DEARBRETHERN

The Need and anxiety has mounted high, and the burden so great,
that they nearly almost all crushed us into the dark grave, where
all consolation ends, beeause we must complain day and night,

6.
that the Lord forsakes
us, and in His righteous anger banishes
us from His Sanctuary, which wastr, and the heathen were call-ed
in for abuse, and we be destroyed here and there with nockery
and scorn, under pure pressure lie under servants of the heathen
and unbelievers, and must endure from such all troublesr so con-
trived. As there is nobody, who would be zelious for the law
and the Sanctuary.
Therefore, dear brethren, have I thought on you a little again
to raise, and to give again a consolation in your oppression; even
to give a pattern, and as yet again help Vour and raise up, artd
when the Hero comes set at defiance your enemies, artd lhe..Sopp ^ L.

who will lead you out through his predecessor and messenger the
E l i a s , th e n w i l l a l l yo u r enenies lie to the footstool of you r
feet.
Then shout thou forsaken one, that those who oppressed thee'
those will be d,estroyed with Fire, those however who did you
good, wj.ll submj.t themselves to you at the time.
Guard yourself, however, that you d.o not engage with such, for
they nust bear the load of the Lord, Make yourself however liable
for servants and maids3 separate them among Vour in order that
their seed cease and die out. Yes they will be your wood and
water carriers accord.ing to the words of the Lord.
Therefore have patience and suffer all oppressions. Avoid
however also and shun all vice. Hol-d to the one God of Abraham,
fsaac and Jacob, and think how often that the Lord has freed you
from your enemies, that, where you hold to hlm that finally your
Heartbreak carne to him, that he freed, you fron the disgrace of the
slarrderer, because they say in Psaln )J v. 2. Where is their God?
Who does not recognise you. He will not otherwise be able thart on
his Covenant to remember, according to his promise, and a deliver-
ance fron Salem send; the Messiah will d.estroy and d.rive away'
all the kings of the heathens before us, and conquer. Then will

7.
we with him reign, when he will then gather us from al_l the 4

that you now i-n such oppression may have a consolationr so take
y e t t h e w o rd s o f th e g re at Pr ophet Jer em iah, to you in Cap. 5z
v. l seg. with groans in your hearts, when the same in his misery
furnishes, l,ord think on us and our disgrace ! Behold and look
h o w i t g o e s w i th u s! Our inher itance is Iost, and to the st r anger s
b e c o m e s a p o rti o n ! Ou r houses have they r obbed us of, our m other s
have become widows, and we forsaken orphans, who without father,
and when we drink water and would have woodr w€ must pay.for it.
W e a r e d e sp i se d , a n d ti red fr om car e, yet is of the dr iving and
anxiety no end. Ah! Our si.nsr which we commencedwith our fathers
p r e s s u s. Ou r fa th e rs ar e vanished, and we m ust yet bear th ei r
b u r d e n . A h ! T h e h e a th en pr ess us about the neckr w€ ar e ob l i ged
to serve Assyria and have no salt to our bread. Ah! The hero
bends not, when he in his anger grows furiousr so spares he not

h e w i l l - se e th a t se rva n ts r uLe over us, he will r escue us from
t h e i r ha n d s, th a t w e mu st not eat our br ead with tear sr ds it
were a theft. Ah! That the sword shal1 not eat up our enemies,
for we are few, and must die of starvation, and become as the
dead.
Our virgins they make servants and deflour such before our eyes,
our old men and princes are wretchedly by them murdered. Our
young men are put to d.eath under the burden. The boys have sunk
u n d e r th e b u rd e n o f w o o d. Also the place is no mor e existing ,
where our ancients sat, our harps have disappeared. Our head
stands uncovered. The crown has been stolen from us. Our eyes
b e c o m e d i m, b e ca u se o u r hear t is full of car e. Ah pity us' that
our enemies are so great. The foxes run over the mountain of

8.
Zion, which by the heathen there must lie waste. Ah! Lord!
Who eternall-y remainest and whose Lordship is without end, thou
will even now not quite forget us. For we have become a derision
to our enemies in all 4 ends of the world. Dost thou not hear
our cry? Wilt thou not eternally forsake us? Lord bring us again
to thee and to our brethren, in our home, in order that our days
be renewed with the age. Ahl Thou art too angry with us! Re-
member us yet, and give us compassion. We must bear d.isgrace
which our fathers did wrong and deserved, and made themselves
guilty, wittingly and unwittingly, from one tribe to another, thy
a^nger is even so teruible that it will not cease.
Ah! Think yet on us agai-n, and. r,rnite us with our brethren,
who through thy hand are led out and rescued from Assyria. Now
Lord remember, that we are thy property. Thou wilt hear us in
order that from the enemies, to whom we are delivered, the haughti-
ness will be taken, who calumniate Thy Name and say! Your God has
forsaken Vour we will badly trouble and ptague you and are regarded
as dogs among them. Fulfill the prediction of the Prophet Zephan-
i a h C . 3 . V . 1 2 se g . w h ich he calls in thy nElme. I will let thee
remain a poor and downtrodden people because thy lord thee will
caLI. T h e n th e w i cke d will cease with the r er m ant in Isr ael.
Your mouth wil-l no more be failse and treacherous, without fear
w i l l t he e fi n d R e st a n d delight, then will Isr eal r ejoice and the
daughter of Zion rejoice, that their Saviour and Rescuer has come,
who releases them from their enemies. Then the chastiser will
cease. The Messiah as thy King wi]l than be with thee. Fear
thee not Zion and let the hands not be tired, till you are again
gathered in Jerusalem, for God thy lord is with thee as a strong
S a v i o u r, h e w i l l a g a i n be fr iendly to thee and r ejoice over thee,
because thy misdeeds he has forgiven and thy sins sealed up.
Then will the lord colleet all the restr a's a elucking hen her
chickens and one will hear the sound. of the sack, but in all ends
o f t h e Wo rl d . Then will thy tor m entor s desist fr om their Iaw s ,

