or_o better_a than_o it_o be_v likewise_o take_v your_o salt_n ammoniac_a out_o of_o the_o head_n it_o be_v good_a again_o and_o if_o you_o can_v have_v no_o salt_n ammoniac_a then_o take_v three_o

mercury_n out_o of_o luna_n and_o jupiter_n wherewith_o you_o may_v do_v wonder_n as_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o miner_n book_n where_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o quintessence_n of_o metal_n now_o my_o child_n must_v know_v that_o this_o mercury_n or_o quintessence_n of_o saturn_n be_v as_o good_a in_o all_o work_n as_o the_o mercury_n of_o sol_n they_o be_v both_o alike_o good_a and_o herein_o all_o philosopher_n agree_v my_o child_n take_v this_o mercury_n of_o saturn_n so_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o receiver_n put_v it_o into_o a_o glass_n box._fw-la i_o have_v now_o teach_v you_o to_o make_v two_o sort_n of_o the_o water_n of_o paradise_n and_o know_v my_o child_n that_o the_o first_o way_n be_v the_o best_a though_o it_o be_v make_v with_o some_o danger_n long_a time_n and_o more_o charge_n for_o the_o vinegar_n be_v all_o good_a yet_o the_o red_a oil_n be_v the_o best_a its_o time_n be_v alike_o unto_o the_o end_n and_o though_o it_o be_v more_o tedious_a before_o you_o obtain_v the_o red_a oil_n yet_o it_o fix_v itself_o in_o a_o short_a time_n if_o it_o come_v to_o the_o matter_n of_o fix_a stone_n into_o a_o simple_a essence_n in_o great_a redness_n but_o when_o the_o mercury_n come_v to_o the_o fix_a stone_n it_o hold_v on_o a_o long_a time_n in_o ascend_v and_o descend_v before_o it_o die_v and_o when_o it_o be_v quite_o dead_a it_o make_v the_o red_a fix_a stone_n again_o into_o a_o fix_a colour_n so_o cover_v the_o red_a stone_n with_o its_o coldness_n that_o the_o red_a stone_n become_v white_a again_o then_o must_v you_o boil_v it_o again_o gentle_o with_o a_o small_a fire_n till_o it_o begin_v to_o be_v yellow_a prosecute_a the_o fire_n from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o as_o the_o colour_n be_v high_a and_o strong_a and_o that_o so_o long_o till_o it_o attain_v to_o a_o perfect_a redness_n which_o require_v a_o long_a time_n before_o it_o be_v do_v which_o be_v not_o requisite_a in_o the_o red_a oil_n for_o the_o red_a oil_n die_v or_o coagulate_v forthwith_o the_o stone_n the_o one_o fix_v itself_o with_o the_o other_o into_o a_o simple_a essence_n in_o a_o short_a time_n therefore_o i_o tell_v thou_o my_o child_n that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o oil_n be_v alike_o long_o in_o the_o end_n though_o it_o appear_v to_o be_v of_o a_o short_a time_n with_o the_o mercury_n but_o it_o be_v equal_o long_a at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o work_n therefore_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o art_n of_o both_o work_n that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o understand_v the_o art_n to_o make_v the_o oil_n from_o the_o innermost_a nature_n of_o the_o stone_n which_o be_v find_v afterward_o the_o oil_n be_v unknown_a to_o the_o ancient_n for_o my_o grandfather_n with_o his_o companion_n find_v it_o with_o great_a labour_n and_o length_n of_o time_n so_o there_o be_v two_o way_n to_o dissolve_v the_o stone_n and_o to_o pour_v upon_o it_o the_o clear_a water_n of_o paradise_n our_o ancestor_n call_v the_o oil_n their_o sharp_a vinegar_n therefore_o my_o child_n