¶The Prologue of Laurence andrew the Translatour•.

AFter dyuers & sondry small volumes & tryfeles of mytth & p••¦taūce / Som newly composed / some translated and of late finis¦shed / Now mynded to excercise my pen̄e in mater to the rede¦som what more {pro}fytable / I haue chosen amonge all other the booke of distyllacyon of waters / wrytten by the thyrty yere labour of master Iherom Beunswyke / to Translate into En∣glysshe. Not thinkynge (thoughe paraduenture some in that parte will take it) that my knowlege in these two tongues is suche that I of all other to this Translacion sholde be moste mete / but only beynge moued with na∣turall loue vnto my contre / whiche surely shold want if I were able to perform• it / no profytablebooke for lacke of a Translatoure / that is in an other language wrytten. For me thynke where the masters in all Science expert wyll take no su¦che paynes / it is nat dyscomēdable for a man of more base lernyng to putte to his helpyng hande. It is na olde saynge / though power often doth fayle / A wyllynge harte is to be accepted. The whiche onys well remembred. Spare not fauourable reder to pursue and reuolue to thy synguler helthe / conforte / and lernynge / this booke of distyllacyon. Lerne the hygh and meruelous vertue of herbes / knowe how inestimable a preseruatyue to the helth of man god hath prouyded growyng euery daye at our hande / vse the effectes with reuerence / and giue thankes to the maker celestyall. Beholde how moch it excedeth to vse medecyne of efycacye na∣turall by god ordeyned then wicked wordes or charmes of efycacye vnnaturall by the dyuell enuented. whiche yf thou doste well marke / thou shalt haue occasy¦on to gyue the more louynges & praise to oure fauyour / by redynge this boke and knowlegyng his benyfites innumerable / To whose prayse / and helthe of all my crysten bretherne / I haue taken vpon me this symple translacyon / with all hum¦ble reuerence / euer redy to submit me to the correccion of the lerned rede•

¶Here fynyssheth the table of this pre∣sent boke. and here after folo¦weth the fyrste parte of the same volume

¶Here begynneth the fyrst part of this o•e / wher in is comprehendyd the no∣ble scyence & the trewe dystyllacyons of waters / and other dyuers thynges arty∣••cyallys (Book 1)

¶The fyrste chaptre shewyth what dys¦tyllacyon is. Ca. i.

IN the fyrst it is nedefull to be expressyd and she∣wed what dystyllyng is for it belōgeth to all ma¦ner of people to vnder∣stande and knowe the cause of that thynge that they begynne or enterpryse to worke vpon / to the en∣tente that he maye haue a perfyt know∣lege of suche workes as he begynneth / how he maye brenge it to a good ende.

¶Wherfore it is to be vnderstande that dystyllyng is none other thyng / but one¦ly a puryfyeng of the grosse from the sub¦tyll / & the subtyll frome the grosse / eche seperatly from other / & to the entēt that the corruptyble shall be made incorrup∣tyble / and to make the materyall inma¦teryall / & the quycke spyryte to be made morequycker / bycause it sholde the soner perce & passe thrugh by the vertue of his great goodnes and strengthe that there in is sonke and hydde for the cōceyuyng of his helthfull operacyon in the body of man / for Dystyllacyon is an elementall thyng / for thrugh the mouynge of the na¦turall heuyns / eueryone muste be natu∣rally gouerned by the bodyes aboue ly∣kewise the body of man thrugh an exper¦te mayster in medecyne / and thrugh the waters that ther ben deuyded from the grossenes of the herbes eche in his substā¦ce / & that to be cōueyed to the place most nedefull for helth & cōfort / lyke as here af¦ter more dylygently shall be declared.

¶Wherfore dystyllynge is founde and ordeynened Ca. ii.

