LEad. Schrod. T. it's cold, bindeth and incrassats, &c. V. it represseth lust, filleth ulcers with flesh, cicatrizeth, removeth excre∣lencies,

and helpeth cheronious ulcers; as also the malignant, can∣crous, and putrifying, both used alone, and mixed with other things. Note, hereof is made the minium or red lead of the shops, by reverbera∣torie calcination, and the burnt lead by the cementatorie. The su∣gar or salt and magisterie of Saturne, are of the same vertue, so either of them being taken into the body, by reason of its coldnesse, doth extinguish venery: the D. is from gr. 4. to 6. used outwardly it hin∣dereth lust, the navil and genital being anointed therewith. (Note also, the same may be helped againe, by a Laconick bath, anointing the navil with the distilled oile of nutmegs,) it is also of excellent vertue in the curing of cancrose, malignant, and corrosive ulcers, ringwormes, burnings, and inflammations. it dissolveth hard and scir∣rhous tumours, it's very usefull in bruises, being applied, and in in∣flammations and rednesse of the eyes, being used in rose or euphrage water, or applied to the eye-lids. So Crol. Beg. Senn. The salt with that of nitre an. crystalizeth, and helpeth the asthma. S. Closs. The milkie Liquour of Saturne for ulcers, helpeth those that are dyse∣pulotick, and quickly cicatrizeth the same, being applied twice or thrice in a day with cloaths wet therein, being first warmed. Note, ceruse is made hereof by vaporose calcination. Tentzel. The spiritus ar∣dens of Saturne is sudorifick and usefull in the plague, hypochon∣driacall melancholy, and burning feavers, as also in the french pocks, &c. the D. is 2. or 3 drops, it hindreth venery: and is used to dis∣solve pearles, The yellow oile dissolveth gold. The red mundifieth and cureth wounds, being put thereon: so the caput mortuum: see Begu. Hart. in Crol. Senn. Inst. Kesl. The balsamick oile of Saturne, is very excellent in cancrous, eating, and other malignant ulcers, Kell. the sulphur of Saturne, or supernatant oile, is very effectuall in the phthi∣sick and diseases of the lungs. the D. of the Tincture is g. 2. or 3. the more elaborate is very effectuall in madnesse, melancholy, the quar∣tane ague, phthisick, & hypochondriacal melancholy, and openeth the spleen. The stone helpeth saturnine diseases. Basil. Thold. The true salt of Saturne, doth exceedingly coole and dry, and therefore extin∣guisheth sperme; the D. is g. 4. outwardly it helpeth rednesse of the eyes, and ulcers of the whole body. Diosc. washed lead, doth coole, bind, soften, fill with flesh, and stop fluxes of the eyes, and blood: it removes excrescencies in ulcers, and helps ulcers of the fundament, haemor∣rhoides, and inflammations, with oile of roses: also it cicatrizeth those sores that are hardly cured; and is in all things like Spodium; but onely that it doth not cause crusts. and by the rubbing thereof it hepls the wounds of the Sea scorpion and dragon. Of the same

effect is burnt lead, but much sharper: so the drosse, but is more astrin∣gent. Caes. waters running by lead, harden the nerves, contract them, trouble, and fill them with phlegme. The plates of lead being bound to the loines and reines resist Venus by their coldnesse; so Plin. Albert. Oribas. it hindereth the flux of sperme. Hereof with vineger is made ceruse: which used outwardly helps ulcers. Diosc. it cooleth, filleth, mollifieth, gently extenuates, represseth excrescencies, and ci∣catrizeth, it's used in gentle cerots and plaisters; C. the best is that which is first sifted, and serveth for the eyes. Being taken inwardly it is deadly, causing a white colour in the parts it toucheth; a cough, drinesse, and sluggishnesse, as also shortnesse of breath. It's used by women as a fucus; so Caes. Diosc. the Antidote is honied water, the decoction of figs or mallowes, buttermilk, oile of flower deluce, or mar∣ierom, pigeons egges with frankincense, or the decoction of barley, warm water and vomiting. Aldrovand. the oile helps the hemorrhoids, the plate helps tumours of the ganglion. the headpice helps the head∣ach. Caes. Of ceruse burned is made sandix, which dryeth without heat or cold: if washed it dryeth and cooleth.
