CHAP. CIII. Strange secrets of Roch Allum.

IN Allum are great vertues, and especially in Roch Allum; for the water being separated from the Feces, and accompa∣nied with our Quintessence, worketh most strange cures, and especially in desperate diseases: And the Feces which cannot dissolve, when with fire they shall be brought to perfection, and accompanied with Mars, they shall be apt to heal any sort of Ulcer inwardly, and with speed take away the pain, and not without great reason: for the Roch Allum is Anima Terrae, a firm Element, and that which dissolveth and turneth all things into his nature. Mars also is Anima Terrae, and is that, in which is found all vertue and richnesse: But he that is not expert, let him not settle himself to this enterprise, least it fall not out right; for he that cannot prepare, calcine, dissolve, and con∣geale, shall never doe any thing that is ought worth, therefore it were better to leave then meddle.
