TO THE
Honoured, and Truly Learned,
Edmond Dickenson, M. D.
Physician to the KING’S Person and Family.
The Art of Chymistry, (_Honoured Sir_) although in its Speculations
most Noble and Delectable to a Philosophick Mind, and in its Practice
highly Inservient, and Beneficial to Mankind; yet hath it not escaped
the Obloquies, and false Imputations of Detractors, and Calumniators,
who either through Ignorance, Idleness, or Envy (or all of them
conjoin’d) have made a false Representation of this most Noble Art to
the World, and endeavoured to set Mankind at the greatest distance from
that which is its highest interest to court. For which cause, such
Writings as Promulge, and offer at the advancing of the _Chymical Art_,
stand in need of such a Patron as is able to defend them against all
the Cavils of Pride, Envy, and Ignorance.
And if the Exquisite Parts, and Profound Learning in the more Abstruse
Philosophy, together with a Long, and Indefatigable Scrutiny and
Labour in the Chymical Art, accompanied with a happy Practice in the
Honourable Faculty of Physick, be fit Accomplishments to Entitle one
a =Mecænas= of this Art; then are those Excellencies all met and
Concentred in your self, as is evident to the whole World by your
Curious and Learned Epistle to =Mundanus=, and his Answer to it, which
answer will be a Lasting Testimony of your great Worth and Merit.
For certainly, Sir, it is no small evidence of your Worth and Abilities
in the _Pyrotechnick Art_, that a Philosopher who had been more than
forty years an _Adept_, in all that time should not find three Persons,
besides your self, whom he thought worthy to make certain of the truth
of what they sought, and aspired after; and yet gave you an Ocular
Satisfaction and Certitude of that which Thousands have desired to see,
but could not: And further seriously professing, that if he had had the
same liberty from his Master, that some _Adepts_ enjoy, that he would
have revealed to you the whole Secret.
These things have induced me humbly to offer this Book to your
Patronage, not doubting but under your Name and Protection, it will be
able to overcome many Difficulties, and obtain a free passage in this
our _English_ World, to the benefit and advantage of many well-disposed
persons, who seek after Honest, Profitable, and Commendable Arts, which
I am fully perswaded was the chief end of the Author in Writing; and I
am sure is mine in Translating his Works. You are throughly acquainted
with _Glauber’s Writings_, you know his Menstruums, and his Medicines,
and are able to attest the truth of what others may account false
and impossible. As for such of them as concern the higher Classes of
Chymistry, I shall say nothing (being yet but _ad Corinthum vergens_)
but commit them to your Mature Judgment, and Protection, humbly craving
your pardon for this my presumption, and for what Errors or Oversights
I may have committed in this Work; and desiring your Favourable
Acceptance of these my poor Endeavours. I take leave to conclude with
a passage of the abovementioned Excellent =Mundanus=. _I am fully
perswaded, that by the Blessing of God upon your Sagacious Labours, you
will at length obtain that which will abundantly Compensate your Pains
and Cost._ To which I adjoin my own hearty Wishes; and that after you
have been as happy in this World, as true Philosophy can make a Man,
you may be Eternally Happy in that which is to come.
I am
_SIR_,
_An Honourer of_
_Your Name and Learning_,
CHRISTOPHER PACKE.
THE
PREFACE
TO THE
READER.
_That the Art of =Chymistry= is very useful and highly serviceable
in Physick, Chyrurgery, Husbandry, and Mechanick Arts, is long since
evinced by the Excellent Mr. =Boyl= (the Honour both of our Age and
Country) in his Experimental Philosophy, or Philosophick Essays; who in
=Essay I. and II.= shews that the Examination of the Juices of Human
Bodies, by the Art of =Chymistry=, may illustrate their Use and Nature.
