The way to make Vitriolum Veneris or Copperas of Copper, is as follweth.
℞ THin plates, or rather filings of Copper, what quantity you please, and Brimstone of each a like quantity, powder the Brim∣stone, and mix it with the Copper, put these into an earthen pan un∣glazed, and place them in a char-coale fire in a Chimny, and let them gently heat together till the Brimstone take fire. Then with an iron stirre it a little to and fro till all the Brimstone be consumed: then take it from the fire, and being cold cast it into a gallon or lesse quan∣tity of fair water, and it will make the water green, and in taft like Copperas; poure off that green water, filter and keep it, and set the same Copper to be made dry againe on the fire, which done, mixe it with more Brimstone, and burne it, and quench it as before, con∣tinuing such worke, till all the Copper be consumed and turned into a pleasant blew or green water: then mix and boyl the waters till half

This is the best kind of Copperas, it is in colour of a plea∣sant blew, and is easily to be made, and will yeeld a good quantity, namely, one pound of Copper, if it be artificially prepared, will make three pounds of Copperas.
