and_o in_o sum_n the_o whole_a substance_n of_o the_o subject_n be_v perfect_v into_o a_o fix_a spiritual_a body_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o our_o fire_n and_o this_o the_o wise_a man_n never_o reveal_v and_o therefore_o few_o do_v come_v unto_o the_o art_n think_v that_o there_o be_v some_o such_o superfluous_a and_o unclean_a thing_n now_o we_o must_v seek_v out_o the_o property_n of_o our_o fire_n

it_o separate_v nothing_o from_o the_o matter_n it_o divide_v not_o the_o pure_a part_n from_o the_o impure_a as_o all_o the_o philosopher_n say_v but_o it_o turn_v the_o whole_a subject_n into_o

near_a way_n without_o any_o cost_n at_o least_o with_o small_a cost_n and_o that_o fire_n be_v it_o with_o a_o mean_a fire_n for_o with_o a_o soft_a fire_n all_o the_o whole_a work_n be_v perfect_v and_o it_o perform_v withal_o all_o the_o due_a sublimation_n they_o that_o shall_v read_v geber_n and_o all_o the_o other_o philosopher_n though_o they_o shall_v live_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o

many_o and_o great_a man_n have_v not_o attain_v unto_o the_o work_n they_o do_v err_v they_o have_v err_v they_o will_v err_v because_o the_o philosopher_n have_v not_o put_v the_o proper_a agent_n
