is this: Take Cheiri, and let it be sublimed from its blackness into whiteness; this Whiteness is to be drunk with the Wine of Life: With this Drink the A∣postematical Nature, and putrefaction of the Liver is re∣moved, and all its corruption is amended, insomuch that thenceforth it doth well digest, and rightly dispence the Blood; nor doth it onely produce much, but such as is good and laudable, and not so capable of being sub∣iect to any Diseases. It doth likewise renew the old and exalete blood, and doth so amend it, as to cause even the Leprosy to vanish. The Yellow Anthos doth the same, if it be resolved by the spirit of Aqua vitae, so drunk, it heals all the faults and Diseases of the Liver.
But the Liquor of Alchahest hath also a great power and efficacy of conserving and comforting the Liver, and consequently of preserving it from the Dropsie, and all such kinds thereof as arise from the defects of the Liver: The Process whereof is this; It must be resol∣ved after its coagulation, and be again coagulated into a transmuted Form, as the Process of Coagulation and Reso∣lution teacheth; For then if when it hath overcom its like, it becomes a Medicine for the Liver, exceeding all o∣ther Medicines: And verily, should the Liver it self be broken and dissolved, yet this stands in the place of all the whole Liver, no otherwise then as if it had neverbeen broken and dissolved.
Whosoever ye be therefore that set about the work of MEDICINE, 'tis needful that ye endeavour with your utmost diligence, the learning how to prepare the Al∣••ahest, because of the turning away, or hindring of the many Diseases that arise from the Liver.