And that by it may be Explicated the Nature of our several Digestions,
and their Aberrations. And afterwards =Cap. VIII. pag 194.= speaking
of the advantages that =Chymistry= affords to the =Therapeutick= or
=Curative= part of Physick, (which is the chief and principal), and
to which all the other parts are subservient) is pleased to express
himself thus_: I cannot but think that if _Chymistry_ did no more
than assist us, by the resolution of Bodies, to extricate their more
active parts, and partly by such Resolutions, and partly by associating
Bodies together, to alter the former Texture of Natures productions,
or present us with new Concretes of new Textures; by this very
means, if Men want not Curiosity and Industry, to vary and prosecute
Experiments, there must necessarily arise such a store of new and
active Medicines, that in all probability, many of them will be found
endow’d with such vertue as have not been (at least in that degree)
met with, in the usual Medicines, whether Simple or Compound, to be
bought in Apothecarys Shops; and consequently, even without any notable
discovery, or improvement of Principles, Chymists (even as Matters now
stand with them) may considerably add to the Pharmaceutical part of
Physick. But if the Operations of _Chymistry_ were seriously enquired
into, and throughly understood, I make little doubt, but by a skilful
Application of them, and especially by a series of them, in a Rational
and Orderly way succeeding one another, there may be found out a great
many preparations of Remedies, both very different from the common
Ones, and far more Noble than they. _And presently after he adds._
That if we had but a few Potent Menstruums to dissolve and unlock
Bodies with, I scarce know what might not be done in _Chymistry_.
_Then further in that =Essay= where he treats of the usefulness of
=Chymistry= to the Empire of Man over the Inferiour Works of Nature;
he proceeds to shew that =Chymistry= is very serviceable to Husbandry
in all its parts, and to other professions that serve to provide Men
with Food or Raiment, or do otherwise minister to the Necessities or
Accomodations of Life, as =Bakers=, =Brewers=, =Dyers=, &c._
_Thus far this Learned =Philosopher=: To which I shall only add
this, That if when he wrote those Essays, =Chymists= were able to
contribute so much to the Necessities and Conveniences of Mankind, when
=Chymistry= was but young in =England=, and but few Chymists who were
accurate in their Operations, and perhaps, fewer who had any competency
of Learning, or so much as lightly Tincted with the =Hermetick
Philosophy=; if, I say, that it discovered so great a light when it
had but newly ascended our Horizon, and was, as I may say, but in its
Infancy, what assistance may now be had from it, when (notwithstanding
all the Obstacles, and unkind usage it hath met withal) it is grown
to a more virile Age and Vigour: But although =Chymistry= be much
enlarged, and advanced in =England=, in respect of the Numbers, and
Qualifications of the Lovers, and professors of it; yet are not
Chymists free from pressing Disadvantages, not having the freedom of
administring their own Medicines, how powerful and salutiferous soever,
and otherwise adapted to the Necessities of the Sick, than the common
=Apparatus= of Physick. So, that as the Case now stands, the help and
Succour which the Sick and Diseased receive from Chymical Physick,
is but very small to what they might have, if knowing Chymists had
the freedom of exercising that Art in all its parts, which with much
Industry, Labour, and Costs, they have been sollicitous to attain. But
when this disincouragement of ingenuity and Obstacle of the publick
good, shall become more apparent to those in whose power it is to
redress it, I do not doubt but it will meet with a Remedy._
_But now, to give some account of my present undertaking. I have at
length (by God’s help, and the assistance of my Subscribers) finished
my Translation of =Glauber=’s =Works=, and here present it to the
Reader, in the =English= Tongue. How well I have performed it, I
must submit to the judgments of others: I could have been very glad
to have seen it done by some abler hand; but when I have heretofore
proposed the doing but of some parts of it to those whom I knew might
easily have accommodated =English= Artists therein; telling them that
I wondered so Excellent an Author, should be so long extant, and that
none should unveil him of his =Latin= and =German= Coverings, and put
him into an =English= Dress. I have had for answer, That this Age was
not worthy of it; so that it seems to me, that the Providence of God
had reserved it for fitter times, although to be done by one of the
meanest of the Sons of =Pyrotechny=. But this I can say, that I have
acquitted my self in this matter, as well as the slenderness of my
Parts, weakness of Body, and the necessary Affairs of my Laboratory
would permit me; but_
----Ubi desint Vires, acceptanda est Voluntas.
