A44608	Aurifontina chymica, or, A collection of fourteen small treatises concerning the first matter of philosophers for the discovery of their (hitherto so much concealed) mercury which many have studiously endeavoured to hide, but these to make manifest for the benefit of mankind in general.	Houpreght, John Frederick.; Flamel, Nicolas, d. 1418.; Ripley, George, d. 1490?	1680 (1680)	Wing H2941; ESTC R31127	85,086	301

done take one drop of the red blessed Stone and let it fall into the midst of the Water and presently thou shalt see a mist and thick darkness upon the face of the Water as it was in the first Creation then put into it two drops more and thou shalt see the second light come out of the first darkness or rather light come out darkness and then by degrees each half quarter of an hour put in three four five six drops and then no more and thou shalt see appear before thy face on the surface of the Water by degrees one thing after another all things that God did create in six days and the manner of it and Secrets not to be spoken of or revealed which to reveal I have no power nor strength nor dare set down Be on the knees from the beginning of this operation let thine eyes be judge for thus was the World created You cannot but tremble when you shall see it let all alone it will vanish away in half an hour after it begins By this you shall know and see plainly those Mysteries of Divinity which now you are ignorant of as a Child although you thought your self a wise man and that you did understand Moses his Writings of the Creation but I say no more You will now see what Body Adam and Eve had before their Fall and what after their Fall what the Serpent was what the Tree was and what Fruit they did eat where and what Paradice is and what it was you will know What Bodies the Just shall rise in not these we received from Adam but that flesh and bloud which is born and begotten in us by the Holy Ghost and Water such as our blessed Lord brought from Heaven But I have done The Heavens YOu shall take seven pieces of Metals of each of the Metal● named after the Planets and on every one of them you shall stamp the sign or character of the Planets in the House of the Planet and let each piece be as big as a Rose-noble only let Mercury be of a quarter of an ounce and no impression on it Then put them as they stand in order in the Firmament into a Crucible and close all the windows in the Chamber and let it be dark and in the midst of the Chamber then melt them all together and drop in seven drops of the blessed Stone and presently out of the Crucible will come a fiery flame and spread it self round about the whole Chamber fear it not it will not hurt you the whole Chamber will shine brighter than the Sun and Moon and you shall see over your head the whole Firmament as it is above the Starrie Skie and the Sun Moon and Planets will go all round in their course just as it is in the Heavens Let it cease of it self in a quarter of an hour it is gone to its proper place Fellowship MOre then this if thou take the Stone each Full Moon when it is over the Horizon where thou art and go apart in a Garden and take some of the clear Rain-water as thou didst in the first operation and drop of thy white Stone as thou didst of thy red and there shall presently even to the Orb of the Moon ascend Exhalations in a strange manner and if thou observe this every month at the due time there is no Philosopher in the Horizon where thou livest that hath the knowledge of the Stone with the use of it but at the same time goeth out and looketh East and West North and South and finding such an Apparition as he soon seeth it he knoweth it is done by some Artist or other that desireth acquaintance with those that have the same Art and will presently in the same manner answer thee when thine is done thus shalt thou know all that have the use of the Stone To meet with thy fellow Philosophers do thus anoint thy temples with the white Stone that night and earnesily pray to know what that party is lay under thy head three Bay-leaves newly gathered and fix thy Imagination upon thy desire to know him so repose thy self to sleep and when thou dost awake thou wilt presently remember thy Vision as the Person his Name and the place of his abode if thou go not to him he will come to thee for perhaps he thinks thou dost not know this Secret The reason why this should be thus is this the universal Spirit of the Air which is inclosed in the Stone causeth it Thus mayst thou accompany thy self with all the wise men in the World who shall appear unto thee rather Beggars than Rich men and perhaps can teach thee more than I can or have done by this for indeed all things that are Natural are done by it a Volume would hardly contain them As to command and converse with Spirits which I forbear to set down I mean good Spirits is not this Angelical wisdom to know these things Astronomy Astrology and all the Arts of the Mathematicks are easily known in their perfection this being done that I have told thee nor is Scholarship required it is the gift of God You must know before you do these things you must take the Stone nine days as I prescribed first and it will make thee have an Angelical understanding thou wilt despise the World and all in it then thou wilt know how to serve God and understand the Scriptures I have written that which was never writ before think whether they be not Secrets and Arcana's and whether thou ought'st to shew this or not to any man but to him that hath the Stone I have now done charging thee to have a care of this Writing commanding thee to serve God for without thou do that thou wilt never have good of this Art serve him in Spirit and Truth and so to God I leave thee to direct thee in his ways Glory to God in the Highest Amen Nicolas Flammell's SUMMARY OF Philosophy Nicolas Flammell's Summary of Philosophy HE that desireth to know how Metals are transmuted he must know from what Matter they are and how they be formed in their Minerals and lest herein we err we must see and observe the transmutations as in the Veins of the Earth Minerals out of the Earth may be changed if they be before spiritualized that they may come into their Sulphur and Argent viv● Nature these are the two Sperms the one Masculine the other Feminine complexions and these are composed of the Elements the Male Sulphur is nothing but Fire and Air and true Sulphur is as a Fire but not the Vulgar which is of no Metallick substance the Feminine Sperm called Argent vive is nothing but Earth and Water These two Sperms old wise men called two Dragons or Serpents the one is winged the other not Sulphur not flying the Fire is without wings the winged Serpent is Argent vive born up by the Wind therefore in her certain hour she flieth from the Fire

