Animalls in their separation yeeld, _Water_, _Bloud_, _Flesh_, _Fat_, _Bones_, _Skin_, _Body_, _Hairs_, _Mercury_, _Sulphur_, and _Salt_. [Sidenote: What a good separator ought to be.] Hee therefore that boasts himselfe to bee able to separate all naturall things after this manner, must of necessity have long experience, and perfect knowledge of all naturall things. Moreover, hee must bee a skilfull, and well practised Alchymist, that hee may know what is combustible, and what not; what is fixt, and what not; what wil flow, and what not; and what things are more ponderous one then another: also he must be experienced in the naturall colour, smell, acidity, harshnesse, sowrenesse, bitternesse, sweetnesse, the degree, complexion, and quality of every thing. [Sidenote: The degrees of Separation. What and how many there be.] Also hee must know the degrees of Separation, as of Distillation, Resolution, Putrefaction, Extraction, Calcination, Reverberation, Sublimation, Reduction, Coagulation, Powdering, and Washing. [Sidenote: What distillation separates.] By Distillation is separated Water, Oyle from all corporeall things. [Sidenote: What resolution.] By Resolution are separated Metals from Minerals, and one Metall from another, and Salt from the other Principles, and fat, and that which is light, from that which is heavy. [Sidenote: Putrefaction.] By Putrefaction is separated fat from lean, pure from impure, putrid from not putrid. [Sidenote: Extraction.] By Extraction is separated pure from impure, and spirit, and quintessence from body, and thinne from thick. [Sidenote: Calcination.] By Calcination is separated watery moisture, fat, naturall heat, odour, and whatsoever else is combustible. [Sidenote: Reverberation.] By Reverberation is separated colour, odour, what is combustible, all humidity, aquosity, fat, and whatsoever is inconstant, or fluxil, in any thing, &c. [Sidenote: Sublimation.] By Sublimation is separated the fixed from the volatile, spirituall from the corporeall, pure from impure, Sulphur from Salt, Mercury from Salt, &c. [Sidenote: Reduction.] By Reduction is separated what is fluxil, from what is solid, a Metall from its Minerall, and one Metall from another, a Metall from its drosse, fat from what is not fat. [Sidenote: Coagulation.] By Coagulation is separated waterishnes from humidity, water from Earth. [Sidenote: Powdering.] By Powdering are separated powder, and sand, ashes, and Calx, Minerall, Vegetable, and Animall one from the other, and all powders, which are of an unequall weight are separated, and by winnowing, as chaffe from corne. [Sidenote: Washing.] By washing are separated ashes, and sand, a Minerall from its Metall, that which is heavy from what is light, a Vegetable, and Animall from what is Minerall, Sulphur from Mercury, and Salt, Salt from Mercury. [Sidenote: The Preparation of Metall is manifold.]
