A44608	Aurifontina chymica, or, A collection of fourteen small treatises concerning the first matter of philosophers for the discovery of their (hitherto so much concealed) mercury which many have studiously endeavoured to hide, but these to make manifest for the benefit of mankind in general.	Houpreght, John Frederick.; Flamel, Nicolas, d. 1418.; Ripley, George, d. 1490?	1680 (1680)	Wing H2941; ESTC R31127	85,086	301

of_o knowledge_n and_o this_o science_n have_v so_o often_o fail_v of_o obtain_v the_o end_n of_o their_o desire_n in_o these_o mystery_n of_o nature_n and_o not_o only_o fail_v as_o to_o the_o

to_o help_v they_o by_o this_o small_a script_n as_o much_o as_o i_o may_v and_o save_v they_o the_o trouble_v of_o that_o search_n and_o by_o tell_v they_o in_o plain_a term_n and_o word_n the_o