DYstyllynge is necessaryly founde and ordeined for many maner of necessytees / and specyally for the loue of man hym for to kepe in helth & strengthe and to brynge the seke and weke body agayne to helthe / and to the entent that the grosse and corruptyble body maye be agayn clensed and puryfyed / for who so euer taketh herbes / rotes / or other sub∣staunces and stampe them / the iuce ther of strayned and mynystred is not sightly whiche many one therfore dothe them ab¦horre / bycause of the inconuenyent syght

¶Secondaryly with waters dystyl¦lyd / all maner of confeccyons / syropys / powders / & electuaryes be myxced to the entēt that they sholde be the more syghtly & doulcet to be ministred receyued & vsed Also this dystyllynge is onely founde for the comon people that dwelle farre from medycynes & physycyons / & for them that ben not able to paye for costely medyey∣nes / the whiche hath moued me greatly this my lytel worke to opene & disclose for helth of mā & {pro}sperite of myne euē cryste.

¶Thyrdely ¶The dystyl∣lynge is ordeyned / bycawse that whanne ony medecyne is mynystred wyth her cor¦pus or substaūce in the maner of electua∣ryes / cōfeccyons / powders / or syropys / or any medycynes with etynge / or swalo∣wynge downe / or drynkyng / or in what maner so euer it be / is Ieoperdus in the

body / bycawse of her substaunce / Of the which Auycē. wryreth in the begīnyng of the fourth Canon / wher as he thrugh the lernynge of ypocras sayth / that eue∣ry medycyne that is vsed with her substā¦cef•ebleth and maketh aged and weke. For the whiche ypocras / Mesue / Arnol∣dus de villa noua / and many other more haue found the noble scyence to separate the grosse and erthy substa•nce from the subtyll thrugh this operacyon / that is na∣med the handworke of dystyllacyon / or bornynge thrughe the Alembyck or hel∣me / and other instrumētes as here after foloweth and to you shall be shewed

¶In howe many maners may be dystylled Ca. iii.

IT is nedefull with shorte cōclusyō to shewe the moste expecte & comō or lyghtyst way of dystyllyng / to the en∣tent that the reder or lerner shold vnder stande me without any murmuracyon or longe rehersyng. Wherfore I haue two maners of wayes wherin is cōprehēdyd in brefe the shortyst way of dystyllacion ¶The fyrst is how it may be done in fy∣ue maner of wayes without any cost.

The second waye with cost onely of fyre and that also in fyue maners

¶The fyrst without cost / is done thrugh a threcorned fylte / named per filrri distil¦lacionē The second maner of the fyrste way is this. A glas fylled vpon another glas tourned with the bottom vpward / & well stopped / set or so hāgyd in the son¦ne / is named per solis distillacionem

The thyrde of the fyrst waye is / A glas fyllyd & well stoppyd wrought in dowgh and so set in the ouen whan the brede is baking / & is named {per} panis distillacionē

The fourthe maner of the fyrste waye is / A glas the thyrde parte fyllyd / well stoppyd / and buryed in horse downge / & is named / per fim• equi distillacionem.

The fyfte maner of the fyrste waye is A glas fyllyd well stoppyd buryed in an antehyll / named {per} formice distillacionē.

¶The fyrste maner of the seconde waye is of the dystyllynge with fyre / as thus. A glas reasonably fyllyd and set in wa∣ter / vnder it a fyre made / & ther vpō an helme or Alēbick set / named distillacio {per} balneū marie or distillacio in duplovase

The second maner of the seconde way is / ye shall put to the same water that the glas standeth in / horse downge / thā shall it be named / distillacio per ventrem equinum.

The thyrde maner of the second way is / Set your glas in a capell wher as syfted asshes be in / named distillacio per Sineres. The fourthe maner of the seconde waye is / ye shall put sande for as¦shes in the capell where as the glas shall stande in / & is called distillacio {per} arenam

The fyfte maner of the seconde way is / ye shall set boldely the glas vpō the fyre / & nothyng betweyn the fyre and it but onely an yron grate or an yron tre∣uet / and is named distillacio per ignem.

¶How ye shal dystylle in sande / named dystyllacyo per arenam.

