The Dialogue of Iron 
were the lode ſtone it ſelle, and all this it doeth by reaſon ot 
the greate lykeneſſe and friendihippe which it bath with 
the vꝛon, together in one with the hidden pꝛopertie which it 
bath therfore, Foꝛ this vertue, that it hath to dꝛawe vnto it 
pꝛon either it is fo2 the likenes it hath, oꝛ for the property 
and in this Tone ought to be the one and the other The dias 
mond is his euemie, inſomuche as it is aide that in his pres 
ſence, it dꝛaweth not the pron vnto it. Galen ſpeaketh of 
greater power that the loade ſtone hath then the pꝛon, ſeing 
that it dꝛaweth the pron to him, being of his otun kind, and 
therfore the ancient wꝛiters do giue it the ſame vertue, that 
thep gine to the von, in curing the opilations of the lungs, 
and other inner partes. Galen faith, thatthe vſe therof hea⸗ 
leth the dꝛopſte, and doeth euacuate the groſſe humoꝛs. Se- 
rapio fateth that being taken with water and bony: it loos 
ſeththe belip,chiefly groſſe humoꝛs: many doe pꝛayſe it fo: 
the dꝛopfte, with water andhony. 3 vnderſtand that the leve

as Wee haue ſaide of the pꝛeparing ot the pon. B. Doorth

fo2 3 haue pꝛepared it by conunandement of a Phiũtion, 
being a ſtranger, and gaue the pouder thereof vnto ſuch as 
hadopilations: and hee ſaide ta mie, that they did better 
wooꝛke then the pouders of ſtæle. D. Me haue ſpoken ot 
Plateario and of Mathew Siluatico,howe theꝝ fap that the 
ruſt ofthe yꝛon, and the pꝛon it felfe,and the filing of it, and 
the ſkeele, haue al one maner or bertue, and therfoze the rult 
of the poi prepared wil profit as much fo2 the fatd purpoſe, 
as the ruſt doeth, and haue vnderſtode faz to tonſume and 
by vp the moiſturs of the ſtomacke and the limp humours 
therof, it will make great effectes , for the ruſt ol the Aron 
and of the Keele is the mot hot partes z the diet partes of 
them. And fo Galen doeth command it ta bee prepared with