_I desire the Lovers of =Chymistry= to accept my Labours, with the same
good will that I have undergone them, having no other end but to serve
my Country. And I hereby return thanks to all those generous spirited
Gentlemen and others, who have Subscribed to, and promoted this Work,
without whose assistance (the Charge being very great, as well as the
labour (to me) almost insupportable) it must yet have remained hid and
unserviceable to the =English= Reader. But I am in an especial manner
obliged to that publick spirited Gentleman (whom I ought to name, were
it lawful to do it without his leave) who freely offered me and put
into my hands a not inconsiderable part of the Materials for this Work,
which part also had been more considerable than it was, had not the
Spirit of some, (who unjustly hinder’d it) been as Mean and Sordid,
as his was Generous. But that Loss was, in part, made up to me, by a
well-minded Artist, to whom I also return Thanks._
_I have Printed this Book upon far better and larger Paper than I
proposed to do it in; for at the time of setting forth my first
Proposals, I had not the =German= Pieces, but when they came to my
hands, upon a more accurate computation of the matter, I found that
if I should go on to do the Work upon the Paper I had proposed, the
Book would swell to too great a thickness for its breadth and length,
and not be only ill shaped, but inconvenient to be read. By this means
my Subscribers have a much better Book than I promised them, although
the Charge hath also been Considerably greater to me, than I at first
expected._
_The Reader hath all here in one Volumn which =Glauber= ever Printed,
as far as I can find upon diligent Enquiry at =Amsterdam=, where all
his Writings were Printed, and where I purchased the Original Copper
Plates belonging to them. But whereas, as ’tis said in the =Explication
of Miraculum Mundi=, page 177. That the Cut there described was not
Printed in the Latin Copies, nor to be found among the Original Plates;
yet notwithstanding, I was unwilling that the Work should go without
the Figure of so useful a Furnace as that is, for the Torrefying,
or Calcining of Ores, and separating, and depurating their Metals,
for which reason I have caused it to be Delineated and Printed with
others before the =Continuation of Miraculum Mundi=, after page 188.
I have also procured from the hand of another Friend, who is a Lover
of Art, the Draught of the Refrigeratory, Furnace, or Instrument,
which serves for the making the =Mercury of Wine=, purifying, and
fixing of =Argent-vive=, =Antimony=, =Sulphur=, &c. and many other
uses which an Ingenious Artist will find out. This Furnace the Author
always endeavoured to conceal, but describes it in some part in the
beginning of the sixth part of the =Spagyrical Dispensatory=, to
which Description I have added the Figure. The Figures of the several
Vessels and Instruments belonging to the Fifth Part of the Furnaces,
are referr’d to at the beginning of the Fourth Part, but since, for the
better orders sake I have placed them before the said Fifth Part._
_These Twelve following Treatises were never Printed in =Latin=, but
in the =German= Tongue only, =viz.= The =Third=, =Fourth=, and =Fifth
Centuries=; the =Second= and =Third Appendixes= to the Seventh Part
of the =Spagyrical Dispensatory=. The =Book of Fires.= =Proserpine.=
=Elias the Artist.= =The three Fire-stones.= =The Purgatory of
Philosophers.= =De Lapide Animali.= =The Secret Fire of Philosophers.=
All which I have caused to be Translated (my self being ignorant of the
=German= Tongue) by a person well skill’d both in the =High Dutch=, and
also in =Chymistry=, whereby I hope this Book will not be altogether
unserviceable nor unacceptable even to the Learned; besides, all the
