Of the EJfential Principles of

T H.E Circiimftances rcquifite forthePro-

Timey and Place. The Conftitutive Principles
are fuch as confritute the thing.
Note. Thefe are conjideredaccordingto their
EffencCy or their Caufes.
In the firff Conffderationy they belong to this
Chapter I in the jecondy to the following Chap¬
ters. The Quiddity is fnbffantialy or acciden¬
tal • the fubffantialy is the Being before the ac¬
cidental : the accidental is a facuityy or qualityy
inhering immediately, firffy and of its felf, to the
faid fubftance.
The Confritutive Principles of Natural
things, are the Spirit and Body ; to which is
added the Lifey as a third Principle.
Note. The Hermetikj r (peak ofthe^Prlnciples
of Knowledge, Light of E^ature, and Grace ; of
which 1 ffallffeak, femewhat. Qod, the Crea¬
tor of Nature y is good in himfelfy and communi¬
cates hts goodneff at his pleafure. Jlence comes
the goodneff of ah Creatures, vifible andinvifibUy
and they are as a Ladder to Afcend to him by :
Thereforcybecaufe perfeU goodneff is in Him, ( fo
that there is no good that is not from him, other-
wife it would be imperfeB;) it is proper that the
Creatures goodneff ffould be analogical to it, and
becaufe foy the Creatures goodneff muff be analo¬
gical to its felf in all; therefore it is plain, that
the analogy of Natural things is no fmall help for
the knowledge of Nature ; to go from that moEt
known, to that which is unknown. Here is a
principle of Know ledge, called the Light of Na¬
ture, by whofe created Jplendor, by Divine in-
firuBion, called the light of Grace, it can pierce
into the fecrets of things. But becaufe Nature-,
which by Gods bleffing, was created a pureglaff,
became dark^by the Curfe, fo that we can fcarce
know any thing plainly : The Creator did, and
doth ffir up more excellent Wits, by whofe labour
Knowledge might be encreafed. JTow for the
EJfential Principles.
The Firft Principle, is the Spirjt infiruaed

with faculties to run through the courfc appoin¬
ted by Nature.
Or, a Spirit is a fubtile fubllance, fiiil made
by the Creation^ and by the blelFing of God
propagated; endowed with faculties to finhli its
courfe, according to its kind*.
Note. Spirit here:, is nothing but the-for¬
mal Principle of every things original of aUaHi’
ons. The Philofopbers call it Sulphur, which is
different from Ojl, or that imflamable jpiritual
fubjiance that is material'^ to which alfo they
give the name of Sulphur. . CHAP.
The Body is another- Principle, the fitted
fubjecf for that Spirit, with, and in which it
runs its couife; endowed with qualities by
which it may anfwer and obey the faculties of
its Spirit. , ■
Note. It Is called a material Spirit, made of
moift and dry, which are as in their firji Effence
fimple, and mofl United. Thefe are fo divided
and thtekned in their progreffion, into their fait
nature, that they may be by Art, (hewed in their
proper Exigence, of which hereafter. Therefore
the effential accidents of a liquid Body, as liqui¬
dity or moiliure, of a dry, drynef, and cold is
accident of both, a faltnef, and penetrable force,
and fermentable, &c.
Fire is the third Principle coming after the
firft two with heat,with which they are brought'
into add.
Note. The two firji Principles are united not
to be idle, but as God is a pcrfcH a^, life of life,
fo he placed all his Creatures in aSl, or life ; not
taken ftriSlly as J^egetation~^bm largely jignifying
the ail of every thing, though not feen, as that in
Stars and Metals. There are therefore in Na¬
tural F'italsj and chiefly inahe chief of themy
Spirit,Body, and Life, Which are fo clofe united
in life time that they are bard to be diftinguifhed.
This maybe dempnfirated by(ire,which reprefents
life. It holds forth Three things, i. A Jpiritu¬
al combujlible fubjiance. ti. Acorporealfub-
fiance, that [mokes and breaths. And ^dly, A

comprehended in the flame ; but an effluvium or
fmaking of the fame nature. So it is m the Fital
Fire ; there is in it a Spirit fit to receive vital
fire^ and to exert its faculties accordingly .* even
as Oyl burnt, fends forth a fent according to its
nature. If you will call them innate Spirits, I am
content. There is alfo a corporeal fubjiance, the
fubjeBofthat Jpirit is like the mck^of a Lamp.
7 here is T hirdly, afire, or vital flame,by which
they both live. This is the Effence of a living
natural thing, from which the Effluvia proceed,
which ferve external things in their kind. The
Fire IS the fame that in the Hiflory of the Crea¬

■ of the Internal Efficient Caufei
T He efficient of a natural Produefion is In^
ternal or External. The Internal, is the
very nature of the thing; that is, an in¬
clination, oi* adfive faculty,by which it is apt to
come to adfion, and alfo to adf, and by going
forward, it finillieth its courfe, according to its
kind.
Note. That Nature is like a Commonwealth
which IS governed by its Head, by help of Magi-
firates j and as the Government is adminifired,
there is profit or lofi to its felfiand its neighbours.
So Nature is the comprehenjionof allFacuities,
under the Lord of a certain Governefi, governed
by the Faculties as Officers, that from thence
there may not only be a perfeClion of the'proper
thing, but it may help its.neigh four. For Na¬
tural things being made good, ought to be com-
mumc(tit%/ein imitation of the Creator,
The Internal efficient is principal, or fubfer-
vient. ’
That Principal is that,which is a foundation
,to the reft; as for ExampleThe Vital Facul¬
ty, furniftied with enlivening hear* The fervants
are fuch as are joyned to the Principal, as the

to particular Creatures* But you will fay, accor¬
ding to Hippocrates, One is in All, and All in
One. And fo the Univerfal Nature is in all Par¬
ticulars. I Anfwer. Univerfal Nature is before
all particular Natures in the adminifiration of
the Macrocofm, and difpenfeth them as a matter

that it fhall bear no fruit, Vtut. 29.
Or it is more Particular in fingulars; hence
Particular things are apt to promote Production
in others, when there is a fimillcude and mutual
affinity between them. But this Salt Faculty
muft, by Diflblirion, be freed from its fetters
with which it is bound by mixture. As for Ex-
ample,by Putrefadlion, Incineration, &rc. And
therefore they manure the Ground with Dung
wherein is much Salt: Alfo they burn WoodSj

