be_v well_o advise_v that_o saturn_n be_v easy_o reduce_v from_o its_o calx_fw-la but_o jupiter_n most_o difficulty_n therefore_o let_v he_o be_v careful_a that_o he_o err_v not_o in_o expose_v saturn_n after_o its_o first_o pulverization_n to_o too_o great_a a_o fire_n and_o so_o reduce_v the_o calx_fw-la into_o body_n before_o it_o be_v perfect_v for_o he_o need_v temperance_n of_o fire_n and_o that_o leisurely_o augment_v by_o degree_n with_o caution_n until_o it_o be_v confirm_v in_o its_o calx_fw-la prove_v not_o so_o easy_o reducible_a that_o a_o great_a fire_n may_v be_v administer_v to_o it_o for_o complete_o perfect_v its_o calx_fw-la likewise_o he_o must_v be_v careful_a that_o he_o err_v not_o in_o jupiter_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o difficult_a reduction_n so_o that_o when_o he_o intend_v to_o reduce_v its_o calx_fw-la he_o find_v it_o not_o reduce_v but_o in_o its_o former_a condition_n or_o turn_v into_o glass_n and_o thence_o he_o conclude_v its_o reduction_n impossible_a for_o we_o say_v if_o a_o great_a fire_n be_v not_o administer_v in_o the_o reduction_n of_o tin_n it_o reduce_v not_o and_o if_o a_o great_a fire_n be_v administer_v it_o do_v not_o necessary_o happen_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v reduce_v but_o it_o be_v possible_a it_o may_v be_v convert_v to_o glass_n and_o that_o be_v because_o jupiter_n in_o the_o profundity_n of_o its_o nature_n have_v the_o fugitive_a substance_n of_o argentvive_v include_v which_o if_o keep_v long_o in_o fire_n fly_v away_o and_o leave_v the_o body_n deprive_v of_o humidity_n so_o that_o it_o be_v find_v more_o apt_a for_o vitrification_n than_o to_o be_v convert_v to_o the_o fusion_n of_o a_o metallick_n body_n for_o every_o thing_n deprive_v of_o its_o proper_a humidity_n give_v no_o other_o than_o a_o vitrificatory_a fusion_n whence_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o artist_n must_v hasten_v to_o reduce_v it_o swift_o with_o the_o speedy_a force_n of_o a_o violent_a fire_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v no●_n reduce_v therefore_o let_v he_o practise_v therein_o and_o he_o will_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o the_o way_n of_o calcination_n of_o these_o two_o body_n which_o be_v perform_v by_o the_o acuity_n of_o salt_n be_v that_o quantity_n after_o quantity_n of_o salt_n be_v very_o often_o cast_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o fusion_n and_o permix_v by_o much_o agitation_n with_o a_o rod_n of_o iron_n over_o the_o fire_n until_o by_o mixtion_n of_o the_o salt_n they_o be_v turn_v into_o ash_n and_o afterward_o by_o the_o same_o way_n of_o perfection_n the_o calx_n of_o they_o be_v perfect_v with_o their_o consideration_n but_o in_o this_o also_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o the_o calcination_n of_o these_o two_o body_n for_o lead_v with_o the_o first_o labour_n of_o calcinatitn_n be_v more_o easy_o convert_v to_o powder_n than_o tin_n yet_o the_o calx_fw-la of_o it_o be_v not_o more_o easy_o perfect_v than_o the_o calx_fw-la of_o tin_n the_o cause_n of_o this_o diversity_n be_v because_o saturn_n have_v a_o more_o fix_a humidity_n than_o jupiter_n of_o venus_n and_o mars_n the_o way_n of_o calcination_n be_v one_o yet_o diverse_a from_o the_o former_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o difficulty_n of_o their_o liquefaction_n and_o it_o be_v this_o either_o of_o these_o body_n reduce_v into_o plate_n must_v be_v heat_n red_a hot_a but_o not_o melt_v for_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o earthiness_n in_o they_o and_o the_o large_a measure_n they_o have_v of_o adustive_a and_o fly_a sulphureity_n they_o be_v easy_o this_o way_n deduce_v into_o calx_fw-la and_o that_o therefore_o be_v because_o by_o reason_n of_o much_o earthiness_n mix_v with_o the_o substance_n of_o argentvive_v the_o due_a continuation_n of_o argentvive_n be_v disturb_v therefore_o porosity_n be_v cause_v i●_n they_o through_o which_o the_o sulphureity_n pass_v may_v fly_v away_o and_o the_o fire_n by_o that_o mean_n have_v access_n to_o it_o burn_v and_o elevate_v the_o same_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o part_n be_v make_v more_o rare_a and_o through_o discontinuity_n of_o the_o rarity_n convert_v into_o ash_n the_o experience_n of_o this_o be_v manifest_a because_o plate_n of_o copper_n expose_v to_o ignition_n yield_v a_o sulphureous_a flame_n and_o cause_v pulverizable_a scale_n in_o their_o superficies_n and_o that_o therefore_o be_v because_o from_o the_o part_n more_o nigh_o a_o more_o easy_a combustion_n of_o sulphur_n must_v necessary_o be_v make_v but_o the_o form_n of_o the_o furnace_n of_o this_o calcination_n be_v the_o same_o with_o the_o form_n of_o the_o furnace_n of_o distillation_n only_o that_o this_o must_v have_v one_o great_a hole_n leave_v in_o the_o crown_n of_o it_o whence_o it_o may_v free_v itself_o from_o fumosity_n and_o the_o site_n of_o thing_n to_o be_v calcine_v must_v be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o furnace_n that_o the_o fire_n may_v have_v free_a

