among_o all_o metalline_a and_o mineral_n sulphur_n there_o be_v only_o two_o that_o belong_v to_o our_o work_n which_o two_o have_v their_o mercuries_n essential_o unite_v with_o they_o this_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o secret_n though_o we_o to_o seduce_v the_o unwary_a do_v seem_v to_o aver_v the_o contrary_a for_o do_v not_o think_v that_o because_o we_o do_v insinuate_v two_o way_n therefore_o we_o real_o mean_v as_o we_o say_v for_o very_o as_o witness_v ripley_n there_o be_v no_o true_a principle_n but_o one_o nor_o have_v we_o but_o one_o matter_n nor_o but_o one_o way_n of_o

to_o be_v homogeneal_a for_o it_o be_v only_a gold_n spiritual_a that_o we_o seek_v first_o white_a then_o red_a which_o gold_n be_v no_o other_o than_o that_o which_o the_o vulgar_a see_v but_o they_o know_v not_o the_o hide_a spirit_n that_o be_v in_o it_o this_o principle_n want_v nothing_o but_o composition_n and_o this_o composition_n must_v be_v make_v with_o our_o other_o crude_a white_a sulphur_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o mercury_n vulgar_a by_o frequent_a cohobation_n of_o it_o upon_o our_o hermaphroditical_a body_n so_o long_o till_o it_o become_v a_o fiery_a water_n
