And the feet of the Lord are of copper,1 or like unto brass and frankincense burning in a furnace. For Chalcolibaum, is a word compounded of brass and frankincense.2 This noteth Erasmus, and that Swidas showeth also the same, that there is a kind of Copper more precious than gold: which he saith is made of Salt peter and of a stone. Plin. in the xxxiiii. and .ii. Chapter. calleth it a kind of brass, which is digged out of the veins of the earth, in times paste had in price. It should seem to me to be the same, which in the first and tenth of Ezekiel is called Hasmal, a present remedy against poisons. For if wine intoxicated be put into a cup thereof, it will hiss. And so is the death and poison detected.