CHAP. IX. ■
Of the Influences of the Starsi
T H E Proprieties or Faculties more fpecial
avail much, for the Production of Na¬
tural things j to haften or retard j to fa¬
cilitate or tranfplant them ; Alfo to ftrengtheit
things, and weaken them.
In thefe. Sympathy and Antipathy excel: By
the firft, things are promoted j by the laft, re¬
tarded, Both are qy Particular,
The Univtrfal Sympathies are fuch as by
which the Macrocofm refpeCts Particulars ; that
is, promDtes Production, hinders it, or chang-
eth It.
The Particulars do help things that Sympa¬
thize with them, and weaken them that have
Antipathies. v
The Macrocofmieal Proprieties are placed in
the whole World, and confequcntly in the in-
feriour Globe ; for which caufe,we fee one Soyl
more fit for fome Plants, another for others. But
here we fhall fpeak of what is received from the
fuperior Globe and the Stars, which are by a
peculiar name called Influences,
The Influences of the Stars are goings forth,
endowed with peculiar Faculties, by which
things familiar to them ( if the Stats be ftrong
and in vigor) are ftrerigthned, and promoted \
on the contrary, they w'eaken,deprive, and hin¬
der things contrary to them.
]>[otQyAccordingto Plato and Vzrzcdiws.yhere

celf. 1. 3. Philofoph, tr. 4. But being it is ini-
pcjflble to know the Stars of all kjndsy many take
another courfe, and make certain ranks, in ihs-
mitatioH of the Elders, to which they refer all
Sublunariesy as to their Fountains. They dijpofe
thefe Clajfes, or Ranks^ according to the Planets,
chiefly according to the Signs of the Zodiack.
But in my Opinion they had done better, if they
had fet particular Stars over every Faculty, and
fo according to the variety of Faculties, they had
counted the varieties of the Stars more tlniver^
fal or Particular, &c. And by this way,Jingu-
lar Stars had not been given to flngular things *
but to one and the fame thing, as it is endowed
with Faculties, had divers Stars been allotted.

Things are familiar with the Stars primaril/,
as fuch, as are immediately; under thofe Stars.
Secondarily,'they are familiar with them,which
refpe6i: the Stars by friendly Stars,pr Planets,or 1 rhat Spirits. Or, the Moon is the generatory of
Si^ns, and their afteifions; As under the Moon * Moifture, by which the World is dewed, and
IS p.rimanly’ a Lunary herb 5 Secondaiily jDod-
der, which belongs to Saturn:; Beans, which
belongs to Venus"; Mallows, which belong^to
Mercury. In like manner, a thing fubjedb' to
Taurus or Cancer, is fecondarily fubje6t to the
Moon ; for Saturn, Venus, and Mercury, are;
friends to the Moon: Taurus is its Exaltation ;
Cancer its-Houfe : Things that do contrary to
the Stars are fuch as are under Planets, that are,
enemies, or diOenting Signs.
The Influences are either of Planets, or fixed fiure, vohich fiourifheth in the Blood, The Sea
Star^; of which in order.
Of the Influence of Planets,
The SUN, ' .
The Sun is a generous benevolent Planet,
moderately hot and dry, a friend of Jupiter
and U'enm,zn enemy to the reft; the Heart of
the Macrocofm, and therefore the generatory of
the Vital Spirits of the Macrocofm, that is, of
hot Beams which nouriflr the Univerfe, and the
Fountain of peculiar Effluxes, by which it pe¬
culiarly helps that which is familiar to it, and
hinders that which is contrary.
Note. The Scripture calls the JHfitsence of
the Sun, Mechebutho Schentejhi the fat or di~
^tlhn^ deiv of the Sun, Deut- ^ 3 .v. 14.
Solary things,
1. Of tJMlnerals. Are Gold, Solary earth,

Three things are contrary to the Sun : Luna¬
ry, Saturnine, and Martial, &c.
B o o k I.
The MOON.
The Moon is a Planet between good and evil,
moderately cold and moift, a friend to Lead,
Tinn, Antimony, and Quickfilver, an enemy
to the other two; agreeing with the Brain, and
fo fympathizing with Nervous parts, and Ani-
the fountain of peculiar Influences, by which
peculiarly and chiefly it affedls things familiar to
it; fecondarily things familiar to, Ja~
plter, Ventu:, and Mercury, with whom the
Moon hath fnendiliip.
Note. The Ancients Opinion of the Moon
may be doubted ; for fhe rather reprefents the
Liver of the Macrocofm, than the Brain ; for
by moijiure fhe rules the Macrocofm, as the Li¬
ver doth the Microcofm, being overdt Inmoi-
frvells, flows, and ebbs with the Moon. Blood, or
the fea of the Tittle world, doth the like ; witnejs
Womens monthly terms* Llkewife in particular
Creatures, a crude humidity encreafeth with the
Moon, and decreafeth. Pliny affirms the fame
of mans blood, Alfo Dlfeafes in the blood, move
with the Moon, and afford their crijis, or judge¬
ments, Moreover, the fubfiance of the Moon be¬
ing nearer the Earth and Its Nature, and there^
fore thicker, is more like to the Liver of a thin¬
ner fubfiance. They fay the Liver of Liz,ards
encreafeth with the Moon, and decreafeth. Nor
is the ObjcFllon of the tncreafe and decreafe of the
Marrow in the Bones available, being agreeable
to the tncreafe and decreafe of the (IMoon, for
that is rather from molfiure of blood, than the
Animal Spirits, and fo we hold of a Lunary Epi-
lepfy.

