that_o all_o salt_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o close_a spirit_n as_o also_o all_o spirit_n but_o a_o open_v salt_n for_o all_o the_o seminal_a power_n and_o all_o the_o chief_a virtue_n of_o animal_n and_o of_o their_o part_n proceed_v from_o light_a as_o from_o the_o father_n from_o the_o air_n as_o from_o the_o medium_fw-la and_o from_o the_o salt_n as_o from_o the_o son_n and_o all_o three_o together_o concur_v to_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o product_n of_o nature_n we_o have_v advance_v all_o this_o only_a to_o make_v it_o appear_v the_o better_a that_o it_o be_v needless_a if_o not_o without_o reason_n that_o all_o the_o ancient_a dogmatist_n and_o sir_n walter_n raleigh_n after_o they_o have_v introduce_v the_o burn_v hartshorn_n in_o almost_o all_o cordial_n now_o what_o we_o have_v new_o say_v make_v appear_v that_o the_o cordial_a virtue_n be_v no_o long_o there_o and_o therefore_o can_v be_v employ_v in_o they_o but_o as_o a_o astringent_a earth_n and_o a_o spongeous_a body_n rarefy_a and_o dry_a the_o better_a to_o retain_v and_o preserve_v the_o volatile_a spirituous_a sulphureous_a and_o saline_a matter_n which_o be_v extract_v out_o of_o other_o ingredient_n it_o may_v be_v also_o object_v that_o the_o calcine_v hartshorn_n be_v not_o incapable_a of_o virtue_n since_o it_o can_v alter_v the_o ill_a fermentation_n of_o the_o stomach_n cure_v the_o diarrhoea_n and_o also_o stay_v the_o bloudy-flux_n but_o she_o produce_v these_o effect_n only_o by_o reason_n that_o she_o kill_v and_o mortify_v the_o sharpness_n and_o acidity_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o indigestion_n and_o base_a fermentation_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o she_o quell_v the_o acidity_n of_o saline_n and_o vitriolic_a spirit_n and_o that_o of_o vinegar_n when_o they_o have_v be_v digest_v together_o and_o draw_v off_o again_o by_o distillation_n as_o insipid_a as_o water_n by_o reason_n that_o this_o rarefy_a dry_a and_o spongeous_a body_n be_v deprive_v of_o all_o saltness_n and_o desire_v of_o refurnishing_a itself_o with_o that_o salt_n which_o do_v make_v the_o acidity_n in_o those_o liquor_n it_o be_v therefore_o for_o this_o only_a reason_n that_o it_o have_v be_v put_v in_o the_o composition_n of_o this_o cordial_a but_o since_o that_o the_o volatile_a salt_n of_o hartshorn_n be_v alexitery_n and_o cordial_a and_o that_o it_o most_o powerful_o contribute_v to_o the_o rare_a virtue_n of_o this_o cordial_n we_o have_v also_o add_v to_o it_o some_o hartshorn_n philosophical_o calcine_v in_o the_o vapour_n of_o the_o digestion_n extraction_n distillation_n and_o circulation_n of_o spirit_n of_o wine_n which_o serve_v for_o menstruum_fw-la to_o extract_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o vegetable_n which_o compose_v it_o in_o which_o place_n this_o horn_n soften_v itself_o by_o little_a and_o little_a swell_v and_o dilate_v by_o the_o moist_a and_o spirituous_a subtlety_n which_o penetrate_v it_o and_o render_v it_o friable_a and_o capable_a of_o be_v put_v in_o powder_n with_o ease_n with_o the_o preservation_n of_o its_o cordial_a virtue_n but_o whereas_o there_o be_v some_o that_o think_v that_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o volatile_a salt_n be_v go_v out_o of_o it_o and_o have_v communicate_v itself_o to_o the_o spirit_n of_o wine_n which_o be_v very_o likely_a it_o have_v be_v think_v necessary_a to_o add_v to_o it_o the_o powder_n of_o hartshorn_n rasp_v without_o any_o other_o preparation_n that_o the_o volatile_a salt_n which_o be_v the_o true_a counterpoison_v and_o the_o true_a cordial_n shall_v not_o be_v want_v not_o but_o that_o one_o may_v add_v to_o it_o the_o volatile_a salt_n of_o hartshorn_n draw_v by_o distillation_n but_o it_o be_v not_o put_v in_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o empyreumatick_a and_o most_o ungrateful_a taste_n the_o author_n of_o our_o great_a cordial_n and_o those_o that_o after_o he_o have_v work_v in_o the_o composition_n of_o this_o remedy_n have_v almost_o always_o add_v the_o prepare_a pearl_n to_o this_o cordial_n and_o also_o sometime_o they_o have_v open_v and_o dissolve_v the_o body_n of_o the_o pearl_n by_o mean_n of_o fix_a acide_n as_o distil_a vinegar_n juice_n of_o lemon_n spirit_n of_o sulphur_n and_o that_o