etc._n etc._n the_o three_o be_v the_o natural_a fire_n of_o our_o water_n which_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v also_o call_v fire_n against_o nature_n because_o it_o be_v water_n and_o yet_o nevertheless_o it_o make_v a_o mere_a spirit_n of_o gold_n which_o common_a fire_n can_v do_v this_o fire_n be_v mineral_n equal_a and_o partake_v of_o sulphur_n it_o break_v congeal_v dissolve_v and_o calcines_fw-la all_o this_o be_v pierce_v subtle_a not_o burn_v and_o it_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o live_a water_n wherein_o the_o king_n and_o queen_n bathe_v themselves_o whereof_o we_o have_v need_n in_o the_o whole_a work_v in_o the_o beginning_n middle_a and_o end_v but_o the_o other_o two_o abovesaid_a we_o do_v not_o always_o need_v but_o only_o sometime_o join_v therefore_o in_o the_o read_n the_o book_n of_o philosopher_n these_o three_o sort_n of_o fire_n and_o without_o doubt_n thou_o shall_v understand_v all_o their_o cavillation_n concern_v their_o fire_n as_o touch_v the_o colour_n he_o that_o do_v not_o make_v black_a can_v make_v white_a because_o blackness_n be_v the_o begin_n of_o whiteness_n and_o a_o sign_n of_o putrefaction_n and_o alteration_n and_o that_o the_o body_n be_v now_o pierce_v and_o mortify_v therefore_o in_o the_o putrefaction_n in_o this_o water_n there_o first_o appear_v blackness_n like_v unto_o the_o broth_n wherein_o blood_n or_o some_o bloody_a thing_n be_v boil_a second_o the_o black_a earth_n by_o continual_a decoction_n be_v whiten_v because_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o two_o body_n swim_v aloft_o upon_o the_o water_n like_o white_a cream_n and_o in_o this_o only_a whiteness_n all_o the_o spirit_n be_v so_o unite_v that_o they_o can_v never_o fly_v from_o one_o another_o and_o therefore_o the_o leton_n must_v be_v whiten_v and_o tear_v the_o book_n lest_o our_o heart_n be_v break_v for_o this_o entire_a whiteness_n be_v the_o true_a stone_n to_o the_o white_a and_o the_o body_n ennoble_v by_o the_o necessity_n of_o his_o end_n and_o the_o tincture_n of_o whiteness_n of_o a_o most_o exuberant_a reflection_n and_o shine_a brightness_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o a_o body_n never_o ●●parteth_v from_o it_o here_o then_o note_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o fix_v but_o in_o the_o white_a colour_n which_o by_o consequent_a be_v more_o noble_a than_o the_o other_o colour_n and_o aught_o more_o earnest_o to_o be_v desire_v consider_v it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o compliment_n &_o perfection_n of_o the_o whole_a work_n for_o our_o earth_n be_v first_o putrify_v in_o blackness_n than_o it_o be_v cleanse_v in_o the_o elevation_n or_o lift_v up_o afterward_o be_v dry_v the_o blackness_n depart_v and_o then_o it_o be_v whiten_v and_o the_o dark_a moist_a dominion_n of_o the_o woman_n perish_v and_o then_o the_o white_a fume_n pierce_v into_o the_o new_a body_n and_o the_o spirit_n be_v shut_v up_o or_o bind_v together_o in_o dryness_n and_o that_o which_o be_v corrupt_v deform_a and_o black_a with_o moisture_n vanish_v and_o then_o the_o new_a body_n rise_v again_o clear_a white_a and_o immortal_a get_v the_o victory_n overall_a his_o enemy_n and_o as_o heat_v work_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v moist_a cause_v or_o engender_v blackness_n which_o be_v the_o first_o colour_n so_o by_o decoction_n ever_o more_o and_o more_o heat_n work_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v dry_a beget_v whiteness_n which_o be_v the_o second_o colour_n and_o afterward_o work_v upon_o that_o which_o be_v pure_o &_o perfect_o dry_a it_o cause_v citrinity_n and_o redness_n and_o so_o much_o concern_v the_o colour_n we_o must_v therefore_o understand_v that_o the_o thing_n which_o have_v the_o head_n red_a