I only quoted them from Authors, not knomng
the ground of them: For the Signs they give
from Tafie,.Colour, Sent, Motion, following.
Figure, &c. are eu doubtful tu the refl. TTgr is
it manifefl why fuch Signs (hould undoubtedly
argue fuch a familiarity. But being it is with¬
out doubt, that there is Friendfhif or Enmity be-
tween certain Calefiial and Sublunary things. I
have fhewed the Opinion and Entrance the An¬
cients have made, that thou mayfi imitate and
^JX:
follow them if thou canfi, for the gifts of God are

T Here are alfo Proprieties founded in Par-
ticulm things, by which the Produdlion
of another, ( if they agree ) is helped j
(if not) is hindered. As Polypody grows bet¬
ter upon an Oak, and Dodder on Flax, Sanicle
hear the Oak, a Vine near the Olive, Oro-
banche among Fetches, which fhe choaks. On

of the Matter of Naturalr.
T H E Matter from whence Natural things
are, is Seed, or Jfjurijhment ^ or fome-
what like them.
Note. In Native things, the Mater firjl de¬
notes a material part,or corporeal, as it is oppo/ite
to a Spiritual or Formal; and it is made ef moiji
and dry, See Chap. 5. For the fubjeUs of the Spi¬
ritual part. In the tJMacrocofme, or great
World, It is the corporeal fubftance under the
univerfal Spirit of the World, thicker in the
Earth, thinner in the Water, thinnejl in. the
Stars. tB Vegetables Animals, there
is a corporeal fubjiance, fubfeU to their Spirits
and Animals, and It is thicker in thefe parts,
in Wood, Bones, and the like ; thinner in others,
as the Marrow, Brain, &c. as it pleafed ^od.
It is alfo fo in Secondary things, where it hath
aimoji a homogenealfubftance. Secondly, It de¬
notes a praexiftlng fubjell, from which the na¬
tive thing immediately is •, in which fenfe
Ari^otle deferibes Matter, to be a fubjell from

Note. That the moderation or government of

of great heat, Accute tafte is wheh heat is at

Acid is more moift than cold j as when too
much moifture is mixed with that which is Aps-

much, and there is an earthy drynefe. Auftere
is when the (owcr or acerbe is fomewhat remit*.
ted, andHt is more cold than moift. Sweet is
from temperate heat and moifture. Salt is when
heat prevails 3 therefore it heats, corrodes, and
cleanfeth. Vnldiow tafte, or Fat, is lefs hot
than the Sweet, and feems to partake of Air.
Infipide or Watery^ is of a cold and moift
temper. Baft, Port, in Phjtogn,

contrariety: For cold makes molit, white; and
dry, blac^: a»d heat makes moifi, black, 5 and
white, dryi Alfo feme colours tend to white,

tends to white, if it be by nature in the kinds of

the manner of receiving it ealily^ or hardly ;

whiter unripe, tafte fowre and fharp, and are
therefore cold.
From the Native Place ; as Plants from
Lakes are moft cold and moift, and fo are Crea¬
tures tha't live in fweet Water. Fen Plants are
commonly cold, and fomewbat dry ( from the
Watfery and Earthy Eflence.) River Plants are
dry, and very hot 3 f® that fome ulcerate the
Tongue. Sea Plants are cold and dry, (cold
from the Water, dry from the Salt. Plants
growing in fat fojl are hot and moift 3 or tem¬
perately moift and dry. In a Barren ground the
Plant is hot and dry. . That in moderaWFarth
is warm,and moft familiar to our nature. Plants
from Sandy ground are hot and dry, and of thin
parts. Plants that grow in any place, are of a
mixt temper 3 And fo arc Animals, and com¬
monly more moift and full of excrements. Plants
that grow in Earth and fVater alfo, in Afper-
ginou3 places, are cold and dry. Shoar Plants
are fait, therefore hot arid dry. Mountain
Plants, by reafon of the barrennefs of the foyl,
arc dry and by reafon of the Sun opens on
them, hot, and they are alfo of thin' parts.
Champion Plants are moderately hot and dry.
Such as grow in Caves are cold and moift,^
(from the abfence of the Sun and the foot of the
foyl.) Hill Plants are temperate. Wood Plants
are dryer and colder than Garden Plants (if of
the fame kind.) The Garden Plants are milder
and weaker.

where Herbs grow, are open to the Wind, and

Rules y and they are;
I. Plant sfVhzt reprefent fome parts of Man,
thofe are wholefome (except there bea venemous
quality.) So for the Head, things that have
Heads arc good ; Wallnuts, Indian-Nuts, &c.
So of Animals and their parts ; Spleen is good
for the Spleen. The Liver for the Liver, &c.
2. Plants which in their Colour, &c. repre¬
fent the Humour in a Man, agree with the fame;
by increafing it, if turned to Nourifhment, by
Purging and Corrcdling, if taken for Phyfick:
as fhings breed Choller, that in Food turn to a
yellow Colour; as Saftbon, Beets,Figs,Honey,
&c. feeciSr.^S,

3. They that feem to Reprefent a Difeafej or
Difeafed Habit, do Cure the fame: So in the
Stone, fuch as are like Stones ; as Gromwel-
feed. Egg -ftiells. So fpotted Herbs and Ani¬
mals, takeoff Spots. Scaly things. Scurf. So
Perforated Herbs Cure Wounds. And fuch
Plants as have Gums and Rofins, are good a-
gainft Matter. Plants and Animals that fwell,
are good againft Tumours. Such as are deft,
are good to Glutinate Wounds. Such as eafily
caft their Bark or Skin, to change the Skin of
Man. See Joh. Bapufta Porta Phytogn. /.

