A Representation of the four Elements in a Glass
Vial.
FIrst, you must dye some Aqua-Vitae with
Turnsole, to represent the Air, then take some of the Ethereal Oyl of
Turpentine, which dye of a fire Colour with Saffron; then some Alkanet, and
Oyl of Tartar, to which add a little Lapis Lazuli to give it a Sea Co∣lour; and
to represent the Earth a little brui∣sed Enamel: it is good to stir and
mix them together: each thing after a little standing will return to its
place, for those three Li∣quors never mix.
