that if you would bring your work to its effectual power and make your tincture to perfect the other simple mettals then 't is expedient that you put to your first matter and unite therewith a certain other metallick highly dignified body of near affinity to the aforesaid Prima materia and such as is most acceptable and grateful thereunto and you must reduce them into one body Even so is it here in the Theological work of the divine nature of the Son of God if we should well enjoy it and be made partakers thereof 't was behoovful that as it were another mettalline body that is flesh and blood the humanity or the humane nature which also is amongst all the highest dignified creatures of God in the earth the one that is nearest akin is also the most acceptable and the most grateful and besides is created after his nature adjoyned and united it self therewith and consequently 't was fitting that both were reduced and united into a certain undissolvable body But even as t is chiefly to be noted and observed in the aforementioned Philosophical work as we then informed you that even as this common or vulgar body of gold is not in the least agreeable or convenient for that work but because of its imperfection and many other various defects that it is subject unto is unprofitable and is to be accounted of as a dead thing and that likewise for that same reason there must be produced such a body as is clear and pure and without mixture and such as was never falsified by any deceit but is free from all impurity and without defect and what was never as yet debilitated in its eternal Sulphur Even so much less can there be or ought there to be any universal humane nature such as is conceived in sin polluted with original transgression and is daily falsified and defiled with real sins and preternatural infirmities under which all men do generally lie accepted of imputed to and incorporated with the divine essence of the Son of God but only the unmixed pure and perfect humanity void of all sin for if the earthly Adam who was but a creature only was afore the fall without sin and was an holy and perfect man how much more then is that celestial Adam which the only begotten Son of God hath in himself And therefore the celestial eternal fundamental and Corner-stone Jesus Christ according to the description of the Philosophick is and ever will be according to both his natures of a most highly admirable birth and rise and consequently of an unsearchable nature and property According or in relation to his divinity he was from eternity of the alone divine essence of his celestial and eternal Father true God yea the Son of God whose out-going as the Scripture testifies thereof was from the beginning and eternal Mich. 5. Psal. 2. Mat. 16. Col. 1. But as in reference to his humanity he was born in the fulness of time without sin and fault Isa. 53. John 8. according as the Scripture testifies a true and a perfect man with a body and also a soul Mat. 26. so that now he is of an indissolvable personal and God-man essence that is a true God and true man in one only person indissoluble to all eternity and must and ought to be so acknowledged and worshipped as God Omnipotent But yet notwithstanding it could be wished that the eyes of the greater part of the imaginary learned men were better opend and their dark spectacles and their sophistical vizards that hang before them were removed and that at length they might yet once recover their lost sight Luke 10. But especially all the Aristotelians and the sophisticate blind-sighted purblind as 't were in divine works amongst whom there have been so many various and divers disputations even to this very day in divine things too too unchristianlike nor is there any end at all of the manifold distinctions divisions and permixtions concerning the highly venerable Article of the union of natures and community as 't were of Idioms in Christ so well founded in the holy Scriptures 2 Tim. 3. But now if they will not believe God or his divine Word they may yet notwithstanding by the conjunction made of the said Chymicall work as afore-mentioned and by the unition of the two waters viz. of ☿ and ☉ know the essence and be able to feel him as it were with their fingers But alas the highest Scholastick art of their Ethnick or heathenish philosophy so little or meanly founded in the holy Scripture or in Christian Theologie and their fundamentals and Aristotelian precepts of no value or moment about substance and accidents and many other more devices do not at all lead them to the attainment thereof little considering that Tertullian that old man hath not in vain written That these Philosophers are the Patriarchs or chief Fathers of the Hereticks But we conceive it no waies worth our while to discourse more largely of this thing And moreover even as in the Philosophick work that said composition the two essences being conjoyned now together must be placed over the fire and be putrified ground or broken and be well boiled in which putrefaction and boyling there do until it be rendred more then perfect in the mean while manifold and various acts or scenes fall in between and divers colours do shew themselves about which you may find more written in the description of the terrene work Even so this God-man and man-God person Jesus Christ so appointed by God his heavenly Father in this world was cast into the firie furnace of tribulation and was therein well boyled as 't were that is he was encompassed with various troubles reproaches the Cross and tribulation and was changed and transmuted as 't were into various shapes that is he suffered hunger Mat. 4. then presently upon his receiving of baptism and after his devoting himself to the ministry of the preaching the holy divine Word he was by the impulse of the holy Spirit in the desart and there tempted by Satan and must there necessarily undergo with him a triple combate for a testimony and witness to all bought and purchased Christians as having entred upon Christianity and professing the faith of Christ are tempted by the Devil and are by various temptations again sollicited and enticed to a falling off from Christ. Likewise he was wearie in John 4. also he cryed and wept lamentably Luke 19. 