and_o white_a the_o foot_n white_a and_o afterward_o red_a and_o yet_o before_o that_o the_o eye_n black_a this_o only_a thing_n be_v our_o mastery_n dissolve_v then_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n in_o our_o dissolve_v water_n which_o be_v familiar_a friendly_a and_o of_o the_o next_o nature_n unto_o they_o which_o be_v likewise_o to_o they_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o womb_n a_o mother_n a_o original_a the_o beginning_n and_o the_o end_n of_o life_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o be_v amend_v in_o this_o water_n because_o nature_n rejoice_v in_o nature_n and_o nature_n contain_v nature_n and_o in_o true_a marriage_n they_o be_v join_v together_o and_o make_v one_o nature_n one_o new_a body_n raise_v up_o and_o immortal_a and_o thus_o we_o must_v join_v consanguinity_n with_o consanguinity_n and_o then_o these_o nature_n will_v meet_v and_o follow_v one_o another_o putrify_v themselves_o engender_v themselves_o and_o make_v one_o another_o rejoice_v because_o nature_n be_v govern_v by_o nature_n which_o be_v near_a and_o most_o friendly_a to_o it_o our_o water_n then_o say_v danthin_n be_v the_o most_o pleasant_a fair_a and_o clear_a fountain_n prepare_v only_o for_o the_o king_n &_o queen_n who_o it_o know_v very_o well_o and_o they_o know_v it_o for_o it_o draw_v they_o to_o itself_o and_o they_o abide_v therein_o to_o wash_v themselves_o two_o or_o three_o day_n that_o be_v two_o or_o three_o month_n and_o it_o make_v they_o young_a again_o &_o fair_a and_o because_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n have_v their_o original_a from_o this_o water_n their_o mother_n therefore_o it_o behove_v that_o they_o enter_v again_o into_o their_o mother_n womb_n that_o they_o may_v be_v bear_v again_o and_o be_v make_v more_o strong_a more_o noble_a and_o more_o valiant_a and_o therefore_o if_o these_o do_v not_o die_v and_o be_v not_o turn_v into_o water_n they_o remain_v alone_o and_o without_o fruit_n but_o if_o they_o die_v and_o be_v resolve_v in_o our_o water_n they_o bring_v fruit_n a_o hundred_o fold_n and_o from_o that_o very_a place_n where_o it_o seem_v they_o have_v lose_v what_o they_o be_v from_o thence_o shall_v they_o appear_v that_o which_o they_o be_v not_o before_o let_v therefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o live_a water_n be_v with_o great_a wit_n and_o subtlety_n fix_v with_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n because_o they_o be_v turn_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o water_n do_v die_v &_o seem_v like_a unto_o the_o dead_a yet_o afterward_o be_v inspire_v from_o thence_o they_o live_v increase_n and_o multiply_v like_o all_o other_o vegetable_a thing_n it_o be_v enough_o then_o to_o dispose_v the_o matter_n sufficient_o from_o without_o for_o from_o within_o itself_o do_v work_v sufficient_o to_o its_o own_o perfection_n for_o it_o have_v in_o itself_o a_o certain_a and_o inhaerent_a motion_n according_a to_o the_o true_a way_n better_a than_o any_o order_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v by_o man_n and_o therefore_o do_v thou_o only_o prepare_v and_o nature_n will_v perfect_v for_o if_o she_o be_v not_o hinder_v by_o the_o contrary_a she_o will_v not_o pass_v she_o own_o certain_a motion_n as_o well_o to_o conceive_v as_o to_o bring_v forth_o wherefore_o after_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o matter_n take_v heed_n only_o lest_o by_o too_o much_o fire_n thou_o make_v the_o bath_n too_o hot_a second_o take_v heed_n lest_o the_o spirit_n do_v exhale_v because_o it_o will_v hurt_v he_o that_o work_v that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o will_v destroy_v the_o work_n and_o cause_v many_o infirmity_n that_o be_v much_o sadness_n and_o anger_n from_o this_o that_o have_v
