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

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

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

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