Adlions and Difpofitions, fo they Work on
Man. ' V

So Barren things make men Barren : as Let- ,
tice. Fern, Ofiers, Savin, &c. And Barren A-
nimals, as the Mule, &c. So Fruitful things
and falacious, provoke Venery and Fruitful-
nefs; as the Sparrow, Scynkes, 8cx. Plants
and Animals that bring forth many, arc good
for Conception. Long-lived ^ and ever-green ,
Plants, breed Vigor in a Man. Herbs and A-
nimals that devour, make Concodlion ; as the
Pike, and Hoppes. Animals ingenious and
teachable, are good for Wit and Memory. And ,
fo on the contrary ; Sad Creatures, make Sad-
nefs ; Sleepy, make Drowfinefs. Watchful Vi-
gilancy. Fiery Creatures, Fiercenefs. An¬

* . 1
I N the firfl: Book, we gave divers lignificati-
ons of Balfams 3 Three of them are moft
noted in Shops, as Sweet Balfams, Deftilled
Balfams, and Oyntment Balfams. Of the two
firft we iliall (peak here, of the laft here¬
after.
Sweet Balfams are Medicines as thick as
Oyntments, femetimes harder, fo made that
the fweet Oyls may be kept in, and not ex¬
hale.
The Bodies with which thefe Oyls are incor¬
porated, are, i. White Wax refined. 2. Oyl
of Nutmegs by Exprelfion, depurated or not
depurated. 5. The Marrow of a Calf wafhed.
4. Manna depurated.
Note. The Coelefilal M.anna which Querce-
tan commends in cap. 20. of his Reflored Phar¬
macy ^ is called by fame, Refined Sugary but
Quercetan means only Refined Wax, In his Te-
75
tra(y he [ayes PhilofophicalV’ine^ar is made of
that acid Liquor of Coelefilal Manna* The fame
may be underftoed of tioneyy which is fo like
Wax* fee cap.^7.
Depuration of Wax and Oyl of Nutmegs
is by Spirit of Wine tartarized, by which
the colour and feent is extracted, and the Body
left white.

three dayeSy then abfiraB the humidity in Bal-
neo Marise, and ufe the Body to make up Bal¬
fams.
The Common way is. Take the Body re-
quifitc^ add Oyl till it is like a Liniment ; this
they tincture with a fit colour.
A better way is, \ Take Oyl of Nutmeg
cicanfed 5 add the Extradf of the thing you will
make into a Balfam, and add other Oyls.

Extract is almofi triplcy namely of Oyl \ of the

\Of Calx, or Things Caicined^
/ - J
I N the firft Book, we faid. Calcination was
. done, fix w ayes; two of which require no¬
thing but fire : the others, fomething elfe (they
call it potential fire) by which Calcination is
performed ; in Book 3. we fiiallfee ddwn the
calcination of Minerals.
Vegetables, as Herbs, Roots, Woods, Barks,
and other cumbuftibles, are burnt in a ftrong
firetoAfhes. , /
Note. So you may barn the dead head, or
facesy after ftidingj apon hot Irons^ or in a
Cracible.
Animales^i and the [oft parts of them, are
commonly burnt in luted Crucibles till they are
bla,ck. So Birds are burnt with their Feathers,
a Hare with her skin, &c.
HornS) are three wayes calcined, by Burn¬
call Precipitation.
They are calcined by burning, till they turn
white, after black; this is done in a Potters
Furnace ; and thefe are called. Burnt-horns.
This is the way of Vaporous Calcination ;
Put the Horns in the Upper-part or head of the
Still, which is almoft filled with Water ; then
by the heat, may pierce the Horns by degrees,
and make them brittle, and white.
Note. This is three dayes work,y and is cal¬
led, Philofophical Calcination.
Your Liquor may be fair Water, or deftil-
led according to the Difeafe, or juyee, orDe-
codtion ; and you mull Hill pour in frelli Lw
quor, that all fly not away.
Corrofive Calcination, is by pouring on of
fliarp Liquors, as Vinegar, Spirits, Sal Nitre,
Vitriol, by which the Horns or Bones grofldy
poudered or rafped, may be diflblved and coik
roded; and then precipitated imo a Calx, cal¬
led a Magillery : fee c. by.
Note. Crafty Shells are thw calcined.
As the manner of Calcination is divers, fo
the things calcined have divers Names, as Calx,
Allies, Crocus, Salt.
' So there is.
’ ’ Calx Gold : fee ^.3.

Of Magiflerks,
W E fliewed that the word Magi fiery hath
divers fignifications, b* i. but it is
commonly taken for a Pouder, ufually white,
by precipitation of divers things, as Minerals,
and Stones, and Earth 5 and of Vegetables, as ^
Herbs 5 and of Animals, as Bones, Horns,
Shells.
The way to make them* '
Take the matter of which you will make a
Magiftery, beat it groflely or cut it • then add
convenient Liquor ( fliarp or fuch a« will dif-
folve it, or cxtrabHt ) 'then precipitate (with a
Liquor poured on, or other matter, by whofe
force the ftrength of the diflblver may be ob-
tunded) then walh the precipitated powder
with Water, and dry it gently.
Thus are made tMagtfieries*
1. Of Minerals,
It is firft Pondered, then add and diflblve it
f.a. precipitate the Solution, walL and dry it.
Note I. The common dljfolvtng Liquor is
defliBed Finegar alone, or (harpned with Spirit
of Salt Peter, or Spirit of Fitriof common Salt;
or you may defiil a peculiar Liquor to difolve;
of which hereafter.
Note 2* Precipitation is commonly done with
Oyl of Tartar by Deliquium, fometimes by Spi¬

