Also

The juice of Matthias his

parts, is converted into a sweetness

easily putrifying; whence,

under the Skin of Arms and leg,

arise watery Tumours, almost

such as are conspicuous in Dropsical

Persons; but in time of the

Pest, they are Pestilential Tumours.

Also,

The juice of the parts of Luke,

is changed into a Saline, and drying

sharpness; whence, under the

Skin of the Arms and Legs, arise

Precipitations of the ordinary Ferment

of the Flesh, and Exficcations,

as usually happens in this

Atrophia, yea most frequently in

the true Atrophia. But in the Pest,

they become most ardent Buboes,

with madness, even until death.

Behold, my Friend, no Physician,

by one only Universal Medicament,

can heal the Evil of

this Scorbutick, or Pestilential, or

Febrile Venome, but indeed, by

the Mediation of some particular

Vegetable, or Mineral Remedy,

given to us from God in Nature, he

may exterminate the same. For,

as I cannot heal, or help all Scorbutick

Persons, with one only Scorbutick

Herb, as Scurvy-grass, or

Sorrel, or Fumitory, or Brooklime;

so, much less of a certain

remedy made of these diverse Species

congested into one; because,

between the Herbs Scurvy-grass and

Sorrel, there is an Antipathy, as

between Fire and Water; and so

there is the same Antipathy

between the Herbs Fumitory and

Brook-lime.

Therefore, the Correctory of

Peters Scorbutick Saline acid

tinging Venome, is made with the

Volatile bitter Salt of Scurvy-grass.

But the Correctory of Pauls

Scorbutick Saline bitter tinging

Venome, is made with the acid

fixed Salt of the Herb Sorrel.

The Correctory of Matthias his

Scorbutick sweetish, and moistning

tinging Venome is made by the help

of the fixed bitter drying Sulphur

of the Herb Fumitory.

And the Correctory of Lukes

Scorbutick tinging Saline and

drying Venome, is made with the

help of the sweet moistning Mercury

of the Herb Brook-lime, or

red Colewort, as from the External

Signature of these Herbs, it is

easie to judge of the Internal Specifick

Remedy against there diverse

Scorbutick Disease. Certainly,

my Friend, if this be observed

by a prudent Physician, he

must needs doubt of the Universal

Medicine,

Artist.

All you have discoursed of, I

can easily grant; yet very few

Physicians use this Method of

healing. Yet, in the meanwhile,

it is not impossible, that an Universal

Medicine should be given in

the highest Mineral Kingdome,

by the benefit of which we may

perform and administer all things,

which are by you related to me,

touching the lowest Kingdom of

Vegitables; but the most wise God,

for several weighty reasons, hath

not on all Philosophers promiscuously

conferred this most magnificent

Charisma of Supereminent

Science, but hath revealed it only;

to a very few. According as all

the Adept, with one mouth, confess,

and say: The Science is true,

And, the verity thereof not to be

doubted.
