through_o every_o age_n be_v reducible_a in_o our_o water_n only_o and_o be_v then_o live_v and_o we_o even_o as_o wheat_n sow_o in_o the_o ground_n do_v change_v its_o name_n and_o be_v call_v the_o husbandman_n seed-corn_n either_o for_o bread_n or_o other_o use_n as_o well_o as_o for_o seed_n even_o so_o it_o be_v with_o gold_n as_o long_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o a_o ring_n a_o vessel_n or_o money_n it_o be_v the_o vulgar_a gold_n but_o as_o concern_v its_o be_v cast_v into_o our_o water_n it_o be_v philosophical_a in_o the_o former_a respect_n it_o be_v call_v dead_a because_o it_o will_v remain_v unchanged_a even_o to_o the_o world_n end_n in_o the_o latter_a respect_n it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v live_v because_o it_o be_v so_o potential_o which_o power_n be_v capable_a of_o be_v bring_v into_o art_n in_o a_o few_o day_n but_o then_o gold_n will_v be_v no_o long_o gold_n but_o the_o chaos_n of_o the_o sophi_n therefore_o well_o may_v philosopher_n say_v that_o their_o philosophical_a gold_n differ_v from_o the_o vulgar_a gold_n which_o difference_n consist_v in_o the_o composition_n for_o even_o as_o that_o man_n be_v say_v to_o be_v dead_a which_o have_v already_o receive_v the_o sentence_n of_o death_n so_o be_v gold_n say_v to_o be_v alive_a when_o it_o be_v mix_v in_o such_o a_o composition_n and_o put_v upon_o such_o a_o fire_n in_o which_o it_o will_v necessary_o receive_v a_o germinative_a life_n in_o a_o short_a time_n yea_o it_o will_v demonstrate_v the_o action_n of_o a_o life_n beginning_n and_o that_o within_o a_o few_o day_n therefore_o the_o same_o sophi_n that_o say_v their_o gold_n be_v live_v do_v bid_v thou_o the_o searcher_n of_o art_n to_o revive_v the_o dead_a the_o which_o if_o thou_o know_v to_o do_v and_o to_o prepare_v the_o agent_n and_o right_o to_o mix_v the_o gold_n it_o will_v soon_o become_v live_v in_o which_o vivification_n thy_o live_a menstruum_fw-la will_v die_v therefore_o the_o magi_n command_v thou_o to_o revive_v the_o dead_a and_o to_o kill_v the_o live_n they_o do_v at_o the_o first_o entrance_n call_v their_o water_n live_v and_o say_v that_o the_o death_n of_o one_o principle_n with_o the_o death_n of_o another_o have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o period_n thence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o their_o gold_n be_v to_o be_v take_v dead_a and_o their_o water_n live_v and_o by_o compound_v these_o together_o the_o seed-gold_n will_v by_o a_o short_a decoction_n vivifie_v or_o quicken_v and_o the_o live_v ☿_o will_v be_v kill_v that_o be_v the_o spirit_n will_v be_v coagulate_v with_o the_o dissolve_a body_n and_o both_o of_o they_o putrify_v together_o in_o the_o form_n of_o dirt_n or_o mud_n until_o all_o the_o member_n of_o the_o composition_n be_v rend_v or_o disperse_v into_o atom_n here_o therefore_o be_v the_o naturality_n of_o our_o magistery_n the_o mystery_n which_o we_o so_o much_o hide_v be_v to_o prepare_v the_o ☿_o true_o so_o call_v the_o which_o can_v be_v find_v upon_o the_o earth_n ready_o prepare_v to_o our_o hand_n and_o that_o for_o singular_a reason_n know_v to_o the_o adeptist_n in_o the_o ☿_o we_o neat_o amalgamate_fw-it pure_a gold_n purge_v to_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o purity_n and_o file_v or_o beat_v and_o be_v shut_v in_o the_o glass_n we_o daily_o boil_v it_o the_o gold_n be_v dissolve_v by_o the_o virtue_n of_o our_o