such as the Julep or rather Syrup of Jujubs for when it is made of a hundred great Jujubs and four pounds of water cocted to the half and one pound of sugar it acquires a more crass consistency than a Julep and therefore when it comes to be used it requires dilution in simple water cocted or in a Prisane whereas a Julep is limnid enough of it self And that same Syrup which from its frequent use there derives its name from Alexandria Syrupus Alexandrinus is improperly called a Julep since it is as much inspissiated by coction and as long kept as any Syrup Now the Julep of Roses is right made when it consists of Rose-water with half as much Sugar cocted almost to the crassitude of a Syrup or little less if it be presently to be assumed as vulgar Juleps Julepus rosatus qui fiat which are made for present use of Sugar or some Syrup with thrice its quantity of water as ℞ The water of Endive ℥ iij. Syrup of Limons ℥ j. mingle them Thus Juleps should be of a more liquid consistency that they may be percolated but those that are longer cocted or receive onely a double quantity of Water to their Sugar as the syrup of Roses Syrupus Rosareus Rondeletii according to Rondeletius or an equal weight of both according to Sylvius are because of their crassitude scarce fluid and admit not of percolation Therefore according to the different coction and quantity of Water to the Sugar it will be a Syrup if both be equal or a Julep if three parts of Water be put to one of Sugar according to Loubertus Since Juleps are easy to make I shall onely describe one or two forms ℞ of the waters of Fumatory and Wood sorrel an ℥ ij of Sugar ℥ j. boyl them on a gentie fire till one ounce be consumed make it into a Julep for one dose An Hypnotical Julep to conciliate sleep may be thus made ℞ The water of Water lillyes ʒ ij of Betony ℥ j.

Of distilled Restoratives ALL analeptical and restorative Medicaments which refocillate the habit of the body absumed by long disease or hunger which are prescribed to resartiate the vigour of the faculties weakned with languor are not onely taken from medicinal but alimental matter For whereas they conduce partly to the nutriment of the body and partly to the cure of the part affected it is manifest by reason that they should be endued with various qualities Now they are called distilled Medicaments Distillata cur dicta because they are distilled drop by drop from an Alembick into a subjected Vessel and Restoratives because they are extracted from nutritive flesh from Conserves Cordial Powders and all such things as either by their odour or substance refresh the spirits or roborate the principal parts Many disapprove of the custome of the ancients who distilled the raw flesh of Capons or Partridges purged from their bones and fatnesse together with the powders and conserves for seeing raw flesh is hardly concocted and the faculty of the powders easily and dissipable with what reason are these mixed especially seeing that the water first distilling from the crude flesh corrupts soon they seem to do better that put the flesh halfe cocted and its own juice into the Alembick with the other materialls Neither do we approve of their action Catenarum aurcarum decoctio non utilis who coct golden chains together with the flesh seeing nothing of them is dissolved nor yet extracted from them save that filth they have contracted by touching Their custome is more laudable who cast filings of Gold into coction as the Apothecaryes of Paris use to do who spare no cost that they may confect their restoratives and other compounds well This solemn and excellent distillation may be thus accomplished ℞ Of the broth of one Capon and 2.

VI. Of Decoction or Apozemes GErmany indeed that I may a little decline from the rode is happy in that it is not only a nursery of famous men but a treasure also of precious things Yet as the frugiferous tree brings forth with fragrant Apples blasted blossomes and sometimes pestiferous fruits so hath she produced a very Monster in nature I mean that Pseudomedick Paracelsus who professed the Devill the Authour of his Medicine calling his characters and words the Devils Art our syrups and decoctions mans inventions Herophilus the ancient Philosopher denoted these as also all Medicaments with more sanctity calling them the Auxiliatory hand of the Gods which being indued with divine and admirable faculties are able to cure the diseased and preserve the sound body Upon this account Heraclitus famous also amongst Philosophers was wont to call sacrifices Medicaments because they like some praepotent Physick purge the soul as medicaments do the body Cael. Rhod. cap. 2. lib. 12. The Impostor said truely when he called decoctions mans medicaments for herewith the quality of the peccant humours is tempered many pains eased the violence of the untimely guest death abated the acerbity of the symptomes mitigated and the parts reduced to their native bonity and vigour for they are made of all kinds but especially of alterative and roborative Medicaments wherein sometimes some benign purgative simples are infused in small quantity for it were absurd to call any blackish ingratefull laxative decoction wherein much Senny or half an ounce of some electuary as Catholicum or some lenitive hath been dissolved an Apozeme for 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 with the Greeks comes from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to fervefy Apozema quid unde dicatur or decoct and an Apozeme is onely used for the thin decoction of hearbs Now the whole matter of Apozemes is from plants of whose

