First the Oyle restoreth all those members colde by any accident if the harmed members be annoynted with it 2. It healeth a wounde if the proper herbe agréeable be a little boyled in it 3. This helpeth all the clefts and chops happening on the handes and féete in the winter tyme. 4. The oyle helpeth sinewes weake through the Goute or some other cause and the trembling or shaking of the head and handes 5. The Goute and ache of the ioyntes procéeding of a colde cause the necke payning so stiffe that it cannot turne hither thither is helpen with this oyle 6. It breaketh into small péeces the stone of the bladder kidneys by annoynting on the places drinking often of the oyle with white wine 7. It cureth also the excoriation of the bladder so well within as without which is knowne by the byting or fretting of the yard by annointing on the proper place 8. This helpeth the staying back of the vryne and hardnesse in the making of water 9. The oyle helpeth the passions of the eares procéeding of a cold cause as the deafenesse the noyse or hissing the fluxe of euill humors to the eares by applying a fine lynnen cloth wet in it wythin the eare 10. This auayleth against the wormes eyther bred within or crept in by hap 11. This helpeth the drawing of the mouth by a crampe and the drawing or tormenting of the belly the griefes of the matrice in euery age to the helpe of the Sciaticke payne or ache of the hip paine of the kidneys ridge bone may be added those herbes flowers rootes of a hot nature appropriated to them as the Sage the Penyroyall the Wormewood the running Time Organy Betony Hisop Dittany 12.

The oyle helpeth the hardnesse of the milt through ouer much coldnes in that it spéedily moystneth gently heateth it 14. This oyle helpeth such molested with the falling sicknesse is the nosthrill of the pacient be annoynted wyth it 15. This helpeth the â—â—slation or stopping of the brayne and nose through a cold cauâ—e howsoeuer it shall happen whether the eyes run or water or the nosthrils be ful of flegme if the proper places be annoynted with it or that it be taken by the mouth 16. It helpeth all maner of coldnesse of the head and brayne for annoynted with the oyle it doth heate marueylously coÌ„forteth 17. This also annointed on the hinder part of the heade

The leâ—â—ned Cardanus defineth Dystillation to be a chaunging of bodyes into a thyâ—ner substauncâ— the qualitie yet remayning and the commodities of Distillation to be so great many that scarcely any thing can be foundâ— comparable to it in that it seperateth the vnlyke parts and deliuereth the worthyer from corruption and those matters which are vnperfite this by attenuating maketh perfite also those which are deuided doth this ioyne into one substance both in qualities and properties although the bodies be myxed Besides this Arte hath inuented many profitable excellent things for mans lâ—fe yea the same in Phiâ—â—cke hath founde out rare marueilous secrets and of those greatly to be estéemed if any prepare them orderly and according to Arte. This mannâ—r of dooing doe some Chymistes terme by another â—ame to sublyme which signifyeth no other matter than to seperate the partes more lyght and thynne from those heauyer and thicker and the working of this requireth so to doe that the bodyes or matters whose substaunce is impure and grosse be 〈…〉 pure fayre and cleare or the earthly partes euilly 〈◊〉 and conioyned or otherwyse ouermuch confused and shedde through all the substance of the Bodies be drawne gathered and better fixed togither in such maner that those seperated by heate eche may
abyde a part at the bottome of the Lymbecke Howe often the vertues of certaine substantiall partes are lost or chaunged in the Distillations and why that Distillation came but of later tyme into vse this borowed of the learned Ioannes Langius The seconde Chapter NO Person néedeth to doubt that all Bodies which growe and take increasement in the earth are compounded of diuers and in a maner infinite small parts which the Gréekes properly name Atomes of the Elements and that in those rest differing and contrarie vertues neuerthelesse vnder one maner of forme of all the Bodies compounded as the lyke appeareth and is confirmed in that roote of Rubarbe so much regarded and estéemed in all places which doth both loose the Bellie and bynde the same yet this deliuereth and openeth the obstructions and stoppinges of the Liuer The same also is knowne to be in the iuice of Roses which purgeth the bellye of Choler where contrarywise the distilled water and the drye powder of the leaues doe bynde and harden the Belly the lyke to this is found in the