much vinegar or aqua vitae and distil it and againe powre on fresh vineger or aqua vitae draw it away againe vnti●l the Quintaessence doth ascend in a red golden colour as we haue shewed in many places how to distil those matters that are fixed by vineger or aqua vit● for when it is distilled by the Limbecke his vertues are angmented a thousand times wil work strange cures keep this as a secret for it is a gret mystery in nature Here beginneth a manuel or handy worke how the Quintaessence may be drawen out of honie NOw wil I open vnto you a great secret in the vegetall worke of honie to wit a maruellous nature for it is drawen out of the most noble pure part of the floures The nature of Bees is such that they draw out the best of euery thing as in the Animall worke is more at large described wherein there is taught how to extract the nature of al beasts and specially in the 84. Chapter Wherefore my sonne know this that al that God hath created good in the vpper part of the world are perfect and vncorruptible as the heauen but whatsoeuer in these lower partes whether it be in beasts fishes and all manner of sensible creatures hearbs or plants it is indued with a double nature that is to say perfect and vnperfect the perfect nature is called the Quintaessence the vnperfect the Pheces or dregges or the vene 〈…〉 ous or combustible oile Therefore you shall seperate the dregges and combustible oyle and then that which remaineth is perfect and is called the Quintaessence which will endure continually euen as the heauen neyther can it bee dissolued with fire or anie other thing For when God had created all things and looked vpon them they were all perfect good there was nothing lacking to any and therefore for loues sake I say vnto thee that God hath put a secret nature or influence in euery creature and that to euery nature of one sort or kind he hath giuen one common influence and to euery one of seuerall kindes their seuerall influence and vertue whether it be on Physicke or other secret workes which partly are found out by natural work manship And yet more things are vnknowen then are apparant to our senses what doe you not thinke that an herb that is appointed for one disease which it will cure doth not containe in it many more vertues then are knowen vnto vs Yes truely many more This also Iadde that if the pheces and combustible oile be taken away from this thing or herb which in all things is the poyson that should be taken away that brings death vnto vs and the elements should be purified and so burned together by Art that they shall passe together by a Limbecke and be ioyned together as it were coupled in marriage that it may roote out al manner of disease from euery thing be it herb or liuing thing or be drawen from his venome as in the 14. chapter of the Prologue of this book is declared and also in the Prologue of the Animall work whereas the manner of drawing the Quintaessence out of all venemous beasts birds wormes and flies is plainely declared that it may help all the griefes of man but that specially is drawen out of the blood of man and there is likewise declared that there is no neede of things without man or beast to help such as are infected For euerie creature containes in himselfe the remedy of his disease which remedy may be drawne without the hurt of man or beast that the disease may bee miraculously cured as is there most excellently taught in the the●ricke and in the practise Therefore I would write this that thou soone mightest vnderstand what maruellous force is in honie which is taken out of all floures and gathered into one masse which truely is indued with sundry vertues For if GOD hath giuen vnto other things the gift of healing what then is there not in honnie which is gathered out of so many floures and euery herb indued with his owne proper vertue Truely if it be brought to his height and excellencie it will worke maruellously Now consider what lieth hidden in this Quintaessence and esteeme it not lightly but keepe it secret as the most excellent thing of al the animal worke the which being obtained you shall neede no other medicines to put away al the accidents of the bodie The second Chapter NOw I will set in hand with the practise Take twelue quartes of the best virgin Hony and put it in a great earthen vessell with a Limbecke well luted and set it in Ealneo lute a recipient to the necke of it and distil that which will distil of it in your Balneo boyling My sonne knowe this that there is no common water in honie but onely Philosophicall and Elementall for the Element of aire doth first passe with the Element of fire in the which the aire is contained and the aire when it riseth resembleth the sauour of aqua vitae distilled and at the first can not be knowen from aqua vitae neither by sight neither sauour distill it vntill there wil no more arise Then leaue the vessell in Balneo fiue daies with a Limbecke and receiuer let it boyle night and day that the matter may be dried then let it coole and take it out and take away the receiuer and Limbecke and that which is in the receiuer powre into the vessell againe vpon the d●ie matter and set it in Balneo and couer the mouth of the vessel with a cleane dish well luted and let your Balneum be only luke warme My sonne vnderstand that it may thus bee done for it is good that the fire be drawen with his proper aire so as a mā would stay so long for it wold be of the greater force The auntient Philosophers wrought in this sort but the daunger is when the vessels shall bee opened lest the water flie away for it is as su●till as wine For euerie time the aire is to be drawn away and againe to be powred on making putrifaction in a warme Balneo but first it must be wel luted and a Limbecke being set on with a receiuer you must reiterate the worke vntill the fire rise like vnto red bloud There is another methode or rule of working found out in these our daies which is in this sort The third Chapter THey are thus drawne out and the matter dried as is aforesaide then take common water twise distilled in Balneo and powre on as much as is sufficient and set it in Balneo couer the mouth of the vessel but let not the Balne●● boile and so let it stand three daies and three nights moouing it day and night with a spattle of wood let it coole be poured out and strained Then take a cleane vessell and poure out that which is cleere and powre vpon the pheces fresh distilled water as you did before set the vessell

