Bodies with the first we Calcine naturally▪
perfect.
THe first Menstrue we call our sharp Vi∣negar,
with infinite other names,
which it will be tedious for to recite; and
with this is made our Magical Solution of
Sol; this, saith Sendivogius, is (Menstruum
mundi in sphaera Lunae toties rectificatum
ut possit calcinare Solem.) In this, saith
the noble Author of the Hermetical Ar∣canum,
is made Eclipsis Solis & Lunae in
Cauda Draconis: this is, as Artephi••••
saith, the only Instrument in the World
for our Art: for it causeth the Sun to pu∣trefie;
that is, it loseth its hard compa∣ction,
descriptionPage 47
and makes it to be an impalpable
Powder, as saith the truth-telling Flam∣mel.
In this Calcination, as all Authors
testifie, and our own Experience hath
taught us, Natures are united, Colours
are mingled, and one holds of the other,
and this is the period of the first Men∣struum,
which ends in this Circulation.