Works of this Author that are in Latin are very difficultly (if at all)
to be met with at any Book-sellers Shop in =London=, and those that
are, at a dear rate: For when I had entered upon this Translation,
I was forced to send to =Amsterdam= to have all the =Latin= pieces
compleat._
_The Author in many places refers to his =Opus Saturni=, =Opus
Vegetabile=, and the =Concentration of Heaven and Earth=, which
Treatises, I am assured, were never printed (at least under those
Titles) which also seems to be manifest from his Epistle to the =First
Century=, or General Appendix, wherein he inculcates, that for want
of time, he had inserted the sum of them all in that Treatise. He
also mentions a Seventh part of the =Prosperity of Germany=, in the
Preface to the Second Part of =Pharmacopœia Spagyrica=, which was never
Printed under that Title, but I am induced to believe it is the =Novum
Lumen Chymicum=, as partly appears by comparing it with the foresaid
Preface. And it is evident that in some parts of his Writings he hath
mentioned a Treatise by one Name, and afterwards Printed it by another,
as, =The Testimonium Veritatis=, which was afterwards Printed by the
Name of =Explicatio Miraculi Mundi=. As for the =Opus Saturni=, I have
heard that there are some Manuscript Copies of it, and had hopes of
obtaining it from two several hands, but both failed me. I have been
also informed, that there are =Five Centuries= in Manuscript more than
I have Printed, but could never understand in what hands they were,
except one of them, =viz.= the sixth, the proprietor of which would not
be so kind as to let me have it to print._
_I have (by the advice of an Honourable Person) left out the Author’s
Religious and Moral Digressions, where I could do it without prejudice
to the matter; as also his Apologetical Writings, except his Apology
against =Farnner=, which I have printed, for as much as it is intermixt
with many profitable Secrets, which perhaps, he would not have
published, at least not at that time if they had not been, as it were,
extorted from him by the ill Treatment of that Ungrateful Man._
_I could not place the several Treatises in that order which the Author
published them, without breaking the order of the several parts, as
of the =Miraculum Mundi=, =Spagyrical Pharmacopœa=, and =Prosperity
of Germany=; for being many years in publishing, they were done
promiscuously, but how they succeeded one another so far as the =Nature
of Salts=, the Reader may satisfie himself in the Preface to that
Treatise. And as his Writings were published by piecemeal, so are the
principal Secrets he teacheth, scattered up and down in divers parts
of them, in one place he treateth of a thing obscurely, or but in
part; in another place of the same thing openly in that part which he
had veiled in the other. Sometimes he declares a Process very openly,
omitting only some small Circumstances, or Manual Operation, which
would seem to many either impertinent, or not necessary to be done,
when notwithstanding, the business will not succeed without it. An
instance of this may be given in his =Sal Mirabilis=, whose preparation
he teacheth obscurely in the =Nature of Salts=, but more openly in the
Second Part of =Miraculum Mundi=. In the =Nature of Salts=, and in the
Sixth Part of the =Pharmacopœia Spagyrica=, he teacheth how to Dissolve
Gold therewith, and thence to make a kind of =Aurum Potabile=, but
wholly omits the adding of a certain Vegetable Sulphur, without which,
the work will not answer the Description; this Defect he supplys in the
=Second Century=, after a twofold manner, the one not obvious to every
Man’s Apprehension, I mean the intent of the Author, =viz.= in those
Processes where he shews the making of a Vegetable Sulphur; but the
other sheweth the necessary Manual Operation in plain and open words.
