Our Secret of marvellous vertue in act and strength
THis Unguent is of marvellous vertue, and was never made by any before, neither Antients nor of our time, which Unguent helpeth putrified Ulcers in the legs, so that it is to be wondered at: for it worketh divers operations, it mortifieth the evill, mundifieth, incarnateth, and siccatrizeth, which things to the Professours of the Art seemeth hard: Neverthelesse it is true, as I have proved an infinite of times; and because the world should have it, I have written here the receipt.
℞. Of our Magno liquore, and Oil of Mastick, made at the Apothecaries, and put them into a vessell of Copper, with as much Litarge as yee shall think good, and so let it stand a good while on the fire, and put thereto of our Cerotte Magistrale, and incorporate them well together, and so of yellow it shall become black; then take it from the fire, and put therein Mercury precipitate, and stir them well untill it be cold, and herewith thou shalt work wonders. It would be necessary for him that will make this receipt, to consider well of the Ingre∣dients of the Compositions, which are written in this book.