THis chapyter is ordred in euery condycyons lyke as the chapytre spekynge of the dystyllynge in the asshes saue onely the glasses nede to be better as venys glasses is there to best / and also the glasses must be stro•glyer suted / and for the asshes / ye must take pure syfted sā¦de / and as ye telle one two thre be the clocke / so softely must your droppys fall and thus ye must order your selfe yf ye wyll haue the trew way of dystyllacyon for it is the hyest degre in heet of all dy∣styllacyons / wherfore take hede that ye make nat to sharpe a fyre / for yf ye do youre warkers wyll brenne and stynke and your glasses wyll beest. Also ye shall neuer dystyll your herbes so drye out of all moysture in the asshes or the sande as ye may do in valneo marye / or in ventre equyno.

The coperē be somtyme occupyed in bal∣neo marye olso / Somtyme they be set in asshes or sande / and they must be luted more than the two other partes. Whan ye wyll put any thynge in glasse or in any other instrumētis of what nature so euer the substaunce be / wet your clouthe in your lutun or claye / and wynde your glasses therin twyes or thryes rounde aboute. And whan ye wyll dystylle oyle or ony such lyke / than ye must enoynte it with youre forsayde lu•um two ynches thycke / yet it wyll s•antly holde.

¶How ye shall dystylle in the sonne na¦med per solis distilacionem. Ca .ix.

THe secōde maner to dystyll with out fyes which may be done with oute coste as thus / ye shall take a glasse that shall be almooste as wyde aboue as beneth named an vrynalle / or lyke this fygure about The two partyes of this glasse shall be fylled with blossom of flou¦res / as roses / violettes / or other blosso¦mes / or suche lyke / than shall ye make a small crosse of woden styckes and laye that vpon the mouth of the glasse thā ma¦ke an other crosse of smalle styckes som∣what longer than the other that mai be bent crosse wyse euer the other streyght within the glasse to make them both sure than tourne the mouth of the glas dow¦ne wardys vpon the mouthe of such and the glas / that the mouthe of it maye be somwhat within the fyrst glas / than lu∣re them well togyder that there come no¦ne ayre out / than hange thē in the hotest

¶How ye shall dystyl in hote brede with man ouen / named per panis distillatio∣nem.

THus shall ye dystylle in an ouen. Take a flatte flacron or botell of glas / & put it full of roses or other floures or pyssemer eggys / or ony other blossom / than stoppe the glas faste with a woden stoppell / and couer the glas ouer all / as yf it were a lofe and putte it in the ouen / whan ye put other brede therin and dra¦we it oute agayne with that same brede whan it is baken / and let it cole by hym selfe / and whan the brede is colde thā bre¦ke it softely of / sauynge the glasse frome brekynge than pull out the stoppell / and put it in another suche glas / and order it as the other glas was / so often tyll it be ynoughe. Ysit be not pute than and cle¦ne ynoughe ye may dystylle it perfiltrum yf ye wyll. And these two maners be ve¦ry good to dystylle of flowres the waters seruynge for the •yen.

THe .vii. maner is thus to dystyl in the horse bely / ye shal set the glas fylled in the for named maner in Balneo Marie / as befor is sayd but in the wate• ye shall put horse tordes / takyng good be¦de that there be no strawe nor haye ther¦in / and that the water be so thycke of the horse tordes as yf it were wortys. Ye muste also take hede that ye put often ty∣mes warme water in it / for it is sone con¦sumed & wastyd away / and this is halfe a degre hoter than in balneo marie / ther¦fore ye may dystylle hardes substaunces in it than in balneo marie

¶How ye shall dystylle in asshes / named Dystyllacyo per Sineris Ca .xv

Vhe .viii. maner is ye shall strewe fyne syfted asshes in a cappel. iiii ynchs of thyckenes / than fyll a glas the thyrde parte full with suche substaunce as ye wyll / and set it in the asshes / than fyll the cappelle full of asshes tyll the thyrde parte of the glas be couered / and the cap∣pelle wher as the asshes be in shal be ofer the / for yf it were of copper / thrughe the force and hete of the fyre it wolde melte. After that set the alembycke vpō the glas and lute it well vpon it with lutum sapi¦encie as I haue shewed you before in the v. chapitre Than make fyre vnder it that it may droppe treatably as yf you wolde tell the clock .i. ii. that thā ther fall a drop¦pe / and so continue after the same soft ma¦ner / for yf it fall faster or quycker the fyre is to great therfore stoppe the wynde ho∣lys aboue and benethe / thā it shal fall the softer and brenne the lesse / and so it shall smell the lesse of the fyre / Whan it drop∣peth no more than let the glasse stande a hole nyghte a colynge or euer ye moue or styre it / or ellys it wolde breke a sonder

