Aqua Vitae halfe a pound mingle them all together and let it putrifie in hot dung one whole moneth then wring it out and set it in the sunne two moneths After the same maner is the Balme of Visci pomorum made or with oile Oliue first purified in Balneo Take of the flowres of Hipericon i. pound of the Muslage of the roote of the great Conferie iiii ounces floures of Camomil Verbascum ana pug ii oile of egges and turpentine ana half a pound Aqua Vitae one pound Mirre Frankensence Mastick Muâ—iae ana ii ounces red sugar vi ounces putrifâ—e all in dung one moneth in a vessel diligently stopped then wring it out and circulate it in Balneo three dayes afterward with a soft fire boyle it to the substance of a Balme Take of the leaues of the Mysselto of the Apple tree cut smal ii pound put them into a vessel of glaâ—le putting thereto buds of the Popler tree halfe a pound oyle of the grease of a Badger and of Butter ana iiii ounces turpentine vi ounces oyle of wormes ii pound and a halfe good white wine ii pound digest all well stopped in verie hot dung ii moneths then presse it and circulate it and with a soft fire boile it vntil the liquors be consumed there can not be found a more excellent medicine to asswage acheâ— and paines The iuice of the leaues and rootes of hearbes you shall purifie vntill it bee cleare powring to it so much Aqua Vitae and digest it in Balneo in a glasse xv daies then separate that water by distillation and there remaineth in the bottome the slyme or muslage of the hearbes Steepe the leaues and rootes of hearbes in common water filtred or that which is better in white wine eight daies then let them boyle iii. daies with a soft fire vnder them Then wâ—ing them out and purifie it then boyle them with a softfire vntill they come to the thicknes of honie which we cal the slime of muslage By this rule you shal draw out of both Comferies Cynoglosso Centaurie Vinca peiuinca Aristolochie the roote of henbane the middle barke of Tillia their muslage verie profitable for the foresaid medicines Out of the flowres of red Poppie or their iuice you shal draw a water by a Limbeck very profitable to coole The salt of mans vrine hath an excellent qualitie to clense It is made thus First the vrine is to be filtred then coagulated after with distilled vinegar dissolued againe coagulated these must be reiterated 3. or 4. times Melt waxe at the fire and boyle it with wine till it bee consumed doe it so long vntill it cracke no more Take i. pound of wax thus prepared Alum calcined half a pound Sage leaues M. i. put al into a Limbeck with his receauer and distill it with a meane fire First there will come forth a grose oyle thick hard white which must be distilled againe as afore and iii. times reiterated and so you shall make an excellent oyle of waxe for all griefes of the synowes In like maner is the oyle of Rosen and pitch made Out of honie you shall first drawe an excellent water by Balneum afterward you shall put vnto the dead head or pheces that are left sand or flint stones calcined that the matter boyle not vp which you shall driue out by a 〈◊〉 of glasse giuing fire by degrees and so you shal distil a yellowish cleare oile togither with a grosse impure oyle Let all digest againe 4. or 5. dayes after distill it againe by a Limbecke in sande and there will come out a pure red oyle swimming vpon the water This water is sower almost like vinegar distilled and is very good against the Gangrena but the oyle which burneth like Aqua Vitae hath maruaiâ—ous qualities specially if it be circulated certaine daies with the spirit of wine for the spirit being after separated there remaineth a sweete oyle of pleasant sauour good for wounds by gunshot and eating vlcers Out of the pheces which remaines is drawen a salt first being calcined with a fire of reuerberation dissoluing it with his proper menstrua or common water distilled filtering and coagulating it three times It is good for al rotten vlcers This salt you shal mingle with his proper burning oyle according to arte and you shall reape greater commoditie thereof then is lawfull to be spoken Take of honie not separated from his waxe ii pounde Tartar made into pouder i pound let them putrifie together in dung xv dayes and distill it by a retort and there will first come a cleare water then a yellowish Put these againe vpon the dead head and putrifie it againe other xv dayes
another place Out of Saturne calcined is drawne a sweetish salt in balneo with distilled vinegar pouring it so often vpon the Pheces vntil it draw no more The menstrew euaporated the salt remaineth in the botome which by often dissolutions and coagulations is made Cristaline and afterward easily dissolued into oyle being set in a moist place But if you circulate this cristaline salt in a Pelicane with the alcool of wine 15. daies and after take away the menstrew by distillation put to new wine circulate it putting to a fit dose of cristaline salt of Tartar you shall make a Balme sweeter then sugar which will maruellously preuaile against all maligne vlcers and diseases of the eyes Decoct Antimonie made in pouder with a capital lie prepared of Tartar calcined and Sope ashes and quicke-lime the space of one houre then let it coole pouring vpoÌ„ it a litle Vinegar and there wil appeare a certaine rednes swimming vpon which you shal gather then againe let it boile for one houre or two againe let it coole and gather that which swimmeth vp