The essence of Antimonie.

THere is great store of Antimonie in mines of Germany, as at Tiohtelberg, ond at Plaun, a City in Bohemia; in Italy al∣so about Massa is found some. The best An∣timonie is found in Carinthia, and County of Tyral; where there are golden Mines. The yellow is of the best, the next is of a Saffron colour, and the third is blackish. This among other fruits of the water, hath as many ver∣tues and so good ones, that they scarce can

be expressed by man. It hath an inward efficacitie from the first Originall and cre∣ation of things unto this day, and continued inviolably, neither hath the deluge ever in∣fringed its native power, and stuck stifly to heavens influence to which it was inslaved. Hence our most noble subject is reduced to its prima materia, so that the fire doth glitter every way like the Aether. It taketh away the cause of any disease, and tranaformes the impure body so, that is seemeth to want nothing of its most perfect health.