pitated will be gray 5 by the latter, white^

You may make an Oyl by
112, Qhymical Difpenfatorj,
Simple, Mineral, Vegetable, or Animal.
The Minerals that afford Oyl, are Sulphur¬
ous, chiefly as Amber, Rock or Pit Coal j and
^ they are deftilled as Roflns and Gums.
i^egetables, of which chiefly Oyls are de-
ftilled, are Herbs, Flowers, Fruits^ Seeds,
Foots, mods'. Barks', Spices, The Seconda¬
ry are, Oyls, Rojins, Qtims, The way to
deftil Oyl from the flrlf, is as you draw Spirits
by' a Vejica.
Note I. That the Oyl willafeend better, firji
;
if you add common Salt or Tartar fecgndly, tf
you digeji or ferment before, for helping of which
add Beer Lees, or Salt of Tartar • thirdly, if
you chiefly dejire an Oyl, make a great fire at the
firfb. '''
/.
‘From Herbs. Take green Herbs or dry,
q. V. llamp and add Water, and an handful or
two of Salt j let it putrefie, then deftil by a
Hefica.
Note. That dry Herbs afford more Oyl than
green.
II. From Flowers, chiefly dry, you make
Oyls the fame way, if you ftamp them, and
infufe them fourteen dayes with Salt or Sugar
I in Water ; Thus you make Oyl of Chamo-
^i!, I.avender, RofeSi
Il f. Of Seeds. Take Seeds, as of Fennel,
ftamp them grofs tfei. pour on hot Water, and
add an handful of Salt, or ^ii. of Tartar, di^
geft them eight or nine dayes, then deftil by a
Hefica with a gentle fire. , Turpentine cohob at ed oft^n with calcined Salt
IK From Fruits, as of Juniper-berries, or
Bay-berrip?^ ynu muft Jraw at tiic tame way.
Note. Ton may provoke Fermentation with
a few Beer-lees.
K From Roots. Take and beat them, and
digeft them in Water, and deftil them;
Note I. The dry are belt, fuch as were ga¬
thered before they budded forth.
Note 2. If you will have more Oyl, mix the
remainder with the defiilled fVater, andfieep and
defill it again.
Kl. Of Barks, not too hard, it is made as
of Roots, as of Citron-peels and Oranges.
Note. The peels not dry, are the befi.
KlI. From Woods, and Miffeltoes, Take
Chips dry, fill ah Earthen Retort therewith,
lute it, and deftil it into a large Receiver, ad¬
ding fire by degrees; firft,thcre will come forth
a clear Liquor ^ continue this fire,and after four
dr five hours there w ill be a cloudy Liquor f
then increafe the fire, and let the bottom of the
Retort be red hot, and then will afeend a black
ftinking Oyl, feparate it from the Liquor, and
redfifie it. Thus you make Oyl of Guiacum,
A^allochum, Box, Ha2.el, Ebony, Juniper,
Book II.
Sanders, Snake-weed, and Miffeltoes.
Note I. They may be made by defeent, but
we ufe not that way, for the Oyl will be thicker.
Note 2. Be wary, make not too much hafie,
for fir ong Spirits will cafi off the Receiver.
Note Tou may thus draw Oyls from Ro..
finy-ExtraUt of Woods, defiilled like other Ro-
fins. Kefl. cent. 8d.
Note 4. There are Woods, but few, that af.
ford Oyl that is very jubtlle and volatile by a
Ktfica with Water, but fiowly, as Sajjaphras,
Rhodium, Cyprefi you take the Chips,or Saw-
duft, and fieep them in Water, then defiil then^ ;
continue defiiUingfome dayes, and at Ufi the Oyl
will come forth.
Oyls are reidified by a Cucurbita,or Vefica,
deftilling them with much Water 5 and fome-
times, if they arc heavy, you muft mix Sand,
and reddifie them with a Retort.
Hill. From Spices. Take Spices grofle
Poudered ( for Pouders yeeld lefs Oyl) fteep
them in a fit Menftruum, four, five,or fix dayes;
deftil in a ^tfica, and there will be Oyl and
Water.
Note I. Tou may add Salt, or Salt Peter, or
Tartar.
Note ^ Some add Almonds to draw out fucb
Oyls, that they may have a greater quantity, but
it u deceit, for it will be mofi part Oyl of
monds.
Note 3. Others digeft the Species in Spirit of
;
but get not a pure Oyl neither.
Note 4. The Oyl is feparated from the Wa¬
ter, I. By fettling it fourteen dayes in a Cellar
after it is deftilled, and the Oyl will be at the
bottom. 2. Filtration by a Paper. 3. By
WooU; yir^b. c. 14.
/V. From Rofins. TakeRofin Ibii. or Ifeiij.
add Water, and deftil ; firft there will be a
clear Oyl at the top of the Water, this is cal¬
led a Spirit.
Then it will be yellow by degrees ; then
change the Receiver, and take the yellow Oyl
alone, and deftil till there appears no more
Oyl.
Then take the matter out of the Still, which
is called Colophony, and deftil it in a Retort
in the fame, and there will come forth a red
Oyl, thick, called Balfam.
Note. Thefe Oyls and Balfam may be deftilled
at once by a Retort, the fire being raifed by de¬
;
grees but it is befi to draw oat the firfi hy a
;
Kfica, to prevent burning too,and lofi of labour
hut if you will deftil them together by a Retort,
you may prevent heat, or burning too, by mixing
Sand with the Rofins melted.
The
.»
Chap.71. <2-^ .(^hjrhical Difpmfatory.
The ufual Rofins, are of Malfich-trce, Cy -
prefs. Turpentine of LarLx, Deal, or Pine, or
common Turpentine.
X. From Gummy-Rojlns. Take Gummy-
RofinS toi. put them in a Glafs Retort, with a
large belly, to fill up only the Third part, de-
Ifii It by Sand into a Receiver, filled partly with
Water, i^-flwith a gentle fire, and there will
an Oyl come forth j then augment the fii'C, and
you liiali have a Balfam.
Note. To prevent bftrmfjg^toO) tntx a little
Sand : fame add Fltnts^ or Salt in Ponder that
ugrojfgyto help the Oylto afeend.
Note 2. Ihis Ojl may be reClt^ed by deciding
voith fVater upon AjheSt or putting Brickbats
red hot into it^ and dejltlling as yon do the Ojl of
Bricky.
Thus you make Oyl of Gum Anima, Elemi,
Tacamahac. ♦ Zedoary, Zopifla.
XI. Of Gftms^ you may make Oyls as of
Rofins j for the pure Oyl is taken out with the
Water in a Vefica, and the grofl'er and more
heavy by a Retort 5 if you will draw forth
both, by a Retort, deftil at firft with a gentle
heat, and take off the thin Oyl by it felf, then
draw the thicker Oyl by a ftrbnger fire ; but it
is better by a Vefica, as I faid of Rofins.
Note. Thefe Oyls are better drawn from Ex-^
trails like %^ns-^ as I (hewed in Rofins• ■
From Animalsj thefe afford Oyls, Horns,
Brains, Bones, Hoofs, Greafe, Bloud, Dung :
fee Waters.. .
Horns^ Bones-, Hoofsi They yield Oyls by
the fire, by a. Retort luted, and a Liquor or
fharp Spirit mixed with Flegm, and volatile
Salt; reflifietheOyl.
Alarrow yBrams^and Piths of the Back^bones,
yield Oyl deffiH’d in a Glafs Retort, with Salt
. in Sand. ;
Fats^ Sewety (fireafcy and Buttery and Waxy
are delfilled with other things, in a Glafs Re¬
tort, byAlTaes, or Sand, or with Pouder of
Bricks, or calcined Flints, or Sand, or Allies,
to make the Oyl afeend better.
^Note. The confifience of the Fat to be defiilledy
will (hew the (pudntity of the thing to be added •
tt is fofter in fome, harder in others ; but com¬
monly we take the third or fourth party or equal
parts. ' Olives.
deftilled by an Earthen Cucurbita,
high and largCy till there remains a black Earth,
light and fpungy, the deftilled Liquoj: muff be
filtered by Paper, and the Liquorwill pafstho-
row, and a ffinking Oyl remain; but in a fmall
quantity, this Liquor affords a Spirit,and a vo¬
latile Sait, that cleaves to the Stills.
Note. It is befi to taky hot Bloudy and digefl