bitternesse of the nayles or white endes of the leaues which boyled and applyed vp in Glyster forme after the mynde of the learned Mathiolus doth mightily stay the fluxe of the Belly and by giuing it to drinke this healeth the perillous vlcers of the Lunges The yelowe séedes within the Rose and the heares hanging to them boyled in Wyne and drunke doth staye as he affirmeth the styllings downe to the Gummes and marueylously helpeth the running of the Whites in women He also reporteth that the whole heads of the Rose sodden in Wyne and drunke helpeth the fluxe of the Bellie and stayeth the spitting or casting vp of bloude the séedes within the peares of the Rose are knowen of experience to be astringent for which cause the yelowe and all the whole Peares sodden in wyne doth greatly profite the fluxe of the Bellie and such abundance of the Whytes in women yea marueylously stayeth the tedious Gonorrhea these hitherto Mathiolus And is it not euidentlye séene and knowne that the outwarde part of the Nettle procureth ytching and burning in that part of the bodie as the same toucheth where contrarywise the iuice drawen out of the inner substance applyed on the arteries of the armes doth refresh and coole the burning of the Feuer or feuerous burning of the heart Besides dryed and brought into powder and giuen to a maryed man to eate causeth him after to loue dearely his wyfe and children and the same vsed fortifieth the veneriall acte and purgeth the Matrix in women by the dayly eating in meate yea wasshyng the Bodie with the decoction of it mitigateth all paynes caused of colde and healeth scabbes And doe we not daylye vnderstande sée that out of one â—â—per Myne of the veyne vnder the grounde purchased there 〈◊〉 â—olten and separated in the Furnace diuers kyndes of Mettals that is of Leade of Siluer Copper Golde of which always the greater part is conuerted into Fumes When therefore after in the Distillation the grosser and excrementuous partes abyde in the bottome of the Lymbecke then doe the Aereall vanysh into spirits and the moysture thickened through the cooling of the couer or heade of the Lymbecke fall from the Gutter of the heade and runne downe drop by droppe into a Receyuer standing vnder It is not to be marueyled at if distilled waters doe not yéelde their proper sauour taste and all other vertues or but little that they ought of those matters out of which they are distilled For which cause the learned Phisition Mesue reporteth that the water drawne by distillation out of Roses doth greatly comfort and strengthen yet doth the same nor lyke loose and purge the bodie as the iuice gotten out of the freshe Roses or the infusion of them done after Arte by reason that their subtill heate vanisheth with the fire To these adde that the hydde or secrete propertie which procéedeth of the forme that the Phisitions terme particular as in the Lode stone Colocynthis Scamonie and others lyke equally shedde throughout the whole substaunce of his subiect insomuch that when the forces and vertues be lost of the other partes of the subiect it cannot then retayne his proper strength but that hys action and working perysheth as by a lyke the water distilled by a Lymbeck of the Colocynthis or Rubarbe cannot then loose or purge the Belly where the lycour at all times or either of them infused for certayne houres and ministred will easily perfourme the lyke working By the same maner all herbes of a hote and drie qualitie doe yéelde or giue forth in their Distillation the best waters of propertie kéeping neuerthelesse their naturall heate and drynesse but the herbes colde and moyste doe not reteyne so well their coldenesse and moysture by reason they attayne or purchase a certayne straunge heate of the fire of the Lymbecke which abateth and taketh awaye from the waters their proper nature and vertue so that the same water which is distilled doth not any thing reteyne or but little of the nature and vertue of that simple out of which it is distilled Whereof it commeth to passe that although the waters of Endyue Lettuce or Nightshade are accustomed or woont to coole yet doe these alwayes performe the same but a little where otherwyse if these kept the proper qualities of the Herbes from which they are distilled woulde then greatly coole to the ende that the Herbes the same which are of temperature 〈◊〉 maye kéepe their proper qualities they ought rather to be â—â—yled with a soft fire and their decoctions ministred when â—â—ede requyreth If at anye time the distilled waters are more agréeable and pleasanter in taste than the decoctions of the Herbes it behooueth to vnderstande that these