both In Vitriol alone is manifestly to be séene egar sharpe sower and astringent for that of all other Salts it is most corporal But those tastes or qualities which are mixed with passiue and Elementarie qualities haue not the full force of euery of these but are made more weake by mixtion for the sharpe which is not extracted and seperated but by the force of the fier with the aiery part is mixed with a mercurial liquor the sower is mixed with a flegmetique or watery humour and the eger with a terrestrial drinesse the which the more they haue of the Elementary qualities and the same passiue so much the more weake they are and impaired But if the actiue qualities be separated from the passiue as by arte it is to be done then the tarte and sower do obtaine their full force and doe manifestly and fully burne the tongue with their fiers for the sharpe hath a more fiery and burning qualitie and the sower a more watery propertie For the sharpe partaking of the nature of fire hath ouermuch vertue to attenuate dissipate and to fret the sower as aiery watery of thinne parts hath vertue to cutte to open to refrigerate and also to put away putrifactions The eger and more tarte which remaineth in the Colchotar after the extraction of the sharpe oylely and sower water with the aiery parts of the elemental qualities do possesse a nature and force to thicken and binde by reason of the earthy and grosse propertie But if from that terrestrial parte the pure which is Salt be extracted it wil haue a salt taste by the vertue whereof it wil bée made both deiectiue and vomitiue And in the swéete Sulphur of Vitriol there is a manifest swéetnesse which is plainely stupefactiue Finally in all Salts almost disseuered by Chymicall seperation these thrée are to be discerned Sower Swéete and Bitter which haue force of actiue qualities and yet not destitute of the moist passiue terrestrial and grosse but with them in sundry wise so seasoned and tempered that they bring to the Salts varety of tastes And let this serue for demonstration by which it may plainely appeare that those sundry differences of tastes are manifestly contained in Salts both ioyntly and seuerally especially in their spirits And according to the opinion of Hermes schollers we deny that those inset and naturall qualities vertues and properties are to be arrogated to hotte moist and drie but rather to the essences of a nature which is salt bitter eger sharpe sower tarte swéete and oylely For there are sixe hundred frigidities or coldes sixe hundred heates humidities ●●gities or drinesses then the which nothing doth more heate coole moysten and dry But they haue neuer brought any sauour or taste to pure or simple water or to other Iuices or liquors which haue béene destitute of Salt Whatsoeuer is without Salt or destitute of a brinish spirit can neuer be discerned by taste but is vtterly vnsauory Yet notwithstanding it simple water be powred vpon ashes with a little heate that water wil drawe vnto it saltnesse bitternesse or sharpnesse more or lesse according to the nature of the salt more or lesse salt or bitter which is contained in the ashes And if any man obiect that Hony and Sugar by boyling or by the force of fier may be made sharpe or bitter we answer that it commeth so to passe when the aiery sulphurus and watery partes which bring and preserue the swéetnesse do perish and are separated by decoction But terrestrial Salt whose faculties are inward haue this property that of their owne nature they possesse this or that sharpe or bitter taste how extreame soeuer it be So if thou shalt drawe out of onions and garlicke a Volatile and aiery sharpe Mercurial Salt which ariseth in the superficies vppermost of their bodies thou shalt make them more swéet and pleasing and to put off their sharpnesse by which they bite the tongue but yet they will retaine and represent their hot qualitie with the which they abound by reason of their fixed Saltes As out of Saltes so out of odours also we may drawe certaine faculties without the helpe of hotte qualities For séeing they are referred to the diuers properties of Sulphur sundry odours doe arise therfrom and not from the qualities Which if they be swéete and pleasing the braine receiueth them with pleasure and delight whereas vnpleasant sauours or odours are offensiue both to the nose and to the braine and are reiected Such is the marcotical and stefactiue odour of Poppie and Hemlock and such like which do stinke and astonish the braine by reason as Physitions affirme of their colde qualitie Wherein they breake the Lawe of their axiomes for that they holde that their odours are of a hotte qualitie as most true it is For that which is stupefactiue in the Poppeis and in Opium is no other thing but a certaine oylely and sulphurus parte conceiuing flame much like to that kinde of oyle which is extracted out of the séedes of Poppey the which albeit it do readily burne yet as it is commonly thought it sheweth most colde effects The common Physitians to correct such coldnesse attributed to Opium vse helpes as is to bee séene in their opiat and antidotarie medicines wherein Opium is an Ingredient Of these kind of cōpositions Myrepsus describeth aboue foure score where Euphorbium which is of a fiery and burning facultie is no more forborne then either of the Peppers or such other like causticke and burning simples of extreame hotte qualitie when as the true and proper corrector of Opium that I may so speake wel knowne to Hermeticall Physitians is Vineger which putteth away stupefactiue vapours and fumes that they ascende not to the braine so suppressing them by the sharpnesse thereof that it retaineth them whereas their hot correctors do more stirre them vp and multiple them Hereof come sinister and deadly passions and paines by reason whereof men are constrained to vse the imperfect Laudanum of Empiricks against the deadly daunger of such medicines CHAP. VII NOw somewhat shall be saide concerning colours The dogmatical Physitians that they might not diminish any whit of the qualities of colours are woont to referre to those qualities a certaine variety of colours and haue obserued and noted certaine friuolous and light obseruations as when they say that in a white onion or in white wine a man may iudge by the colour a great coldnesse than in a read onion or in red wine Whereas white sublimate and Arsnic albeit they are most white like vnto Christall yet neuerthelesse vnder this whitenesse they foster and hide a most burning and deadly fire Yea Sugar it selfe which is so swéet white and pleasant doth hide in the innermost parts thereof a wonderfull blacknesse and sharpnesse from whence may bée extracted most sharpe liquors and waters which will dissolue and breake the most hard metalls Therefore it is absurd to sharpe and forme colours from hotte and