41. also he trembled and was sore amazed Mark 14. he combated with death and sweated a sweat of blood was likewise taken and was bound Mat. 26. was smitten on the face by the high Priests servant was mocked derided spit on whipt crowned with thorns condemned to death and then fastned to the Cross which himself carried Joh. 19. betwixt two thieves had Gall and Vinegar given him to drink Psalm 69. and cryed out with a loud voice and commended his Spirit into the hands of God his Father expired
for the accomplishment of which the consideration of principles is very necessary as also by what way and medium nature doth at first go from imperfection to the end of perfection For the consideration whereof t is chiefly requisite most certainly to know that all things created by nature do consist of three principles viz. of natural Sulphur Mercury and Salt mixt into one so that in some things they are Volatile in other things fixt As often as a corporal Salt is throughly mixt with a spiritual Mercury and Animated Sulphur into one body then doth nature begin to work in subterranean places which serves for its vessels by a separating fire by which the gross and impure Sulphur is separated from the pure and the Earth from the Salt and the cloudiness from the Mercury those purer parts being reserved the which parts nature doth again decoct together into a pure Geogamick body The which Operation is accounted of by the Magi as a Mixtion and conjunction by the Union of the three viz. body soul and spirit This Union being compleated from thence doth result a pure Mercury the which if it flows through the subterrean passages and Veins thereof and mess with a Caheick Sulphur the Mercury is Coagulated by this Sulphur according to the condition of the Sulphur But notwithstanding t is as yet volatile and scarce decocted into a mettall for the space of an hundred years Thence arose this so much common an opinion that Mercury and Sulphur are the matter of mettals the which is also evident by the Relation of the Miners Yet common Mercury and common Sulphur are not the matter of mettals but the Mercury and Sulphur of the Philosophers are incorporated and innate in perfect mettals and in the forms of them that they never fly from the fire nor are depraved by the force of the corruption of the Elements Verily by the dissolution of that same natural mixtion our Mercury is tamed or subjected as all the Philosophers speak Under or from this form of words comes Mercury to be extracted out of perfect bodies and out of the virtues and puissance of the earthly planets The which Hermes affirms in these words The ☉ and ☽ saith he are the roots of this art The Son of Hamuel saith that the stone of the Philosophers is a Coagulated water viz. in Sol and Lune from whence t is evidently cleer that the matter of the stone is nothing else but ☉ ☽ this is also hereby confirmed in that every like thing generates and brings forth its like And we know that there are no more but two stones white and red there are alfo two matters of the stone Sol and Lune coupled together in a proper Matrimony both natural and artificial And as we see that either man or woman cannot generate without the seed of both in like manner our Man ☉ and his Woman ☽ cannot conceive or frame onght for generation without both their Seeds and Spermes Thence have the Philosophers gathered that a third thing is necessary viz. the Animated seed of both of man and woman without the which they have judged all their whole work to be vain and foolish Now such a Sperm is their Mercury the which by a natural conjunction of both bodies of ☉ and ☽ receives their nature into it self in Union and then at length and not before is the work fitted for congress ingress and Generation by the manly and feminine virtue and power On this account the Philosophers took occasion to say that Mercury is composed of body soul and spirit and that it hath assumed the nature property of all the Elements Therefore from a most powerfull ingenuity and discretion or understanding they have affirmed their stone to be animal the which also they have called their Adam who carryes his invâ—sible Eve hidden in his own body from that moment of time wherein they were united by the power of the most high God the framer of all the creatures for which cause it may deservedly be said that the Mercury of the Philosophers is nothing else but their most abstruse compounded Mercury and not that common ☿ Therefore have they discretly told the wise that there is in Mercury whatsoever the wise men seek Almadir the Philosopher saith we do extract our Mercury out of one perfect body and two perfect natural conditions incorporated