CHAP. LXXXII. Of the Fesses of Wine, and of his Secrets that I have foundout.

THat which is called Allum du Fesse, is the Fesses of Wine burnt, the which I have spoken of in other places, but here I will shew thee a great and rare Secret, never written before by any man, the which shall be to the honour of the Physiti∣an, and this is the Secret.

Take the Fesses of Aqua fortis, made with Roch Allom, Sal Niter, and Vitriol two pound, Allum du Fesse two pound, mix them well together, and put them into a Furnace to cal∣cine, untill it become to a hard stone: and when it is calcined, make it presently into powder, and set it four or five nights in the ayre, and it will turn moist, then take six pound of pure Aqua vitae without flegm, and put therein the same pow∣der, and so let it remain eight daies, every day stirring it once, then pour of that part which is clear, and keep it as a preci∣ous Jewell, then take the Fesses and calcine them again, as yee did at the first, and make them in powder again: And this powder mundifieth all filthie and stinking sores, and with this water thou mayest help them, if that the workman can apply it with reason. Also with this water may be done great cures in Physick, if it be given as it ought to be. Also of the said powder there may be made Pills and Potions, that worketh miracles in the world, as I have seen divers times.