from things out of which a moisture or liquor may be drawne For after one maner Hony after another Sulphur after another Wine after an other Waxe after another Turpentines and Gimmes as Mastic Euphorbum Styrar and such like after another Salts after another Hearbs after another Rootes after another many seedes are to be distilled The second difference is taken from the diuersitie of the liquor distilled For waters are otherwise extracted then are oyles As for example out of Hearbes Rootes Flowers and seedes which are not dry but growing waters are extracted by simple distillation without the admixture of any other liquor But out of Rootes Hearbes Flowers and séedes which are dry and odoriferus the floating oyles are not extracted without the meanes of some water or other liquor as a helpe The third difference dependeth vpon the matter and fashion of the vessels Vpon the matter for one vessel is of earth another of brasse another of lead another of glasse Vpon the fashion also for there is one maner of distillation by an Allembic another by a Cornut another by a Matrat and another by a Pellican and so of others The fourth difference is by the site and placing of the vessell For if it be by a right Cucurbit which hath a head with a pipe or beake or whether it be inclining or crooked we call such distillations by ascent or when the neck of one Matrate or cucurbit is put into the neck of another that is to say whē the vessels by concourse are so ioyned together that one taketh in the mouth of the other and the same by a diuers position and by these most commonly are distilled those things which doe hardly ascend and haue small store of iuice Many things also are distilled by discent that vessell which containeth the matter turned the wrong way and put into the other the which manner of working is called by Discent and is contrary to that which is by Ascent By Discent are distilled Ceates and sundry kinds of fat wood as Giraiacum Iunipar and those of rosen sort The fifth difference is by the degrees of fire which are foure the first second third and fourth The first is soft and gentle such is the fire of Balne M. or of vapour the second is of ashes the third is of sand or of the dust of yron that falleth from the Smithes hammer in his worke at the Stythée The fourth is of bare fire By the first and second degrée of fire we distill by Ascent by the third and fourth we distil by concourse and Discent Thus oyles are distilled out of Salts as out of common Salt out of Vitriol and out of such like But before you begin to distil be sure that you dissolue putrifie But because mention is made before of Digestion and Fermentation I will shew you plainly how by these two meanes you may extract out of Roses a most Fragrant water of life and so excellent that one droppe thereof shall giue a swéete sent and odour to a great quantity of common water and wil also make the the same most profitable and swéete Therefore take Roses gathered it 〈…〉 when there is neither raine nor 〈◊〉 vppon them but tarry till the Sunne with his beames hath 〈◊〉 and taken away that humiditie Gather then of them a good quantity and then bruise or beate them in a stone 〈◊〉 or else thou shalt put them into a small bonlet of oake and shalt with diligence presse them in with thy hands in such sort that the vessell may bee stuffed ful almost to the toppe Then stoppe and close it vp that Digestion may more easily bee made and set in a wine seller by the space of one moneth or longer if néede require vntill thou shalt perceiue that the foresaide matter haue the odour of tart wine whereby thou shalt knowe that the Fermentation is perfected and so long it must at any hand bee delayed vntill the foresaide signe doe appeare These things thus finished take to thée the fourth or fifth part of the Roses Fermented according to the greatnesse of thy vessel which necessarily must be such as the Chymicall Distillars doe vse wherewith they extract their oyles and Aqna-Vitae the which indéede are large and of Brasse rather then of Lead furnished with their refrigeatories as they terme them which being full of water the spirits made thick through cold are more easily and commodiously drawen forth Taking I say that portion of Fermented Roses distill them according to the wonted maner That done seperate the feces remayning which subsist in the bottome of the Allembic and put so much of the Fermented Roses aforesaid into the same vessell and power vpon them the water extracted before distilling altogether againe vntill there appeare diuers thy vessell as well closed as may be as is said afore Gather againe the dryed feces the which it thou wilt thou maiest reserue with the former feces and put the same quantity of the foresaide Roses into the Allembic which thou diddest before vpon which againe thou shalt power all the distilled water And this thou shalt doe so often vntill thou hast distilled all the said fermented Roses These things orderly done thou shalt take all the distilled water and shalt distill onely the twelth part thereof with a gentle fire in a vessell with a long neck or Matrate or in such a one as Aqua-Vitae is distilled which is the quantity of all the spiritualls almost As for example if thou haue twelue pound of water thou shalt onely extract one pound which wil be very odoriserus most swéete and spiritual as ready to take flame as is that which is extracted out of wine This water if thou wilt yet make of greater vertue thou maiest rectified againe But the rest of the water which shal remaine in the bottome of the Allembic will be more fragrant and better then that which is distilled after the cōmon maner whereinto also thou maist conuey his Salt and insert it by bringing the foresaid feces to calcination meshing the same oftentimes through Hypocrates sléene or bagge with water whereby it shal more easily draw vnto it and retaine that Salt After the same maner also thou maiest draw waters of life out of violets and other flowers and especially out of them which are hote and odoriferus as Rosemary Sage Betonie and such other like which are better and more effectuall against sicknesses then if they be made according to the common order The least quantity hereof will worke wonderful effects If our Apothecaries would acquaint themselues with these Concoctions Fermentations and Digestions and vnderstand them aright in their workings immitating nature after a certaine maner they should be able to effect diuers commendable and profitable preparations Yea it is not fitting the Apothecary alone to know these things but for the Physitian also the commander and director of the Apothecarie if he respect his humour and the health of his patient But these things
