A choice collection of rare secrets and experiments in philosophy as also rare and unheard-of medicines, menstruums and alkahests : with the true secret of volatilizing the fixt salt of tartar / collected and experimented by the honourable and truly learned Sir Kenelm Digby, Kt., Chancellour to Her Majesty the Queen-Mother ; hitherto kept secret since his decease, but now published for the good and benefit of the publick by George Hartman.

The Lunary {water} of Paradise, or the Coelestial Eagle of the Lunar Sphere, which is Lul∣lys true Spiritual Lunary.

DIssolve ☽ in A. F. and precipitate it with Spirit of Salt, dry the Calx, and mix it with equal parts of Calx of ♃, and thence distil the volatil Crystals or butter s. a. Ex∣pose this butter to the Air to resolve into li∣quor, that by that means it may make a Den∣tifique attraction of the Spirit of the World, which specifieth it self by this Magnet. Put the clean liquor into a Cucurbite, and di∣gest with a Lamp {fire} for 15 days, at the end of which time there will distil over an Aethe∣rial liquor, which is the Lunary; with which you may work Miracles in Physick, especially in all diseases of the head and brain; the dose is the same with the former, mixing it with a fit Vehicle; Note, that it turneth all liquors into milk, and is sometimes Emetick. For trans∣mutation,

deflegm this {water} as before and you shall have the Metalline Gluten; which be∣ing digested per se, will become a white Pow∣der of projection; and afterwards a red one: But it will be better to add a tenth part of leaf ☉ or of the Sulphur of ☉ made by the Sal Enix: It is multiplyed by new addition of the Lunary or Gluten. Note, that this liquor is the Sommet of the Lunary: For the Volatil Crystals of ☽ are the simple Lunary; but this Coelestial {water} is the Spiritual Lunary, or the highest point of the Metalline Salts: Note, that you may draw the red and white Oyl of what remaineth, and proceed as before.