Do this so often vntil there appeare no more rednes For it is the sulphure of antimonie which dried at a soft fire you shal keepe it to good vses Mingle Antimonie with Sugar and Alum and put all into a Retort of glasse make a soft fire for 4. or 5. houres afterward increase it and there will come out an oyle red like bloud It is also done with mercurie sublimate but great â—eede is to be taken lest any errour be committed in the degree of fire Boyle Sulphur prepared with oyle of Linseede with a verie soft fire and it will be like blood congealed Let the matter coole put it into a retort and giue it fire and there will distill out a verie red oyle of Sulphur It is also done if you mingle bran with your Sulphur and distill it Take of Sulphur Vinae P. i. with which mingle with a soft fire so much pure vâ—trioll molten that it may be one body Distill this by a discentorie and there will descend a red oyle into the receauer If i. pound of the flowre of sulphur be mixed with ii or iii. pound of oile of turpentine in a drie heate the flowres wil dissolue into a red oile Then the menstrew rightly artificially separate circulate the rubin of Sulphur with the Alcoll of wine eight dayes and you shal haue oyle of Sulphur that hath the qualities of the naturall Balme The sower oile of Sulphur is made by Sulphur by setting it on fire and hanging ouer it a bell or a large glasse head to 〈◊〉 the 〈◊〉 which 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 into that 〈…〉 Put Viâ—â—ioll beaâ—en into pouder into a Cucurbite giuing it a fire of the second degree and there wil issue a sower water which is called the â—leame of Vitrioll Take the Pheces which remaineth in the bottome of the vessell which is called Colcothar stampâ— that and if you mingle flyntes withall with a violent fire there will come out a red oyle It is also made with the simple Colcothar driuen out with a violent fire three daies space and there will come forth a verie hot oyle which is made sweete by circulation with spirit of wine Tartarizated But if the Colcothar bee dissolued in warme water and the rednesse in it separated and the water euaporated the Colcothar will remaine sweetish that which remaineth the rednesse being taken away is called Creta Uitrioli But if Vitrioll be drawne by the ninth a limbeck pouring on alwaies the liquor vpon the dead head and after circulating all by the space of eight dayes you shall haue the spirit of Vitrioll verie profitable for many things The â—leame of Allum is made like the fleame of Vitrioll But Allum is prepared if the â—leame be 5. times powred vpon the pheces out of which it was drawne and distilled last of all drie out all the fleame vntill it be drie Make brine of salt into which cast hot burning stones that they may be imbybed those stones so imbybed put into a retort giuing fire by degrees there wil come forth a very hot oyle of salt I said before that there was great force in Butyro Arseâ—ici fixo to cure al

seene and this fire passing the yellownesse of his aire or his inâ—oÌ„bustible oile then mayest thou first seperate the pheces from the Quintaessence Take therefore hard and white Sugar for it is not needefull that yee trauell much in dissoluing and congealing of it although there be much impuritie therin that hindereth not but that the inward part may bee brought foorth for it must be purged when as the rednes doth shew it selfe outward Take therefore ten or twentie pounds of sugar more or lesse as ye shall thinke good that being beaten put it into a cucurbitâ— of hard stone and put thereon Aquâ— vitae that it may stand couered viii fingers then distil it in Balueo with a strong fire vntill it wil distil no more then let it waxe colde and powre on the saide Aqua vitae againe and distill it againe and this shalt thou do sixe or seuen times at the last open the head and take foorth the sugar which thou shalt put in a strong glasse and set it in fine â—ifted ashes and put thereon the Aqua vitae and distill it vntill the halfe be come foorth then powre on againe the Aqua vitae which thou distilledst away first being made warm lest the glasse should breake ye shal note that the head would haue a hole in the top by the which ye may powre in the Aqua vitae with a funnel this thou shalt repeate often with a strong fire that the wine and the sugar may boyle in and because the halfe part of the wine will come away quickely ye shal presently put on the other part for if yee should distill foorth all the wine the sugar would burne through too much heate because it must continually be boyling in the glasse and it would smell of the burning for it hath alwayes his combustible sulfure wherefore yee must alwayes haue halfe the wine in the vessell and when thou seest the halfe is distilled forth make the same warme and put it in againe with a funnell and that thou shalt so often repeate vntill the sugar remaine as red as blood the which thou shalt perceiue through the glasse Thou mayst bring that to passe in viii or ten dayes according as thou rulest thy fire Note that when thou perceiuest the matter to be red let it coole and take away the vessell with ashes and set the vessell in Balneo and with a strong fire distill away the Aqua vite vntil the Sugar remaine drie and when it will distill no more yet shalt thou let it stand 4. or 5. daies very hot in the said Balneo that the sugar may be perfitly congealed then let it coole and take out the matter or