his turne I prescribe not here for any but such as looke after these principles and they must give mee leave to inform them if they be not perfect Masters of the art As for Libertie of opinion I rob not any man of it I am one that gives and takes and this to avoid Contentions I can suffer the School-man to follow his owne Placets so hee doth not hinder mee to follow mine In a word I can tolerate mens Errors and pitty them I can propound the truth and if it bee not follow'd it is satisfaction to mee That what I did was wel done A POST-SCRIPT To the READER THis small discourse was no sooner finished though by command but the same Authoritie recald their Commission and now being somewhat transformd I must as some mysteriously have done live a Tree Yet the wise know that Groves have their Durdals and I remember I have read of an Image who 's Hic fodias plac'd the substance in the shadow To bee plain I am silenc'd and though it bee in my power to speake yet I have Lawes as to this subject which I must not trangresse I have chosen therefore to oppose my present Freedom to my future Necessitie and to speake somthing thing at this time which I must never publickly speak hereafter There is no Defect in ought that I have written if I but tell you one thing which the Philosophers have omitted it is that which some Authors have cald Vas Naturae and Vas viride Saturni and Miriam cals it Vas Hermetis a menstruous substance it is and to speak the very Truth it is the Matrix of Nature wherein you must place the Universal sperm assoone as it appears beyond its Body The Heate of this Matrix is sulphureous and it is that which coagulats the sperm but common Fire though it bee most exactly regulated will never do it and in this point see that you bee not deceived This Matrix is the life of the sperm for it preserves and quickens it but beyond the Matrix it takes cold and dyes and nothing effectual can be generated thereof in a word without this Matrix you will never coagulate the Matter nor bring it to a minerall Complexion and herein also there is a certain measure to bee observed without which you will miscarrie in the practise of this Natural vessel speaks Miriam in these following words In omnibus corporibus est scientia sed Stoici propter eorum vitae brevitatem operis prolixitatem hoc unicum occultaverunt Illi vero invenerunt elementa tingentia ipsi docuerunt ea omnes Philosophi docent illa praeter vas Hermetis quia illud est Divinum sapientia Domini Gentibus occultatum illi qui illud ignorant nesciunt Regimen veritatis propter Vasis Hermetis Ignorantiam In the proportion and Regiment of this thing which they call their Vessel and sometimes their Fire consists all the secret and verily the performances thereof are so admirable and so speedy they are almost incredible Had I knowne this at first it had not been with mee as it hath been but every Event hath its time and so had I. This one thing to lay aside other Reasons doth not only perswade but convince mee That this Art was originally revealed to man for this I am sure of that man of himselfe could not possibly think of it for it is invisible it is removed from the eye and this out of a certaine Reverence and if by chance it comes into sight it withdrawes againe naturally for it is the secret of Nature even that which the Philosophers call primus Concubitus This is enough to a wise Artist at least it is all I intend to publish and now Reader farewell Felix qui potuit Rerum cognoscere Causas Atque Metus omnes inexorabile Fetum Subjecit pedibus strepitumque Acherontis avari Illum non populi Fasces non purpura Regum Flectit Infidos agitans discordia Fratres Non Res Romana perituraque Regna neque Ille Aut doluit miserans Inopom aut invidit habenti FINIS Reader THe neglects and omissions of the Presse are so grosse and so many that if it were not for thy sake more then any other consideration the Author would bee ashamed to list them Bee pleased to correct what others have corrupted and for meere peccadillos wee present them not thou hast here onely such Errors as may pervert thy judgment not thy candor In the Epistle Dedicat. pag. 2 lin 8 read I think it a happiness c. ibid. p. 3. l 4. r.
