COpper. Schrod. or brasse. T. V. it strengthneth the generative parts, and is of excellent use in physick. The spirit is ex∣cellent against the falling sicknesse by sympathie: after pur∣gation with the red flowers of ♁. the D. is from 8 drops to 10. in broth made acid, that it cause not vomiting▪ The flowers are excellent to mundifie wounds, and are therefore put into the plaister Oppodeldoch. so the crocus. The tincture is very good against the epilepsie, and many other diseases, being taken in some conve∣nient liquor. S. Closs. The quintescence is very effectuall against disea∣ses of the braine, all feavers continuall and intermitting, and purifi∣eth the bloud. Thold. ex Basil. The salt is hotter, than those of other mettals, it strengthneth the stomach, and helpeth the crudities there∣of, therefore it's used against the collick, flatulencies, and distempers thence arising: also it warmeth a cold womb, helpeth its suffoca∣tion, provoketh the termes, and helpeth the diseases of the reines: the D. is from 3 gr. to 8. there may also be thence made one, serving in∣stead of vitriol. Note, mettals are hard bodies, that may be melted, and begotten of a saline juice or Mercury, coagulated in the earth by the vertue of their own sulphur; both which are founded in vitriola∣ted salt. S. Closs. The green caustick oile of brasse, cureth venereous pushes, and consumeth warts. Note, Verdegrease is made by the vaporose calcination thereof. Aldrovand. brasse is hot and dry: initio 4ti. and so poysonsome. H. causing paine of the stomack and belly, vomiting, and fluxes, ulcers and difficultie of breath, and is worse if

burnt, but is to be helped, by warme water, oile, or butter and clysters: Rhas. and Avic. use those remedies against arsenick, and the Concili∣ator, the juyce of mints, or acorus, drach: ij. being taken in wine, or drach. 1. of sealed earth, or red corall pp. yet it's good for the eyes, therefore burnt, together with the floures rust and squamms it's kept by apothecaries to dry and bind. Diosc. the flouers bind, represse excrescencies, and cleare the eyes, so the squamme, and helpes their flux, and asperity of the eyebrowes, the rust is sharp and digesting, there∣fore mixed with oile and wax it cicatrizeth ulcers: when burnt it mightily bindeth, drieth, and easily cureth ulcers. Caes. aeruginous wa∣ters, drunk, cause vomiting, and their baths help creeping ulcers. Those of brasse help ulcers of the mouth and genitals, as also di∣stillations to the eyes and jawes. Aldrov. T. brasse is hot and dry 3^o. and very hurtfull to man.

G.

Gold. Aurum.

• P. In India, Scythia, Spaine, Italy, Asia, &c.
• M. Of principles exactly digested and fixed.
• N. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Sol. Chym. ☉. Rex metallorum.

GOld. Schrod. K. as the Arabian. Hungarick and Rhenish. T. is cor∣diall, and mundifying. V. it doth very much strengthen the heart, and naturall balsame, or heat, and is therefore given with good successe in all diseases, in which the strength is to be repaired: it doth also cleanse the bloud, discussing humours, and being diaphoretick. The Aurum Fulminans, is used to provoke sweat: the D. is from gr. 3. to 4. The Diaphoreticum, is given with malmesey or some other li∣quor against sundry diseases, especially such as arise from obstruction: it is also very cordiall. H. yet naught for women troubled with the fits of the mother, by reason of the musk and amber in it. The aurum potabile, by the spirit of wine, acuated with the salt of urine. D. is gi∣ven from 3 gr. to 8. or more. So Hart. Senn. Kest•• Gluckr. in Beg. That by the glaciale oile of antimonie, from 3 drops to 5: and is an excellent diaphoretick: also the oile of antimonie coming from the Gold in the first distillation, doth gently purge, and open obstructi∣ons,

