external_o for_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o air_n lie_v in_o the_o inward_a part_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o god_n create_v nothing_o in_o this_o world_n but_o it_o have_v its_o peculiar_a taste_n or_o air_n the_o air_n and_o the_o taste_n be_v one_o spirit_n the_o taste_n go_v out_o of_o the_o air_n as_o smoke_v from_o the_o fire_n but_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o a_o thing_n which_o have_v a_o sweet_a air_n be_v bitter_a in_o taste_n the_o cause_n be_v because_o the_o faeces_fw-la of_o that_o thing_n be_v putrid_a and_o stink_a in_o the_o element_n that_o be_v the_o choler_n or_o heat_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v unnatural_o hot_a have_v a_o bitter_a taste_n the_o air_n and_o the_o taste_n be_v both_o one_o spirit_n and_o as_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o air_n press_v outward_o through_o hot_a thing_n so_o do_v the_o air_n ●race_v the_o taste_n about_o and_o ●ends_v the_o subtle_a taste_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v burn_v by_o the_o vehement_a burn_a choler_n as_o in_o the_o herbal_a be_v at_o large_a express_v but_o the_o cause_n why_o saturn_n be_v sweet_a in_o taste_n be_v that_o it_o be_v almost_o pure_a and_o clean_a have_v scarce_o any_o unnatural_a heat_n in_o it_o which_o can_v burn_v the_o subtle_a taste_n therefore_o it_o have_v the_o taste_n external_o and_o the_o taste_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o air_n lock_v up_o in_o it_o my_o child_n know_v what_o i_o say_v before_o that_o a_o thing_n wherein_o be_v much_o burn_a heat_n the_o air_n lock_v up_o the_o taste_n therein_o because_o the_o taste_n shall_v not_o be_v corrupt_v by_o the_o unnatural_a heat_n so_o the_o taste_n include_v the_o air_n in_o it_o when_o it_o issue_v forth_o from_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v external_o cold_a for_o the_o subtle_a spirit_n of_o the_o air_n or_o send_v of_o a_o thing_n can_v endure_v no_o cold_a as_o we_o see_v daily_o in_o herb_n and_o flower_n that_o they_o yield_v no_o send_v in_o the_o winter_n as_o they_o do_v in_o the_o summer_n but_o they_o hide_v themselves_o in_o the_o winter_n and_o the_o spirit_n have_v the_o send_v enclose_v in_o it_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o send_v of_o air._n behold_v a_o man_n that_o have_v take_v cold_a immediate_o he_o lose_v his_o scent_n and_o his_o taste_v be_v diminish_v even_o so_o it_o be_v here_o with_o saturn_n it_o be_v quite-cold_a so_o that_o the_o taste_n manifest_v itself_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o send_v for_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o taste_n have_v the_o smell_n in_o it_o look_v upon_o sugar_n which_o be_v well_o clarify_v from_o its_o faeces_fw-la how_o sweet_a it_o be_v in_o taste_n yet_o it_o yield_v no_o scent_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o extraordinary_a sweetness_n in_o sugar_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o sugar_n be_v very_o cold_a external_o therefore_o be_v it_o white_a as_o snow_n and_o of_o a_o sweet_a taste_n yet_o sugar_n internal_o be_v hot_a and_o moist_a of_o the_o temper_n of_o gold_n and_o of_o such_o great_a virtue_n that_o it_o be_v call_v the_o philosopher_n stone_n as_o it_o be_v approve_v and_o very_o prevalent_a to_o cure_v all_o the_o distemper_n of_o man_n body_n as_o appear_v by_o its_o operation_n the_o reason_n why_o i_o say_v this_o my_o child_n be_v that_o you_o shall_v altogether_o understand_v its_o internal_a &_o external_a and_o the_o spirit_n which_o be_v in_o these_o thing_n whereof_o we_o discourse_v that_o thereby_o you_o shall_v know_v god_n wonderful_a work_n and_o what_o wonder_v he_o work_v in_o these_o inferior_a thing_n which_o be_v all_o make_v for_o our_o use_n what_o have_v god_n in_o we_o for_o who_o sake_n he_o have_v create_v all_o these_o wonder_n and_o all_o these_o thing_n wherefore_o my_o child_n believe_v in_o god_n love_v he_o and_o follow_v he_o for_o he_o love_v you_o as_o he_o make_v it_o appear_v and_o manifest_v himself_o in_o all_o thing_n as_o well_o in_o their_o internal_o as_o in_o their_o external_o o_o how_o wonderful_a be_v our_o lord_n and_o god_n from_o who_o all_o wonder_n proceed_v now_o my_o child_n why_o be_v saturn_n fluxible_a as_o wax_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o abound_a sulphur_n which_o be_v therein_o for_o i_o find_v no_o fluxibleness_n or_o fusibleness_n in_o any_o thing_n save_v in_o sulphur_n mercury_n and_o arsenic_n and_o all_o these_o three_o be_v in_o saturn_n so_o that_o saturn_n be_v quick_o fluxible_a but_o all_o these_o three_o be_v cleanse_v with_o it_o from_o their_o uncleanness_n and_o do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o the_o philosopher_n call_v their_o soon_o arsenic_n and_o a_o white_a thing_n and_o they_o say_v their_o sulphur_n be_v incombustible_a they_o call_v it_o likewise_o a_o red_a thing_n all_o this_o be_v saturn_n in_o it_o be_v arsenic_n for_o luna_n be_v principal_o generate_v of_o a_o white_a sulphur_n as_o be_v plain_o teach_v in_o the_o book_n of_o sulphur_n and_o all_o arsenic_n be_v internal_o red_a as_o blood_n if_o its_o inward_a part_n be_v bring_v outward_o as_o be_v demonstrate_v in_o the_o book_n of_o colour_n etc._n etc._n saturn_n stand_v almost_o in_o the_o degree_n of_o fix_a luna_n so_o that_o in_o it_o there_o be_v a_o red_a sulphur_n as_o you_o see_v when_o its_o internal_a be_v place_v outward_o it_o will_v be_v red_a as_o a_o ruby_n there_o be_v no_o colour_n but_o in_o the_o spirit_n so_o that_o there_o be_v in_o it_o a_o red_a and_o a_o yellow_a sulphur_n in_o it_o be_v mercury_n as_o may_v be_v see_v for_o mercury_n be_v extract_v out_o of_o saturn_n in_o a_o short_a time_n and_o with_o little_a labour_n so_o that_o all_o three_o be_v in_o saturn_n but_o they_o be_v not_o fix_v therein_o but_o they_o be_v clean_o pure_a incombustible_a fluxible_a as_o wax_n in_o it_o be_v all_o thing_n which_o the_o philosopher_n have_v mention_v they_o say_v our_o stone_n be_v