together the which ☿ indeed doth thrust forth its perfection outwardly whereby t is able to resist the fire and that its intrinsecal imperfection may be defended by the extrinsecal perfections By this place of the most witty Philosopher is the Adamical matter understood the Limbus of the Microcosm the homogeneal Only matter of all the Philosophers whose sayings also which we have afore mentioned are meerly golden and to be had in most high esteem because they contain nothing superfluous or invalid Briefly therefore the matter of the Philosophers stone is nothing else but a fiery and perfect Mercury extracted by Nature and Art that is the artificially prepared and true Hermaphrodite Adam and Microcosm That most wise Mercurius the wisest of the Philosophers affirming the same hath called the stone an Orphan Therefore our Mercury is that very same that contains in it self the perfections forces and virtues of the Sun and which runs through the Streets and houses of all the Planets and in its regeneration hath acquired or gotten the virtue of things above and beneath to the marriage also of which things viz. above and below it is compared as is evident from the whiteness and redness wound or heaped up together therein CHAP. XVII Of the Preparation of the matter of the Philosophers stone THis is that which nature doth most chiefly require viz. that its own Philosophick man be brought into a Mercurial substance that it may spring forth into the Philosophick stone Moreover you are to note that those common preparations of Geber Albertus Magnus Th. Aquinas Rupescisca Polidorus and such like are nothing else but some particular Solutions Sublimations and Calcinations not at all pertaining to our Universal work which work doth want only the most secret fire of the Philosophers Therefore the fire and Azoth may suffice thee And whereas the Philosophers do make mention of some preparations as of putrefaction destillation sublimation calcination coagulation dealbation rubification ceration fixation c. you are to understand that in their Universal work Nature it self doth accomplish all the operations in the said matter and not the workman and that only in a Philosophical Vessel and with a such like fire not a common fire The white and the red do proceed out of one root without any medium T is dissolved by it self coupled by it self albifyes and rubifyes is made saffrony and black by it self marries itself and conceives in it self T is therefore to be decocted to be baked to be fused it ascends and descends All which Operations are indeed but one Operation made by the fire alone But yet
heavy which tingeth into perfect Gold Do not desist from the work which we have now mentioned until thou hast the signs or marks and seest the Lyon and Treasure not to be bought with at the the Treasure of the Tenth Lion or Leo the Tenth the Pope of Rome 'T is well for him that hath found it and knows how to apply it for Tincture This is the true Balsom of the Celestial Astrum◠or Stars the which suffers not any body to go into putrefaction nor doth it leave either Lepry Gout or Dropsie unexpelled by or in the administration of one grain if it shall be fermented with the Sulphur of Sol O thou German Charles Where 's thy Treasure Where be thy Doctors and Physicians Where are thy Boylers of Lignum Guaicum who do purge only and make Laxative What! Is thy Heaven thus provoked thy Stars thus wandred from the right course and thy straight Line declined unto another way What! are thine eyes transmuted into Glass and Carbuncle that they see those things only which pertain to ornament and to a superficial Spectacle disdain and pride Verily if thy Doctors did but know that their Prince whom they call Galen did live with the Infernal Spirits and that he wrote back from thence hither whereby he might make evidently known to the whole world the deserved Condemnation of himself they would out of meer astonishment flap themselves with the Foxes tail Nor is Avicen to be otherwise thought of but that he sits in the Porch of Hell with whom I have had some Disputation and Controversie about his Aurum potabile Philosophers Stone and Triacle O ye troop of Sophisters who plainly counterfeit the Medicinal Art whereas t is born from God and commited to Nature and not to you ye most unworthy men for ye do too too unworthily despise her Look to it O ye Cheaters of Mankinde Ye who love the upper Seats in the earth whereupon ye also sit After my decease shall my Disciples arise who shall lay you open ye Hypocrites and bring you abroad to the Light together with your most unclean Cooks ye miserably deceive your Princes and Christian Potentates and bring them to the grave by your Medicine Wo be unto you at the last Judgement day I hope that my Monarchy will triumph with the honour due unto me not that I extoll my self but Nature her self doth extoll me for 't is from her that I am born a Physitian her I follow she knows me and I her because I have seen the Light that is in her and have approved or made it good in the Figure of the Microcosm and have found it so in her world the which is true But to return to what I began I shall do enough for my Disciples on whom also I bestow my Doctrine do much favour them as long as they seek it in the light of nature so that they do make experience do get the knowledge of the Stars and become Learned in Philosophy the nature of the water and every thing that I have written will make apparent and