¶Of Siluer. chap. 7.

SIluer is called Argentum, and hath that name as Isi. saith of the speach of Gréeke, for siluer is called Argiron in Gréeke: and wonderfully it fareth. For though siluer be white, yet it maketh black lines and streakes in the body that is scored therwith or ruled therewith, as Isi. saith. In composition thereof is quick siluer and white brimstone, and therfore it is not so heauy as gold, as Richardus Rufus sayeth. There be two manner of siluers, simple and compounded & the sim∣ple is fléeting, and is called, quick siluer. The siluer compounded is massie & sad, and is compounded of quicke siluer pure & cleane, & of white brimstone not burn∣ing, as Aristotle saith.