THe tenthe maner is this to dystyl so that ther be nothyng betwene the glas• and the fyers•lyke as a∣qua fortis and other stronge waters be dystylled. To this dystyllacyon is ne∣cessary for you to haue a treuet ī the myd¦dest of the formys with the .iii. fete maso∣ned in the wall of it / And the glasse must be made of venys shyue glas. That glas shall be on the out syde well lutyd a gre∣te ynche of thycknesse. and after that ye shall fyll the thyrde parte of youre glas / whiche shall be also well enoynted with suche claye as befor hath bene spoken of / Than shall ye enoynte youre fornays in the same maner / And after that ye shall set the alembyk on your glas and se that it be well luted / than ye shall set a recep∣tacle or viole so that the pype of the alem¦bycke hange within it / and than it must be well lutyd therin

And let your glas stande colynge by hym selfe, or it be taken out

¶How ye shall dystylle in comon stylla¦toryes / named Rosgarlādys or helmets as here is fygured. Ca .xviii.

Than lay therin suche thynges as ye wil dystylle / and set the helme vpon it. Than make a longe small lynen cloth wette in thynne claye tempeted as before is sayd / with the same clothe ye shall stoppe youre styllatorye betwene the helmete and the panne / than set a glas before it that the pype therof maye hange in the glas / and lute it well that none ayre come oute of the glas / thus dystyll and marke thrugh the glas how the dropes fall therin / acor∣dinge to the same temper your fyre / great or small as it behoueth & whan ye se that it droped no more / than it is tyme to bre∣ke it vp agayn / and put other herbes ther¦in. Whan ye wyll haue moche water out of lytell herbys. Than laye the her¦bys thre ynches thycke vpon eche other in the panne / flowres shall be layde .vi. ynches thycke / & fruytes .ii. ynches thyc∣ke / for yf it laye thycker vpon eche other / than is the moystoure of the vndermoste herbes dyssolued or euer it can be subly∣med thrughe the vppermoste / wherfore / whā I wyl dystylle costely herbes which ben nat easy to gette / as maioran / rosema¦re flowres / or other suche lyke. Than I thynke nat my laboure loste nor tedy∣ous to laye but a lytell in at ones / for the labour and coste is dowble recompensyd ye shall vnderstande that all maner of waters whiche be dystylled in glasses be the beste Nexte vnto them those which be dystylled in erthen vessels and be wel le∣dyd with erthen pannis vnder & helmets aboue as the potters full well can ma∣ke. After tynē helmets aboue and leden pannes vnder / After that leden helmets and pannys / as I haue sene occupye in howsys of relygyon at Straesborowe in hye Almayn / wheras they made theyre fyre with wode / but it was very smal for scare of meltynge of theyr leden panne whiche stode vpon syfted asshes an hande full hye and nat in sande / After that cop∣per helmets ouertinne within / After that brasōne helmets but alway the cop∣peren helmets be to feare / and specyally the brason helmets / for two maner of cau¦ses / the fyrste is the water that in them is dystylled comunly borneth and smelleth of the fyre / and hath a reed colour lyke wyne that is dede in hym selfe. The seconde cawse is. for the copper and bras∣se hath alwaye a maner of a goute & pal∣sey pendynge vnto hym more than any o∣ther metall whiche gyueth occasyon that euery one sholde therof beware / as Chri∣stophorus de honestis testyfyeth super An¦tydotacio mesue,

¶How you shall dystylle in general eche accordynge to his nature. Ca .xix.
TO all maner of people that wyll occupye and vse the acte or scyen∣ce of dystyllacyon it is ryght nedefull for them to knowe whan they wyll dystylle ought what maner of way is most conue¦niēt therfore / to the entēt that it lese not his strēgth & goodnes of cōple•yō & prop∣tye but that it be the bet• drawē & brou∣ghte ī to the water as farre as it is possy¦ble & cōuenyēt for it is nat possyble that •

•nybody l••ynge sholbe brynge all thi∣••es to purpose after his mynde & wyll: •ent onely God that hath created heuyn & erthe / and all thynges that is there in There fore it is to be regardyd that all •aner of flowrys and blossoms whereof is but lytell to gette / and is very scarce / is moste conuenyent to be dystylled in Alembyk or Alembicum of glas in bal∣•e• Marie / and in none other vessell.

