THe Liquor of Ophirizum, among other Secrets, is an universall medicine so powerfull, that it defends the whole body, and being corrupted, restoreth it to former health: And is made thus; Ophirizum by the regall Cement, or Antimonie Lamin•• must be dissolved in the green Liquor of salt into a powder, which afterward must be
washed in a distilled Coelestiall Water, to get off all its saltnesse: or if you will proceed more nimbly, cement the Lamins of Ophirizum, together with Lamins of Sa∣turne, covered for xxiv houres, then dis∣joyne them, then is your Solar Calx prepa∣red. Then upon the washed powder, or purged Calx poure spirit of Wine, that it stand over it six fingers breadths, and the junctures being well luted, macerate them in a Balmy for xx or xxx dayes; then poure forth the Citrin Liquor, leaving in the bot∣tome a most Candid powder, and separate the spirit of Wine very subtilly in a Balmy, from the yellow Liquor of Ophirizum.
At last the extracted colour of gold must be five times driven in a Retort, then is your quintessence of Sol, or the potable gold, perfect, whose gr. iii. are given in aqua Dracunculi. This Liquor of Ophirizum maketh the spirit of Wine as dead, alive, increaseth the radicall Humidum, and so corroborateth the whole body, that nothing goeth beyond it. This Liquor, I say, open∣eth the pores, and nimbly penetrateth all the parts of the body, rectifieth the cor∣rupted bloud, consumeth superfluous hu∣mours, and confirmeth or strengtheneth
universally all the Faculties and their Funi∣ctions: Lastly, by the benefit of this Oph∣rizum, to speak by particular of it, every intemperateness is cured, even Obstruction, Phlegmon, Tumor, Putredo, Impostume, Fever, Pest, Madnesse, Falling-sickness, A∣poplexie, the Palsie in any part of the body, Defluxions, shortness of breath, Consump∣tion, Pleurisie, trembling of the Heart, Cho∣lick, corruptness of the Liver, of the Spleen, the Scirrhus-arquatus, Malus-habitus, Drop∣sie, the Cholick, the Iliack-passion, all man∣ner of Fluxes, the Wormes, Hemerods, the stone of the Kidneys and Bladder, the viru∣lent Gonorrhes, Diabetes, Ischeria, the Rupture, the Concurse of Hysterical symp∣tomes, the oppression of the Moneth, and their immoderate flowing, the Whites, the rising of the Mother, and the falling down of the womb, Sterility, all manner of Gouts, Chiragra, Gonagra, Ischias or Sciatica, E∣lephantia, or Leprosie, Venereall Infection, the bitings of venemous beasts, the Anthrax, Cancer, small Pox, Herpes Exedens, Gan∣grene, Fistula, eating Ulcer. To speak it in a word, the Liquor of Ophirizum expel∣leth and cureth radically all inward Disea∣ses of the body, and all outward ones, which
any other Medicament cannot cure by rea∣son of their extream malignity; and the fe∣tall necessity, being Gods pleasure, do not permit their cure.
