CHAP. XCVI. Of the Flint-stones and their vertues.

THe flint is a stone, the which if it be stricken with Iron or Steel it will give fire, and his vertues are great both in Physick and Chrirurgery, and also in divers other Arts. First in Physick it hath vertue to dissolve the gravell in the Reins and Bladder, if ye give thereof two drachms with unriped Wine, and this it doth by his proper quality and hidden ver∣tue. In Chirurgery it hath great vertue, for being ground into most fine powder, and made into an ointment with Oil of Roses, and Wax, it mittigateth all inflammations, and ta∣keth away the pain of the sore, because it cooleth and drieth. Moreover, this stone is used of those that make Glasse, to make their composition with their Ashes and Maganese. There are yet a great number of vertues, the which I leave unto the Experimentour.
