To make aqua mirabilis
a precious water .
Take Galingale, Cloves, quibibis, ginger, melilot
Cardmony, mace, nutmegs, of each a dram
made into pouder.
Then take half a pint of Iuice of Salandine,
A pinte of Aquavity, and three pintes of
good white wine.
Then mingle all these things together & put it in-
to a stillitorie of glasse, and let it stand all night,
next day still it with an easy fire.
The first pinte of water is best, and all the
rest that you can get, yow may put it to the next
stilling, and the water will be much the better.
The vertue of the water is this, It dissolveth
the Lungs without any grievance, and the same
lungs being wounded or perished, it mightily help=
-eth it, and comforteth it, and suffereth not the
bloud to putrifie, that almost he shall never
to ^ be blood, and it suffereth not the heart to be
burnt, nor that melancholy or phlegm have
the dominion above nature, and it expelleth
the Rheum mightily, and profiteth the stomake
marvellously, and conserveth youth in his own
estate, and gendereth a good collour, and keepeth
and conserveth the visage, & memory, and
destroyeth
