o reason_n the_o first_o day_n it_o do_v evacuate_v all_o the_o humour_n within_o the_o stomach_n and_o bowel_n which_o it_o then_o meet_v withal_o now_o all_o other_o purge_v attractive_a be_v take_v again_o the_o second_o day_n will_v work_v afresh_o because_o they_o still_o draw_v mo_z humour_n out_o of_o

which_o may_v be_v note_v the_o excellency_n and_o pre-eminence_n that_o this_o purge_n have_v above_o all_o other_o purge_v medicine_n in_o the_o world_n for_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v which_o galen_n himself_o confess_v in_o his_o book_n entitle_v quos_fw-la purgare_fw-la oportet_fw-la that_o all_o purge_a medicine_n which_o work_v by_o attraction_n be_v very_o offensive_a to_o

and_o unnatural_a pull_n and_o rive_v the_o humour_n from_o blood_n wherein_o life_n consist_v nature_n can_v hardly_o endure_v this_o separation_n be_v before_o so_o firm_o unite_v together_o without_o her_o great_a detriment_n and_o loss_n of_o many_o spirit_n the_o inconvenience_n and_o vice_n whereof_o i_o will_v show_v at_o large_a in_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n now_o this_o purge_n of_o gold_n see_v it_o work_v not_o by_o attraction_n can_v be_v scandalize_v with_o any_o of_o those_o blot_n neither_o can_v any_o such_o symptom_n follow_v it_o but_o happy_o some_o may_v here_o object_v that_o if_o it_o only_o purge_v leniendo_fw-la and_o lubricando_fw-la and_o not_o attrahendo_n how_o can_v it_o remove_v and_o purge_v stubborn_a and_o rebellious_a humour_n out_o of_o the_o vein_n and_o solid_a remote_a part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o then_o not_o be_v able_a to_o remove_v they_o how_o can_v it_o be_v good_a almost_o for_o any_o disease_n and_o to_o conclude_v it_o be_v as_o good_a to_o take_v a_o glister_n or_o eat_v a_o little_a cassia_n manna_n or_o stew_v prune_n as_o to_o take_v this_o golden_a purge_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o it_o purge_v not_o the_o humour_n within_o the_o vein_n and_o fleshy_a part_n by_o attraction_n yet_o it_o do_v either_o help_n nature_n to_o digest_v they_o or_o expel_v they_o by_o sweat_n and_o urine_n which_o be_v a_o direct_a course_n according_a to_o nature_n own_o proceed_n so_o you_o see_v that_o it_o do_v work_v by_o vomit_n siege_n sweat_n and_o urine_n according_a as_o nature_n be_v burden_v and_o overlade_v for_o if_o the_o stomach_n be_v oppress_v with_o light_a choler_n water_n and_o phlegm_n it_o purge_v they_o by_o vomit_n if_o the_o intestine_n and_o low_a part_n be_v overcharge_v with_o choler_n water_n or_o phlegm_n it_o work_v by_o siege_n if_o either_o stomach_n or_o bowel_n be_v overload_v with_o melancholy_a it_o evacuate_v always_o that_o humour_n by_o siege_n if_o the_o blood_n and_o the_o solid_a part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v oppress_v with_o any_o of_o those_o humour_n it_o dissolve_v they_o and_o open_v their_o passage_n and_o purge_v they_o by_o sweat_n and_o insensible_a expiration_n if_o the_o emulgent_a vein_n or_o reins_n of_o the_o back_n be_v burden_v with_o choler_n phlegm_n or_o melancholy_a or_o have_v any_o obstruction_n it_o open_v the_o passage_n dissolve_v the_o humour_n and_o bring_v they_o out_o by_o urine_n for_o it_o purge_v all_o the_o vicious_a and_o offensive_a humour_n alike_o not_o have_v any_o humour_n destinate_a to_o it_o but_o as_o the_o body_n be_v most_o overcharge_v on_o that_o it_o work_v first_o in_o the_o answer_v this_o objection_n a_o great_a may_v arise_v among_o the_o learned_a and_o that_o be_v this_o whereas_o i_o say_v that_o this_o powder_n of_o gold_n do_v purge_v by_o sweat_n and_o urine_n how_o can_v that_o agree_v with_o natural_a philosophy_n and_o experience_n that_o a_o cold_a quality_n which_o i_o affirm_v before_o this_o powder_n have_v can_v open_v dissolve_v sweat_n and_o expel_v by_o urine_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o the_o outward_a superficial_a quality_n of_o this_o powder_n of_o gold_n be_v cold_a from_o the_o mercurialitie_n yet_o inward_o there_o be_v a_o subtle_a acrious_a heat_n from_o the_o aureitie_n which_o be_v

they_o and_o cause_v the_o emmorrhoid_v mirabolanes_n be_v prepare_v with_o oil_n of_o sweet_a almond_n and_o administer_v with_o ivice_n of_o fumitary_a wormwood_n agarick_n and_o spikenard_n and_o

every_o one_o have_v his_o particular_a correcter_n direct_a and_o helper_n to_o work_v due_o &_o qualify_v their_o vice_n this_o know_v and_o well_o consider_v it_o rest_v to_o show_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o vice_n in_o this_o catholicon_fw-la aureum_fw-la or_o no_o &_o herein_o be_v the_o difference_n see_v between_o this_o and_o all_o other_o purge_v that_o whereas_o all_o of_o they_o need_v corrector_n to_o break_v their_o malice_n aromatickes_n to_o take_v away_o their_o loathsomeness_n and_o help_v their_o work_n admixture_n of_o contrary_n to_o stay_v their_o violent_a and_o immoderate_a operation_n and_o cordial_n to_o comfort_n &_o defend_v the_o principal_a part_n so_o that_o if_o the_o ill_a effect_n they_o work_v be_v weigh_v in_o a_o equal_a balance_n with_o their_o good_a the_o good_a will_v scarce_o counterpoise_v it_o this_o powder_n only_o have_v this_o grace_n that_o it_o never_o offend_v any_o of_o the_o principal_a part_n never_o draw_v blood_n out_o of_o the_o vein_n never_o work_v too_o violent_o evacuate_v more_o they_o be_v burdensome_a to_o nature_n never_o inflame_v the_o blood_n or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n never_o make_v exulceration_n of_o the_o stomach_n &_o bowel_n never_o violent_o draw_v humour_n but_o after_o a_o direct_a course_n help_v nature_n to_o digest_v they_o or_o expel_v they_o by_o sweat_n urine_n and_o expiration_n never_o need_v any_o corrector_n nor_o have_v any_o such_o inconvenience_n therefore_o by_o consequent_a never_o raise_v any_o such_o symptom_n which_o usual_o follow_v the_o take_n of_o the_o other_o purge_v but_o contrariwise_o i_o affirm_v that_o it_o strengthen_v the_o heart_n the_o liver_n the_o brain_n and_o the_o whole_a body_n purify_v the_o blood_n reviu_v the_o spirit_n