IN this Book thou hast a most faithful and plain Manuduction to the greatest and most noble Secret of Nature Enjoy them in silence bless God and do good unto thy Neighbour and Successor as I do hereby to thee thou finder of this Book I have resolved with my self to write this short Treatise having been not only an eye-witness but also an actor of such high Mysteries of Nature as the World is not worthy of and the Wise of the World do scarce believe Which discourse may be of singular use to such as God shall please out of his infinite mercy to bestow the knowledge of this Stone upon to make the Stone of the Wise men so called or the Philosophers Stone which shall be of much use and benefit to those who are not yet capable of making the Stone it self for it shall illuminate the understanding of all that read it more than all the Books they shall read For it shall set down the Basis and Foundation wherein the wisdom of all the Philosophers doth lye I except none yet not so as to name that which no man durst in so plain words that every fool or lewd fellow may understand it as he may his A. B. C. when he reads it for that were to make my self accurs'd Whosoever thou be that readest this let me advise thee rather to fix thy mind and Soul on God in keeping his Commandments than upon the love of this Art which although it be the only nay all the wisdom of the World yet doth it come short of the Divine wisdom of the Soul which is the love of God in keeping his Commandments Yet let me tell thee he that shall have the blessing to make the Stone and find this Writing he shall see such Mysteries in Nature as shall make him of a wicked a good man or else a very Devil incarnate But I am perswaded it shall never be permitted to come to the hands of any but whom God knoweth fit for it and such as shall never abuse it Hast thou been covetous prophane be meek and holy and serve in all humility thy most glorious Creator if thou resolve not to do this thou dost but wash an Aethiopia● white and shalt waste an Earthly Estate hoping to attain this Science There is no Humane Art or Wit can snatch it from the Almighty's hand nor was it ever nor I am perswaded ever shall be given but to such as shall be of upright hearts Remember what King David saith The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom a good understanding have they that do thereafter and so if thou think to attain this wisdom which is the top of all wisdom and indeed Angelical wisdom and yet dost not fear the Lord thou dost give King David and in him the Holy Spirit the Lye which be far from every Christian heart But let me conclude my Preface with this If God bless thee with the Stone and thou have the enjoyment of this little Script and dost make that use of it that here is set down thou shalt see that which is not fit to be written yet I have set down in part what thou shalt see hereafter as thou shalt read pray and study pray with a faithful and earnest heart study with an honest heart and leave the issue to God to whom be Glory Amen The folly of the Students in this Noble Science and Art is this they set their minds and intentions on nothing but making of Gold and Silver and so they fall into this errour that Gold and Silver must be the ground-work of this goodly piece but that is false yet will I not now stand to disprove it for that were tedious it is sufficient that I vow upon my Soul it is not so nor any such matter yet it is true that it hath a true Golden and Metalline Nature But to proceed briefly know that the changing of imperfect Metals into Gold and Silver as it is the chief intent of the Alchymists so it was scarce any intent at all of the Ancient Philosophers and although it be to be done by this Art yet it is but a part and indeed the least part of the benefit that cometh by the Art yet I deny not but the possession of Gold and Silver is a great blessing especially got in this way because it freeth a man from want and being beholden to others as also that a man may do good to others to the poor and oppressed nay it is a happiness in this World to possess much but yet I affirm it the least happiness that cometh by the Philosophers Stone if the full use thereof be known Gold and Silver are goodly things and the enjoyment of them very delightful to covetous and wicked-minded men who do not trust in God and know him as they ought but a true searcher of this Wisdom is content as the Apostle saith with meat drink and cloaths viz. a competency I have a little exceeded in my exclamation against Riches because I know it befits not a wise man to love them when thou hast read all that I have set down thou wilt not value Wealth as thou wilt other Knowledge herein set down and contained for by the full knowledge of it the whole wisdom of Nature is to be grasped and embraced yea not only infinite Wealth and perfect Health a far greater blessing than Wealth but also the knowledge of all Animals Vegetables Minerals the Radix and Root of all which is the true Root of all Philosophy nay more of all the seven Liberal Sciences which in their full perfection are to be known by the knowledge of this Art and without it not one can be perfected nay more the artificial making of all precious Stones better than the Natural and of what greatness you please as Rubies Carbuncles Diamonds Jacinths Pearls Topases Saphirs Emeralds c. But this is not all for by the perfection of this Art which very few have attained unto all Natural Magick may be known all that Spirits can do except velocity may be performed by a true Philosopher though to ignorant men it seemeth supernatural all that is natural may be done by this Art wicked Spirits may be commanded and driven away in a word whatever is sublunary may be done by it All these things were known to Adam in his Innocency who had this Art in the highest perfection This man our first Father was in his inward parts or internal man made according to the
