appear_v how_o much_o art_n help_v nature_n for_o we_o shall_v say_v nothing_o of_o the_o coral_n preparation_n because_o that_o we_o shall_v to_o that_o effect_n hint_n on_o that_o we_o have_v

into_o a_o liquid_a pap_n then_o draw_v off_o again_o this_o liquor_n by_o distillation_n with_o the_o gentle_a heat_n of_o a_o vaporous_a bath_n and_o thus_o continue_v for_o seven_o time_n or_o rather_o till_o the_o artist_n can_v find_v out_o by_o the_o taste_n of_o these_o earth_n that_o they_o be_v sufficient_o impregnate_v with_o the_o savour_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o sulphureous_a

preparation_n of_o gold_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v necessary_a to_o speak_v two_o word_n beforehand_o to_o give_v to_o understand_v that_o this_o metal_n may_v be_v so_o well_o open_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o chemistry_n as_o to_o be_v capable_a of_o produce_v some_o virtue_n in_o we_o although_o it_o may_v be_v reduce_v again_o to_o its_o first_o metallic_a body_n for_o there_o be_v many_o which_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o though_o this_o fix_v body_n be_v dissolve_v and_o alter_v by_o preparation_n nevertheless_o it_o be_v reducible_a into_o its_o body_n and_o by_o consequence_n not_o capable_a to_o produce_v in_o we_o that_o virtue_n which_o the_o ancient_n and_o modern_n do_v attribute_n to_o it_o but_o we_o must_v clear_v this_o business_n by_o the_o demonstration_n of_o the_o dissolution_n of_o other_o metal_n into_o salt_n or_o rather_o into_o vitriol_n as_o silver_n copper_n tin_n lead_v and_o iron_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v most_o common_o capable_a of_o be_v reduce_v again_o into_o metal_n which_o hinder_v not_o but_o that_o the_o most_o skilful_a physician_n make_v of_o it_o daily_o more_o and_o more_o by_o reason_n that_o their_o study_n and_o experience_n make_v they_o discover_v those_o rare_a virtue_n which_o these_o open_a metal_n produce_v in_o chronical_a disease_n which_o be_v the_o most_o root_a and_o stubborn_a now_o all_o these_o metallick_n vitriol_n have_v different_a taste_n and_o colour_n as_o also_o they_o have_v all_o some_o specific_a virtue_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o their_o effect_n which_o oblige_v we_o to_o say_v that_o since_o gold_n though_o of_o a_o fix_v nature_n can_v be_v so_o prepare_v and_o open_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o certain_a thing_n which_o be_v daily_o use_v both_o as_o aliment_n and_o medicament_n and_o that_o it_o can_v be_v reduce_v into_o a_o vitriolic_a salt_n which_o have_v its_o colour_n and_o its_o specific_a taste_n and_o virtue_n why_o shall_v it_o be_v deprive_v of_o be_v put_v in_o use_n because_o of_o its_o reducibility_n into_o metal_n not_o but_o that_o we_o believe_v with_o the_o wise_a that_o if_o this_o noble_a metal_n be_v once_o so_o open_v and_o radical_o dissolve_v in_o such_o wise_a that_o it_o can_v never_o be_v reduce_v into_o metal_n again_o by_o any_o chemical_a artifice_n i_o say_v we_o shall_v believe_v that_o gold_n thus_o uncorporify_v and_o volatilise_v will_v acquire_v a_o far_o more_o ample_a sphere_n of_o activity_n and_o virtue_n but_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o we_o do_v not_o omit_v to_o attribute_v to_o the_o other_o preparation_n that_o virtue_n which_o have_v be_v know_v by_o redouble_a experience_n first_o have_v be_v well_o and_o due_o prepare_v and_o moreover_o first_o imbue_v impregnate_v and_o fill_v with_o

now_o lay_v down_o some_o of_o those_o remark_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o this_o operation_n which_o may_v very_o well_o pass_v for_o one_o of_o the_o most_o pleasant_a and_o most_o considerable_a of_o all_o the_o rare_a chemical_a pharmacie_n the_o artist_n therefore_o must_v choose_v the_o pure_a gold_n which_o yet_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o it_o something_o of_o allay_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v pass_v it_o or_o melt_v it_o down_o with_o antimony_n who_o sulphur_n consume_v all_o which_o be_v heterogeneal_a to_o it_o as_o its_o great_a sweetness_n ductibility_n high_a colour_n