teach all things unto them Take therefore as much as thou wilt of the Liquor of the Minerals of the Salt of the red earth two parts of the Sulphur of Sol one part let them be put in a Pellican be dissolved and Coagulated and that the third time By this way shalt thou have the tincture of the Alchymists the weight of which is not at all to be described in this place but in the book of transmutations Whosoever hath one ounce of the Astrum of the Sun and shall project it upon some ounce of Gold it shall tinge its own proper body If he hath the Astrum of ☿ he shall likewise tinge the whole body of Common Mercury If the Astrum of ☿ it shall in like manner tinge the whole body of Venus into the best Gold and into the highest and durable perfection The like is to be supposed of the Stars of the other Mettals as ♄ ♃ ♂ c. Out of all which also are the Tinctures to be extracted by the same reason or way and which we shall not at all describe here because they are to be had in the Book of the nature of things and of the Archidoxis In these few words I have abundantly enough declared to the true Alchymist the first Ens of the Mettals and Minerals of the Earth together with the Tincture of the Alchymists Nor is there any Cause why any Operator should be deterred with the space of nine moneths time but let him proceed on without tediousness in a Spagyrical way by which he shall be able in the space of fourty Alchymical days to fix extract exalt putrifie ferment and Coagulate the Stone of the Alchymists to the honour of God and profit of his Neighbour To GOD alone be Praise Honour and Glory for evermore Amen THE WATER-STONE OF THE VVise Men. THere have been ever since the beginning of the World in all Times and Seasons many and several men and most experienced Philosophers highly illuminated by GOD and likewise many Gentiles have been found at all times most learned in worldly wisdom who have most diligently considered of the nature and internal Vertues of the Creatures and have thereupon endeavoured to learn and know them exactly From the consideration of all which they bent their study and made it their task with much earnestness and labour to search out and enquire if any thing could be found in natural things that had a possibility of conserving the terrene or earthy body of man afore destruction and mortality came in in a perpetual life and in a whole or sound and prosperous state Now then by a singular Divine Influence and by the light of Nature they saw and knew that 't was expedient and fitting that this singular secret and wonderfull thing be in this world the which the Almighty God had appointed for the benefit of Mankinde viz. that all such things as throughout the whole universe were imperfect maimed and corrupted might be again renewed by that singular secret Arcanum and be again restored to their perfect fulness and State So then by this most diligent search and inquiry of theirs they at length found and learned that nothing at all was to be found in this world that could free the earthy and corruptible body from death the which was constituted and imposed upon our first Parents Adam and Eve as a punishment and never suffered it self to be separated from their off-spring and children but only this one thing the which being in it self not corruptible Naturally is appointed by God for the benefit of man to take away corruption and to be capable of healing again all imperfect bodies to purifie the old and to prolong the shortness of life as in the time of the Ancient Patriarchs These wonderfull Secrets the honest and skilfull Philosophers did with their greatest study and diligence so long search for and inquire after untill
heat of the Sun in the midst of Summer then at length on the tenth day let it be a little augmented For by too much heat the glasses break and sometimes also the furnace leaps a pieces Whiles the Vapour ascends various colours appear Let the fire be moderated and governed so long untill the matter be seen red Afterwards let it be dissolved in most sharp Vinegar and cast away the feces Let the Vinegar be abstracted and let it be again dissolved in common distilled water which must be again abstracted and the sediment be distilled with a most vehement fire in a glass most accurately shut then the whole body of the Antimony will ascend into a most red Oil resembling the colour of a Ruby and will flow down drop by drop into the receiver of a most fragrant Odour and most sweet Savour This is the highest Arcanum of the Philosophers in Antimony the which most of them make or place amongst the Arcana's of Oils Then lastly let the Oil of Sol be made after this manner Take of the purest Sol as much as you will the which you must dissolve in rectified spirit of Wine Let the spirit be sometimes abstracted therefrom and be again so often dissolved Let the last Solution be kept with the spirit of wine and circulated for a moneth Afterwards let the the Volatile gold be distilled and the spirit of Wine by an Alembick three or four times that it may fall down into the Receiver and be brought into its highest essence To half an ounce of that dissolved gold let one Ounce of the oil of Antimony be added This Oil doth presently embrace the other in the heat of a B. So that it doth not easily let it go from it self although the spirit of Wine be abstracted By this way shalt thou have the highest mystery of Nature and an Arcanum which cant be equalled by any thing in the nature