have_v a_o condition_n and_o power_n as_o all_o fire_n that_o lie_v hide_v in_o secret_a thing_n have_v of_o vivification_n no_o otherwise_o then_o the_o sun_n be_v appoint_v of_o god_n which_o heat_v all_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n both_o secret_a apparent_a &_o manifest_a as_o the_o sphere_n of_o mars_n saturn_n venus_n jupiter_n mercury_n and_o luna_n which_o can_v give_v no_o other_o

according_a to_o their_o property_n but_o the_o sun_n himself_o receive_v his_o light_n from_o no_o other_o but_o from_o god_n himself_o who_o rule_v he_o by_o himself_o so_o that_o he_o burn_v and_o

in_o the_o great_a world_n for_o even_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v bring_v forth_o in_o the_o world_n without_o the_o sun_n so_o likewise_o in_o this_o art_n nothing_o can_v be_v produce_v without_o this_o simple_a fire_n no_o operation_n can_v be_v make_v without_o it_o it_o be_v the_o great_a secret_n of_o this_o art_n comprehend_v all_o thing_n which_o be_v comprehend_v therein_o neither_o

wherefore_o we_o have_v in_o the_o first_o place_n undertake_v to_o declare_v it_o chap._n ii_o of_o the_o multiplicity_n of_o fire_n from_o which_o variety_n of_o metal_n do_v arise_v we_o have_v first_o write_v of_o simple_a fire_n which_o live_v and_o subsi_v of_o itself_o now_o we_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o a_o manifold_a spirit_n or_o fire_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o variety_n and_o

be_v none_o which_o have_v another_o like_o itself_o the_o sun_n produce_v his_o gold_n the_o moon_n produce_v another_o metal_n far_o different_a to_o wit_n silver_n mars_n another_o that_o be_v to_o

be_v all_o unlike_a and_o several_a one_o from_o another_o the_o same_o appear_v to_o be_v as_o well_o among_o man_n as_o all_o other_o creature_n the_o cause_n whereof_o be_v the_o multiplicity_n of_o fire_n as_o by_o some_o heat_n be_v produce_v a_o mean_a generation_n by_o the_o corruption_n thereof_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o sea_n another_o ash_n another_o sand_n another_o flame_n of_o