four_o element_n and_o they_o say_v true_a for_o the_o four_o element_n may_v be_v separate_v out_o of_o saturn_n they_o say_v our_o stone_n consist_v of_o soul_n spirit_n and_o body_n and_o these_o three_o become_v one_o they_o say_v true_a when_o it_o be_v make_v fix_v for_o the_o white_a mercury_n and_o sulphur_n with_o its_o earth_n than_o these_o three_o be_v one_o whereby_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o philosopher_n have_v say_v true_a they_o conceal_v its_o name_n for_o the_o ignorant_o sake_n who_o be_v not_o their_o child_n to_o keep_v they_o still_o in_o their_o

cleanse_v from_o all_o its_o impurity_n and_o make_v as_o white_a as_o snow_n fusible_a as_o wax_n but_o it_o be_v not_o fix_v yet_o we_o will_v make_v it_o fix_v the_o mercury_n and_o sulphur_n with_o its_o earth_n take_v a_o glass-vial_n put_v half_o of_o your_o purify_a saturn_n into_o it_o reserve_v the_o other_o half_o till_o you_o have_v occasion_n to_o use_v it_o lay_v a_o polish_a

leave_v drop_v if_o in_o the_o spaceof_o one_o or_o two_o pater-noster_n one_o drop_n do_v fall_v then_o augment_v the_o fire_n till_o the_o pot_n glow_v at_o the_o bottom_n for_o twelve_o hour_n

of_o the_o pot_n which_o take_v out_o put_v it_o into_o a_o linen_n bag_n hang_v it_o in_o a_o moist_a cellar_n the_o tartar_n will_v dissolve_v receive_v it_o in_o a_o glass_n the_o body_n of_o

or_o better_a than_o it_o be_v likewise_o take_v your_o salt_n ammoniac_a out_o of_o the_o head_n it_o be_v good_a again_o and_o if_o you_o can_v have_v no_o salt_n ammoniac_a then_o take_v three_o

