A94291	Cheiragogia heliana. A manuduction to the philosopher's magical gold: out of which profound, and subtile discourse; two of the particullar tinctures, that of Saturn and Jupiter conflate; and of Jupiter single, are recommended as short and profitable works, by the restorer of it to the light. To which is added; Antron Mitras; Zoroaster's cave: or, An intellectuall echo, &c. Together with the famous Catholic epistle of John Pontanus upon the minerall fire. / By Geo. Thor. Astromagus.

to_o a_o spiritual_a body_n fix_v by_o mediation_n of_o our_o fire_n and_o this_o the_o philosopher_n never_o reveal_v and_o therefore_o few_o come_v at_o the_o art_n think_v there_o be_v some_o

say_v it_o be_v so_o fit_v to_o our_o matter_n that_o it_o may_v be_v transmute_v by_o it_o since_o that_o fire_n burn_v not_o the_o matter_n separate_v nothing_o from_o it_o part_v not_o the_o pure_a from_o the_o impure_a as_o all_o philosopher_n say_v but_o turn_v the_o whole_a subject_n to_o purity_n it_o do_v not_o sublime_a as_o geber_n make_v his_o sublimation_n &_o as_o arnaldus_n and_o

moderate_a ignition_n because_o with_o a_o remiss_a fire_n the_o whole_a work_n be_v perfect_v and_o all_o the_o right_a sublimation_n make_v whosoever_o shall_v read_v geber_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n if_o they_o shall_v live_v a_o hundred_o thousand_o year_n will_v not_o be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v it_o because_o that_o fire_n be_v find_v only_o by_o profound_a imagination_n and_o than_o it_o may_v be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o book_n and_o not_o before_o the_o error_n therefore_o of_o this_o art_n be_v not_o to_o find_v the_o fire_n which_o turn_v the_o whole_a matter_n into_o the_o true_a stone_n of_o the_o philosopher_n take_v it_o then_o for_o thy_o study_n for_o if_o i_o have_v find_v this_o fire_n at_o first_o i_o have_v not_o err_v two_o hundred_o time_n in_o my_o practice_n upon_o the_o matter_n wherefore_o i_o wonder_v not_o that_o so_o many_o and_o great_a wit_n have_v not_o come_v at_o the_o work_n they_o err_v have_v err_v and_o will_v err_v still_o because_o the_o philosopher_n have_v not_o set_v down_o the_o proper_a agent_n one_o only_o except_v artephius_n by_o name_n but_o he_o speak_v for_o himself_o and_o if_o i_o have_v not_o read_v artephius_n and_o hear_v he_o what_o he_o say_v i_o have_v never_o attain_v the_o perfect_a work_n but_o this_o be_v the_o practice_n take_v it_o bruise_v it_o and_o bring_v it_o down_o diligent_o by_o natural_a contrition_n and_o put_v it_o to_o the_o fire_n and_o know_v the_o proportion_n of_o your_o fire_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v to_o be_v no_o strong_a than_o only_a to_o excite_v the_o matter_n and_o in_o a_o short_a time_n even_o that_o fire_n without_o any_o apposition_n of_o hand_n will_v certain_o complete_a the_o whole_a work_n for_o it_o will_v putrefy_v corrupt_a generate_v and_o perfect_a and_o make_v to_o appear_v in_o their_o time_n the_o three_o principal_a colour_n black_a white_a and_o red._n and_o by_o mediation_n of_o our_o fire_n the_o med'cin_n will_v be_v multiply_v if_o it_o be_v join_v with_o crude_a matter_n not_o only_o in_o quantity_n but_o also_o in_o virtue_n therefore_o with_o all_o thy_o power_n look_v after_o thy_o fire_n and_o thou_o may_v prosper_v in_o thy_o work_n because_o it_o do_v the_o whole_a work_n and_o be_v the_o key_n of_o the_o philosopher_n which_o they_o never_o discover_v but_o thou_o shall_v come_v to_o know_v it_o by_o a_o right_n profound_a think_v upon_o the_o property_n of_o the_o fire_n set_v down_o before_o and_o no_o otherways_o this_o i_o write_v out_o of_o piety_n and_o that_o i_o may_v satisfy_v thou_o final_o the_o fire_n be_v not_o transmute_v with_o the_o matter_n because_o it_o be_v not_o of_o the_o matter_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o thus_o much_o i_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o say_v and_o
