air_n and_o earth_n be_v unseperable_a my_o son_n know_v this_o that_o mercury_n be_v the_o first_o of_o all_o thing_n for_o before_o time_n there_o be_v water_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n

by_o the_o will_n of_o god_n therefore_o mercury_n congeal_v sulphur_n and_o sulphur_n mercury_n neither_o can_v one_o of_o these_o be_v without_o the_o other_o as_o also_o they_o can_v be_v without_o their_o salt_n which_o be_v the_o chief_a mean_n by_o who_o help_n nature_n engender_v and_o bring_v forth_o all_o vegetal_n mineral_n and_o animal_n wherefore_o these_o three_o mercury_n salt_n and_o

and_o the_o salt_n be_v drown_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o element_n for_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o salt_n shall_v keep_v they_o unite_v by_o his_o sharpness_n and_o dryness_n notwithstanding_o it_o be_v a_o fly_a spirit_n but_o because_o it_o stick_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o mixture_n and_o be_v overcome_v of_o the_o fatness_n and_o combustible_a oil_n in_o which_o

which_o hold_v together_o the_o whole_a mixture_n of_o the_o element_n for_o when_o the_o spirit_n be_v go_v cut_v than_o the_o mixture_n be_v dissolve_v by_o itself_o and_o divide_v neither_o be_v there_o need_v of_o fire_n to_o expel_v the_o salt_n from_o the_o earth_n when_o the_o element_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o phece_n then_o be_v the_o salt_n also_o separate_v with_o it_o this_o salt_n be_v unknown_a to_o the_o ignorant_a therefore_o salt_n be_v the_o mean_a between_o the_o gross_a earthly_a part_n and_o the_o three_o fly_a spirit_n rest_v in_o the_o natural_a heat_n that_o

this_o salt_n shall_v never_o bring_v any_o to_o pass_v in_o art_n the_o philosopher_n call_v this_o salt_n a_o dry_a water_n and_o a_o lively_a salt_n but_o the_o ignorant_a thought_n they_o mean_v

the_o philosopher_n for_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n god_n will_v separate_v all_o the_o unclean_a phece_n and_o corruption_n that_o be_v in_o the_o element_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o a_o