¶Also your flowres or blossoms that ye wyll dystylle / muste be plucked whanne they be fully rype / but yet or they fall / or fade her colour / or than they marde and de•resse / and they shall be layde softe and lyght in the glas / as I reherse to you be fore in the .xiii. chapytre in Balneo Ma∣rie / or in the .xiiii. chapytre in Vētre equi¦no / And whan that water is clene dys∣tylled / it is rectyfyed after warde in the son / as to you more playnly shall be she∣wed here after in the .xxi. chapytre. But whan ye wyll haue the water more strō∣ger and better / thā ye must take the flou∣res that the water is dystylled of / and put them in a glas named Circulatoriū• as before is shewed in the .xi. chapytre▪ And cast vpon them the same water dy∣stylled of the same and selfe floures / than stoppe the glas agayn surely / and sette it in pure horse donge a .xiiii. dayes & nygh¦tes or more. or in Balneo Marie .ii. or .iii. dayes and nyghtes. and lette it so dyl∣gest in hym selfe / Than put it agayne in the fyrst glas / and dystylle it ones again in Balneo Marie / and the oftener that ye so do the purer and more nobler and excelenter it wylle be in strengthe and vertue.

¶Yf you wyll dystylle herbes they shall be gadered in season conuenient or euer the seues fade or chaunge theyr natural colour. Also they shall not be gadered whan they be wet with rayne / but whā they be drye in sayre weder and clere / as •po•tas and Auycenna testyfyeth▪

¶In the thyrd part of this boke I wyl shewe to you the tyme and season whan all the herbes sholde be dystylled that in this boke shall be specyfyed. Ye shall stto¦pe the herbes an leues frome theyr ste¦lys and stalkys / and choppe them smal / and than ye shal chop the stelts and sta•¦kes by them selfe also / & than ye shal put them agayn togyder with theyr herbys or leuys / and ye shal put it thā in a glas or helmet / and so dystyll it in vētre equ•∣no / or ī sinere / whā it is so distilled thru¦ghe helmet or glas / than it shal be recty¦fyed as I shall shewe yow here after in the .xxi. chapytre. ¶Ye shall vnderstand that to dystyll herbes or floures wyllyn¦ge therof to haue the sent and odoure of the herbes or flowres that it is dystylled of / the distillaciō therof shal be ordred in two or thre maners of ways. The fy•s• is ordred and dystylled in ventre equi∣no / or in balneo marie / so that the wa∣ter be no hotte but that you may suffer your finger therin. Another maner / pou¦re the water alredy dystylled vpon the sayde herbes agayn / or ellys putryfye it or it be dystylled as befor is shewed you of the floures in this presente chapytre / The herbes and the 〈◊〉 maye comon∣ly suffer stronger fyre than the flowres wherfore they may be dystylled in vētre equino / which is halfe a degre hoter thā in balneo marie / and asshes more hotes & the sande ••est. ¶Whan ye wyl distil