of things These two Oils thus united after the manner thus spoken of are to be shut up in a Phial and hanged up in a Tripode for a Philosophical moneth and to be cherished with a most gentle fire Although if the fire be tempered after a due proportion this work will be finished in one and thirty dayes and brought unto perfection whereby Mercury and all other Imperfect mettals do acquire the perfection of Gold CHAP. XV. Of the Projection to be made by the Ministry and Arcanum of Antitimony THere can be no weight assigned in this work of projection although the Tincture it self may be drawn from some subject by or in a certain and sure proportion and fit instruments for that medicine doth tinge sometimes thirty or fourty sometimes sixty eighty and an hundred parts of imperfect mettal so that the chiefest knack or art in this business is about the mundation or cleaning of the medicine and in the industry of the operator also according to the greater or lesser cleaness and purity of the Imperfect body used hereabouts For example One Venus is purer then another ♀ from whence it comes to pass that a determinate weight in projection cannot be had This only is worth the noting that if it chanceth that the Operator hath taken too much tincture he may correct this error by the addition of more imperfect mettal But if there be too much of the subject whereby the virtues of the Tincture are rendred too weak this fault may be remedied easily by the Cineritium or Test or by Cementations or by ablutions with Crude Antimony as to this part of work there 's nothing that may hinder the Operator only he 's to set that before himself which is omitted by all the Philosophers and of purpose concealed by some viz. in projections the revivification of imperfect bodies is necessary that is the Animation or as I may so call it the spiritualization of them concerning which some have said that their mettals ate not the vulgar because they live and have a soul. The Animation is thus done TAke Venus reduce it into thin Plates as much as you will ten twenty or forty pound let them be incrustrated or smeared over with a pulse made only of Arsenick and calcined Tartar and let them be calcined in their Vessel for the space of four and twenty hours then at length let the Venus be beaten into powder be washed and cleansed exceeding well Let the Calcination be repeated together with the ablutions three or four times By this way it becomes purged and cleansed from its gross viridity and its unclean Sulphur Verily yon must beware of the Calcinations that are made with common Sulphur for it doth wholly deprave all the good is in a mettal and renders that which is evil worse Now to ten Marks of that putged Venus let be added one of pure Lune But that by the projection of the medicine the work may be the sooner accelerated and hastned and that it may the more easily penetrate the imperfect body and expell all such parts as are contrary to the natute of Lune that very thing may be easily done by the medium of a perfect ferment For the work is defiled by an unclean Sulphur so that there will be as t were a cloud stretched over the superficies of that which is transmuted or the mettal will be mixed with some of the Offals or Scoria's of the Sulphur and be cast away with them But verily if you would project of the red stone for the red transmutation it must first fall or be projected upon Gold and afterward upon Lune or upon any other purged mettal as we have declared above then from thence doth come most perfect Gold CHAP. XVI Of the Vniversal matter of the stone of the Philosophers AFter the mortification of Vegetables they by the concurrence of two Minerals as Sulphur and Salt are transmuted into a Mineral nature so that at length they become perfect minerals for in the Mineral holes and dens and wide fields of the earth are found Vegetables which in long success of time and by the continued heat of Sulphur do pu◠off the Vegetable nature and put on a Mineral And that doth chiefly happen where the appropriate nutriment is taken away from these Vegetables whereby they are afterwards constrained to take their nourishment from the Sulphurs and Salts of the earth so long untill that which was afore a Vegetable do pass into a perfect Mineral And thus out of this Mineral condition a certain perfect Mettallick essence doth sometimes arise and that by the progress of one degree into another But to return to the stone of the Philosophers the matter whereof as some have mentioned is a most difficult matter of all others to be found out and abstruse for the understanding Now the way and the most certain rule of the finding out of this as well as of all other things what they contain or are able to do is a most diligent examination of their Root and Sperm whereby knowledge is attained