' Of Trepured Salts,
T Here are in Shops both Natural and Arti¬
ficial Salts j of Natives hereafter, of Ar¬
tificial thus 5
They are Simple, Compound, or Mix’d.
The Simple ( properly fo called ) are as
many as there are Natural things, for every
thing hath fome Salt, and the ConlHtution of
S-
—
Natural
—
130 Qh^mical ‘Difpenfatory,
Natural things chiefly depends on Salt. The
Medium by which Salts are made, is any wa¬
tery Liquor, in which as Salts difi'olve, fo they
mix with it. But becaufe moft Natural things
are compa6l:, and require preparation, by which
the fetters (by wch the Salt is hindred from be¬
ing brought forth) are untyed. There are divers
Preparations, according to divers Compactions.
The mofl; ufual is Incineration,by which the
mixed parts are feparated, and the Salt fixed in
the Allies, is apt to melt in Water, and make a
, brine, chiefly there be often maceration,
and ftraining.
»
As for Example.
Take the Afhes of Worm-wood, purged
from the coals, boyl it with Water to a Lixi¬
vium, or flrain Water through it very hot,
fo there will be a Lixivium, filter this off, and
infpiflate it with gentle Evaporation, or Cry-
■ftalization.
Note I. That Salts thus calcined^ htcaufe
they ta[ie of the Lixivium^ and are not white
enough) are to be calcined^ or burnt, and melted
at the fire to mcike them white ; but the be ft way
to whiten them ii by often folutiouj filtration)
and in(pijfation ; with this Caution^ That tbefs
are to he given in a greater Dofe. As to the
tafie of the Lixivium, you may take that away,
if you mix the Afhes with as much Sulphuryand
fire the Sulphur to calcine them j then make a
Lixivium. , ^ ^
Note 2. Thefe SAtsyUld a mofi piercing Spi~
rit) if you defiil them as common Salt.
Volatile Salts, which fome call Efl’ential,feem
to be nothing but a portion of Salt fomewhat
elaborated,mixing with the nourilhing humour,
and infinuated into the thick fubflance.
The way to make Salts of Plants.
Boyl any Plant in a great quantity of Wa¬
ter, then flrain out the juyee, and when it is
well purified, infpiflate it a little, and fet it to
be cryflallized according to Art.
Note. Jf you pour the injpijfate juyee upon
frejh Herbs, and digefb, concofi, and flrain as
before, you will have more Salt,
Woods, Bones, Horns, Blood, yield volatile
Salts, but not without defiiUation, by which they

