true_a gold_n be_v make_v thereby_o then_o indeed_o it_o will_v not_o be_v doubt_v both_o concern_v the_o truth_n and_o benefit_n thereof_o but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o imperfect_a metal_n be_v

they_o can_v be_v due_o coct_v will_v also_o be_v perfect_a and_o see_v nothing_o hinder_v in_o the_o matter_n but_o this_o may_v be_v do_v because_o out_o of_o one_o fountain_n all_o metal_n have_v proceed_v to_o wit_n crude_a mercury_n cold_a and_o moist_a in_o which_o there_o have_v be_v no_o difference_n between_o sol_n and_o saturn_n but_o only_o what_o nature_n work_v after_o ward_n in_o this_o matter_n to_o wit_n decoct_v it_o more_o or_o less_o this_o alone_a have_v make_v the_o diversity_n therefore_o all_o other_o metal_n may_v be_v perfect_v into_o sol_n to_o wit_n by_o the_o help_n of_o our_o divine_a and_o most_o perfect_a magistery_n which_o be_v project_v upon_o imperfect_a metal_n be_v able_a so_o far_o to_o perfect_v they_o by_o decoct_v as_o it_o be_v of_o a_o more_o than_o due_a perfection_n require_v in_o gold_n here_o therefore_o we_o may_v observe_v of_o how_o great_a virtue_n and_o spiritual_a a_o nature_n this_o our_o divine_a stone_n be_v which_o can_v perfect_v that_o in_o one_o hour_n above_o the_o earth_n by_o a_o bare_a projection_n which_o nature_n can_v not_o have_v perfect_v by_o subterranean_a operation_n therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a here_o what_o nature_n help_v by_o art_n can_v do_v for_o that_o our_o stone_n as_o it_o be_v perfect_v by_o nature_n without_o the_o help_n of_o art_n be_v only_o of_o vnary_a virtue_n but_o the_o virtue_n which_o be_v acquire_v by_o art_n nature_n cooperate_a and_o assist_a be_v denary_a in_o every_o regimen_n that_o be_v after_o a_o manner_n infinite_a for_o it_o can_v be_v

and_o perfect_o ting_v it_o but_o if_o the_o dissolution_n and_o coagulation_n be_v iterate_v thou_o shall_v try_v to_o promote_v this_o medicine_n further_o behold_v it_o be_v extend_v in_o infinitem_fw-la for_o you_o shall_v soon_o want_v wit_n to_o compute_v than_o the_o elixir_n virtue_n to_o penetrate_v and_o thing_fw-mi not_o that_o immediate_o by_o its_o corporeal_a touch_n it_o tinge_v the_o whole_a but_o by_o its_o virtue_n and_o influence_n pass_v through_o the_o whole_a since_o the_o least_o particle_n of_o the_o imperfect_a body_n be_v touch_v and_o tinge_v immediate_o by_o the_o medicine_n but_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o every_o part_n be_v tinge_v by_o the_o contagious_a part_n like_o leaven_n therefore_o the_o elixir_n tinge_v that_o which_o it_o touch_v more_o immediate_o with_o a_o tincture_n a_o little_a more_o feeble_a than_o it_o be_v itself_o this_o again_o ferment_n that_o which_o be_v near_a it_o by_o communicate_v the_o tincture_n and_o that_o so_o long_o until_o the_o whole_a mass_n be_v bring_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o true_a gold_n but_o this_o be_v do_v in_o a_o short_a space_n of_o time_n because_o of_o the_o spirituality_n of_o our_o agent_n which_o be_v a_o true_a metallick_n fire_n like_o that_o elemetary_n one_o do_v imperceptible_o warm_a and_o penetrate_v the_o hard_a body_n even_o those_o part_n which_o be_v not_o touch_v by_o the_o coal_n and_o so_o this_o do_v penetrate_v with_o its_o virtue_n metal_n be_v resolve_v by_o the_o fire_n and_o fused_a in_o a_o moment_n so_o it_o have_v often_o time_n be_v observe_v that_o dow_n be_v ferment_v by_o the_o ferment_n even_o that_o outward_a part_n which_o the_o corporeal_a part_n of_o the_o ferment_n never_o touch_v just_o so_o it_o be_v do_v in_o this_o work_n observe_v therefore_o how_o natural_a this_o progress_n be_v in_o this_o work_n for_o we_o do_v not_o profess_v to_o create_v gold_n and_o silver_n as_o some_o reproacher_n false_o object_n by_o our_o

