From all which (and much more I might add, which for brevities sake I omit) it evidently appears, that Farnner was obliged to me, which he would never have been, had not he receiv’d some benefit from me, which render’d him bound to me: But if he is oblig’d to me, why was he so wicked, as in his lying Epistles so malapertly to despise, and disparage me and my Secrets, which he had from me? Hence then every man may perceive what they ought to judge of him, that he has both behav’d himself most perfidiously wicked toward me, and also, that he has sufficiently declar’d himself the most ungrateful in the World.
But that no man may suspect that I wrest any word of Farnner’s, in his obligations given to me, to his disadvantage, or my own ends, I have taken care to have his own hand-writing view’d by Notaries and Witnesses, who will attest, that what I have printed is word for word the same with what I have in writing under his own hand.
A Specification of those Chymical Secrets which Farnner learn’d of Glauber, and in the trial found true, and of those which yet are found and brought to trial; where it must be known, that those, of which there is no mention made here, if Glauber should relate them, they would not answer his expectation in Practice, according to his information: Also the Charge which he must be at who will make trial of those Secrets after a right manner, is here added.
1. Glauber’s Panacea, for 30 R. Dollers.
About which these things are to be considered: It is made chiefly of Antimony; to which, according to his common way, Sulphur is added; which done, another Separation is made, in which, from a whole pound of Sulphur and Antimony, no man shall receive more than three ounces of the purest Sulphur. There are indeed two other Subjects, which produce a golden Sulphur better than Antimony; but I have found a way to extract a thick and pure Sulphur from all sorts of Metals (except Luna and Sol) and Minerals, and after Glauber’s manner to make Tinctures. All these Secrets annexed will be taught for the price named.
2. To reduce Minerals and Metals into Dross, after Glauber’s way, to reduce them to nothing, and then without Charge to bring them to their own Species again, or to turn them into fluid Oil, or Powder, or Tinctures; which things bear an affinity to those above: For Twenty R. Dollers.
3. Glauber’s Alkahest, and a way to prepare it, perhaps unknown to Glauber, and built upon a more firm foundation; Fifty R. Dollers.
4. The Trial of all sorts of Brass, but not of every sort at once, for every one must have a particular Practice.
5. To make store of Flowers of Coral for a little Cost; ten R. Dollers.
