MAster Doctor Anthony you may call to minde,* 1.1 if you please, that about September last past, you wrote certaine letters vnto me. At which time I also receiued from you fiue ounces of your Au∣rum Potabile, to the praise of God, your commenda∣tion, and my great good. My Diseases were mentio∣ned in the former letters. Besides which I had also a great swelling from my hucchlebone vnto the soles of my feete. But it is without paine: peraduenture it came of cold, or with lying long time vpon my right side. I vnderstand by Master Doctor Hunton, that be∣sides this Aurum Potabile which you sent me, you haue also the substance of gold in forme like hony, I pray you send me thereof, and the manner how to vse the same. I doe feele (I praise God) a mitigation of all my paines and Infirmities throughout all my bo∣dy: the swelling which I mentioned doth daily de∣crease: My vrine also I am able to retaine. This booke of yours Master Doctor Hunton requested of me. Send me an other I pray you, your studies and endeauours God alwaies blesse: farewell.
