hearbs is such a sweet thing that the like cannot bee found vpon the earth And this Raymond Lullie calleth the Flower of Flowers because Bees gather it vpon the Flowers in the field And truely it is a most strange thing if wee would consider well the qualitie of Honey and Waxe and therefore the wise Baruch Arabico in the Academie of Avicene did write this sentence Mel dentro olio difuori satisfying vs by this that Honey and Oyle were the first two liquors in the world And truly it is so if we consider well as it may well bee prooved by holy Scripture The order to make this Quintessence is thus Take two pound of perfect pure Honey and put it into a great glasse that foure parts of fiue may remaine emptie Lute it well with a Head and Receiver and giue it fire vntill there appeare certain white fumes which you shall turne into water with wetting of clothes in cold water and laying them on the Receiver and Head and they will turne into water of a redd colour like blood When it is all distilled keepe the glasse close shut and let it stand till it bee cleare and in the colour of a Rubine Then distill it in Bal●e● Mariae at least sixe or seven times and so it will lose his red colour and remaine in the colour of Golde having a great smell and so pleasant that the like cannot bee found in the world The juice of a Limmon doeth dissolue Leafe-golde in vvarme ashes with the Quintessence of this honey and maketh it potable in fortie eight houres This Quintessence dissolveth gold and maketh it potable and likewise any sort of Iewell that is put therein It is of such vertue that if any bee a dying and drinke two or three drammes thereof presently hee will recover as the Quintessence of Wine will doe If you wash any wound therewith or other sore it will heale quickly It is also good against the Cough Catarre and paines of the Milt and many other diseases which I will not speake of for but few and they very hardly wil beleeue the great vertue and operation thereof I gaue this six and fortie dayes vnto one that had the Palsie and hee was holpen It helpeth also the falling sicknesse and preserveth the bodie from putrifaction so that by these you may perceiue that it is a celestiall medicine If therefore anie vertuous man would take a little paine in the experience heereof hee shall doe wonderfull things as many times I haue so that the people deemed that I wrought by Inchantment when as indeed I did it by vertue of this liquor ministring the same so privily that they could not see it which fell out to my great honour and benefit of the sicke as you

feces and put it into a new earthen pot and set it in a furnace of reverberation vntill it bee burnt into ashes then take that ashes and make therof a Lie with Fumetarie water and when thou seest that the ashes will make the water no more sharpe cast them away and let the water settle cleare then vapour away the water with a soft fire and in the bottome will remaine a Salt the which you shall dissolue and congeale vntill it be cleare and faire as Sal ●…ron or Eniallie then keepe it to thy use the water is to drinke with Wine The Oyle is to annoynt the fores or aches and the salt is to purge and the order to vse it is thus Either in the Poxe Gowt or the Palsie First you shall purge the Patient wel with this Take of the salt halfe a scruple Theriaca Alexandria two drammes mixe them and giue them thereof halfe a scruple at a time you shall giue this three or foure times according to the infection of the disease for in this Salt is vertue to purge all humours that causeth the Gowt the Palsie and the Poxe and such like hath not been found neither by vomiting or purging Then when the patient is wel purged if the patient haue any sores or holes you shall mundifie them with this salt and when they are mundified you shall dresse them twise a day with the Oyle vntill they bee whole but if the Patient haue no holes you shall annoynt those places where hee feeleth ache or griefe Also every morning early in his bed and at night an houre after supper you shall giue him a good spoonefull of the water with Rennish wine to drinke and let him sweat thereon well also hee shall vse this with his meat if he will Yee shall vnderstand that the cure lyeth not in meat nor drinke but in the medicine and therfore keep him not too hungry but let him haue good meate and well seasoned

long till that the Mercury cannot be perceived then put all the substance in a subliming vessell with his cover the which hath a hole in the top as I will shew thee hereafter in the next booke if God permit me life Then set it in a calcining furnace and give it first a small fire till that the moysture bee flowne out thorow the hole of the cover of the Sublimatory the which yee shall know by this meanes ye shall now and then holde a knife over the hole of the instrument and then if the knife be wet there is moysture in the vessell but when yee see that the knife is still dry stop the hole with a stopple of paper and encrease the fire a little bigger and let it stand so foure houres long then encrease the fire yet bigger and let it stand foure houres then make the fire so hot that the bottome may be all red and that continue sixe houres but let not your fire slake then let it waxe cold and take that which is sublimed and grind it on a stone with two pound of salt prepared and sublime it againe as yee did afore in all points then let it waxe cold and grind it againe with Salt prepared and sublime it againe This grinding and subliming yee shal use untill the Mercury bee as cleare as Christall and as white as Snow and then it is prepared then keepe it in a glasse till that I write more