that_o to_o they_o approach_v to_o fixation_n be_v administer_v fire_n gradual_o and_o very_o leisurely_o increase_v that_o they_o fly_v not_o until_o they_o be_v able_a to_o sustain_v the_o great_a

be_v likewise_o calcine_v yet_o we_o be_v excuse_v from_o great_a labour_n than_o what_o must_v be_v employ_v in_o prevent_v their_o flight_n because_o other_o thing_n unless_o spirit_n and_o what_o be_v nigh_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o spirit_n fly_v not_o chap._n xv._o of_o solution_n and_o its_o cause_n now_o we_o intend_v to_o speak_v of_o solution_n solution_n be_v the_o reduction_n of_o a_o dry_a thing_n into_o water_n therefore_o we_o say_v that_o every_o perfection_n of_o solution_n be_v complete_v with_o subtle_a water_n and_o especial_o the_o acute_a and_o sharp_a and_o saline_a water_n have_v no_o fece_n as_o be_v distil_v vinegar_n sour_a grape_n pear_n of_o very_a great_a sharpness_n pomegranate_n and_o the_o like_a of_o these_o distil_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o invention_n of_o this_o be_v the_o subtiliation_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o neither_o have_v fusion_n nor_o ingress_n by_o which_o be_v lose_v the_o great_a utility_n of_o fix_a spirit_n and_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o their_o nature_n for_o every_o thing_n which_o be_v dissolve_v must_v necessary_o have_v the_o nature_n of_o salt_n or_o of_o allom_n or_o of_o their_o like_a and_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o be_v that_o they_o give_v fusion_n before_o their_o vitrification_n therefore_o spirit_n dissolve_v will_v likewise_o give_v like_o fusion_n and_o since_o they_o in_o their_o own_o nature_n agree_v with_o body_n and_o each_o with_o other_o fusion_n be_v acquire_v they_o must_v by_o that_o necessary_o penetrate_v body_n and_o penetrate_a transmute_v the_o same_o but_o they_o neither_o penetrate_v nor_o trasmute_v without_o our_o magistery_n which_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o after_o solution_n and_o coagulation_n of_o the_o body_n to_o it_o be_v administer_v some_o one_o of_o the_o spirit_n purify_v not_o fix_v and_o that_o so_o often_o sublime_v from_o it_o as_o until_o it_o remain_v with_o it_o and_o give_v to_o it_o a_o more_o swift_a fusion_n and_o conserve_v the_o same_o in_o fusion_n from_o vitrification_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o spirit_n be_v not_o to_o be_v vitrify_v and_o to_o preserve_v the_o mixture_n from_o vitrification_n as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v in_o it_o therefore_o the_o spirit_n which_o more_o retain_v the_o nature_n of_o spirit_n more_o defend_v from_o vitrification_n but_o a_o spirit_n only_o purify_v more_o preserve_n than_o a_o spirit_n purify_v calcine_v and_o dissolve_v therefore_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n of_o mix_v such_o a_o spirit_n with_o the_o body_n for_o from_o these_o result_v good_a fusion_n and_o ingress_n and_o firm_a fixation_n but_o we_o be_v able_a to_o prove_v by_o the_o work_v of_o nature_n that_o thing_n only_o hold_v the_o nature_n of_o salt_n allom_n and_o the_o like_a be_v soluble_a for_o consider_v we_o find_v in_o all_o her_o work_n no_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v dissolve_v but_o they_o therefore_o whatsoever_o be_v dissolve_v they_o must_v necessary_o be_v dissolve_v by_o their_o nature_n yet_o because_o we_o see_v all_o thing_n true_o calcine_v to_o be_v dissolve_v by_o reiteration_n of_o calcination_n and_o solution_n therefore_o we_o by_o that_o prove_v that_o all_o calcinates_n approach_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o salt_n and_o allom_n therefore_o must_v necessary_o be_v themselves_o attend_v with_o those_o property_n but_o the_o way_n of_o solution_n be_v