&c. so Hart. in Crol: The aurum potabile by the oile of Sa∣turne, doth resist poyson. D. and given from 4 drops to 8 in wine, doth revive those that are even at deaths doore: it is also very good against the falling sicknesse, apoplexie, palsie, and other diseases of the head. So Hart. in Crol. Kesl. The compounded aurum diaphoreti∣cum of Poppius, helpeth the shrinking of the limbs: the D. is g. 8. so Popp. in Thesaur. The aurum potabile by the spirit of manna, ex∣pelleth sweat, and is most prevalent to carry forth the seminarie of any malignant and poysonsome disease: so Cl. Helv. the D. is a few drops. The D. of that of Dr. Antonie of London, is g. 6, 7, 8, &c. The aurum vitae of Quercetane, is of incredible vertue, against a mul∣titude of diseases. The D. of the mercuriale laudanum of Bayer, is from gr. 2. to 5. Unicornu solare or manna solaris, D. is given from gr. 1. to 5. and the Flores solis, from 6 gr. to 9. The Salt from 2 gr. to 4. and is an excellent diaphoretick remedie: that of Basil, from 2 gr. to 4 &c. Aldrovand. T. gold is hot and moist 2^o. having antipathie to lead; yet others count it cold and dry. V. it hinders ill exhalations, and resists putrefaction: held in the mouth it helpeth the breath, boiled with meats it resists putrefaction, Plates thereof be∣ing heated hot and often quenched in wine help the splenetick and obstructions. Lemn. and its good against the plague: and also good mixed with tartar, against blemishes of the face. Lang. the pla••e thereof held upon the tongue quencheth thirst in feavers: Mizald. and the same applied to the reines helps the paine thereof. Villanov. and on the head strengthens it, and on the heart it causeth mirth. Alex. Ped. used hot it prevents the grouth of haire. Mizald the leaves stee∣ped 24 houres in the juyce of limmons with white-wine, and powder of angelica, cure the plague: also the leaves applied to ulcers, con∣sume the flesh without biting, and cauteries are best made by gold. The Scobs thereof Diosc. helps those that are hurt by quicksilver, ta∣ken inwardly, or used outwardly, it attracting it to it selfe. Renod. the filings thereof help the evill colours of maides, as steel. Matth. the scobs helpeth the eye-sight, as an alcohol. Gold being applied helps the pocks in Children: the powder helps the alopecia, drying the same, and the elephantiasis, scab, or leprosie, in electuaries: some use it against melancholy, the ointment thereof, helps the hurts of quicksilver. The oile helps the elephantiasis, phagedens and canc∣rous ulcers, and the leprosie, strengthning the heart, refreshing the vitall spirits, and expelling all kinds of sicknesses, and it preserveth youth; notwithstanding these Chimists scarce outlived the same. Caes. the powder blowed into the eyes strengthneth them: it helps and consolidates the complexion.

I.

Iron. Ferrum.

• P. Almost in all countries, in England, &c.
• M. Of sulphur and salt mixed with the cruder parts of earth.
• N. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Mars. Chym. ♂. if purified, Chalybs.