any rotes they must be gadred in the hoū¦des dayes / or in diebus canicularibus / that is in the canykeler dayes whan the leues begynne to fall. The rotes must be wasshed clene / and the water dryed of a∣gayne / and so chopped small and broken than put in a panne / or in a glas / and so dystylle it thrugh an helme or glas / as be¦fore is rehersed. ¶The fourthe ma∣ner whan ye wyll dystylle any superfluy∣tees of fowles or bestes / as egges / blode / lyuer / longues / cowtorde / or any suche that is thycke of substaunce / ye shall chop¦pe them small and dystylle them in ven∣tre equino and not well stopped for ellys the water becometh stinkyng / but yf it do become stynkyng / ye shal it dystylle agay¦ne in balneo marie / for cowtorde water of the fyrste dystyllacyon is seldome with¦out stynche / but melke or hony / maye be stopped and at the fyrst tyme well dystyl∣led. ¶The .v. who so desyres to distil wa¦ter of fleshe / he shall kyll it be it beste or fowle / or ellys worowe it that no blode yssue frome hym / after that and yf it ha∣ue any fatte or grese take it awaye than take the flesshe & chopped it small & dystyl¦le it in ventre equino with softe fyre / to the intente that the water do not stynke or smelle of the fyre / for sodenly therof co¦meth a greate stenche / wherfore all suche waters may be .ii. dystylled for therwith it is greatly amēdyd. ¶Also whā ye wyl dystylle any fruytes as plommes / peres / apples / slone / medlers / nuttys and suche lyke. ¶They shall be gadered whan they be fully rype / or euer they fall & waxe sof¦te / and they shall be chopped small and stamped than shall it be stylled in an hel¦mer in the sande with so softe fyre that it do not borne / and than it shall be •••¦•tyfyed as I shal shewe to you in the next chapytre folowynge. ¶Item ye shall vn¦derstande that all maner of herbes / flou•¦res / fruytes / or rotes / that ye wyll dystyl• moost conuenyently ought to be gadered in the cressynge of the mone / whan it is fayre weder / acordynge as the tyme re∣quyreth / than they shal be sayre wasshed and well pycked forme all vnclenesse / and than shall they layde a dryenge a ••¦le day / and than it shall be chopped and dystylled as before is specyfyed.

¶How ye shall dystylle & make waters of drye herbes / floures / and rotes / whan the grene can not be gotten. Ca .xx.

IT fortuneth somtyme that ye haue no dystylled water / nor none can gette in no place whan ye behoue it thru¦ghe forgetfulnes of the tyme that is past whan they sholde be dystylled / or ellys thrughe great hete and drowghte by th• whiche the herbes and flowres be beene and wytherd or through great rayne or superfluyte of wettnes / thrugh the which the herbes and flowres be marde and rotten / and also thr water ther of dystyl∣led shall haue lytyll strength or none.

Therfor it is necessary to you for to kno¦we how ye shall dystylle waters of drye herbys / flowres / or rotes / such as ye shal behoue / how be it / it were more profyta∣ble and better of the grene herbys yf it were possyble to gete them. But yf it for∣tuned that ye sholde dystylle the drye her¦bes &c. Ye shall euery yere in the mo¦neth• of maye before the sonne rysynge whan it is fayr weder / and hath not ray¦•ed by nyght / ye shall take a fayr whyte

lynen clothe sprede a brode / & trayled or drawen ouer the gras in a fayre lese or gardyn wher as many fayre herbes and floures stande growynge / The same lese or gardyn where as ye do this in / ought nat to stande on a morysshe or watery grounde / nor in depe valleyes / but vpon hye groūdes as nye as it is possyble / and than shall thys clothe be wrounge out in a glas / and than do so agayn as oftē tyl ye haue ynought This dewe must be thry¦se dystyllyd in balneo Marye / and recty∣fyed as it here after shall be declared in the nexte chaptre folowynge. and so kepe that water from yere to yere / than yf ye lyste to dystylle within the yere any drye herbes / than take suche herbes as is dry¦ed in the shadowe as moch as ye wyll ha¦uynge his naturall sente and odo••/and cast vpon it thre tymes of the fornamede water of dewe so moche that at euery ty¦me the herbes be couered Thā put it in a glas and s•oppe it well / and so put it in horse douge .ii. or .iii. dayes and nyghts After that dystylle it ī balneo marye thre tymes steped / and at euery tyme agayne dystylled / but Albucasis wrytyth ī libro Seruitor that vpon euery poūde of drye floures or herbes shall be powred .x. poū¦de of comon water and so dystyllyd in an helmet / the whiche is not so good as the water before sayde / For I haue rede of an olde erperte phylosopher a doctor ī medecyn / that wolde that the may dewe shold be .ix. times distilled ī balneo marie & that the herbes be gaderd ī the somer ī a dew seasō / & they shalbe clene pycked & the leues stryped from the stalkys or ste∣lys / & layd in a shadowy place on dryeng so that they maye kepe theyr sauoure. Take as muche of these herbes as ye w•l and cast theron thre tymes as moche as the for named maye dewe / ix. tymes dys∣tyllyd dystyll that thre tymes ouer / as before is specified / and that water is bet¦ter than the water dystylled of grene herbes / bycause that onely the flegma of the grene herbes is dystylled. And sayd that the may dewe that hath ben .ix. tymes dystylled draweth the myght and strengthe to hym wardes lykewise as aqua vite / or other dystylled wyne doth. Therfore it were good that euery water shold be cast vpon his owne feces / that is vpō his owne herbes wher as it had ben stylled of / and is putryfyed and agayne dystylled / but yet it ware moche better / that ye sholde powre that water of such ly¦ke herbes before dryed and that so disty∣led and than as I haue wryten before it to be putryfyed in a circulatorium / or in a blynde helmet / named in latyn alē∣bicus cecus / whyche is before fygured in the .ix. chapytre / and so dystylled / it get¦teth greate goodnes and stregnth.