water_n and_o return_v to_o its_o near_a matter_n in_o which_o the_o include_v life_n of_o the_o gold_n become_v free_a and_o take_v the_o life_n of_o the_o dissolve_v ☿_o which_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o gold_n be_v the_o same_o as_o good_a earth_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o grain_n of_o wheat_n in_o this_o ☿_o therefore_o the_o gold_n be_v dissolve_v do_v putrify_v and_o must_v be_v necessary_o so_o by_o the_o necessity_n of_o nature_n therefore_o after_o the_o putrefaction_n of_o death_n there_o rise_v the_o new_a body_n of_o the_o same_o essence_n with_o the_o former_a body_n and_o of_o a_o more_o noble_a substance_n 〈◊〉_d take_v on_o it_o the_o degree_n of_o virtuality_n proportionable_a to_o the_o difference_n between_o the_o four_o quality_n of_o the_o element_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o our_o work_n this_o be_v our_o whole_a philosophy_n we_o have_v say_v therefore_o that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o our_o work_n secret_a but_o ☿_o only_o the_o magistery_n of_o which_o be_v right_o to_o prepare_v it_o and_o extract_v the_o hidden_a ☉_o it_o contain_v and_o to_o marry_v it_o in_o a_o just_a proportion_n with_o gold_n and_o to_o govern_v it_o with_o the_o fire_n as_o the_o ☿_o require_v because_o gold_n do_v not_o of_o itself_o fear_v the_o fire_n and_o as_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v unite_v with_o the_o ☿_o so_o far_o do_v it_o render_v it_o able_a to_o abide_v the_o fire_n therefore_o this_o be_v the_o labour_n and_o work_n to_o accommodate_v the_o regiment_n of_o the_o heat_n to_o the_o capacity_n of_o ☿_o his_o abide_n it_o but_o he_o that_o have_v not_o right_o prepare_v his_o ☿_o and_o shall_v join_v gold_n therewith_o his_o gold_n be_v yet_o the_o gold_n of_o the_o vulgar_a because_o it_o be_v join_v with_o such_o a_o foolish_a agent_n in_o which_o it_o remain_v as_o much_o unchanged_a as_o if_o it_o have_v be_v keep_v in_o the_o chest_n nor_o will_v it_o lay_v off_o its_o own_o bodily_a nature_n by_o any_o regiment_n of_o the_o fire_n whatsoever_o where_o a_o agent_n be_v not_o alive_a within_o our_o be_v then_o a_o live_n and_o quicken_a soul_n and_o therefore_o our_o gold_n be_v spermatical_a as_o wheat_n sow_o be_v seed-corn_n when_o as_o the_o same_o wheat_n will_v in_o the_o barn_n remain_v breadcorn_n only_o and_o dead_a and_o though_o it_o be_v bury_v in_o a_o pot_n under_o the_o

withal_o by_o the_o moist_a vapour_n of_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v dead_a and_o abide_v without_o fruit_n and_o be_v plain_o remote_a from_o vegetation_n i_o know_v there_o be_v many_o which_o will_v carp_v at_o this_o doctrine_n and_o say_v that_o he_o affirm_v it_o gold_n of_o the_o vulgar_a and_o run_v ☿_o be_v the_o material_a subject_n of_o the_o stone_n but_o we_o know_v the_o contrary_n go_v to_o therefore_o you_o philosopher_n examine_v your_o purse_n although_o you_o know_v such_o thing_n have_v you_o the_o stone_n very_o as_o for_o myself_o i_o do_v not_o possess_v it_o by_o

than_o the_o devil_n himself_o slander_n and_o revile_v i_o believe_v you_o that_o this_o your_o evil_a speak_a will_n sadden_fw-mi i_o i_o say_v that_o gold_n only_o and_o ☿_o be_v our_o material_n and_o i_o know_v what_o i_o write_v and_o the_o searcher_n of_o all_o heart_n know_v that_o i_o write_v the_o truth_n nor_o be_v there_o any_o cause_n to_o accuse_v i_o of_o envy_n because_o i_o
