I Have taken the proper quantity of the Mercury, and I mixed it with its true Arsnick, to wit, about four ounces of Mercury, and I made a thin commixed consistence; I purged it after a due man∣ner, and I distilled it, and I had a pure Body of Lune, whence I knew that I had
rightly prepared it: afterwards I added to its weight of Arsnick, and I increased its former weight of Mercury, in so much that the Mercury might prevail to a thin flux, and so I purged it, to the wasting of the blackness almost to a Lunary whiteness: then I took half an ounce of the Arsnick of which I made a due Mar∣riage, I added it to this betrothed Mer∣cury, and there was made a temperature like Potters Loam, but a little thinner; I purged it again, after a due manner, the Purgation was laborious, and a long time: I made it with the Salt of Urine, which I have found to be the best in this Work.