the which doth especially teach viz. how the evil and impure is to be known and distinguished from the good and pure by which Prov. 2. the inbecillity and corruption of nature may be succoured and a right promotion or forwarding may be administred the which then in the augmentation and encrease of Mettals may be compared after such a like manner as the endeavours of them are that would afford help to the ripening of any fruit that by some accident or other hath been impeded from arriving to a just maturity or that obtain of one little grain or seed a manifold encrease and it may be done and perfected with a very mean price As for the other sophisticate and false-chymick Art I do not at all mean that nor understand it neither do I desire to learn it Eccles. 3. For albeit those kind of masters do therein prate of many a crooked way and do vainly promise meer golden Mountains which notwithstanding are haply far enough off from them yet that false Chymick art bestows nothing at all constant but is only wont to spend much charges and costs and procure rash labours and doth finally oftentimes waste away the body and life it self And therefore if there be some one or other of those kind of Chymists that thou maist meet withall who brag of the true Chymical Art and of such an Art as is agreeable to nature and would willingly teach it thee or any other body for the sake of money and pretend that themselves are not able to disburse the costs and charges that belong thereunto then be faithfully admonished that thou dost not trust such men too much for most times there lies a Snake in the grass Mich. 2. If I should be of an erring spirit c. Besides I can truly affirm that all the cost which haply is to be expended about the whole universal work setting aside the daily food and nourishing or sustaining of the fire doth not exceed the price of 3. Florins for the matter as we have heard above is partly vile or abject and by reason of that its vileness partly contemptible as it were and is every-where to be found more then enough for the supply of your necessity and that without much trouble So also the labour is easie and not very laborious or painful Briefly the whole Art is most simply and most easily comprehended by the pious and by such as are chosen by God thereunto Psal. 112. But 't is most difficult to the impious and wicked and in a manner impossible Prov. 3. And now that I may at length finish my Epilogue therefore I shall as for a farewel communicate this likewise unto thee viz. that if the omnipotent God shall bestow upon thee his grace in revealing to thee that pious and holy Art then must thou rightly use it and be a silent man and for the sake of that thing put a strong bolt before thy mouth Eccl. 23. O that I could keep c. v. 7. c. and shut it fast lest haply thy arrogancy and pride throw thee headlong as well by God as men into danger and loss and into temporal and eternal destruction And therefore have an especial care thereunto Whoever seeketh riches by this holy Art Let him be pious and simple silent and upright He that doth not thus shall on the contrary Be made poor beggerly bare and miserable All these things my beloved friend as well for admonitions as valedictions sake I would not have concealed from thee being fraught with an undoubted hope that thou hast sufficiently understood me in all points unless God hath barred up thine eyes and ears for verily I could not disclose it more faithfully and expresly nor describe it more manifestly with the keeping of a good conscience then I have done So therefore if thou art not able to understand or learn it from hence then verily I fear me that thou wilt most hardly comprehend it by any other institution The Appendix KNow likewise that if by reason of that gift vouchsafed thee by God thou hap to wax proud or to be covetous under the cover or excuse of a provident care of thy family and sparingness and dost hereby tempt thy self to a turning away from God by little and little then know for I speak the truth that that Art will vanish from under thy hands insomuch that thou shalt not know how thou didst it The which thing verily hath befallen more then one beyond their expectation In the Summary c. 't is written IF thou followest this my doctrine and beest pious And takest the matter that I have related unto thee If likewise thou preparest it after the accustomed manner Thou shalt have the treasures of the whole World But now if thy intention be good and that thou beest careful of good things the Omnipotent God may most graciously bestow upon thee his favour and divine blessing The which thing I pray God from the very root of my heart to bestow upon thee A Prayer O Omnipotent eternal God the Heavenly Father of Light from whom even every good and perfect thing proceeds We beseech thee of thy Infinite mercy to vouchsafe us rightly to know thine eternal wisedome which is continually about thy Throne and by which all things were created and made and are governed and preserved even to this very day send it us from thy holy Heaven and from the Throne of thy glory that it may be together with us and may assist us in our labour because it is the mistress of all Celestial and hidden Arts yea it also knows and understands all things Grant that it may in some measure accompany us in all works that so by the Spirit thereof we may certainly and without any errour learn the true understanding and infallible process of this most noble Art that is the miraculous Stone of the Wise men which thou hast hidden from the World and art wont to reveal to thine elect only and may then first begin rightly and truly that highest and chiefest work that we can here accomplish and may constantly proceed in that same labour and also at length happily finish it and may eternally enjoy it with rejoycing through that Celestial and from eternity founded miraculous Corner-stone Jesus Christ who together with thee O God the Father and with the Holy Spirit true God in one divine indissoluble essence ruleth and reigneth a tri-une God most worthy of praise for ever and evermore Amen Joshua 21. v. 43 45.