thereof To sublime Sulphure FIrst before that yee will sublime Sulphur ye must prepare him thus Take Sulphure vive and grind it to fine powder then searce it finely then put it in a pan with strong vineger and set it on the fire and let it seeth a whole day and a night but yee must put thereto alwayes more vineger as it consumeth avvay and still yee must skum off the skim or filth as fast as it riseth and vvhen it hath sodden so in Vineger ye shall seeth it two daies in the Vrine of young children and alwayes skum off the froth and put thereto more Vrine alwaies as it consumeth This seething and skumming ye shall continue untill there rise no more froth then put it in a glasse and wash it with warme water till all the stinke of the pisse be gone and that it remaine as white as any Snow then dry it wel for it is well purged then take of that purged Sulphur halfe a pound Vitriall calcined one pound grind these very fine together so that the Sulfure cannot be seene then put them in a subliming vessell and set it in the furnace and give it first a small fire till the moisture be gone the which ye shall know with a knife as I shewed you afore then stop the hole and increase the fire a little and so keepe it sixe houres then let it waxe cold and take that which is sublimed and grind it vvith fresh Vitrioll and sublime it againe as ye did afore this subliming and grinding vvith fresh Vitrioll ye shall use till that the Sulfure be as vvhite as Snovv so cleere as a glasse and then it is sublimed enough therefore keepe it in a glasse close shut vvith Waxe till that vve vvrite more thereof To sublime Sal Armoniacke TAke Sal Armoniack l'i and as much limall of Iron and grind them together on a stone then put them in a subliming vessell and seeth it in the furnace first with a small fire and then increase it so that the bottome of the pot may be red hot and so let it stand halfe a Summers day then let it waxe cold and take that which is sublimed and grinde it on a stone with as much salt prepared and sublime it againe This grinding with new salt and subliming ye shall use so long till that it bee sublimed as white as Snow and then it is prepared then keepe it to sublime thy Mercurie with To sublime Copper which is a great secret FIrst yee must calcine it with Sulphur thus Take plates of Copper beaten as thin as is possible and cut them in little peeces as bigge as a peny or thereabout then take a crusible and put therein Brimstone beaten a finger thicke then lay thereon a bed of these plates and cover them with Sulphur then lay another bed and cover it with Sulphur againe and this doe till the Crusible bee full then set it in the calcining Furnace halfe a day long with a good fire then let it waxe cold and grinde it upon a stone and then put it into Aqua fortis let it dissolue and distill away the water and make the powder very dry the which remaineth in the bottome of the glasse land grinde it on a stone with salt prepared then put it in a subliming vessell and set it in a Furnace and giue first a small fire and then giue it a very strong fire foure and twenty houres and then let it waxe cold and in the vessell yee shall find a greene powder light and subtile but nothing like the Copper the which yee had to sublime Then keepe that in a glasse close shut with waxe for there is no better medicine in the world then this for the Canker the Wolfe Fistulaes and all such like sores for this doth helpe them quickly and when yee will occupy it in such sores yee must straw it thereon and lay upon it a wound plaister of the which I haue written a number in my pearle of Chirurgery and it shall heale them how sore soever they be To sublime Lead and Tinne THese two are sublimed with lesse labour then the Copper neverthelesse when ye shall sublime them goe to worke as thou didst with Copper saving that ye may not calcine them with Sulfur but as I haue shewed you afore And when it is so calcined yee shall dissolue them in this strong water following and when it is dissolved distill the water away till it remaine dry then dissolue it againe and distill the water away againe so that it remaine scant dry then take that and put thereto twise so much salt prepared and sublime them together with a strong fire and yee shall find a white powder sublimed in the top the which serveth to the same use that the copper serveth for that is in all foule Vlcerations and filthy sores c. How to make the said Aqua fortis to dissolue Lead and Tinne TAke salt Peter Vitrioll Roman and Sal Armoniack of each one pound beate them well together and put them in a glasse the which is very well luted then set on the head with a great receiver and lute the joynts well that no ayre may come forth then giue it a very small fire twelue houres long and then encrcase it according to Art but take good heed that yee bee not rash with your fire at the first lest that all the glasses fly in peeces then keepe it to thy use and when yee will dissolue your Lead yee must take for every pound