in Balneo and doe as you did before let it bee cleared and put aside with the first water and put on again fresh water distilled and set it in Balneo as aforesaid and do this so often vntill the water be no more colored for then haue you the fire seperated from the earth but reserue the earth or Pheces vntill I tell you further what you shall do with it for there is yet a combustible oyle in it The fourth Chapter TAke the vessel wherin is the colored water and set it in Balneo with a Limbecke and receiuer well luted and distill al the water with a boyling Balneo let the matter be well dried and coole then take away the Alimbicke let the vessell remaine in Balneo and powre on the water againe vpon the matter and make a fire and set a dish vpon the mouth of the vessell and let it stande so in Balneo three daies euery day moouing it with a spattell of wood 3. or 4. times then let it coole and be taken out and strained Then take a cleane vessell and softly powre out that which is cleere into it and vpon the pheces straightwaies poure on fresh distilled water stirring it about with a woden ladle and let it stand to cleere one day the Pheces which remaine put vnto the first Pheces Then take a vessell and set it in a boyling Balneo vntil it be drie and reiterate this worke vntill there remaine no Pheces in the bottome of the vessell so shall you haue the pure Element of fire and the Element of the aire also must bee so often distilled vntill there remaine nothing in the bottome and in this sort you shall haue the pure Element Seperate then the water from the fire and let it drie so shall you haue a cleere shining matter like to Camphere keepe the fire well in a glasse and the aire with the water in another glass● well closed vntill you haue your earth prepared The fift Chapter TAke all the earth with the Pheces and drawe out the combustible oile by a discensorie that is with two vessels ioyned and luted together vntill the combustible oile do passe which is profitable for all colde diseases and other passions which were too long to rehearse if you desire not the combustible oile suffer it to flie away Then tak● your earth and calcine it in a furnace of reuerberation gently vntill it be al white as snow then take a great earthen or stone vessel and put your white calcined earth into it and powre out a good quantitie of common water distilled and stirre it with a woodden ladle and set it three dayes in a boyling bath and couer it with a dish and stirre it euerie day ten or twelue times Let it coole and the vessel take out and let it cleere one whole day then take an other cleane vessel and softly poure out that which is cleer and vpon the pheces powre againe fresh distilled water and set it in Bal●●● and doe as you did before Take it out againe and let it cleere one day and night and that which is vppermost cleere powre out to the first water Then put to fresh distilled water the third time vnto the pheces and set it in Balneo and doe as you did before and powre out the cleere the third time vnto the first water then cast away the pheces of the third water for they are of no valew Then take the vessell into which the water was put set it in Balneo with a lembecke and a receiuer and with a boyling Balneo drawe out the water vntill the matter bee made drie Let it coole take away the Limbecke and poure in the water againe vpon the earth or salt and set it one day in boyling Balneo Let it dissolue and cleere and take out that which is cleere And put in a little distilled water vpon the pheces and let it stand two or three houres in a warme bath take it out let it cleere by the space of one houre or two and powre out the vpper part to the first water and cast away the Pheces for there is nothing in them Let the vessel be set again in Balneo with the earth or salt and distill away the water vntill all be drie and do as afore reiterating the worke vntill that no pheces remaine in the bottome then draine away the water from the earth and you shal find a faire earthlike Cristall and so you shall haue pure elements The sixth Chapter TAke a great glasse that will beare the fire and put into it your earth and your fire and powre your aire vppon it and set it to distill in a furnace in potte or with sande or ashes with a Limbecke well luted hauing a hole in the vppermost knottie parte that a funnell may bee put in when there shall bee neede of infusion when as the humiditie that it hath receiued be halfe consumed then fortifie your fire by little and little increasing it vntil you see the water boyle and keepe the fire in that state still vntil it be consumed euen to a pinte Take away the fire let it coole take away your receauer and open the hole of the Limbeck and put in your glasse funnell and poure in all the distilled water in the recipient vppon the earth and stoppe the hole of the Limbeck and set the receauer vnto the necke thereof well luted and distill againe obserue the maner aforesaid of drawing and making infusion and doe thus tenne times The tenth distillation finished let all passe together for then the earth is made flying So the aire the water the fire and the earth will ascend together by the Limbeck and be brought into one substance which were in foure One together in nature and now simple as the incorruptible heauen yet are they not fixed but notwithstanding they are so coupled together betweene themselues that by no meanes they can bee seperated but will continue one simple bodie for euer euen as the christalline and vncorruptible heauen which notwithstanding is compounded of the foure elements What thinke you of this my sonne Can not this quintaessence helpe euerie disease that doth infect man through his most excellent temperature whether it be in heate cold moyst or drie for all are in it that he may distribute vnto euerie one that which is necessarie euen as the heauen when neede requireth giueth vnto the earth all things as coldnesse heate or moysture And yet is neither hote colde moist nor drie but of one simple essence and that indued with such a nature that is giueth vnto euerie thing that which is necessarie In like manner doth this quintaessence Therefore my sonne reioyce and giue the almightie God thankes which hath opened these things vnto the Philosophers The vii Chapter NOw my sonne if thou wilt bring this quintaessence yet to a greater perfection Take a great circulatory or Pellican that is a glasse that hath a great head like to
