when_o they_o be_v pour_v forth_o together_o after_o their_o union_n in_o the_o flux_n the_o other_o metal_n always_o settle_v at_o the_o bottom_n even_o as_o it_o likewise_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o

metal_n in_o it_o all_o the_o three_o property_n of_o the_o three_o principle_n be_v most_o course_n and_o because_o its_o salt_n be_v very_o fluxible_a above_o that_o of_o other_o metal_n and_o

to_o be_v make_v evident_a that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a coldness_n which_o be_v find_v to_o be_v in_o the_o salt_n of_o saturn_n above_o other_o salt_n saturn_n be_v also_o coagulate_v

iron_n contain_v more_o salt_n than_o any_o other_o metal_n see_v then_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n to_o be_v find_v in_o this_o point_n you_o must_v therefore_o observe_v and_o remember_v the_o difference_n and_o how_o to_o distinguish_v between_o metal_n all_o philosopher_n have_v write_v as_o well_o as_o i_o that_o the_o salt_n give_v the_o coagulation_n and_o body_n to_o every_o metal_n

can_v yield_v such_o a_o hard_a congelation_n unto_o its_o appropriate_v metal_n as_o the_o other_o can_v although_o all_o the_o salt_n of_o metal_n grow_v out_o of_o one_o certain_a root_n and_o out_o of_o one_o seed_n yet_o nevertheless_o you_o must_v observe_v a_o difference_n in_o their_o three_o principle_n as_o also_o you_o must_v observe_v &_o remember_v that_o a_o difference_n be_v find_v in_o one_o herb_n from_o the_o other_o and_o likewise_o how_o man_n differ_v from_o other_o creature_n and_o animal_n in_o quality_n original_a and_o the_o three_o principle_n for_o one_o