keep_v the_o name_n private_a and_o i_o will_v teach_v you_o first_o of_o all_o how_o you_o shall_v join_v the_o mercury_n to_o your_o stone_n which_o you_o extract_v out_o of_o saturn_n to_o dissolve_v it_o afterward_o i_o will_v teach_v you_o to_o bring_v over_o the_o helm_n that_o red_a oil_n which_o you_o extract_v out_o of_o your_o prepare_a saturn_n into_o a_o fix_a stone_n to_o dissolve_v your_o stone_n my_o child_n weight_n your_o fix_a stone_n take_v half_a as_o much_o of_o your_o mercury_n pour_v it_o upon_o the_o stone_n in_o the_o glass_n cover_v the_o glass_n again_o with_o a_o polish_a glass_n which_o may_v just_o fit_v it_o set_v it_o in_o a_o cuple_n with_o sift_v ash_n make_v a_o small_a fire_n like_o the_o sun_n heat_n at_o midsummer_n and_o give_v no_o more_o fire_n to_o it_o until_o the_o water_n of_o paradise_n or_o mercury_n become_v all_o a_o dead_a powder_n and_o know_v my_o child_n that_o the_o red_a or_o fix_v stone_n which_o before_o be_v darken_v when_o it_o have_v drink_v up_o the_o water_n of_o paradise_n or_o mercury_n or_o how_o you_o will_v call_v it_o that_o it_o be_v a_o powder_n between_o black_a and_o gray_a then_o augment_v the_o fire_n from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o till_o the_o matter_n be_v perfect_a white_a and_o when_o it_o be_v white_a strengthen_v the_o fire_n yet_o more_o from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o till_o it_o be_v of_o a_o dark_a yellow_a colour_n then_o make_v it_o yet_o strong_a till_o it_o be_v of_o a_o perfect_a red_a then_o rejoice_v for_o your_o stone_n be_v perfect_a and_o fluxible_a as_o wax_n praise_v god_n who_o give_v unto_o we_o part_n of_o his_o miracle_n and_o do_v good_a to_o the_o poor_a you_o may_v see_v it_o with_o your_o fleshly_a eye_n and_o use_v god_n goodness_n miraculous_o in_o this_o corrupt_a life_n for_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o good_a charity_n that_o if_o any_o one_o principal_o attain_v to_o this_o stone_n that_o it_o be_v give_v afford_v and_o lend_v he_o from_o god_n whosoever_o have_v this_o stone_n may_v live_v in_o a_o healthful_a state_n to_o the_o last_o term_n of_o his_o life_n appoint_v he_o by_o god_n and_o may_v have_v all_o whatsoever_o he_o desire_v on_o earth_n he_o shall_v be_v love_v and_o esteem_v of_o all_o people_n for_o he_o can_v cure_v they_o all_o internal_o and_o external_o of_o all_o disease_n which_o may_v befall_v they_o but_o if_o the_o stone_n do_v not_o so_o it_o be_v false_a and_o deserve_v not_o the_o name_n of_o the_o vegetable_a stone_n or_o philosopher_n stone_n therefore_o my_o child_n if_o god_n give_v you_o this_o stone_n look_v diligent_o to_o it_o that_o you_o keep_v yourself_o from_o offend_v god_n that_o you_o make_v not_o this_o stone_n on_o earth_n to_o be_v your_o heaven_n govern_v and_o rule_v yourself_o to_o god_n glory_n and_o to_o the_o comfort_n of_o poor_a people_n that_o god_n praise_n may_v be_v augment_v to_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o to_o the_o relief_n of_o poor_a exile_a christian_n i_o tell_v you_o my_o child_n if_o you_o use_v it_o otherwise_o god_n will_v leave_v you_o here_o a_o little_a while_n to_o your_o own_o will_n but_o afterward_o he_o will_v speedy_o send_v a_o punishment_n either_o you_o shall_v be_v strike_v dead_a or_o die_v by_o a_o fall_n or_o die_v some_o other_o sudden_a death_n and_o go_v