all_o philosopher_n agree_v my_o child_n take_v this_o mercury_n of_o saturn_n so_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o receiver_n put_v it_o into_o a_o glass_n box._fw-la i_o have_v now_o teach_v you_o to_o make_v two_o sort_n of_o the_o water_n of_o paradise_n and_o know_v my_o child_n that_o the_o first_o way_n be_v the_o best_a though_o it_o be_v make_v with_o some_o danger_n long_a time_n and_o more_o charge_n for_o the_o vinegar_n be_v all_o good_a yet_o the_o red_a oil_n be_v the_o best_a its_o time_n be_v alike_o unto_o the_o end_n and_o though_o it_o be_v more_o tedious_a before_o you_o obtain_v the_o red_a oil_n yet_o it_o fix_v itself_o in_o a_o short_a time_n if_o it_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n of_o fix_a stone_n into_o a_o simple_a essence_n in_o great_a redness_n but_o when_o the_o mercury_n come_v to_o the_o fix_a stone_n it_o hold_v on_o a_o long_a time_n in_o ascend_v and_o descend_v before_o it_o die_v and_o when_o it_o be_v quite_o dead_a it_o make_v the_o red_a fix_a stone_n again_o into_o a_o fix_a colour_n so_o cover_v the_o red_a stone_n with_o its_o coldness_n that_o the_o red_a stone_n become_v white_a again_o then_o must_v you_o boil_v it_o again_o gentle_o with_o a_o small_a fire_n till_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v yellow_a prosecute_a the_o fire_n from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o as_o the_o colour_n be_v high_a and_o strong_a and_o that_o so_o long_o till_o it_o attain_v to_o a_o perfect_a redness_n which_o require_v a_o long_a time_n before_o it_o be_v do_v which_o be_v not_o requisite_a in_o the_o red_a oil_n for_o the_o red_a oil_n die_v or_o coagulate_v forthwith_o the_o stone_n the_o one_o fix_v itself_o with_o the_o other_o into_o a_o simple_a essence_n in_o a_o short_a time_n therefore_o i_o tell_v thou_o my_o child_n that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o oil_n be_v alike_o long_o in_o the_o end_n though_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v of_o a_o short_a time_n with_o the_o mercury_n but_o it_o be_v equal_o long_a at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o work_n therefore_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o art_n of_o both_o work_n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v the_o art_n to_o make_v the_o oil_n from_o the_o innermost_a nature_n of_o the_o stone_n which_o be_v find_v afterward_o the_o oil_n be_v unknown_a to_o the_o ancient_n for_o my_o grandfather_n with_o his_o companion_n find_v it_o with_o great_a labour_n and_o length_n of_o time_n so_o there_o be_v two_o way_n to_o dissolve_v the_o stone_n and_o to_o pour_v upon_o it_o the_o clear_a water_n of_o paradise_n our_o ancestor_n call_v the_o oil_n their_o sharp_a vinegar_n therefore_o my_o child_n keep_v the_o name_n private_a and_o i_o will_v teach_v you_o first_o of_o all_o how_o you_o shall_v join_v the_o mercury_n to_o your_o stone_n which_o you_o extract_v out_o of_o saturn_n to_o dissolve_v it_o afterward_o i_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o bring_v over_o the_o helm_n that_o red_a oil_n which_o you_o extract_v out_o of_o your_o prepare_a saturn_n into_o a_o fix_a stone_n to_o dissolve_v your_o stone_n my_o child_n weight_n your_o fix_a stone_n take_v half_a as_o much_o of_o your_o mercury_n pour_v it_o upon_o the_o stone_n in_o the_o glass_n cover_v the_o glass_n again_o with_o a_o polish_a glass_n which_o may_v just_o fit_v it_o set_v it_o in_o a_o cuple_n with_o sift_v ash_n make_v a_o small_a fire_n like_o the_o sun_n heat_n at_o midsummer_n and_o give_v no_o more_o fire_n to_o it_o until_o the_o water_n of_o paradise_n or_o mercury_n become_v all_o a_o dead_a powder_n and_o know_v my_o child_n that_o the_o red_a or_o fix_v stone_n which_o before_o be_v darken_v when_o it_o have_v drink_v up_o the_o water_n of_o paradise_n or_o mercury_n or_o how_o you_o will_v call_v it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o powder_n between_o black_a and_o gray_a then_o augment_v the_o fire_n from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o till_o the_o matter_n be_v perfect_a white_a and_o when_o it_o be_v white_a strengthen_v the_o fire_n yet_o more_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o till_o it_o be_v of_o a_o dark_a yellow_a colour_n then_o make_v it_o yet_o strong_a till_o it_o be_v of_o a_o perfect_a red_a then_o rejoice_v for_o your_o stone_n be_v
