Nature invokes 'Salomon' and 'Ecclesiast.' chapter 38 in praising the highest medicine as created by God, taken from the earth and not despised by the wise. The supplied English retains the source's attribution as Solomon rather than silently correcting it. The medicinal chapter-reference points toward a textual and attributional issue that should remain visible: the historical designation is not itself independent evidence of authorship. Its immediate force is scriptural authorization for respecting medicine, placed against learned mockers of alchemy. The entry records that appeal without using it to verify the cure-all claims surrounding it.
