before_o i_o do_v invent_v this_o instrument_n the_o spirit_n be_v well_o settle_v in_o the_o receiver_n cast_v in_o more_o of_o your_o mixture_n this_o continue_v so_o long_o till_o all_o your_o

to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o salt_n in_o salt_n ammoniac_a viz._n a_o common_a acide_fw-la salt_n and_o a_o volatile_a salt_n of_o urine_n which_o without_o

together_o yield_v a_o sublimate_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o essence_n with_o common_a salt_n ammoniac_a which_o be_v not_o sublime_v salt_n ammoniac_a be_v pure_a than_o the_o common_a and_o no_o spirit_n will_v come_v over_o from_o it_o if_o it_o shall_v be_v mingle_v with_o bowl_n brick_n dust_n sand_n or_o any_o other_o strengthless_a earth_n and_o so_o distil_v but_o the_o whole_a salt_n as_o it_o be_v of_o itself_o leave_v its_o earthy_a substance_n behind_o will_v sublime_a thus_o dry_a but_o that_o it_o fall_v out_o otherwise_o with_o the_o lapis_fw-la calaminaris_fw-la which_o be_v also_o like_o a_o earth_n so_o that_o a_o separation_n of_o the_o salt_n be_v wrought_v thereby_o and_o a_o volatile_a spirit_n come_v over_o the_o reason_n be_v that_o the_o lapis_fw-la calaminaris_fw-la and_o zinck_n be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n that_o they_o have_v a_o great_a affinity_n with_o all_o acid_a thing_n and_o do_v love_v they_o and_o be_v love_v by_o they_o likewise_o whereof_o some_o mention_n have_v be_v make_v in_o the_o first_o part_n so_o that_o the_o acide_fw-la salt_n stick_v to_o it_o in_o the_o warmth_n and_o unit_v itself_o with_o it_o and_o the_o salt_n

calaminaris_fw-la or_o zinck_n but_o that_o a_o spirit_n be_v distil_v off_o by_o addition_n of_o fix_a salt_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o that_o fix_a salt_n be_v contrary_a unto_o acid_a salt_n and_o if_o they_o get_v the_o upperhand_n do_v kill_v the_o same_o and_o rob_v they_o of_o their_o strength_n whereby_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o they_o be_v free_v from_o their_o
