may by no meanes be ioyned to another body And in another place The soule doth quickly enter into his own body which if thou goest about to ioyne with another body thou shalt loose thy labour for the neerenesse it selfe is more cleare And because corporeall things in this regimēt are made incorporeall contrariwise things incorporeal corporeall and in the shutting vp of the worke the whole body is made a spirituall fixt thing and because also that spirituall Elixir euidently whether white or red is so greatly prepared and decocted beyonde his nature it is no marnaile that it cannot bee mixed with a body on which it is proiected beeing onely melted It is also a hard matter to proiect it on a thousand thousand and more and incontinently to penetrate and transmute them I will therefore nowe deliuer vnto you a great and hidden secret One part is to bee mixed with a thousand of the next body let all this be surely put into a fit vessell and sette it in a surnace of fixation first with a lent fire and afterwardes encreasing the fire for three dayes till they be inseperably ioyned together and this is a worke of three dayes then againe and finally euery part heereof by it selfe must be proiected vpon another thousand parts of any neere body and this is a worke of one day or one houre or a moment for which our wonderfull God is eternally to be praised Here endeth the Mirror of Alchimy composed by the most learned Philosopher Roger Bacon The Smaragdine Table of Hermes Trismegistus of Alchimy THe wordes of the secrets of Hermes which were written in a Smaragdine Table and found betweene his hands in an obscure vaute wherin his body lay buried It is true without leasing certain and most true That which is beneath is like that which is aboue that which is aboue is like that which is beneath to worke the miracles of one thing And as all things haue proceeded from one by the meditatiō of one so all things haue sprung from this onething by adaptation His father is the sun his mother is the moone the wind bore it in hir belly The earth is his nurse The father ofallthe telesme of this world is here His force and power is perfect if it be turned into earth Thou shalt seperate the earth from the fire the thinne from the thicke and that gently with great discretion It ascendeth from the Earth into Heauen and and againe it descendeth into the earth and receiueth the power of the superiours and inferiours so shalt thou haue the glorie of the whole worlde All obscuritie therefore shall flie away from thee This is the mightie power of all power for it shal ouercome euery subtile thing and pearce through euery solide thing So was the worlde created Here shall be maruailous adatpations whereof this is the meane Therefore am I called Hermes Trismegistus or the thrice great Interpreter hauing three parts of the Philosophy of the whole world That which I haue spoken of the operation of the Sunne is finished Here endeth the Table of Hermes A briefe Commentarie of Hortulanus the Philosopher vpon the Smaragdine Table of Hermes of Alchimy The praier of Hortulanus LAude honour power and glorie be giuen to thee O Almightie Lorde God with thy beloued sonne our Lord Iesus Christ and the holy Ghost the comforter O holy Trinitie that art the onely one God perfect man I giue thee thankes that hauing the knowledge of the transitorie things of this worlde least I should bee prouoked with the pleasures thereof of thy abundant mercie thou hast taken mee from it But for somuch as I haue knowne manie deceiued in this art that haue not gone the right way let it please thee O Lord my God that by the knowledge which thou hast giuen mee I may bring my deare friends frō error that when they shal perceiue the truth they may praise thy holy and glorious name which is blessed for euer Amen The Preface I Hortulanus so called for the Gardens bordering vpon the sea coast wrapped in a Iacobin skinne vnworthy to be called a Disciple of Philosophie moued with the loue of my welbeloued doo intend to make a true declaration of the words of Hermes the Father of Philosophers whose words though that they be dark and obscure yet haue I truely expounded the whole operation and practise of the worke for the obscuritie of the Philosophers in their speeches dooth nothing preuaile where the doctrine of the holy spirit worketh CHAP. I. That the Art of Alchimy is true and certaine THe Philosopher saith It is true to wit that the Arte of Alchimie is giuen vnto vs. VVithout leasing This hee saith in detestation of them that affirme this Art to bee lying that is false It is certaine that is prooued For whatsoeuer is prooued is most certaine And most true For most true golde is ingendred by Art and he saith most true in the superlatiue degree because the golde ingendred by this Art excelleth all naturall gold in all proprieties both medicinall and others CHAP. II. That the Stone must be diuided into two parts COnsequentlie he toucheth the operation of the stone saying That which is beneath is as that which is aboue And this he sayth because the stone is diuided into two principall parts by Art Into the superiour part that ascendeth vp and into the inferiour part which remaineth beneath fixe and cleare and yet these two parts agree in vertue and therefore hee sayeth That which is aboue is like that which is beneath And this diuision is necessarie To perpetrate the myracles of one thing to wit of the Stone because the inferiour part is the Earth which is called the Nurse and Ferment and the superiour part is the Soule which quickeneth the whole Stone and raiseth it vp Wherefore separation made and coniunction celebrated manie myracles are effected in the secret worke of nature CHAP. III. That the Stone hath in it the foure Elements ANd as all things haue proceeded from one by the meditation of one Heere giueth hee an example saying as all things came from one to wit a confused Globe or masse by meditation that is the cogitation and creation of one that is the omnipotent God So all things haue sprung that is come out from this one thing that is one confused lumpe by A daptation that is by the sole commaūdement of God and miracle So our Stone is borne and come out of one confused masse containing in it the foure Elements which is created of God and by his sole miracle our stone is borne CHAP. IIII. That the Stone hath Father and Mother to wit the Sunue and Moone ANd as wee see that one liuing creature begetteth more liuing creatures like vnto it selfe so artificially golde engendereth golde by vertue of multiplication of the foresaid stone It followeth therefore the Sunne is his father that is Philosophers Gold And as in euerie naturall generation there must be a