it on such kind of sores as will not bee holpe by no other kind of meanes for it will take away their corofiues and cause them to heale although they were never so ill And moreover because that thou shalt know wherefore it serveth yee shall note that it is good against all Cankers Fistulaes the wolfe and such like for it helpeth them al though they were never so evill as Paraselsus writes in his great Surgery in the chapter of the Canker and such like To make water of sal Armoniake TAke Sal Armoniake that is sublimed seven times and grinde it to powder then put it into a glasse that hath a hole in the bottome on the one side and then set that glasse in another and set them in a moist sellar and then the Sal Armoniacke will dissolue into water and runne into the neather glasse the which yee shall keepe close in the aforesaid manner yee may make water of Allum the which is excellent to dry up all filthy wounds c. The order to fixe all things that are flying TO fixe any thing is to be understood thus Ye shall sublime it so often as it will sublime no more but it will lie in the fire so as the fire cannot consume it and when ye will fixe any thing as Sulphur Quickesilver or Arsnicke or such like yee shall doe it in this order yee shall take Mercurie sublimed or Sulphur sublimed or Arsenicke or such like and put it into a subliming glasse which I will shew you divers Paternes in the next booke God willing and set it in a Furnace with a small fire and then encrease it according to Art the space of a whole day and then at Evening yee shall turne the glasse and let it sublime up into the other end and this order yee shall use with subliming from one end unto another till that it will sublime no more the which yee shall proue in this manner Yee shall take a little thereof and lay it on a red hot coale and look whether it smoke or no for if it smoke it is not fixt but if it smoke not it is fixt but to know the very truth yee shall take thereof and grinde it to powder and then put it into a Crusible and giue it as great a fire as though yee would melt Copper and then if yee see there commeth no smoake from it it is fixt but if it smoake away yee shall put it into a new subliming glasse and sublime it againe then keep it to thy use till I write more thereof for when you haue your spirits fixt yee haue a great treasure not to be bought with money and principally of Sulphure fixt for therewith ye may doe what yee list for there can no sicknesse come unto mans body but it may bee holpe therewith Also Mercury being fixt is such an excellent medicine against the poxe that the like cannot bee found in the world But yee shall note that it must not be occupied alone but with other things which I will shew you in an other place The Arsenicke and the Sal Armoniacke may not bee occcupied in any wise inwardly but onely outwardly as yee shall heare hereafter and especially of the salt of Arsenicke To make Oyle of Antimonie IF you will make this oyle yee must looke diligently to your fire lest ye spoyle all then take a retort of glasse and lute it very well and put therein three pounds of Antimonie and three pounds of Sal gemme calcined beaten together then encrease your fire according to Art three dayes and three nights and lute thy receiver very well which must bee of the quantity of fiue or sixe gallons or more the greater the better and then thou shalt haue an oyle as red as blood which is not to bee sold or bought for money for it helpeth the Canker the Wolfe Noli me tangere and Fistulaes if yee annoynt them therewith first the dead flesh will fall out without paine and then it will heale how sore soever it bee although it were forty yeares old In summa It is a most excellent oyle against all sores and venemous Vlcers for if yee annoynt them three times therewith it helpes them although they were so venemous as they did eate a hand broad in one night as is divers times seene of the Wolfe and such like ulcerations that eate so as it seemes a dogge had bitten out a great peece These and all other ulcerations which will not bee holpe by any meanes yee shall helpe them with this oyle in short space so as shall seeme marvellous to behold How yee may draw forth Salt out of all mettalles and first out of Gold which is called Sal sapientium FIrst if you will make sait of Gold you shall take gold filed into powder and dissolue it in the afore written strong water and when it is dissolved yee shall boyle away the water till it remaine dry then thou shalt put thereon faire water and let it seeth therewith three or foure houres long and then poure it away and put more thereon and let it seeth againe and then poure it off againe this pouring on and off yee shall use till the water haue no taste of the strong water but is sweet and when it is so giue it great fire that it may dry well then put it in a glasse and set it in a calcining Furnace and there it shal calcine a whole moneth long so that it remaine alwayes red hot and at one degree of fire then take and grinde it on a stone untill it be as fine as is possible then poure thereon good distilled vineger and lay a cover over the glasse and let it seeth in Balneo Mariae a whole day long putting thereto alwayes fresh vineger then poure off that vineger into a glasse and put thereon more and boyle it a whole day as ye did afore and this yee shall doe three times then take that vineger that yee poured off and distill it by Balneo Mariae till it remaine dry and in the bottome yee shall find a salt as white as snow which yee shall take and put thereon more vineger and set it in the Balneo Mariae that it may boyle the space of two houres then let it settle a whole day and then poure off that which is cleare and then if there remaine any thing in the bottome it is not enough prepared then shall yee dissolue it in vineger againe and distill the vineger againe as I haue shewed you and yee shall find a whiter salt in the bottome of the glasse which ye shall put in vineger againe and let that boyle in Balneo Mariae two houres as I haue afore shewed you and then let it stand and settle and then poure off the clearer part and distill it in Bailneo Mariae and the salt will remaine in the bottome as white as snow But if there remaine any in the other glasse yee shall not doe as I haue shewed
