Bertholdus, Andreas.; Googe, Barnabe, 1540-1594.	1587 (1587)	STC 1970; ESTC S110682	13,625	48

most false And thus not onely to God and his gifts but to their owne Countrey of Germanie these Doctors and Philosophers of Germanie are found to be most iniurious who despise the rare blessings of God that are proper to them and their Countrey Onely cōmending and desiring such things as are gotten abroad suppressing with a vile kinde of minde such thinges as they haue at home nay which is a fowler thing they neyther haue desire to benefite their Countrie nor their brethren neyther will they suffer others that would doe it but studie continually how they may with all sortes of raylings and slanders stoppe and deface the good and laudable attemptes of such as they knowe to bee studiously and honestly giuen Where it had béene a great deale more méete for them first 〈◊〉 haue giuen most heartie thankes to God that in the latter dayes hath so aboundantly blessed our Countrie of Germanie in bringing to light such infinite treasures as hauing long lyen hidde are now through his mercie found out to the end that by continuall beholding of them wee may be called from the dungeon of darkenesse to light and to the amendment of our liues And euen of the verie bountie and goodnesse of their disposition thou mayst easily good reader perceiue them whom God will haue partakers of his hidden treasures when as they doe not with iniustice kéepe to themselues the secret knowledge which they haue receiued from God but séeke by all the meanes they may to make them common to all men especially to those that be good and godly and for the others his good will is they should continually apply their studies to their priuate contentation and neuer atteyne to the knowledge of the truth And these good fellowes vse alwayes to kéepe in their owne custodie such thinges as they them selues haue no skill of neyther will they suffer such as are of vnderstanding to haue the vse of them But let vs leaue this kinde of people as withered and rotten stockes neyther profitable to themselues nor others And according to that which God hath giuen vs let vs bee fruitfull alwayes giuing praise and thankes to God our mercifull father not séeking our owne honor or priuate commoditie who shal also make vs profitable fitte for his kingdome with which he hath promised to giue to vs whatsoeuer we shall haue néede of so that we séeke for that kingdome before all other thinges To this onely God who is hath béene from euerlasting bee euerlasting honour and glory THe testimonials of the Princes Magistrats who haue seene before them the experience and miraculus force of the Silesian Terra Sigillata And there vpon for the acknowledging of such diuine benefites and extolling the glory of God haue vnder their great seales confirmed the truth in such order as followeth FIrst an exemplification that is an abstract out of the Germaine originall faithfully translated into Latine that the most noble Prince William Landgraue of Hesse in Cassell Court in Catzenelnbog Ditz Ziegenheim and Nidda of his great clemencie did graunt to Andreas Bertoldus of Oschatz by his Doctors in Phisicke and Chauncellour BEe it knowen vnto all persons that an honest man called Bertold of Oschatz came into the presence of the most noble Prince and Lord the Lord William Landgraue of Hesse Court of Catzenelnbogen Ditz Ziegenheim and Nidda c. our gracious Lord and Prince and in humble maner declared vnto him that hee had found in an olde mine of Golde within the dominion of Schueidnitz a new kinde of earth which is a present helpe and a most notable remedie against all maner of poysons and sundrie diseases which earth hauing a stampe vpon it he offered to sell vnto his Excellencie who not trusting the man vpon his bare worde committed the matter to his Phisitions Maurice Thaurern and Laurence Hyper Commaunding them to make a perfect tryall of the saide earth wherevpon the saide Doctors in Phisicke to satisfie their Prince did make a double proofe of this earth in this manner They tooke foure sundrie sortes of the deadliest poysons that might be which were Mercurie Sublimate Aconitum Nereum and Apocinum and of some one of these they gaue halfe a dramme a peece to eight dogges to foure of them they gaue the earth after the poyson and to the other foure the poyson alone Of these foure that tooke it alone the first that tooke Apocynum dyed within halfe an houre the second that had taken Nereum died within foure houres the third that swallowed Mercurie died within nine houres after And although they all did cast vp some part of the poyson yet after most cruell tormentes with crampes and trembling they died the fourth dogge that eat Aconitum susteyned thirtéene great panges of the crampe so as euery man thought hee woulde haue died with his fellowes yet liued he the first day and hauing halfe the dose of this medicine giuen him he throughly recouered The other foure dogges to whom the poysons before named with the like quantitie of this Terra Sigillata was giuen for three houres after the receiuing of it were very sicke and feeble especially one of them to whom the double quantitie of Aconitum by negligence was giuen vomited thrise the next day they were all well and did eate their meate greedily so as there appeared scarse any token of poyson When thus his Highnesse had séene the experience of this earth to bee so present a remedie against such deadly poysons that the saide Andrew Bertold had humbly craued his letters of credite both in the fauour of the man and aduancement of the truth that others might haue knowledge he denied not to graunt them But commaunded that his letters testimoniall sealed with his Highnesse his priuie seale and subscribed with the handes of the foresaid Doctors in whose presence this tryall was made should be giuen vnto him Which we the abouenamed Doctors vpon our allegiance to his Highnesse and for the furtherance of the truth because we found it as hath béene declared to be true vnfeyned most willingly haue done Giuen the xxviij of July the yeare of our Lord 1580. Mauritius Thaurer D. Laurencius Hyperius M.D. Iohan Krug IN the yeare of our Lord 1580. the day of Saint Iames In the presence of the most noble and worthie Prince William Landgraue of Hesse there was made of the Terra Sigillata brought vnto him by Andreas Bertholde of Oschatz this proffe vpon certain dogs A redde Dog with a white ring about his necke had giuen him betwéene eight and nine in the morniug a scruple of Mercurie sublimed and a scruple of the Terra Sigillata therewith within halfe an houre after the seconde houre he vomited extremely the thirde houre agayne hee cast vp certaine colloricke matter so did hée the fourth houre and without anie great harme he escaped A yellowe Cur with a whit brest had giuē vnto him a scruple of Mercurie sublimed and nothing after it within halfe
