The First Book OF MENSTRUUMS. _________________________________ RIPLEY, Cap. 2. Medullæ Philos. Chym. We will here demonstrate the clear Practice, how such Menstruums as be Unctuous and Moist, Sulphureous, and Mercureal, well agreeing with the Nature of Metals, wherewith our Bodies are to be artificially dissolved, may be obtained. _________________________________ London, Printed for Tho. Howkins in George-Yard in Lombard-Street, 1685. 12
The Translator to the Reader. Your Business it is, not mine, otherwise than as a Reader, to judge of this Work, but the ample and publick Encomiums of Learned Societies beyond the Seas, already declaring their Sentiments of its Rarity and Excellency, are convictive Authorities far beyond my Opinion; and therefore I shall be silent: only this I think necessary to let you know, that our Author, having little spare time himself, left his Latine Impression to be by others corrected, which has been the cause of many Errors, and indeed in some Places so gross, that the Author himself could scarce retrieve his own Meaning: This to prevent in the English Translation, he has been pleased to use all Care to have it exactly import his own Mind. I must also tell you, that though I have taken no small pains in endeavouring to make this weighty Work speak true and perfect English, yet my Copy not being punctually observed, you will find many small Mistakes, besides the Errata’s inserted at the latter end of the Book, which you may please, as you read, to correct. 13 Farewel.
