Ch. Beguin Curriculum Chymicum The manner how to make use of the Antimoniall Cup. TAke a well-glased earthen pot and put this Cup therein and powre within and round about it as much Claret wine or White ●ne Muscadell or Malmesey if it may be gotten for it is best of all or ●se Ale and let it stand so warme as you may well endure your finger 〈◊〉 one houre or more and let it be kept reasonable warme at the same 〈◊〉 neere the same degree of warmnesse by the fire close covered in the ●hole by the space of twelve houres and afterwards a Cupfull or ●ore taken fasting in the morning purgeth the body from whatsoever 〈◊〉 offensive to Nature the operation is gentle and without any violence 〈◊〉 danger as hath beene oftentimes proved let them governe them●●lves as after other Physick By the quantitie and proportion of Wine or Ale a pint for two or for ●ree you may prepare for as many as you please at one time but pre●are no more than you will spend that morning for by standing it alte●eth his qualitie and nature For the manner of the operation it is difficult to fore-know for it ●perateth according as it is most convenient and necessarie for the pre●ent estate and constitution of the body sometimes and in some consti●utions it operateth by Vomit alone in some others by Siedge alone in ●thers by urine and sweat but most commonly it worketh all these waies ●et without violence or danger If you desire it should operate rather by Siedge you must use Ale or Malmesey which is best or else Muscadell for white and Claret wines ●re more apt for vomits of their owne selfe naturall properties Some ●se to drinke posset drinke to hasten and facilitate the operation which you may doe but I rather approve the operation of it alone for then you shall better see and judge what offendeth your body by that which Nature will expell if you finde not your selfe afterwards more hungrie ●ively and cheerfull beleeve me not You are to observe that according to the qualitie of the heat the continuance of the infusion and the quantitie you give you may make it fit for any from the tender infant to the strongest constitution Give to women and children halfe a cupfull or a cupfull according to the age and strength if it worke not effectually to your liking you must make it hotter and drinke more the next time To prevent sicknesse once or twice in the Spring and Autumne or once in a moneth will be sufficient for ordinarie infirmities take it three times leaving a day or two betwixt but for confirmed diseases it should be taken as often as it worketh for when it hath vanquished and expelled the enemies of Nature and prevailed against all the impurities of the body it is at peace with all that is pure and good and then will in work no more thereby you may be well assured that you are perfe●● well and this I do affirme upon mine owne knowledge practice and experience to be true if any man make doubt of the waste diminuti●● of the medicinall vertues of this Cup through use let them bee assured they will never decay for testimony whereof I have made continuall use of one Cup for above three yeeres past and I finde it more effectuall everie time than other and the Right Worshipfull Sir Thomas Middleton Knight hath made more experience hereof and I am certaine will be ready and forward to confirme the same When you have made use of this Cup drie it with a faire cloth and so put it up safe into his bo● for by washing it unheedfully or scouring it you may waste the metall or break the Cup for it is brittle like glasse but if any such mischance do happen let them reserve the metall bring it to me in weight without any commixture and for ten shillings I will give them a new Cup. And if any through ignorance or malice or such others that regard their particular lucre and profit more than the health and generall good of their Christian brethren shall unjustly report that this Antimoniall Cup is either counterfet and of verie little or no vertue at all or otherwise dangerous pernicious and hurtfull as being composed of Mercuries and Poisons and the like as for the vertue and continuance it hath been already sufficiently proved To prevent the calumny of the slanderer though it be an Herculean labour yet to preserve my reputation immaculate as much as in me lyeth I doe confesse unto you really it is made of the Mercurie of Antimony which is the pure spirit soule and life of the Minerall refined separated and prepared from all impurities with much diligence care labour and charges but that it containeth any of that Mercury which is common Quicksilver or Mercury sublimate which is made of Quicksilver and poysonfull Arsenick or else Mercury precipitate which is also made of Quicksilver and the Corrosive Aqua-fortis or Regis I doe sincerely and truly protest in the faithfull word of a Minister and Preacher of the sacred Gospell of the Lord Jesus Christ there is none of these contained in any that I make neither any thing else but what I am perswaded in my conscience and have found by experience upon my selfe my friends my neighbours and mine owne children to bee for the health good and benefit of the body of man and this I confirme to be the sincere truth as I shall answer to the Lord Jesus at the latter day And so I conclude and commend it and you to the blessing of our Great Glorious and Eternall God to whom together with his true and only Sonne and the most holy and blessed 〈…〉 three powerfull Persons but one immortall God bee given and 〈…〉 creatures all honour praise and glorie world with 〈…〉