IRon. Schrod. T. it's both astringent, and opening. V. its opening quality resideth chiefely in the more volatile part, and therefore in the salt: the astrictive in that which is more fixed, sc. in the earth: Querc. Sena. The Crocus martis obstructivus, is drying, and there∣fore helpeth the dysenterie, lienterie, and gonorrhoea, &c. outwardly it's used to dry up ulcers and wounds. Querc. Begu. The aperitivus doth reserate, open, and attenuate. Note, the first is made by re∣verberatory calcination, and the second by fusorie. Querc. The crocus made by calcination of illinition, is a very great opener, and excellent against the cachexie: the D. is gr. 3. or 4. The white oile of Mars, openeth obstructions, but chiefly of the liver, spleen, mesera∣ick veines, and womb: the D. is some few graines. Helvic. Dieter. The red oile of Mars, doth gently bind and strengthen, and therefore is Very good in the dysenterie, loosnesse of the belly, and other fluxes: the D. is gr. 3. or 4. and more: Kell. The sulphureous oile of Mars, is very fat and fragrant, and is very excellent in obstructions, and weaknesse of the spleen. That of J. C. Facis. is very obstructive. The D. is gr. 4. or 5 &c. Hart. in pract. the D. of the tincture is from unc. sem. to unc. ij. in broth or a draught of succorie water. Finck. the tincture helpeth all diseases of the spleen, also the menses, both to provoke them and correct them when inordinate: the D. is from unc. sem. to unc. ij. Senn. Inst. the D. of the tincture of Mars crude is to scrup. 1. of that of Quercitan of crocus martis, 9 or 10 drops in the decocti∣on of Juniper, against the dropsie, being taken morning and eve∣ning, after universall remedies. So Hart. in pract. That made of the caeruleous drosse, is stronger then the common crocus made by rever∣beration, and serveth to stop all fluxes, as the menses, gonorrhoea, dy∣senterie, diarrhoea, and haemorrhage. &c. S. Closs. The Sal Saccha∣rinum and yellow tincture of Mars, strengthneth the liver, therefore it helpeth those that are hydropicall, and have running ulcers in their legs, it drieth up the superfluous menses, and haemorrhoides.

taken with fresh treacle it helpeth the dysenterie and openeth the spleen: the D. of the Salt is scrup. sem. with the oyle of nutmeg: and of the tincture, 6 or 8 drops in wine: of the red tincture, drach. sem. in white wine against the ischurie. Joel. Langel. The white magisterie of Mars helpeth those that are hepatick and hypochon∣driacall, &c. Kesl. The Flowers of the chrystall of Mars are excellent in the obstruction of the spleen and mesenterie: Horst. Epist. The sweetish salt of Mars doth incide and open obstructions (though great) of the bowels and womb. The D. of that of Basil is gr. 6, 7, 8, &c. of the purging salt, scrup. sem. or scrup. 1. in one or two spoonfulls of the syrup of violets laxative, &c. Note, steele is made of Iron, by grada∣torie purgation: and the vitrioll of Mars, by cementatorie calcination. Caes. waters running through iron mines, help the vices of the sto∣mack, and spleen, flux of the sperme, and whites: it helps the reines, collick, paines of the joynts, and exulcerations of the bladder. Note, all waters are of the faculty of the mineralls by and through which they passe. The water in which steele hath been quenched, helps the dysentery, so Plia. Myl. it helps the collerick, lienose, coeliack distempers, and resolutions of the stomack: also all iron strengthens, extenuates, and resolveth what is dry. Myl. The iron baths, help hot and moist diseases, as the asthma, gout, paine of the joints, weaknesse of the sto∣mack, tendernesse, filth of the eares, flux of the stomack, dropsie, collick, menses, and urines flux, hemorrhoids, falling out of the fundament, and poysons, Diosc. The rust bindeth, stops the termes, and hinders concep∣tion: applied with vineger it helps S. Anthonies fire, and pushes, whitlowes, rough nailes & eyebrowes, and the alopecia, so the drosse Caes. drach. sem of steel with the sugar of roses, prevents the putrefaction of evill humours, strengthens the stomach, opens obstructions of the bow∣els, and helps the cachexie, and obstructions.

L.

Lead. Plumbum.

• P. In Lusitania, Biscay, Spain, France, Brittain.
• M. Of indigested sulphur, aluminouse salt and ☿, emulating ♁.
• N. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Saturnus. chym. ♄. Plumbum nigrum.

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.

S.

Silver. Argentum.

• P. Almost in all countries, Spaine, and the Indies, &c.
• M. Of Sulphur and quicksilver. So Albert. Myl. &c.
• N. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Cerebrum. Luna. Chym. ☽.

