[Pg 96]
Therefore the separations in this place are chiefly 4.
Foure degrees of the separation of Animalls.
The first draws forth2 a waterie, and flegmatick humidity from the bloud. For from the bloud being after this manner, according to the processe shewed in the book of Conservations, Mummie, &c.prepared, there comes forth a most excellent Mummie, and so excellent a Specificum, that any fresh wound may bee cured, and consolidated3 in the space of twenty four hours, only with one binding4 up.
Balsome, &c.
The second is the separation of fat from flesh; for that being separated from Mans flesh is a most excellent balsome allaying5 the pains of the Gout, and Cramp6, and such like pains, if any part affected7 bee anointed with it warm. It helps also the tendons of the hands, or feet, being drawn8 together, if they bee daily anointed with it. It cures also the scab, and all kinds of Leprosy.
Therefore it is the chiefest Chirurgical specificum, and in all cases, as in wounds and the like most profitable, &c.
The third is the separation of waterie, and flegmatick moisture, together with the fat extracted out of bones. For if these two bee carefully by the Art of Alchymie separated from Mens bones by the degree of Distillation9, and the bones bee reduced, or burnt into most white ashes by the degree of Calcination; and then these three bee again after a right manner joined together, so that they resemble butter, they become a most wonderfull specificall Arcanum, with which thou maist soundly cure any fracture of bones without any pain at three bindings up, so that thou dost handle, and set the fracture according to the rules of Chirurgery, and then apply that specificum by way of plaister, &c.
[Pg 97]
This also doth most speedily cure the wounds of the skull10, and any other contusion of bones whatsoever11.
The fourth, and the last is the separation of Resines, and Gummes from the Skin, Bowels, and tendons. For this Resine being extracted, and separated out of them by the degree of Extraction, according to the Spagiricall Art, and coagulated by the beams of the Sun, become a cleer transparent12 Glew. Out of this glew being prepared, extracted and separated out of Mans body, as is prescribed, a most excellent Arcanum, and specificall stiptick comes forth, wherewith Wounds, and Ulcers13 may speedily bee consolidated, and their lips bee brought together: (even as two boards are glewed together with glew put betwixt them) so that you put two or three drops of it being resolved into the wound. This also is a singular Arcanum for Burns, Falling of the nails, Scabs, &c. if the place affected bee nointed with it. For the skin will presently bee brought over the raw flesh.
There might many other separations of these and other things bee reckoned up. But seeing wee have mentioned them in other places, it would bee but lost labour here to repeat them. It wil bee necessary that wee speak of those things here, of which wee have made no mention elsewhere.
The last Separation is the last Iudgment.
And lastly in the end of all things shall bee the last separation, in the third generation, the great day when the Son of God shall come in majesty14, and glory, The Manner of the last Iudgement.before whom shall be carried not swords, garlands, diadems15, scepters, &c. and Kingly jewels, with which Princes, Kings, Cesars, &c. doe pompously16 set forth themselves, but his Crosse, his crown[Pg 98] of thorns, and nails thrust through his hands, and feet, and spear with which his side was pierced, and the reed, and spunge in which they gave him vineger to drinke, and the whips wherewith hee was scourged17, and beaten. He comes not accompanyed with troopes of Horse, and beating of Drums, but foure Trumpets18 shall bee sounded by the Angells towards the foure parts of the world, killing19 all that are then alive with their horrible noise, in one moment, and then presently raising these again, together with them that are dead, and buryed.
Matth. 25.
For the voice shall bee heard: Arise yee dead, and come to judgment20. Then shal the twelve Apostles sit down, their seats being prepared in the clouds, and shal judge the twelve Tribes of Israel. In that place the holy Angels shall separate the bad from the good, the cursed from the blessed, the goats from the sheep. Then the cursed shall like stones, and lead be thrown downward: but the blessed shall like eagles fly on high. Then from the tribunall of God shal go forth this voice to them that stand on his left hand: Goe yee Cursed into everlasting21 fire prepared for the Devill, and his Angells from all eternity22: For I was an hungry, and yee fed me not; thirsty, and you gave no drink; sick, in prison, and naked, and you visited me not, freed mee not, cloathed me not, and you shewed no pity towards me, therefore shalt you expect no pity from me. On the contrary, hee shal speak to them on his right hand: Come yee blessed; and chosen into my Fathers Kingdome, which hath been prepared for you, and his Angells from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave me meat; thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked[Pg 99] and you covered me; sick, and you visited me; in prison, and you came unto me. Therefore I will receive you into my Fathers Kingdom, where are provided many mansions23 for the Saints. You took pity on me, therefore will I take pity on you.
All these being finished, and dispatched, all Elementary things wil returne to the first matter of the Elements, and bee tormented24 to eternity, and never bee consumed, &c. and on the contrary, all holy things shall return to the first matter of Sacraments: i.e. shall be purified, and in eternall joy glorifie God their Creator, and worship him from age to age, from eternity, to eternity, Amen.
