Of Precipitate,

*PRecipitate is also Quick-silver distilled in Aqua fortis, which by rea∣son of the strong spirits contained in the violent and fierce vapors of the Aqua fortis or strong water, it is coloured red, or glistering, or yellowish, as experience sheweth▪ the vapors proceeding from this kind of preparation are also dangerous, and so are the medicines made therewith being often without due respect admīnistred, yea ℥j. of Praecipitate one dosse often Pil wise by Epeicks. And again some others which would be esteemed more excellent for invention have this medicine a little removed. And then they style it Tur••th, miner∣al, attributing thereto the perfect cure of the Pox▪ perswading them∣selves none can do like wonders to themselves, but they are children in understanding, and know i not, onely they are opinionated and* bold, and more often kill or spoil▪ then heal, as their consciences know; for mercury is a fox, and will be too crafty for fools, yea and will oft leave them to their disgrace, whn they relying upon so un∣certain a medicine, promise health, and in the stead of healing make their Patient worsethen before.