¶How ye shall rectyfye your waters af¦ter they haue ben dystyllyd. Ca .xxi.

NOw after the dystyllynge of the waters it is nedefull that they be rectyfyed / to the intente that the fyre be drawen oute of theym / and the flegma∣tyke nature and complexion be tempera∣ted / And also that they maye the lon∣ger contynue without marrynge / why∣che is often done thrughe the he•e of the sonne / whan the waters be put in to

a glas the two partes therof fyllyd and well stoppyd with ledder and that well surely bounde / The thyrde parte of the glasse shall be set in fyne sande and so in the sonne thr space of sixe wekes in the ca¦nicula•e dayes / or after as the weder is temperate / for the same becometh very hote for to rectyfye the waters from the superfluytees of theyr moystures / lyke¦wyse the waters of fyry nature that be dystylled of spyces & fyrste steped in aqua¦vite a certayn while / theyr superfluytes of colera is nedfull to be tempered of the fyer comple•cyō. For thrugh the great he¦te and drowght / the complexyon of man is often marred and destroyed / be pen¦dynge therto of some maner of gowres. suche lyke waters be rectyfyed thus. The glas shall be faste stopped as before is sayd and the two partes therof shall be set in wet or moyst sande in a cellarx the space of a moneth or more / or lesse as the water requyreth. Or elles dygge a hole in the grounde of a moyst cellar / and set it more than the two partes therin / and so lette it stande as before sayd / for ther with the fyry complexiō is expressely my∣nysshed. Also it fortuneth often tymes whan two maner of waters be myxed to gyder / that they become troblous incon∣tynent and whyte lyke mylke / as whan ye put olde waters in to new / therfore ye shall myxe in two or thre pounde of wa∣ters. vi. or .viii. droppes of good whyte wyne vynegre / Than the trouble some of the waters draweth to the botton and becometh fayre and clere.

¶How and wher the dystylled waters owght to be kepte. Ca. xxii
IT is necessarye and profitable to knowe how and inwhat maner the dystylled waters shall be kepte to the intent that they may the longer abyde in theyr goodnes / and be preserued frome theyr hynderaunces. Fyrst whan the dy∣stylled waters be better dystylled as be¦fore is spececifyed / thā it is nedfull for you to haue stonen pottes with small neckys or pure fyoles with small mouthes well wasshed / specyally with the powder of the herbe named parytaria well my••ed with the wat of it or ashes of the same her¦be & so clēsed as yf they were newe / those vessels alway well stopped with a wo∣den stopell or elles stoppels made of the two partes of waxce / one parte of rosell / torpentyn / and fyne powder of tyle sto∣nes of eche one parte and a halfe / all tho∣se myxed to gyder and molten on the fy∣re but they may not sethe / and whan it is colde make therof theyr stoppelys / and aboue that ye shall bynde ledder very iu∣ste and close / to the intent that the water kepe his nature and strength / thā ye shal wryte about the vessell the name of your water / and the tyme of his destyllacyon▪ Than shall your vessell be it pot or glas∣se be sette in a celler / to the inteut that it do not frese / for whan ony dystylled wa¦ters bene frosen they lese theyr myght / strength / and chaungeth nature / so that ye must pour them out or cast them away Also whan ony water is sette in a hote stewe in the witer it becometh rede / and his power and strengthe is mynysshed / therwr it shall be set in a conuenyēt pla∣ce that is nother to hote / to colde / nor to moyst / to the entent that it abyde the lon¦ger in vertue & strength withouten hyn¦deraunce