And this he hath done with all his Secrets on set purpose, that they
should be found out by none but the Industrious._
_And this hath given occasion to many, who have not taken pains to
read him with diligence, or not being experienced in Operating, to
reproach him for an obscure, yea, even for a false Writer, because
they have made two or three Superficial, or Unskilful Trials of his
Processes, which have not succeeded according to their Expectations;
when indeed, the fault was in themselves, either in not perceiving the
Author’s intention, or their own want of skill in rightly managing the
Operation: And I know some Persons that sometime since said =Glauber=
had been too dark in his Writings, who now think he hath wrote too
plain._
_But having mentioned this, I will here (for the sake of those Country
Gentlemen, who have subscribed to this Work) a little Elucidate the
Author’s Process about the inversion of Common Salt, with Lime, for
the enriching of Poor and Barren Land. He indeed speaks of several
Saline Preparations, which greatly promote the fertility of the Earth,
but this with Common Salt, and Lime, is the cheapest of all, and also
is most easie to be done, for any Plowman, or Labourer, having but
once seen it done, may be presently able to manage it. The sum of it
is, that Common Salt be turn’d from its sharpness, into an Alcalizate
Nature (which is hot and fat) which then by its Magnetick force will
attract from the Air a Vivyfying, Fructifying, Salt-nitrous power,
and long retain it in the Earth, which is the cause of all Growth and
Vegetation, as the Author sheweth in the Continuation of =Miraculum
Mundi=, and many other places; but gives the Process of the preparation
in plain and open words in the Appendix to the Fifth Part of the
=Prosperity of Germany=, page 416._
_Neither is the practice of preparing either the Land, or the Seed, in
order to the better Crop, altogether Novel, as may partly be seen in
=Virgil, Georgic Lib. 1.= where he saith,_
Semina vidi equidem multos medicare serentes,
Et Nitro prius, & nigra perfundere amurca;
Grandior ut fœtus siliquis fallacibus esset, _&c._
Which in _English_ may sound thus:
_Some have I seen their Seeds to sow prepare,
With Nitre and Oyl-Lees, for they by care
Will grow far greater, and be sooner ripe,_ &c.
_The Lime must be spread upon the ground, where no Rain can come to
it, till it slake it self by the Air, and fall into a Powder; of this
Powder you are to take four hundred weight to one hundred weight of any
common foul Salt, which is too impure for the use of the Kitchen, where
such may be had, otherwise clean Salt, (for that will be cheaper than
Dung) the Salt and Lime are to be well mixed, and then moistened with
such a quantity of Water, (or rather Urine where it may be had) as will
bring the Lime and Salt mixed, to the Consistency of a stiff Mortar.
Of this Mass Balls are to be made about the bigness of ones Fist, and
laid under a Shead, or Hovel to dry; being dried, they are to be burnt
in a Kiln as Lime is, so that the Balls may be red hot for an hour at
least; or where no Lime-Kiln is near, they may be burnt by building a
Pile in the Field, first with a Lay of Wood, then a Lay of Balls, then
Wood again, and so till all the Balls are placed fit for burning. When
the Balls are burnt, they are to be again placed upon a Floor under a
Shead, or Hovel, where they may be exposed to the Air, but kept free
from the Rain, and if you break them with a Clod-beater presently, the
Air will the sooner act upon them, and cause them again to fall into
a Powder; which Powder may then be carried out and spread, or rather
sowed out of a Seedlet, thicker or thinner as the Land shall require.
Provided this be done in the beginning of Summer about the time of
Fallow, for that being many Months before the Seed is to be sowed, the
fieryness of this rich Compost will be Contemperated by the Air and the
Earth, and changed into a Nitrous fatness, which joining it self with
the Earth, is again Magnetically attracted by the Seed when it is sown,
whose growth it thereby swiftly promoted, and its Multiplication much
augmented. But if any should cast this Matter upon his Land soon after
it is burnt, and presently after that should sow his Seed, instead of
having a greater Crop than he used to have, he would have a less, or
perhaps none, that Year, but the next Year, and soon for many Years,
the same Land would bring forth plentifully. Therefore it is necessary,
that this Matter should lie six or seven Months spread upon a Floor,
and now and then turn’d with a Shovel, as you turn Malt, that it may be
Contempered, and Animated by the Air; or be cast upon the Land so long
before the Seed be sown. The reason is the very same as with Dung, for
none takes fresh Dung and spreads it upon his Land when he is about to
sow his Seed, for if he should, his Seed would be burnt up; but the
Husbandman lets his Dung lie some time to rot, as he calls it, after
which he lays it on his Land, and lets it lie spread some time before
he Plows it in, and all this is but to Contemper the heat of the Animal
Salt contain’d in the Dung, and turn it into a Nitrous Nature. Thus
much I thought good to say about this Matter in the plainest words,
least any, not throughly understanding the Author’s Intention, should
erre in the first Experiment, and so unjustly blame the Author, and
forbear themseldes and deterr others from prosecuting that easie
Practice, which I am confident, if rightly managed, will bring much
profit to many persons in this Nation. This must also of necessity be
a profitable Work to those who will undertake it upon the account of
making of =Salt-petre=; especially to such as understand the Nature
and Generation of that Excellent salt, which is of such incomparable
use in the Preparation of Medicines, separating of Metals, and in many
Mechanick Arts._
_Now for as much as in this Work =Sal Mirabilis=, =Spirit of Nitre=,
and =Spirit of Salt=, are recommended to very many uses, and every
one that hath a mind to make Experiments with them, may not have the
knowledge, or the conveniency of preparing them, I hereby signifie,
that I intend (God willing) to prepare and keep by me the Author’s
=Sal Mirabilis= of both sorts, that peculiar =Spirit of Salt=, which
he commends against the Scurvy and other Diseases, and also to keep
Beer from sowring in the Summer, in the =Consolation of Navigators=.
