from_o a_o supposition_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o vitriol_n in_o this_o water_n by_o its_o juice_n or_o in_o succo_n primitivo_fw-la i_o therefore_o take_v some_o of_o the_o marcasite_n stone_n of_o vitriol_n which_o i_o get_v out_o of_o the_o black_a bog_n near_o the_o sulphur-well_a at_o knarsbrough_n which_o be_v the_o minera_fw-la of_o vitriol_n in_o which_o if_o any_o where_n the_o vitriol_n be_v in_o succo_n upon_o this_o pulverize_a i_o pour_v a_o solution_n of_o sal_fw-la marine_a and_o let_v they_o stand_v together_o in_o a_o matrass_n for_o several_a day_n which_o by_o stand_v in_o

to_o the_o solution_n of_o the_o body_n of_o vitriol_n this_o yellow_a green_a salty_n liquor_n i_o cause_v to_o be_v evaporate_v in_o a_o gentle_a heat_n in_o a_o jar_n glace_n place_v in_o sand_n which_o shoot_v into_o curious_a yellow_a tinged_a crystal_n which_o leave_v in_o the_o bottom_n a_o oaker_n or_o terra_fw-la vitriolica_n after_o the_o manner_n as_o be_v find_v upon_o the_o like_a process_n with_o other_o factitious_a vitriol_n that_o which_o be_v very_o remarkable_a be_v that_o the_o yellowish_a liquor_n wherein_o these_o crystal_n do_v shoot_v will_v not_o with_o gall_n strike_v any_o colour_n but_o remain_v clear_a as_o before_o the_o addition_n thereof_o but_o when_o i_o add_v some_o more_o clear_a water_n and_o thereby_o dilute_v it_o i_o find_v that_o then_o it_o give_v a_o purple_a colour_n the_o very_a like_a to_o which_o i_o observe_v to_o happen_v to_o a_o strong_a solution_n of_o dantz-vitriol_n bring_v to_o a_o oily_a consistence_n immediate_o before_o

tincture_n and_o that_o the_o deep_a by_o how_o much_o to_o a_o certain_a proportion_n the_o more_o water_n i_o add_v just_o as_o some_o menstruum_n may_v be_v graduate_v too_o high_o and_o make_v

antagonist_n that_o i_o know_v by_o a_o menstruum_fw-la not_o rare_a among_o chemist_n with_o the_o addition_n of_o i_o or_o his_o breath_n how_o to_o calcine_v a_o metal_n viâ_fw-la humidâ_fw-la as_o