Of SPIRITS.
A s Spirits are divers, in relpeiL of theif
volatility and fixation ; fo they are of
divers colours, and are deftilled with divers
Inftruments; The more fixed with a Retort,
and ftronger fire, with Sand or without; The
more volatile with an Alembick.and gentle fire,
namely. Balnea V'aporisy or Balneo eJMarUy or
with Afhes},
Spirits may be made of Minerals) Vege^

\ ' ■
Mineral Spirits are made every one diverfe-
ly j fee in th'eir places.
Note. iVe fhewedh.i. ch.20* how Mineral
Spirits may be dejiilled without Stillatory vejfels.
Glauber hath written a Treatise of the fame^
calledy Philofophical Fournaces*
tget able Spirits of the more Volatile Nature,
are taken from Leaves, Flowers, Fruits, Seeds,
and Spices: Of the more fixed Nature, are
from Woods, Barks, Mifleltoes.
The way to Extradl volatile Spirits, differs
not from the deftiUation of Waters 5 for this is
the only difference between them and Spirits,
the Waters have much, and the Spirits little

parated from Waters deftilled.

They are made of Uerbs^ and

lage j then ftrain out the juyee, clarifie it with ,
the White of an Egg, and infpiflate it gently
to the confiftence of Koncy. Thus are made

can do as much ; fo that if one Brother or

other will be infeded though he be far off. Why

Of Earths,
WE begin with the Earth, not as it is a
fimple Element, and only to be com¬
prehended by imagination, but as it is filled
with Macrofmical-feed ', for it is rightly faid by
fufed ; for by the vertue of this the Earth,
otherwife dead, isquickned, and being barren,
is made fruitful, is made Vegetative, and turns
into a divers Nature, of Minerals, Vegetables,
and Animals. Of Minerals, are fuch as yet
keep the form of Earth, but yet differ from the
common Earth, and are Phyfical Earths. Thefe
have divers Names according to their Matrix,
I. So firft in refpedf of the Native foyl,Earth
is called Earth of Lemnos, Turkey, Armenia,

TheVertues. Earth is generally coU, made
of the Elements by a FoHT’-fold Combination ,
firfl of that by which the Earth comes to the fFa~
ter by coidnej^; the Water by moiflure to the
Air ; the Air by heat to the Fire • and the Fire
by drynef to the Earth.
But though thefe may be faid of the Earth,as
It Js a Ample Element 5 that is,asit goes with o-
rher Elements into the generation of Elements j
but as Earth is to us, it is not fuch, as Hip~
focrates Book^of Principles, faith, there is much
heat (that is of the Spirit fpoken of before) in
the Earth, by which it is made fruitful; for
fruitfulnefs comes only from a Spiritual Prin¬
ciple, and that hot; though in that heat there
IS great diverfity and htitude. As to the other
qualities, Earth is of an aftringent Nature, that
refifts putrefadion.
^reparations^
•%
The Preparations of Earths, to be made in¬
to Medicines, are
1. Purification, orWafhing5 as walhed
Earth.
2. The Preparation of Shops,
3. Precipitation, hence is a Magiftral. I of Wine, digeft and deftil.
4. Deftillation, hence a Spirit.
I. Of Wajhiftg,
Becaufe Earths are commonly filthy and full
of ftones, they are diflblvcd in Water, and fo
the ftones & muddy matter goes to the bottom,
being heavier than the good ; then they decant
the Water, and by exhaling dry it: but this
Way cannot be without great lofs of ftrength
for the fubtile part (with which the fearth for
the moft part is furnifhed) departs by that fo-
lution : Alfo the Volatile part of Earth ( for
Earth is full of that) vanifheth by Exhalation.
Therefore in Preparations it is better to ufe
Earth not fo wafhed.
Note. We deny not imbibing or impregnation,
by which the Earth is often molfiened with a
Medicinal Liquor, and then dryed, and fo re~
ceives more flrength.
2, preparation.
It is as the general way, ch,y6^ The Earth is
powdered, and fprinkled with proper Water
1
(as of Tormentil) and brought to a Pulp and
dryed alone.
3. Prtcipitationi
whence
Magifltries are madel
Earth is diffolved in fome acid Spirit, as
Spirit of Salt, &e. the folution is decanted and
precipitated with Oyl of Tartar bydeliquium^

month, - then deftil it again, fo the Liquor will
carry the Salt with it, and you will have a
fubtile Balfam.

a Water will come forth, then a Spirit; tiien

3. There is in Shops alfo a German Sealed
Earth, the one called yellow, ffomj
Strlga a Town of Silejia, where it was firft
made and fealed : It is alfo called the Marrow,'
or Auxungia of Gold, becaufc it is impreg¬
nated with the Sulphur of Gold. The other
is called Lignicenjis, White, Red, or Afli-
coloured ; this they call the Auxungia of
Silver, becaufe the Sulphur of Silver is in
it ; or the Mineral Unicom, becaufe it is of
equal ftrength with Unicorns-horn.
Note. Likewife, there are Earths found in
other Mines; fe in Wetteravia, not far from
Labac, there is an Earth like the Auxungia of
Cold.

