side_n spiritual_a when_o once_o thou_o have_v the_o true_a mastery_n of_o our_o dissolution_n thou_o need_v take_v no_o care_n for_o congelation_n for_o govern_v it_o on_o with_o thy_o fire_n thou_o shall_v attain_v coagulation_n without_o any_o lay_n on_o of_o hand_n therefore_o say_v ricardus_n above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v wonderful_a that_o in_o our_o work_n calcination_n dissolution_n sublimation_n putrefaction_n separation_n conjunction_n death_n and_o purification_n shall_v be_v perform_v in_o one_o vessel_n and_o one_o linear_a decoction_n without_o lay_v on_o of_o hand_n for_o very_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o body_n thicken_v the_o spirit_n as_o it_o be_v in_o water_n in_o which_o gum_n or_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v dissolve_v for_o by_o how_o much_o the_o one_o be_v dissolve_v the_o other_o be_v congeal_v this_o prove_v the_o naturality_n of_o our_o work_n for_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o corn_n be_v in_o the_o bowel_n of_o the_o earth_n soften_v with_o the_o moist_a

we_o dissolve_v into_o water_n which_o wet_v no_o hand_n for_o when_o the_o earth_n be_v integrat_o incinerate_a then_o be_v the_o water_n congeal_v this_o understand_v for_o our_o element_n be_v so_o together_o concatenate_n that_o when_o thy_o body_n from_o its_o first_o form_n be_v alterate_a a_o new_a form_n be_v endue_v immediate_o since_o nothing_o be_v without_o all_o form_n be_v utter_o so_o we_o in_o our_o work_n dissolve_v our_o body_n which_o be_v gold_n in_o its_o own_o water_n in_o which_o it_o be_v soften_v as_o a_o seed_n in_o its_o proper_a ground_n and_o be_v soften_v it_o relent_v into_o water_n not_o diaphanous_a such_o as_o be_v the_o water_n of_o the_o cloud_n or_o of_o fountain_n but_o mineral_n even_o mercury_n which_o wet_v no_o hand_n nor_o cleave_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v of_o its_o own_o substance_n and_o essence_n so_o that_o then_o in_o our_o work_n our_o two_o principal_n work_v not_o according_a to_o their_o single_a disposition_n but_o as_o conjunct_a the_o one_o say_v the_o philosopher_n die_v not_o without_o its_o brother_n therefore_o when_o thou_o calcine_v the_o earth_n thou_o do_v in_o it_o and_o with_o it_o calcine_v the_o water_n and_o in_o this_o the_o soul_n of_o both_o be_v tie_v together_o to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v serve_v the_o wise_a philosopher_n therefore_o let_v all_o thy_o study_n be_v to_o unite_v nature_n which_o thou_o can_v never_o do_v unless_o thou_o separate_v first_o their_o soul_n by_o sublimation_n and_o afterward_o unite_v they_o in_o blackness_n which_o a_o continual_a

time_n have_v more_o than_o one_o form_n so_o can_v it_o never_o be_v void_a of_o all_o form_n and_o here_o a_o secret_a i_o will_v to_o thou_o disclose_v which_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o our_o secret_n all_o and_o it_o not_o know_v thou_o shall_v but_o lose_v thy_o labour_n and_o cost_n both_o great_a and_o small_a take_v heed_n therefore_o in_o error_n that_o thou_o not_o fall_v the_o

its_o spirit_n and_o body_n but_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o perfection_n and_o strong_a compaction_n it_o find_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o difficulty_n before_o a_o total_a resolution_n and_o therefore_o it_o putrefy_v what_o be_v most_o gross_a and_o thus_o bring_v it_o to_o atom_n which_o when_o it_o be_v once_o subtilise_v beyond_o the_o exigency_n of_o its_o own_o nature_n it_o than_o be_v dissolve_v and_o relent_v and_o then_o dissolution_n be_v make_v total_o viz._n after_o putrefaction_n then_o at_o length_n it_o become_v all_o like_a a_o glorious_a argent_fw-fr vive_fw-fr and_o this_o immediate_o before_o the_o lunary_n coagulation_n know_v then_o that_o our_o first_o lose_v be_v into_o a_o viscous_a powder_n which_o be_v bring_v on_o by_o incrudation_n or_o rather_o

hard_o rather_o than_o soft_a yet_o the_o mingle_n of_o the_o nature_n be_v know_v by_o the_o colour_n and_o draw_v to_o calcination_n therefore_o thy_o first_o operation_n be_v to_o dry_v up_o thy_o superfluous_a waterish_a moisture_n not_o evaporate_n it_o but_o congeal_v it_o on_o the_o body_n think_v not_o then_o as_o some_o of_o the_o envious_a sophistical_o write_v that_o the_o more_o you_o put_v of_o your_o water_n the_o soon_o you_o dissolve_v and_o congeal_v the_o slow_a no_o very_o your_o calcination_n be_v but_o the_o medium_n of_o true_a solution_n which_o be_v trust_v i_o not_o

the_o eye_n which_o before_o be_v but_o distinguishable_a by_o its_o effect_n behold_v how_o ice_n to_o water_n do_v relent_v and_o so_o it_o must_v for_o water_n it_o be_v before_o right_o so_o again_o our_o water_n to_o earth_n be_v go_v and_o water_n thereby_o congeal_v for_o evermore_o for_o after_o all_o philosopher_n that_o ere_o be_v bear_v each_o metal_n once_o be_v water_n mineral_n therefore_o with_o water_n they_o turn_v to_o water_v all_o so_o than_o our_o body_n have_v moisture_n in_o itself_o but_o this_o moisture_n be_v seal_v as_o water_n when_o freeze_a by_o the_o cold._n but_o when_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o body_n be_v by_o our_o water_n open_v and_o its_o central_a fire_n set_v at_o liberty_n this_o internal_a fire_n of_o nature_n make_v the_o body_n to_o become_v no_o body_n but_o a_o very_a spirit_n in_o this_o same_o operation_n the_o spirit_n be_v congeal_v for_o the_o body_n have_v in_o it_o more_o virtue_n than_o its_o two_o sociat_n that_o be_v than_o