loose lesser of their moysture and coldnesse in that they néede but a temperate fire if they be distilled in the Furnace named MARI BALNEVM Balneum Mariae whose forme is here described to the eye that commonly is made long whereby the same may contayne many vessels and hath sundrie doores that the water may heate togither alyke buylt also of small heygth to the ende the water may be made hote with a smal fire than if they were distilled in a driâ— Furnace as in Sande or Ashes of which hereafter shall further be vttered whereas we mynde to intreate of the correction of Herbes By the same discourse eche man may easily conceiue and iudge that all formes cannot wholy resist and doe their workings a long tyme in mixt bodies if the qualities abyde not perfite and hole For which cause it is no marueyle if the waters of Plants and Iuices especiallye those which are distilled by a drie heate of fire doe disagrée and seuer from the vertues of their Simples which for troth more troubled and mooued rather the skilfull to be abashed than the ignoraunt Phisitions and caused that a long tyme after it was or they anye thing to purpose

forsing then the Ashes which are in the vessell to ascende vnto the necke of the Glasse and increase your heate of fyre stronger and stronger vntyll the headde be redde and that the redde fume ascending shall ceasse which shall well or euidentlye appeare in the Glasse the same thus come seale dilygentlye with waxe and kéepe the abouesayde water The Furnace through colde and the bodye opened you shall fynde in the bottome of it a redde masse or lumpe which kéepe The sayde water is stronger then the water of the worlde and hath maruaylous workinges in it For this water dyssolueth corrodeth the fleshe and reduceth or chaungeth all thinges of the worlde into a powder and water as the stones and mettalles If this bée heated it then gyueth vp a verye redde and myghtie fume This water if it toucheth by it selfe eyther the fleshe or a garment it dyeth or coloureth the same yellowe to Saffron which spotte wyll neuer bée gotten out for the colour or stayne on the fleshe contynueth many dayes and if you washe the stayne with Lye it becommeth verye redde of colour Further if you shall put a lyttle piece of good Luna that is of syluer into this water it dyeth then the same of a blacke colour which after cannot be gotten out or clensed away And if you shal put a lytle of Mercurie which is quicksyluer into it â–ª that it bée molten it is then caused mightyer then the fyre For if it then toucheth the fleshe it doth cauterizate or burne euen lykâ— to an yron fyre hote and is not fealt and is ryght notable for canterises or to make cauterizations it also mortifyeth all Fistulaes Cankers Carbuneles wicked and venemous humours If yron also bée put into the sayde water it forthwith heateth boyleth without fyre â–ª and if you put into it yron it causeth a redde water by the intermedling dissoluing of the yron And if you shall drawe or distyll the water by a bodye of glasse fensed the yron then wyll remayne in the bottome of the vessel and wyll be a verye redde powder which properlie is named Marses Saffron If also in the above sayd water you shall put Venus that is to say Copper it lyke boyleth and of the same is made a greene water And if you wyll draw that water forth by a Lymbecke then wyll a most blacke powder of Venus remaine in the bottome of the vessell which properlye is named Venus Lyme Note that if you shall put Saturne that is Leade in the sayde water it causeth the water cleare if you shall draw that water forth by Limbeck there wyl remaine a whyte Salt in the bottome that bytter Also if you shall put Iupiter that is tynne into it it wyll then cause of it a paste lyke to butter and if you shall drye the same as aboue taught the powder then wyll be whyte in the bottome And if you shall put Mercurie that is quicksyluer into it it maketh then a cleare water of the same and if you shall let the water of Mercurie to settle it wyll then fall to the bottome lyke to yse and if you wyl drye the same then remayneth a whyte salt in the bottome and strong as the styffest waxe And if you wyll recouer your Syluer when it is in the water put then in the same water crude Mercurie and the good Syluer wyll incontinent enter within the Mercurie after emptye the water and take the myxion which put into a Goates skynne wryng the substaunce verye harde and the Mercurie or quicksyluer wyll then issue forth the substaunce which shal remayne in the skinne put into a Crucible to be molten and you shall then finde the good syluer Also if you shall put Golde in the same water it causeth the water yelowe of it and if you shall drye the same then is a golden salt caused bytter as the earth that auayleth in the drying of Fistulaes If also you shall dyssolue one part of good Luna or syluer in the sayde water and so muche of

