which we cordially wish to all those who are sincere well-wishers to the Hermetic Philosophy FINIS Circulatum minus Urbigeranum OR THE PHILOSOPHICAL ELIXIR OF VEGETABLES WITH The Three certain Ways of Preparing it fully and clearly set forth in One and Thirty APHORISMS By Baro Urbigerus A Servant of God in the Kingdom of Nature Experto Crede LONDON Printed for Henry Faithorne at the Rose in St. Paul's Church-year 1690. TO ALL TRUE LOVERS OF THE HERMETIC PHILOSOPHY HAving in our Precedent Aphorisms clearly deliver'd such infallible Rules and Instructions as are necessary for producing our Grand Elixir or Circulatum majus the only real Secret of the true Adepts commanding in all the Kingdoms of Nature which will we question not be no less pleasing to all other lovers of Sciences than to our Disciples and being farther inclin'd fully to inform them how to preserve themselves and others in perfect Health by obviating any Distemper that may otherwise overcome them before they can attain to the Accomplishment of their Desires We have thought it convenient to impart likewise to them our three several ways of making our Vegetable Elixir or Circulatum minus which may be prepar'd and brought to its utmost Perfection in the space of a Philosophical Month by any skilful Artist who shall comprehend and follow our certain Directions laid down in these our subsequent Aphorisms where the whole Work is so evidently demonstrated that none who is ever so little vers'd in Chymistry can be liable to mistake Nor do we any way doubt but all those who shall with a sincere and upright Intention peruse these our plainly-written Aphorisms will find themselves oblig'd to bless Almighty God for his infinite Mercy in having inspir'd us to open their Eyes that they may see what is requisite for their present Health and future Happiness both which we heartily wish to every one who as becomes a true Philosopher unfeignedly loves God and his Neighbor Circulatum minus Urbigeranum OR THE PHILOSOPHICAL ELIXIR OF VEGETABLES WITH The Three certain Ways of Preparing it I. OUR Circulatum minus in only a specificated Elixir belonging to the Vegetable Kingdom by which without any Fire or farther Preparation of the Vegetables we can in a Moment extract their true Essence containing their Virtue Quality and Property which is a great Chymical Curiosity performing Wonders in the Practice of Physick and in demonstrating some Works of Nature II. We call it Circulatum because thô never so often us'd in any Extraction or Chymical Experiment whatever it loses nothing of its Quality or Property which is a Prerogative pertaining to the Universal Elixir call'd also the Circulatum majus because it commands in all the three Kingdoms of Nature whilst this being restrain'd to one only Kingdom is for that reason stil'd Minus III. Out of Dianas undetermin'd Tears when Apollo has appear'd after the Separation of the three Elements Determination Digestion and glorious Resurrection we can without the Addition of any other created thing prepare this our determin'd Elixir Which is the first noblest and secretest way of the Philosophers IV. The Determination of our Dianas Tears consists only in their perfect and indissoluble Union with the fixt Vegetable Earth philosophically prepar'd purify'd and spiritualiz'd for the love of which they are forc'd to leave their first universal undetermin'd Property and be cloath'd with a determin'd particular one which is requir'd to this our Circulatum minus V. Our second way of preparing this our Vegetable Elixir is by a right Manipulation of a Plant of the noblest Degree standing by it self or supported by others after the Preparation of which and its Putrefaction Reduction into an Oil Separation of the three Principles with their Purification Union and Spiritualization the whole is to be turn'd into a spiritual ever-living Fountain renewing every Plant that shall be plung'd in it VI. The third and common way is only a Conjunction of a fixt Vegetable Salt with its own volatil sulphureous Spirit both to be found ready prepar'd by any vulgar Chymist and since in their Preparation the purest Sulphur containing the Soul has suffer'd some Detriment by their not being philosophically manipulated they cannot be inseparably join'd without a sulphureous Medium by which the Soul being strengthned the Body and Spirit are also thrô it made capable of a perfect Union VII The proper Medium requisite for the indissoluble Union of these two Subjects is only a sulphureous and bituminous Matter issuing out of a Plant living or dead which is to be found in several parts of the World and is known to all manner of Men the Copavian we find to be the best and after that the Italian by which after it has been separated from its feculent parts thrô our Universal Menstruum all the Pores and Atoms of the fixt Vegetable Salt which is extremely fortified by it being dilated it is made capable of receiving its own Spirit and uniting it self with it VIII To fortify the Sulphur and open the Pores of the Salt no other Method is to be us'd but to imbibe the same with the bituminous Matter in a moderate digestive Heat as if one would hatch Chickens and as the Salt grows dry the Imbibitions are to be repeated until you find it so fully saturated that it refuses to imbibe any more of the Matter IX In the Course of Imbibitions the whole Mass is at least nine or ten times a day to be stirr'd with a Spatula or some other Instrument of dry Wood by which reiterated Motion the bituminous Matter receives a better ingress into the Body and perfects its Operation the sooner X. Great Care is to be taken that in the performance of the Imbibitions no kind of Soil or Dust fall into your Matter for the prevention of which your Vessel may be kept cover'd with a Paper prickt full of holes or any other suitable Covering and that nothing come near it which has its own internal Sulphur for the Pores of the Salt being very much dilated and open'd it may easily determine it self to any other Subject and so spoil your Undertaking XI If in three or four Weeks time at farthest your fixt Vegetable Salt does not manifest its full Saturation 't will certainly be in vain for you to go any farther with it for you may assure your self that you either err in the Notion of the Salt or of the real sulphureous Medium or in the Management of the Imbibitions XII When your Imbibitions are fully perform'd your Salt will then be in a convenient readiness to receive its own Spirit by which it is made volatil spiritual transparent and wonderfully penetrating entring of a sudden into the Pores and Particles of every Vegetable and separating in a moment their true Essence or Elements XIII Althô the Salt is fully prepar'd for the Reception of its own Spirit yet unless you well observe the right Proportion of them which is that the volatil always predominate over
