keep_v the_o body_n in_o our_o mercurial_a water_n till_o it_o ascend_v with_o the_o white_a soul_n and_o the_o earthy_a part_n descend_v to_o the_o bottom_n which_o be_v call_v the_o reside_a earth_n ii_o then_o you_o shall_v see_v the_o water_n to_o coagulate_v itself_o with_o its_o body_n and_o be_v assure_v that_o the_o art_n be_v true_a because_o the_o body_n coagulate_v the_o moisture_n into_o dryness_n like_v as_o the_o rennet_n of_o a_o lamb_n or_o calf_n turn_v milk_n into_o cheese_n iii_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n the_o spirit_n penetrate_v the_o body_n and_o be_v perfect_o commix_v with_o it_o in_o its_o small_a atom_n and_o the_o body_n draw_v to_o its_o self_n his_o moisture_n to_o wit_n its_o white_a soul_n like_v as_o the_o loadstone_n draw_v iron_n because_o of_o the_o nearness_n and_o likeness_n of_o its_o nature_n and_o then_o the_o one_o contain_v the_o other_o iu._n and_o this_o be_v our_o sublimation_n and_o coagulation_n which_o retain_v every_o

of_o nature_n and_o a_o wonderful_a connection_n of_o their_o cold_n with_o hot_a and_o the_o moist_a with_o the_o dry_a the_o hot_a also_o be_v mix_v with_o cold_a and_o the_o dry_a with_o the_o

a_o dissolution_n and_o sublimation_n the_o spirit_n be_v convert_v into_o a_o body_n and_o the_o body_n into_o a_o spirit_n vii_o so_o that_o the_o nature_n be_v mingle_v together_o and_o reduce_v

ting_a and_o white_a spirit_n viii_o wherefore_o as_o the_o last_o time_n i_o say_v decoct_v the_o body_n in_o our_o white_a water_n viz._n mercury_n till_o it_o be_v dissolve_v into_o blackness_n

soul_n ix_o and_o then_o the_o one_o will_v be_v mix_v with_o the_o other_o and_o so_o embrace_v one_o another_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v possible_a any_o more_o to_o separate_v they_o but_o the_o spirit_n with_o a_o real_a agreement_n will_v be_v unite_v with_o the_o body_n and_o make_v one_o permanent_a or_o fix_a substance_n x._o and_o this_o be_v the_o solution_n of_o the_o body_n