Arist c. 2. l. 1. de anima who called Water the Soul of the World and Hippocrates also Aqua ignis vita principia who constituted Water and Fire the principle of life But Hippon meant by Water sperm Hippocrates the radical moysture Now the Water whereof we now treat that is necessary to Mankinde either to quench his thirst or to coct and confect Aliments and Medicaments is elementary often designed with the name of the frigid Element And it is either fontane fluvial puteal or pluvial and cysternial It is called fontane water à fundendo because it is poured out of the earth which is preferred as most wholsome Yet some fountains are impaired for passing through the bowels of the earth they require aliene faculties for they mutuate their odour or sapour from the places through which they permeate Thus some which are trajected through sulphureous passages are so hot that they may not be used others because of those veins of Alume and involutions of Vitriol are so acid and ingratefull that a thirsty man would not taste them In Germany beyond Rhene there is a fountain of sweet water whereof if one drink his teeth will fall out within two years In many parts of France there are Medicinal Waters of aliene insuave and strange sapours as the Pucensian Wells whereunto people flock in multitudes yearly and return successfully But I purpose not here to treat of these it shall suffice me to shew at present what qualities water that is potable and requisitely necessary to an Apothecary in confecting Medicaments should be endued withall Now such water according to Aristotle lib. de sensu sensib should in it self be the mixture matter and seminary of all spours or as Galen c. 15. l. 1. c. 2. l. 2. de alim writes should be insipid voyd of all qualities and most light but not in weight as some would hence inferr for then Snow-water would be best because lightest which we know to be unwholsome but it should be of tenuious parts quickly calefied and quickly refrigerated such as fontane and fluvial water is if it be pure in defect whereof rain water by Galen's advice lib. de Ptis may be assumed especially to the confection of Hydromel Yet our Colledge at Paris judge Cisternine waters unwholsome as being dead and having contracted some vice from the air from the spout through which and from the trough into which they delabe for the shower that proceeds from air of an inquinated pestilentious and putrified quality must needs participate thereof the shower that washes the sides of houses must needs be infected with corruption or other filth especially if it wan● motion which is the foul of water The shower that is contained in a Cistern though well grounded with sand must needs be corrupted especially when abundance of impure water delabes for then the sand will putrify and inquinate it Hence the water afterwards running out of that Cistern is endued with a very bad odour and sapour and is useless The very condition of rain accelerates its corruption which being partaker of the airs lenity is quickly corrupted Yea many Authors of credit have writ that many Fishes have received detriment by rain as the Muller or Cestreus whose eyes are white and they at that time very macilent The best water therefore is fontane fluvial and puteal water so it be not muddy nor ferid but insipid that is endued with no manifest quality nor mixed with any aliene sapour as of Salt Nitre Sulphur Bitumen Alome or others of that kinde Gal. comment ad part 10. lib. 4. epid CHAP. II. Of Wine THE antient Romanes sacrificing to their Gods continually offered Wine whence the Poet Redduntur merito debita vina Jovi For saith Plato they dedicated Wine to the Gods that they might expell all cares from Men and fill their hearts with gladness for Bacchus is the rest bringing God to afflicted Mortals Natures Storehouse contains nothing better than Wine which is the best Balsame to cure wounds the most excellent Cordial to refresh the spirits and the most eximious Aliment to nourish the body which its name seems to denote for it is called 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is from helping according to that of Homer If thou drinkest thou wilt finde help for it letificates marts heart exhilarates his minde makes his age florid takes away sadness cherishes native calour calefies his bowels helps concoction roborates the stomack takes away obstructions prepares the passages for the exclusion of the excrements moves urine resarciates the spirits discusses flatuosity obtunds frigid poysons attenuates cocts and discusses crass humours And that I may comprehend its immense dignity in a few words Wine is the blood of the earth old mens milk life issuing from the Vine that conserves life in others yea and suppeditates them Aqua vitae whence Alchymists call it the Elixar of life All which when the Greek Poer had experienced and acknowledged as most true he did with such alacrity adore Wine for Laudibus arguitur vine vinosus Homerus that he thereby attained not onely the knowledge of abstruse Sciences but alsomost eximious eloquence for Faecundi calices quem non fecere disertum For as it is vulgarly received Wine acuates the ingenuity and rouses the spirits Eunium Aeschylum non scripsisse carniina nisi vino fuerint madidi for which cause the Poet Ennius would never betake himself to the description of Verses unless he were first well madefied with Wine Aeschylus also never accinged himself to write Tragedies unless he had first imbibed himself with Wine It is also storied of Lampris that being then most apt to speak and answer to the purpose and discreetly when he had ingurgitated much wine He was wont to say of himself that he was like Frank incense which never emits its suaveolence till it be well calefied In wine there is eloquence in wine verity in wine alacrity for this as the Proverb hath it will make an old Wife dance It was a Piacle among the Hebrews to abstain from wine and a custome among the Persians never to treat and decrae of any serious matters till they had been well drunk Alex. ab Alex. yet Galen saith of Plato that he never permitted Souldiers nor Servants nor Princes nor such as were to consult about any matter to drink wine liberally because it would tyrannize over the faculties of the soul and taken in excess enervate the strength and destroy sanity Whence Hippocrates saith that in wine is sickness and sanity moderation and ferity peace and war according to that of the Poet Vinum alit lites lites dissolvit easdem Wine therefore is adiaphorous and indifferent good or evil Vinum sanis robur as its use is good or evil And as it is sanity and strength to the sane so it is infirmity to the infirm and especially to such as are distempered from a hot cause There are many sorts

TOMLINSON The TRANSLATOR by way of Preface to the READER WHEN we cast our eyes over the whole frame of the Earth and contemplate upon the immense bulk of Medicinal Materials we cannot but wonder at Heavens providential care of Man Was there ever any malady that invaded this Microcosm but a suitable remedy was found for the same How is the Earth bedubbed with variety of Colours what Bravery and Allurement doth it carry in its face how doth the juicy Vine flourish and bedeck the Valleys with its blushing Clusters the pithy Elm ambitious to out strip the laquacious Hazle how is the hoary Chesnut planted with the Aromatick Juniper the lofty Cedar with the spinous Shrub nay the whole Globe coruscates being brandish'd with Autumn Fruit.
