some_o profitable_a and_o some_o hurtful_a therefore_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o reform_v this_o art_n of_o chemistry_n &_o leave_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v hurtful_a or_o unprofitable_a i_o discover_v only_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v useful_a and_o good_a for_o the_o body_n of_o man._n this_o task_n i_o be_o able_a to_o perform_v so_o much_o the_o more_o happy_o in_o regard_n my_o first_o study_n be_v in_o this_o way_n of_o chemistry_n in_o which_o i_o take_v great_a delight_n and_o follow_v it_o with_o great_a diligence_n under_o excellent_a master_n who_o be_v most_o

most_o noble_a sigismundus_n fueger_n schwatzensis_n who_o maintain_v many_o servant_n in_o the_o practice_n of_o chemistry_n at_o great_a charge_n and_o have_v enrich_v the_o art_n of_o chemistry_n with_o many_o experiment_n to_o conclude_v i_o conceive_v that_o i_o may_v very_o well_o undertake_v this_o talk_n of_o reform_v chemistry_n and_o physic_n consider_v my_o knowledge_n in_o

the_o tincture_n be_v extract_v be_v these_o viz._n gold_n quicksilver_n antimony_n the_o philosopher_n salt_n balsam_n red_a coral_n mummy_n baulm_n celandine_n valerian_n germander_n succory_n swallow_v wort_n and_o beginning_n with_o gold_n i_o will_v brief_o and_o methodical_o teach_v you_o the_o way_n to_o extract_v the_o tincture_n out_o of_o these_o simple_n the_o ancient_a chemist_n who_o write_v fable_n more_o than_o serious_a matter_n if_o they_o have_v ease_v we_o of_o this_o labour_n we_o shall_v have_v be_v very_o thankful_a to_o they_o but_o see_v they_o have_v fail_v we_o i_o will_v make_v up_o this_o defect_n the_o tincture_n of_o gold_n the_o tincture_n of_o gold_n be_v the_o pure_a part_n of_o the_o gold_n wherein_o all_o its_o colour_n be_v contain_v and_o this_o be_v extract_v there_o remain_v the_o white_a body_n of_o gold_n this_o colour_a part_n of_o the_o gold_n differ_v much_o from_o the_o white_a body_n as_o the_o pure_a from_o the_o impure_a and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v separate_v or_o else_o you_o do_v nothing_o when_o you_o have_v extract_v the_o colour_a part_n you_o must_v exalt_v it_o to_o the_o high_a degree_n and_o whereas_o the_o colour_n in_o gold_n may_v be_v exalt_v to_o the_o twenty_o four_o degree_n the_o tincture_n extract_v must_v be_v exalt_v ten_o time_n more_o and_o no_o further_o this_o tincture_n have_v a_o wonderful_a virtue_n in_o cleanse_v renew_v and_o restore_v the_o blood_n not_o only_o in_o the_o part_n disease_v but_o also_o throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n how_o much_o of_o this_o tincture_n you_o must_v take_v at_o a_o time_n you_o shall_v hear_v afterward_o i_o will_v now_o show_v you_o how_o you_o must_v extract_v it_o first_o melt_v your_o gold_n with_o antimony_n that_o it_o may_v be_v well_o purge_v by_o the_o antimony_n according_a to_o the_o usual_a way_n take_v this_o gold_n and_o dissolve_v it_o in_o the_o distil_a water_n of_o common_a salt_n this_o water_n of_o salt_n must_v be_v make_v thus_o take_v of_o the_o best_a white_a salt_n make_v by_o the_o sun_n and_o melt_v it_o in_o a_o very_a hot_a fire_n as_o brass_n or_o silver_n etc._n etc._n be_v melt_v several_a time_n then_o make_v it_o into_o powder_n and_o mix_v it_o with_o the_o juice_n of_o radish_n and_o when_o the_o salt_n be_v dissolve_v in_o the_o juice_n distil_v they_o together_o then_o take_v the_o water_n which_o you_o have_v distil_v off_o from_o they_o and_o mix_v it_o with_o the_o juice_n of_o bloodwort_n of_o each_o alike_o and_o distil_v they_o together_o take_v the_o water_n which_o you_o have_v distil_v off_o from_o they_o and_o pour_v it_o again_o to_o the_o ground_n remain_v distil_v it_o again_o and_o so_o you_o must_v do_v five_o time_n then_o take_v of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o first_o distillation_n and_o in_o this_o dissolve_v your_o gold_n when_o your_o gold_n be_v dissolve_v put_v a_o little_a of_o the_o spirit_n of_o tartar_n into_o this_o water_n of_o salt_n to_o make_v the_o gold_n powder_n fall_n to_o the_o bottom_n then_o pour_v off_o this_o water_n of_o salt_n from_o the_o gold_n powder_n and_o wash_v your_o gold_n powder_n with_o common_a water_n distil_v until_o all_o the_o spirit_n of_o salt_n be_v well_o wash_v from_o it_o then_o take_v this_o gold_n powder_n and_o put_v it_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o wine_n which_o must_v be_v make_v thus_o take_v of_o the_o best_a wine_n and_o put_v it_o in_o a_o circulatory_a vessel_n which_o must_v be_v very_o well_o close_v up_o so_o that_o no_o vapour_n can_v get_v out_o fill_v the_o three_o part_n of_o