stone the which will be blacke like pich that is to be vnderstoode when it is congealed then take the saide stone and put it into a great quantity of common water twise distilled and set it in Balneo fiue or sixe dayes with a great heate slightly couered stirring it euerie day fiue 〈◊〉 six times with a woodden ladle then let it coole and â—ake it forth and let it settle three or foure dayes then powre of that which is cleare into another vessel and keepe it close then powre on those pheces the sublimed water as a fore and set it in Balneo to digest three dayes stirring it with a ladle as ye did afore then let it coole and settle and powre of the clearest part as ye did afore and put it to the rost then powre on more water vpon the Pheces and digest it in Balneo as afore and this ye must so often repeate vntill the water bee no more coloured then thou mayest cast away the pheces for they are nothing woorth for the Element of the earth is with the Element of fire and water neither can they bee seperated any more but are fixed together Make thereof a triall for there will remaine nothing but a light ashes It will burne like oyle or fat neither doth there any thing remaine more then of oyle or fat Take the glasse wherein is all the red of the solution and distill it in Balneo or let it vapour away if ye haue store of distilled water vntil it be dry then let it coole take off the head and powre theron more sublimed water and set it in Balneo againe and stirre it about with a woodden ladell as yee did afore then let it settle as afore powre out of the clearest part and that thou shalt doe so long vntill there remaine no more pheces at the length put it in a glasse that may abide the fire and boyle or vapour it away so long vntill there appeare a certaine scum thereon then take it foorth and set it in a colde and drie or hot and drie place and it wil grow into a great red masse or lump and transpirant like a ruby or other philosophers stone the which if thou wile bring to pouder set it in a warme dunghil in a large wide glasse open and let it vapour away vntill it be come into a yellow pouder like vnto golde and so thou shalt haue the Quintaessence of Sugar fixt the which will retaine al flying spirites Neither is it sweete but a heauenly taste the which if yee put it in your mouth it will melt without any feeling If it bee winter or cold thou shalt seeme to feele a certaine naturall heate throughout the whole bodie and shalt seeme so temperate and light as though thou couldst flie If thou be ouerhot swallow a little presently thou shalt cole easilie as though thou wentest into a cold bath and thus it worketh in heate moist cold and dry by an incredible myracle when ye will vse it drinke it with rectified aqua vitae or rose water Endiue or Scabiowes or by it selfe if yee will and thou shalt see maruels if any be diseased outwardly with scabbes or vlcers let him drinke of this and wash the â—ores with wine wherein this Quintaesseâ—â—â— is dissolued and hee shall presently waxe whole most miraculously If any be wounded or thrust in with any weapon so that it be not deadly let him drinke Ê’ j of this Essence with warmed wine and wash the wound with wine wherein the Quintaessence is dissolued hee shall be presently cured so that those which shall heare or see it shall be amased thereat It helpeth also the falling sickenesse pestilence and all such diseases as may happen vnto man if ye haue Aurum Potabile ye shal mixe lij with ljâ— of this Quintaessence in a glasse and set it on a treuet or in a dry Balneo 30. daies in an Athanor and they wil be s 〈…〉 together and then it will worke miracles in mans bod 〈…〉 ye may also when ye haue drawen the Quintaessence of any herbe Coagulate and fix it with the same as I saide before with Aurum Potabile and thou shalt see thereof 〈…〉 les Furthermore if ye wil haue it to passe the helme yee must put thereon as
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 glassâ— 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 takâ— 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 Balâ—â—â— 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
thicke siue put this pouder againe into an earthen cucurbite and poure on your water and aire and stirre it with a wodden ladle and couer the mouth of the cucurbite close with a tyle and set it in a warme bath by the space of nine dayes to putrifie euerie day stirring it with a wooden ladle foure or fiue times and couer the cucurbite againe with a tyle setting a weight of lead vpon it at the nine dayes ende take your vessell out of the Balneo and that which is in it straine it into an earthen vessell glased and straine it hard vntill the matter drie Then take this drie pouder and put into his cucurbite and couer it with a tyle and keepe it in a warme place vntil I teach you what you shal do with it The moist liquor which is drawen from it wil be red for the element of fire is there present with the aire the water put that liquor into a cucurbite of stone and put on a head and lute it wel and set it in Balneo with a receauer well luted and distill away all the water with the aire seuerally from the fire in a boyling bath vntill there will no more distill and the fire will passe away in the bottome then take away the vessell out of the bath stop it well vntill I teach thee what is further to be done Then take againe the stone cucurbite wherein your pouder is conteined which I bad you