but_o of_o a_o inequal_a digestion_n and_o therefore_o remain_v imperfect_a which_o by_o the_o projection_n of_o our_o arcanum_n upon_o they_o we_o digest_v and_o perfect_a after_o this_o manner_n since_o nothing_o else_o be_v require_v to_o perfect_a they_o beside_o this_o simple_a decoction_n of_o their_o crudity_n which_o our_o medicine_n can_v abundant_o perform_v ho_o therefore_o you_o son_n of_o learning_n attend_v to_o i_o because_o i_o will_v make_v know_v to_o you_o the_o whole_a secret_n of_o our_o stone_n which_o be_v not_o a_o stone_n and_o it_o be_v in_o every_o man_n and_o may_v be_v find_v in_o its_o own_o place_n at_o all_o time_n if_o you_o have_v this_o you_o have_v the_o most_o precious_a thing_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o it_o be_v divine_a and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v communicate_v to_o all_o but_o to_o you_o son_n of_o learning_n i_o will_v manifest_v the_o whole_a thing_n neither_o will_v i_o conceal_v any_o thing_n necessary_a to_o this_o

transmutation_n to_o wit_n that_o a_o thing_n destine_v to_o perfection_n but_o be_v leave_v imperfect_a through_o defect_n of_o decoction_n may_v by_o the_o application_n of_o a_o agent_n of_o the_o

agent_n be_v of_o a_o more_o exuberant_a maturity_n and_o more_o than_o perfect_a virtue_n but_o our_o stone_n be_v such_o to_o all_o other_o imperfect_a metal_n whence_o we_o conclude_v without_o controversy_n that_o these_o be_v transmutable_a thereby_o into_o gold_n and_o silver_n consider_v therefore_o you_o lover_n of_o wisdom_n what_o and_o of_o what_o kind_n that_o aught_o to_o be_v which_o can_v perform_v this_o which_o by_o the_o philosopher_n be_v call_v a_o stone_n but_o it_o be_v in_o every_o man_n and_o in_o every_o thing_n and_o at_o every_o time_n of_o the_o year_n to_o

those_o not_o simple_o but_o compound_v and_o anatize_v that_o be_v every_o element_n be_v to_o be_v know_v by_o its_o quality_n therefore_o in_o every_o thing_n be_v our_o stone_n or_o every_o

conceal_v this_o arcanum_n from_o all_o unworthy_a person_n our_o stone_n do_v not_o draw_v its_o original_a elsewhere_o then_o from_o metal_n &_o those_o the_o most_o perfect_a but_o you_o shall_v suffer_v common_a operator_n in_o this_o art_n to_o seek_v it_o in_o all_o thing_n extraneous_a but_o as_o many_o of_o you_o as_o be_v lover_n of_o truth_n do_v attempt_v to_o find_v it_o out_o else_o where_o then_o in_o metal_n for_o this_o be_v our_o one_o nay_o only_a true_a principle_n but_o what_o that_o be_v it_o will_v be_v your_o part_n to_o observe_v neither_o to_o induce_v any_o

shall_v be_v ignorant_a what_o our_o only_a true_a principle_n be_v but_o i_o do_v make_v know_v this_o to_o you_o remember_v therefore_o that_o a_o lion_n be_v generate_v of_o a_o lion_n a_o man_n of_o a_o man_n but_o to_o expect_v the_o generation_n of_o these_o from_o other_o thing_n it_o will_v be_v absurd_a and_o ridioulous_a combustible_n be_v produce_v even_o as_o combustible_n incorruptibles_fw-fr as_o incorruptibles_fw-fr do_v you_o expect_v to_o gather_v grape_n from_o thistle_n or_o rose_n from_o thorn_n it_o will_v be_v so_o absurd_a if_o any_o shall_v go_v about_o to_o

to_o light_n but_o by_o this_o and_o putrefaction_n must_v go_v before_o regeneration_n and_o when_o these_o two_o fight_n with_o one_o another_o they_o make_v a_o unnatural_a fire_n and_o from_o