derns, is that of Lemnos, Red or that of Con-

Preparations.
The Operations or Preparations by which
Stones are made Medicinal, are chiefly thefe j
1. Pouderiiig, fpecially called Preparation.
2. Calcination, to which are added.
Solution, Coagulation, and Purification
or Edulcoration.
4. Liquation or Deliquium. ^
y. Deftillation or Volatilization.And fome-
times,
6. Syrupization.
Note. Anfelm Boetius wrote afamom Trea^
tlfe of Stones, PbyfuUn to Rudolphus 2d.
and him I chiefly follow. Alfo Cunradus in his
Deflil. part i. tra61:.2C. wrote a whole Treatife
{ of Precious Stones^yunA others^ And theiT Pre<.
parations and Pacuities.
1. P(tlverlz,ation) or Preparation.
Stones are bcfl: Pondered, firft by griilding,
and then by lacvigation, andiprinlding conve¬ again, fo often,
nient Water^vhilc you Ixvigate, and bringing
it into a Pulp, and drying it in the Sun,
ll. Calcination.
'Cli 'i.
Calcination for Stones, - is the Servant or
PrincipaU. the fervant, or inferiour Calcinm-
on, is that by which ftones are difpofed or fit-
* ted to receive the principal Calcination. The
principal is that by which^ ftones come to be
Medicinal, and it is calkd-rather a Solution 5
and hath Coagulation, and Edulcoration, an-
ncxccj*
Calcination, by which Stones are difpofed
for Solution', is done by’fixe, fimple or reftindd,
or by Corrofion, and that with common Salt,
or Sulphur, &c. .
Simple Ignition, is when a Stone is burnt in
the bare fire, or in a Crucible, or Reverbera¬
tory, till it may be made a Calx, as you burn
Litnc. ^ .
A Rtftlnift Ignition, is when a Fire-ftone
i
Book III.
is quenched in Water often, till it be brought
to a Cak.
Note. There is another way of Calcination,
they are pondered and mixed with twice as much
ponder of Charkfoal (that of Beech is beib) and
are burnt in a Crucible in a Potters Pomace
twenty four dayes,
Corrofion, isfirfi with Sal Nitre j the Scoiie^
is groflely beaten, and mixed with as much Sal
Nitre, and put into a ftrong fire, fo that the
Sal Nitre may melt and be burnt.
Note. It is alfo done thus ‘ Pirfi melt the
Nitre, then cafi on by degrees the Stone in pou-‘
der to be calcined. ' ;
2. Corrofion with Sulphur i the Stone is j
burnt with a double or treble quantity of Sul¬
phur three or four times, or more, in an open
Crucible till the Sulphur exhale.
Note. It is befi to ufe Sulphur vivt, or flower
of Brimflone. i;

If you intend thereby to make Stones dijfolve,
it is no matter whether you attain your end ‘by
one or .more wayes of ^Calcination. Sanpe uf t one

III. Solution, ;

Solution of Precious and Vulgar Stones, is
made by divers Menftruums, whereinto the cal¬
cined Stones are caft, and fet in a hot place,and
fo often i have the Menftruum, repeated^ tiU no
more will be diftblved.
See in the Solution of Corals for fit Men¬
ftruums i deftillcd Vinegar is the chief: Spi¬
rit of Vitriol, Sal Nitre, Oyl of Sulphur by
a Bell, Oyl of Turpentine.
Coagulation.
Stones difiblved, are coagulated by the ab-
ftraiftion'of theMer^ruum, or precipitation of
the Solution; the Menftruum is abftra^ed by
Evaporation, or Deftillation ^ Precipitation is
by inft illation of common Salt diffolved,or Oyl
of Tartar by Deliquium j Edulcoration is done

PREPARATIONS.
Purgation. .
Gold is purged either from the filth without^
or from the imperfedt Metals mij^d there¬
with.
It is fulficient for the outward Purgation, to
wafli with Water and Salt, or with afmallA-
qua Fords.,
The Purgation from imperfeB Metalsy is^
I. By Immer/ive Calcination.
I
'Piflblve Gold in Aqua Regia, which only
will do it, and not meddle with the other Men¬
tals ; then call off the Solution and Precipitate
it, then the Calx melted will be pure Gold.
2. By meltingy frft with Antimony.
Make a Regulus of Gold, as you do in An¬
timony 4 put it into a Crucible, place it in a
Fornaceina circular fire; ufe Bellows, till all
the Antimony be blowed off, and nothing re¬
main but pure Gold. So you may purge Gold
from all other Metals.
3. fFitb Lead.
It is done, as we fhall fhew in the following
Chapter of the purging of Silver.
2. ‘Hy Cementatiom

Of Sal Gem^ and Sal Indi^
S Al Gem. is a kind of common Salt that is
found in Stoney Quarries, and is drawn
out bright like Cryftal, and is called Gem, be-
caufe of its colour.
The Vertues. It hath the fame with common
Salt, bttt[eldom fifed in Phyfick., often in Chy-
miflry, better than the other to diffolve Metals ;
Forreftus commends it by Experience for foftning
the BeUy; and it is good inwardly and outwardly
for the Cholickc b. 21. y.

Of Sal lyitre, or Salt Petet.
CAI Nitre is a Sulphurous Salt,or a bitter Salt
^ from a fat Earth.
Note. Though bejides the Nitre of the An¬
cients which we know not, it is threefold, name¬
ly, I. what is ExtraUed out of the Earth;
2. That which cleaves to Stone Walls; And
y,dly. That which grows to "Rocks. Tet in Shops
there is but one ufed, which is the firjl, and is
fxcoHed from Defart fat Earths, whether that
fatnefs be fent from the Archam of the Earth,
or brought from without by "Urine and Excre¬
ments of Animals, as Pigeons.
The Chymifts call it Cerberus Chymical,
infernal Salt, Salt of Sulphur, Hermes, Bau-
rach, Algali, Sal Anderonae^ Anacron, Ca-
balatar, &c. Bajil calls it the Earthy Serpent,
Englifh Salt-Peter.
Chufe the Cryftal Nitre pure ; it is the purer ^
for having little common Salt in it; try it by
burning. . I
Namely^
Lay Sal Nitre upon a fire-coal, if all fly a-
way it is pure ; and on the contrary, if any
remain, that partakes of common Salt.
The Vertues. It is much dijputed what the

Spirit of Sal Armoniack^ with Urine,
There is a double Spirit in Sal Armoniack;
the Spirit of Urine, and of common Salt; the

this Spirit he given inwardly-, the Threat will be
