of the Art. And _Aristotle_ saith, that the equalitie of the powers
doth containe in it the action and passion of bodies. And this likewise
is the opinion of _Auerroes_ reprouing _Galen_. It is thought that this
is the most simple and pure medicine that may be found: It is good
against the feauers and passions both of minde and bodyes, more cheape
then any medicine whatsoeuer.
He that writ these things shall haue the key that openeth, and no man
shutteth, and when hee hath shut, no man is able to open it againe.

Transcriber’s note:
Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. All other
spelling and punctuation remains unchanged.
The typesetting has used VV for W, with variable spacing. This has been
replaced with W throughout.
The sidenote in Chapter XVI of The Booke of the Secrets of Alchimie
begins “The quantitie is called by the Logitians Passion,” it seems
likely from the context that this should read The quality etc.
