The first Ens of Liquors.

Take the Mineral of Sulphur, and Salt dissolved, and let them be totally reduced into a Water by themselves, the which distill four times there will ascend up a cer∣tain whiteness, in the first place, which demonstrates all the virtues of the first Ens of Sulphur, and therefore may we deservedly account of it as the first Ens of Sul∣phur, and so term it. Having thus written of the fo•• first Entities in general, 'tis to be further noted, viz. in what manner, they are to be made use of, that then vir∣tues may be perceived, the which is thus: Each of those first Entities is to be put into good Wine, in such a quan∣tity that it may be tinged therewith; which done, 'tis prepared for this regiment, or work. Or this wine must you drink every day in the morning about day-break; so long, till your nails of your fingers first fall off, and then the nails on your feet, then your hair and teeth; and then lastly, till your skin be dried up, and new bee again generated.

All this being done, you must cease from that Medi∣cament, or Potion, so will there new nails be born a∣again, new hairs, new teeth, and withall, a new skin; & the diseases both of the body and mind will depart away, as is afore-mentioned. Herewith wee'l conclude this our small book of Renovation and Restauration.