His =Panacea of Antimony=, and =Golden Panacea=, spoken of in the
Second Part of the =Pharmacopœia Spagyr.= the =Explication of Miraculum
Mundi=, and divers other places. His =Aurum Diaphoreticum=, also the
=Tincture of Gold=, or =Aurum Potabile=, are described to be made
of the =Irreducible Blood of the Lyon=, in the Sixth part of the
=Spagyrical Pharmacopœia=, Chap. 22. These I purpose constantly to keep
by me for the accommodating of Physicians, and others, who shall have
occasion to buy them. Those are Excellent Medicines, and such as a
Physician may have some confidence in; and indeed, this Book contains a
great variety of such Medicines as will get a Physician Honour, which
(I hope) will be tryed by all those who delight to do good, and be
brought into use for the general Help and Comfort of the sick. For I
freely confess, that if I have any thing in Medicine, beyond what is
commonly known, I have had the Foundations of it from this Author; and
if God shall please to grant me life to a fit time, I doubt not but I
shall from those Foundations be able to raise such a Superstructure as
shall testifie the truth of his Writings, and powerfully evince the
Worth and Excellency of Chymical Medicines, and that demonstratively
in matter of Fact, =viz.= by the Curing of both Acute and Chronick
Diseases._
_And now by way of Conclusion, I have only one thing more to add;
and that is a Request to all the Ingenious Lovers of Chymistry, that
they would not occasion this Work which I have undergone with so much
labour, and loss of time from my private Concerns, meerly for the good
of others, to redound to my own hurt; my meaning is, That I might not
be put to the charge and trouble of Letters about Curious Enquiries,
wherein I am to have not the least profit: This I mention, because
I have had divers such Letters come to my hands since I have been
about it, and that sometimes two or three very long ones with many
Queries, in one Week. Now should this continue, and I endeavour to
satisfie all the Doubts, and gratifie all the Curiosities of all such
non-considering persons, truly I should have no time besides what this
would take up, to provide for my self and Family. But notwithstanding
what I have said, if any Ingenious Person shall stand in need of my
Assistance, in preparing of any thing for him, or otherwise, wherein
I may have a reasonable recompence for my Time and Trouble, I will be
ready to give him the best assistance I can. For I am now but just
ready to receive a Writ of Ease from three Years daily labour and
care about this Work, and I would be willing to enjoy it some time,
that I might again with diligence apply my self to my Laboratory, the
effects of which, if God shall see good, may at one time, or other,
shew themselves to the World. In the mean time, I wish all Honest
and Ingenious Lovers of the Spagyrick Art, good success in their
Studies and Labours, that thence the Penuries and Miseries of Mankind,
especially of the sick, may be effectually remedied; that they may
Cooperate as Instruments with the great ends and providences of the
Almighty, to bring about that time, in which God shall be Glorified all
the World over, and Men live in a more serene and tranquil condition
than yet they have done, which shall always be the Desire and Prayers
of him that is a Lover of =Pyrotechny=, and Honourer of all true
Artists._