of_o vitriol_n and_o do_v pretend_v to_o have_v reduce_v by_o these_o mean_v the_o pearl_n into_o a_o salt_n or_o into_o a_o dissoluble_a magistery_n which_o be_v more_o capable_a of_o make_v their_o virtue_n appear_v but_o all_o those_o liquor_n that_o be_v endow_v with_o a_o fix_a acidity_n do_v intimate_o join_v themselves_o unto_o the_o body_n of_o the_o dissolve_a pearl_n and_o their_o salt_n remain_v which_o augment_v the_o weight_n of_o the_o dissolve_a body_n by_o a_o four_o part_n and_o better_a which_o thing_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o true_a cordial_a magistery_n therefore_o we_o have_v think_v fit_a to_o proceed_v in_o another_o manner_n which_o be_v to_o dissolve_v the_o pearl_n with_o a_o menstruum_fw-la which_o may_v be_v draw_v off_o again_o with_o the_o same_o taste_n and_o the_o same_o dissolve_v virtue_n that_o it_o have_v before_o and_o whereas_o this_o spirit_n leave_v behind_o it_o its_o odour_n and_o taste_n in_o the_o magistery_n of_o pearl_n it_o must_v be_v dissolve_v again_o in_o equal_a part_n of_o cinnamon_n and_o rose-water_n which_o must_v be_v draw_v off_o again_o in_o mary_n bath_n and_o thus_o reiterate_v the_o same_o with_o new_a water_n until_o the_o magistery_n have_v lose_v the_o smell_n and_o taste_v of_o the_o volatile_a spirit_n of_o venus_n which_o be_v that_o admirable_a menstruum_fw-la only_o capable_a of_o furnish_v to_o physic_n dissoluble_a pleasant_a and_o subtle_a magistery_n capable_a of_o penetrate_v unto_o the_o very_a last_o digestion_n and_o carry_v along_o with_o they_o the_o virtue_n of_o those_o cordial_n to_o which_o they_o be_v associate_v and_o it_o be_v in_o this_o manner_n that_o we_o have_v prepare_v the_o pearl_n for_o the_o composition_n of_o this_o great_a cordial_n we_o have_v no_o other_o observation_n touch_v the_o viper_n but_o only_o that_o they_o must_v be_v strip_v of_o their_o skin_n and_o put_v to_o dry_v with_o the_o heart_n and_o liver_n in_o a_o glass_n bottom_n in_o mary_n bath_n until_o they_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v powder_v we_o say_v they_o must_v be_v thus_o use_v because_o that_o this_o kind_n of_o dry_v take_v little_a or_o nothing_o of_o their_o volatile_a salt_n from_o they_o and_o that_o in_o case_n there_o be_v any_o

dry_v in_o a_o oven_n there_o scarce_o remain_v any_o virtue_n in_o the_o flesh_n which_o remain_v tough_a like_o hemp_n and_o almost_o insipid_a whereas_o that_o which_o have_v be_v dry_v in_o mary_n

and_o there_o be_v some_o of_o it_o add_v also_o to_o the_o powder_n to_o give_v a_o body_n and_o augment_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o remedy_n as_o we_o have_v already_o mention_v in_o the_o discourse_n concern_v hartshorn_n the_o musk_n now_o remain_v which_o ought_v to_o be_v put_v in_o powder_n with_o some_o white_a sugar-candy_n in_o a_o marble_n mortar_n the_o better_a to_o disunite_v its_o part_n and_o afterward_o open_v it_o by_o digestion_n and_o circulation_n in_o a_o vaporous_a bath_n with_o spirit_n of_o wine_n in_o a_o pelican_n then_o the_o spirit_n must_v be_v draw_v off_o again_o with_o a_o most_o gentle_a heat_n of_o the_o same_o bath_n unto_o the_o consistency_n of_o a_o thick_a syrup_n or_o half_a extract_n which_o after_o must_v be_v mix_v with_o the_o other_o thing_n as_o concern_v ambergriece_a it_o must_v also_o be_v powder_v in_o a_o stone-mortar_n with_o some_o white_a sugar-candy_n and_o that_o so_o long_o till_o there_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o perfect_a union_n of_o those_o two_o substance_n which_o be_v not_o without_o great_a trouble_n ally_v together_o without_o a_o good_a unite_n medium_fw-la by_o reason_n that_o sugar_n be_v a_o vegetable_a salt_n which_o can_v be_v dissolve_v and_o inseparable_o join_v with_o water_n which_o thing_n can_v be_v do_v with_o ambergriece_a because_o it_o be_v a_o fat_a and_o melt_a bitumen_n which_o have_v more_o connexion_n and_o analogy_n with_o oil_n now_o this_o medium_fw-la can_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o subtle_a and_o fiery_a oil_n of_o rectify_a wine_n and_o thrice_o pass_v over_o most_o pure_a salt_n of_o tartar_n in_o mary_n bath_n therefore_o this_o mixture_n of_o sugar_n and_o ambergriece_a must_v be_v put_v in_o a_o glass_n bottle_n and_o pour_v over_o it_o of_o this_o noble_a menstruum_fw-la