Chapter IF so be you wyll dystill a simple Aqua vitae or burning wyne at one dystillation that in propertie and vertue it may be as if the same were twenty times dystilled ouer then couer a Spunge ouer the mouth of the Cucurbite and the Lymbecke close with the seale or lute of Hermes and a receauer set to the nose of the Lymbecke and luted in the ioynte dystill according to Arte in Balneo Mariae For on such wise is caused that the spyrit of the wine ascendeth vnto the highest and from thence by the Nose falleth into the Receauer but all the waterynesse remayneth by the waye in the Spunge And a certaine Alchymister vsed this maner for a most great and déepe secrete Wée compared or assayed it sayth D. Gesnerus with the Aqua vitae once dystilled ouer without a Spunge and we found ours of greater effecte and vertue and wée againe assayed it with an other water dystilled ten tymes ouer without a Spunge and oures dyd more pearce then that A certaine dystiller with vs sayeth the Aucthour affyrmeth that the Aqua vitae onely once dystilled to be verie vnholsome to them which drinke it and to haue a great force of putrifying as the same experience proueth If the burning water be set on fire sayth he quenched againe after a whiles that which remayneth very much sauoureth or stincketh But the water which shal be twise or thrise distylled ouer neyther stincketh nor putrifieth Of the distyllation of Quintessence out of wyne by Balneum Mariae Take of white wyne the best fowre measures or fiue according to the greatnesse of the Glasse bodye so that a thyrd part of the Cucurbyte be emptie on which set a head of Glasse luted in the ioynte with the whytes of Egges meale and water myxed togyther and spread on a Lynnen clothe before the laying on which on this wyse prepared set into Balneum Mariae and distyll after with a verie softe fire both daye and nyght For out of fiue measures you shal purchase but a halfe measure pure which after the rectifying in a Pellicane for certaine dayes kéepe to your vse A water of Lyfe out of wyne distylled thrise ouer Take twenty pyntes of good and grosse wyne and drawe out of the whole fowre pintes in suche a vessell as you knowe after out of those foure drawe two pyntes and out of those two agayne drawe onelye one pynte This water auayleth against any rednesse and spotte of the eyes and is profitable vnto all woundes and auaileth also against the Rewme and Fistula vnto many other grieffes besides it is right profitable That if you myxe with this the gaule of a Partriche it taketh awaye the heate and myste of the eyes also dropped in the eyes stayeth and taketh away the teares if it shall be mixed with the iuyce of the wilde Tyme A burning water take a pottell of the auncientest Red wyne and poured into a great pytchard or Tankard hauing a large bottome and narrowe mouth to which adde thrée ounces of eyther Brunstone or eyther Oâ—pyment of Armoniacke of Tartare and of Salte nytre and one pynte of very olde Oyle olyue or common Oyle which boyle togyther vnto the consumption of two partes and let the whole be strayned to which then let hote or burning water be added and drawne after by an Ippocrasse bagge or strainer that the fyrst water may be gotten If a Candle be annoynted with this water or the wyke of any other light and put vnder the water wyll not goe out If this water also be sprinckled on the heyre of the head on a clothe or on a cappe that it may burne this after it shall be consumed the clothe wyll remaine vnharmed or any other on which it is sprinckled This Rogerius in his fourth Tract Chap. 7. where you shall fullyer learne this maner of distillation by the former Chapter A burning water you maye make on this wyse take thicke mightie and olde red wine to which adde a quarter of the same of vnsleaked Lyme of Brymstone most finelie brought to pouder of the Tartare of good wine lyke brought to pouder and of baye Salt which poure togyther into a Cucurbite well luted after the head set on and luted in the ioynt distyll according to Arte and the burning water gathered kéepe in a Glasse close stopped this Albertus Magnus A spyced water which they name the water of Lyfe or an Hyppocras or Baulme let the hearbes the swéete smellyng rootes and Spyces be stieped in sixe tymes so much of good wine for thyrtie dayes the wyne after strained and the spices broken adde againe to the wyne and distyll the whole according to Arte.
