to dispute I seek no ones testimony no ones refutation It suffices me as a possessor of the Art to need neither the living nor the dead Experience it self hath made me a Master and hath made a certain thing more certain than was needfull for a Master to have brought to light the truth of Nature Verily I should rejoyce if they had obtain'd their end by another matter for so I should believe the divine grace through my Prayers and Industry of seeking had opened to me a new and heretosore unknown Miracle of Nature For my Salt of Nature by artifice regenerated out of my matter hath perform'd the same things which the Arcanum of the Ancients is believed at any time to have performed Therefore he that will follow me must beware of Costs and great Labour If he find the tenth opening and the matter Nature it self without manual operation will help him and make him possessor of the wonderfull earth only let him follow Nature and consider its operations all things are little easie and of no Cost But how to go forward after the possession of the true Philosophick Mercury in the knowledge of which many are deceived thinking the Mercury of the Philosophers to be the Salt of Nature regenerated is not my work now to write because I write to Philosophers not lovers of Gold Therefore in the first place learn the wisedom of the Soul which if you find all will succeed prosperously and according to your wish and your hope will not be frustrated From her cometh every good thing and infinite riches are in her hand If thou findest the true Centre of Man other things of their own accord will slow in Whosoever thou art take in good part this my admonition and follow my experience unless thou wilt be a fool with the common multitude follow others if thou wilt and read their obscure style and veiled speeches Not one of them all hath used that fidelity towards their Neighbour as I have Never any in such perspicuous words hath made the derfull matter to be drawn out of Man so manifest They may compare their Writings with their Books whoever will may bend their words to his own meaning But yet whosoever will write better and clearer things I will be thankfull to him I have received the truth freely from God In communicating of it I fear not the curses of the Philosophers for I have learned nothing out of their Writings I commit this little Book more clear than the Sun to the Divine most wise Providence For he onely gives wisedom to the wise and understanding to the prudent Things occult and deeply hidden he reveals He searches the profound abyss of darkness by his Spirit in us from which light alone all is derived I give thee thanks O God my Father who hast bestowed on me wisedom and hast revealed that thing to me for which I prayed to thee Illuminate the eyes of all men who love thee with a pure heart that they may glorifie thy Name To the Tri-une God the great mercifull Father the Son and Spirit from whom alone floweth all truth light and wisedom be honour and praise for ever and ever Help O Lord thy Servant by Jesus Christ Amen Let things transitory give place to eternal Here we see in a glass and know through a cloud but then we shall see him as he is O how vain are things which affect the Senses compared with those which make the Soul happy that he may live for ever with his Saviour FINIS Books Printed for J.
