H. title: Novum lumen medicum wherein the excellent and most necessary doctrine of the highly-gifted philosopher Helmont concerning the great mystery of the pholosophers sulphur. is fundamentally cleared by Joachim Poleman. Out of a faithful and good intent to those that are ignorant and straying grom the truth, as also out of compassion to the sick. Written by the authour in the German tongue, and now englished by F.H. a German. date: 1662.0 words: 38838 flesch: 18 summary: Now as you see further that among the stars the most glorious is the Sun , which far surpasseth all the other with its splendour , light and vertue ; yea as the highly illuminated Teutonicus Philosophus Jacob Bohme in his book de tribus principiis , as also de signatura rerum , also de triplici vitâ , and others more , according to his wisdome and profound knowledge granted unto him by the Spirit of God , teacheth , the Sun is the root , source , and heart of the Stars , whence they all did flow , and so of right may be called , and is in truth the Father of the Stars , in regard of their source , and a King of them , because of its great pre-eminence in splendour : Even so in like manner the Metals and Minerals have also their King and Father , which surpasseth them all , and therefore is called Metallus primus sive Masculus ( which signifyeth as much as Pater metallorum ) by our highly guifted and profoundly learned Philosopher Helmont , as also by Paracelsus , which have by Gods blessing acknowledged the same ; yea seen perfectly with the eyes of their understanding , that this Electum minerale hath the same relation to all the rest , which the Sun hath to all other stars , and so of right may be called the King of the Mineral Kingdome , in regard that this proceedeth from it , just as a tree springeth from its root , and because that its splendour and light is so excellent in its wholesome vertue and operation , that none of all the Metals and Minerals can do the like , thefore its heavenly Tincture is set down in the first place among all the great Arcani Paracelsi , as on Philosopher doth relate in his book and I have mentioned already in the former chapter , as I have also shewn a little before , how much it exceeds the Sulphur of Antimony in splendour ▪ which Sulphur yet is of so great efficacy , that it is to be admired , as our Philosophers quoted words have mentioned , and therefore also this Mineral King is called by our Philosopher , and Paracelsus , the Quinta essentia of all members , because that nothing doth so compleatly strengthen all the Members as this Royal Tincture ▪ hence also it is called by them Simpliciter & secundum excellentiam Arcanum Tincturae , because that the Tincture of life is especially and above all put into this Royal subject by Nature , in which sence our Philosopher inter imperfectiora calleth it , the highest and most excellent of all the wonders of Nature , yea the greatest and most effectual means for long Life , whereupon we most relie ; ad vitam longam , saith he , solus apex & culmen spei ; and mirabilium naturae culmen , which commendation doth not properly belong unto it , till it be brought into its Arcanum , that is , till it be ripened , compleatly digested , and perfected , and then it is the Sulphur Philosophorum above all other ; and although the Sulphurs of all the others be brought to the same maturity and fixation as the Sulphur of the Electrum immaturum , yet those cannot shew forth such an excellent splendour and lustre as this , because that each one presently from its first generation carrieth its determinate height and glory along , which it is impossible to exceed , it being contrary to the will of the Creator , by whose Will all are made , and who would have it so , that such a Sulphur should light in this , and such an other in an other glory , to the end that in this manner the manifold Vertues and Lights ( which otherwise would remain hidden ) of the heavenly substance , whereof these are the expresse stamp or print , and from which these are flown , might be made manifest , and so man might wonder at the great variety of those mighty and innumerable powers of Nature , and so be drawn on to praise the great God as Creator of all these Lights . The truth of this Doctrine I did then demonctrate with strong Arguments of the Anima Antimonii , and if my occasions had permitted me to remain there for some longer time , I would have cleared the same by experimental proof ; Now although this great Encomium attributed by Helmont unto some Sulphurs , may with truth be given unto the Sulphur of Antimony , yet the Tincture of the Copper deserveth it much more , as having obtained of Nature a higher degree of Nobility than the former ; and and therefore its Anima is called Sulphur Philosophorum by Paracelsus , Basilius Valentinus , and others , in regard of its great Vertue and Power in relieving the sick in their pains and great extremities , which many Physitians clearly apprehended from the Writings of Helmont , and therefore greedily sought for the same , but none almost hitherto found it . keywords: alcali; anima; antimony; armoniack; bodies; body; copper; corrosive; doth; double; end; fiery; fire; fixed; forth; god; gold; good; ground; hath; light; like; manner; means; metallick; metals; minerals; nature; oyl; philosopher; philosophorum; power; quod; reason; red; regard; salt; self; solution; spirit; substance; sulphur; sulphur philosophorum; things; time; tincture; truth; vertue; vitriol; viz; volatil; way; work; yea cache: A55298.xml plain text: A55298.txt item: #92 of 123 id: A56500 author: Culpeper, Nicholas, 1616-1654. title: A new method of physick: or, A short view of Paracelsus and Galen's practice; in 3. treatises.