SIlver. Abert. Mag. T. is cold and somewhat moist. Schrod. V. it doth specifically strengthen the head, and cherish the animal spirits, and is therefore good in all diseases of the head; as in the apo∣plexie, epilepsie, &c. Gluck. The Luna potabilis by the simple spirit of wine, D. is given from 3 graines to 6. to more, if acuated by the salt of urine. That by the vitriolate spirit of wine exceedeth the rest, in curing the epilepsie: Thold. the salt cureth diseases of the head, especially the epilepsie; and dryeth up hydropick water: the D. is gr. 4. or 5. S Closs. the Lunarie spirit, is very effectuall in curing the idi∣opathetick falling sicknesse. Caes. waters running through silver mines, are thought to be cordiall, so if by Gold. Caes. Albert. Mag. Myl. silver is cold, and dry, yet not without a certaine temperate

moisture. It helpeth the trembling of the heart, in some measure it operates as Gold, and is given by physicians in the same diseases, especially against madnesse, and all melancholick distempers; and to comfort and strengthen the braine, it is put into diverse remedies, with which gold also is mixed: it helpeth the palpitation of the heart, strengthneth the heart and braine, begetteth good bloud, consumeth the putrified flesh of wounds, glueth the same, and with the oile of tartar, cureth the troublesome scab; so Myl. The excrement or drosse of silver, is used in black plaisters, and those that cicatrize; and that for its astringent, and attracting nature; so Diosc. The spume there∣of, or Litharge, doth thicken, soften, fill hollow ulcers, represse the ex∣crescencies of the flesh, cicatrize, refrigerate, and stop, being washed it's used in collyries for the eyes, to take away the unseemlynesse of cicatrices, the wrinkles, scratchings, and spots of the face. H. Being drunk it loadeth and tormenteth the stomach, belly, and intrals, and sometimes woundeth them by its weight. It suppresseth the urine, and maketh the body swell, and to be deformed, and of a leadish co∣lour. The Antidote is the seed of wild clary drunk, drach. VIII. of myrrhe, wormwood, hyssop, parsley-seed, or pepper, and the dry dung of Ringdoves, with spicknard and wine. Aldrovand. the filings of silver with quicksilver helpe the hemorrhoids. The oile helps diseases of the brain, as the epilepsie, 3 or 4 drops being drunk in the water of betony, sage, or bawme, so the salt. The salt taken from gr. 4 to 5. in Juniper water helps a weak stomach, and the dropsie.

T.

Tinne. Stannum.

• P. In Germany, and Brittain or England.
• M. Os more soft mercurie, fugacious: and white, crude sulphur.
• N. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Plumbum album. Jupiter. Chym. ♃. Plumbum candidum.

TInne. Serap. T. is cold and drying. Schrod. V. it's appropriated to the liver, and also helpeth diseases of the womb. The salt of Jupiter is an excellent and present help in the suffocation of the womb, which it doth miraculously ease, both inwardly and out∣wardly used: it is also commended outwardly against all stinking ul∣cers,

phagedens, fistula's, and cancers: the D. is from g. 2. to 4. &c. at severall times. The magisterie hath the same vertues with the salt. Begu. the D. of Jupiter diaphoreticus is from g. 4. to 6. The sulphur ser∣veth onely outwardly. The spirit cureth gangreens by the very touch. So S. Closs. The crystall of Jupiter, cures ulcers that are scrophulous and cancrouse, by causing a deep escharre, which being removed, they may be cicatrized by the balsame of sulphur. Thold. The true salt, helpeth the falling sicknesse, melancholy, vertigoes or dissinesse in the head, and dryeth up catarrhes, especially such as fall down unto the eyes: the D. is from g. 6. to scrup. 1. or scrup. ij. Aldrovand. the fine powder of tinne helpeth the wounds of scorpions. The Arabians use the ceruse thereof in wounds made by the sea scorpion; many also a∣ffirme that tinne helps old ulcers, and eating, in short▪ time cicatri∣zing the same. The salt helpeth the falling sicknesse, melancholy, and vertigo, as also catarrhes troubling the head, and dryeth those that come from the eyes, also gr. 6. thereof being taken do wonder∣fully strengthen the memory.