before to keepe and poure on the fire and the aire and stirre it wel with a woden ladle and set it in a warme bath nine dayes more and couer it with a tyle and stirre it foure or fiue times euerie day with a 〈…〉 adle as you did afore And when the nine dayes are past straine our that which is in the vessell and poure the liquor in a glased vessel the residue of the pouder put into another vessell as you did before and keepe it so long vntill I teach thee how to draw out the combustible oyle Then take againe the vessell wherein your fire is and mingle your liquor with it which you keepe in your glased vessell where your fire and aire is and set a head vpon the vessell wherein your matter is and lute it and set it in Balneo and set a receauer to the bill of the head then distill out the water and aire with a boyling bath vntill no more will distill and you shall haue in the receauer water and aire take them away and take the vessell out of Balneo and you shall find remaining in the bottome like thicke Turpentine and that is the element of fire mingled with many Pheces Now the fire is to be separated from the Pheces on this manner poure on your water and aire vpon that from whence you draw it and stirre it with a spoone and couer it with a tyle and let it settle foure dayes and the Pheces will fall into the bottome and poure out softly that that is cleare into a cleanâ— cucuâ—â—it that no pheses passe with all stop the vessel wherin the pheces are and set it by But that vessell that contemetâ— the water fire and aire set it in balneo with a head and reâ—â—auer fitted and well luted and distill the water and aire in that same degree And when it will distil no more take away the receauer Let the vessel coole and you shall find in the bottomâ— your fire which keepe in his vessell well stopped and pâ—ure in your water and aire againe vppon the pheces from whence you did draw themâ— and stirre them with a spoone and let it settle foure dayes then poure it out softly from his pheces into the vessell that holdeth your fire so that no pheces bee mingled withall couer your vessell wherin your pheces remaine and set it vp But your vessell wherein your water aire and fire is set againe in Bâ—lneo as I shewed you and distill away the water and aire for they two doe alwaies passe away together and the â—ire remaineth in the bottome Poure on the water and aire againe vpon the Pheces and stirre it with a spoone then let it settle foure dayes this is nowe the third repetition whereby you haue seperated the water and aire from the pheces and that which is cleare poure out into the vessell that holdeth youâ— fire Then put your Pheces vnto the first which I bad you keepe in the which your combustible oyle is For nowe yoâ— haue drawen your fire out of your Pheces therfore distil your water with the aire and when it will distill no more take away your vessell and you shall finde in the bottome the element of fire not yet pure but foule and full of dregges poure on therefore the water and aire againe and stirâ—e it well with a spoone or ladle couer it and let it stand and settle soure dayes then poure out that which is cleare into another cleane vessell and set aside the vessell wherein your pheces are But the vessell where in your fire water and oyle are set in Balneo to distill as long as it will diâ—â—â—ll then take it out and poure the liquor distilled into the vessell where your Pheces are and dooe as 〈◊〉 taught you to worke with the pheces vntill you haue your element of fire without any feculent or grosse substance When you haue distilled away the water and aâ—re from the fire and suffered it to settle foure dayes and that all bee cleare without any Pheces then shall you haue your pure fire Therefore put all your Pheces together vnto your first pheces where your combustible oyle is Afterward take a great cucurbite of glasse and put all your three elements into it and set it in ashes with a Limbecke and a receauer fitted and luted and kindle a gentle fire first in your furnace and increase it more and more vntill the fire and aire be passed and that your Limbeck begin to waxe red within Then make the heate of your fire moderate vntill all your element of fire be passed the head red like bloud and the water and aire shal swim vpon like oyle By this meanes these three elements shall be brought to their highest essence and be perfectly rectified Take away the receauer and stoppe it diligently vntill your earth be prepared and know that in the dust and pheces there remaineth yet a combustible oile which you may extract by a discensory if you will It is good against the colde gout for members benommed and siâ—owes too much mollified If thou be weary of this labor put this pouder or pheces into a reuerberatory that they may be mingled with a gentle fire vntill it be as white as snow which being done put it into a large cucurbite of stone oâ— pour on a great quantity of water twise distilled it is not material how much water you poure on and stiâ— it well with a wodden ladle or spoone

nature they at the last fil the wound with flesh and close them vp without vsing any other remedie when as I sawe in Germanie the maruelous and almost incredible effect which came by the vse of these potioÌ„s euen in curing desperate Vlcers I thought it not meete to passe ouer the mention of them and that so much the rather because I knew the vse of them in time past was alowed but nowe through