or perysshynge.

¶Here after foloweth how lōge ye may kepe youre dystylled waters and whan they must be poured or cast away. Capitulum. .xxiii.
WHan the waters be dystylled / rectyfyed / stopped and kepte in a cōuenyent place / yet it is good and conuenyent to knowe and vnder∣stande how longe those waters may con¦tynue in goodnes / and whan ye shal cast them awaye / how be it that the booke of Nicolao de Atomatibus sheweth that co¦monly euery water ought to be renewed ones ī a yere wher with he meneth that they cā abyde but one yere in theyr good¦nes / whiche can nat be trewe / for it may not be nor is not of necessyte for these cau¦ses folowynge. ¶Fyrste that the herbes / floures / rotes / or frutes ben not yerely to be dystylled / as I haue shewed to you in the .ix. chapytre before / & in the begyn¦nyuge of the .xxi. chapytre.

The fourthe whan they ben euery yere ones set in the sonne the space of fourty dayes or more. The fyfte yf nede requyre eue∣ry yere ones ye shall streyne your water thrught a wollen sacke that so the feces be deuyded frome the pure water.

The syxte that the water be renewed to¦warde the ende of the yere / as I shal she¦we you more expressely. The seuenth the waters that be distylled contynue lō¦ger than the waters that be brēned / for the clere and subtyll partes be deuyded frome the grosse superfluytes. for the dys∣serence betwene dystylled waters and btēned waters is this the one is ordred with fyre / and the other mother maners The .viii. all maner of waters that be dy¦stylled of drye and hote herbes contynue longer than the waters that be dystylled of colde / moyst / or flymy herbes or rotes. The .ix. some waters Beynge a yere ol¦de or aboue / do alter or change theyr cō¦plexyon with mynysshyng of theyr veny¦mous colde or hete. Therfore in breue se¦•ence. I shall shewe toyow how longe the dystylled waters maye be kepte as nere as god therto wyll gyue me grace / for it is ryght dyffycyll for any erthli creature to haue therof vnderstondyng / wherfore I call to god for helpe / for the parfyt kno¦welege therof is onely in hym / and in no¦ne other without hym / wherfore it is ve¦ry necessary to you for to wryte the tyme of theyr breuynges or dystyllacyons.

¶How longe the waters may be kepte in substaunce.
FYrst euery maner of water is to be kepte a yere / whan it is b•en¦nyd / dystylled / and kepte as before is she¦wed. But whan the waters ben not clo¦se & truely stopped / than shall they be cast out be fore the yere / lykewyse all maner of water dystylled of be••es / of fowles or other wormes that bereth lyfe may scan¦tely contynue a yere.

Also the water of Ne¦nufar a flowre which is growyng in the ryuers hauyng a great rounde grene le¦fe / whiche flowres be somtyme yelowe / somtyme white / and whan the flowres fall the sede of them is closed in a roun∣de botton lyke a small gorde / or an vry∣nall / may endere in his colde operacyon to the fourth yere / the fyrst yere to be lay¦de withoute vpon the dysseases / for it is halfe poyson or venym thrughe his graet coldnes or stupefactyfe / the seconde yere it may be vsed withn the body for to cole In the thyrde yere his colynge is tempe¦rate / and in the ende of the thyrde yere it shall be cast out / but it must be wel kept and rectyfyed as before is specyfyed. Of the same nature be rede roses growyng in the corne / & so is popy flowre water.