The Prophets Malachi and Elias will r send to you at that time,
and will gather Vour ere the great day of the T,ord comes for judge-
ment over all heathens. Then will the children seek the heart
of the father, and r will turn the heart of the fathers again to
them, before the time comes, that the earth with the excommunicat-
ion is smitten. Time is soon at a.rr end. Dear Brethren suffer it,
for it wiLr not be rong, the deliverance is near. rn order that
r make the beginning, therefore a consolation to you have r made
p o s s i b l e r so h a ve I h e re wr itten down the secr ets of our Father s
in order that the tribute you gave to the Romish Emperior, and you
also under the bond of serwitude can help the poor prisoners be
r e l e a s e d fo r th e p ra i se of the Holy God. Ther efor e will I t eac h
thee the preparation of the Metals in Asophol and Diana, thereby
with certain words and figures, of such a pattern, in ord.er that
with your hands you may lay hold of it, and. how you sha1l prepare
t h e F r RE o f th e L o rd ., which was so Iost, when the time comes to
trouble your enemies therewith, that for your protection have it
at hand, further will r show you the place where our fathers
w a l I e d u p a n d b u ri e d th e secr ets as Jer usalem was laid to wa s te
by the Emperior Titus vespasianus, in order that you may telr your
c h i l d r e n, a n d a l so ca n show, for no heathen will find the plac e,
but only the brethren.
The marks stand to this hour, that even a blind man among you
wilL be able to find it, but only when the great Prophet Elias
will be present. For if you have likewise all marks you will get
i t n o t ti l I th i s ti me co mes. some, it is tr ue have alr eady gone
out of their wits, and have sought and for.rnd the place, but at

fron our inheritanee. But the great Jehovah will not eternally

again. In order that you now when the time comes to be informed
w h e r e o u r P ri e sts a n d th e pr incipal secr ets of the tim e have c on-
cealed away, as Titus Vespanianus the Tyrant, who devastated and
burned the holy City and the Sanctuary, so mark. There will such
be found at the entrance into the Holy of Holies towards the East,
there is a vault 500 spans deep through a narrow entrance, and is

T h i s i s ye t ti l l th i s notice concealed, and will at the tim e
when Elias with the Messiah comes, be for.rnd. Therefore dear
brethren sigh and groan with desire after such; for at that ti.me
your enemies everlnrhere will be extirpated.
T h e r e h a ve b e e n so me br ethr en who r eceived news of this se c r et
from their fathers. These have ventured, and have there gone in

because such were not from the race of Judah and also the marks
they did not understand, for they began without instruction of the
same to work, they found it not. Had. they understood the marks'
so would they have forrnd the eoncealed, if the God of Abraham and
Isaac had not held his hand over it. In order that you now of
the Figure and exact direction learn that which you in the seeking

Dear brethren you shall also lmow, that when you dissolve sol

The other manipulation however proceeds thus far.

T h e r e i s ye t a w a y to obtain this secr et, namely thus: Tak e

place the sarne with the SALT in a B. M. or in Horse-dung, the

again coagulate it again, and this repeat, till that only the
SAIT is fixed and in the FIRE, flows like tfax without diminution.
When you now have it so far, keep it well preserved.
Take OPHIRfS SOL and dissolve it in a I|ATERGAZA, and when it

some of the fresh Alatron therein, and this sublimate up again,
and repeat for the third time, and so you get a GOI,DSUBLIMATE,
w h i c h yo u sh a l l a l so re quir e, let 32 shekels heavy of the pur e

Therefore lmow, when you can fasten with a Go1den Nail, the

Dear brethrenr orr€ might we1] wonder, how our dear Ancients
hit on the thought to prepare a MEDICINE, which has al-one happened
through the inspiration of the great JEHOVAH,that the Metal_s
could be ripened and transmuted higher, and how therewith they
went to work, that they found the PRIMUMMATERIAM.
Dear brethrenr orl€ says: TITUI,US INVENTIoNIS may be often PoTIoR
PARS INVENTIONIS.
As they saw that SOL and LUNAwere generated by so long boiling
i n t h e E A R T Ho f N a tu re , so must we fr eely wonder , how yet th e
dear Ancients fell on the thought, that through Art and the help
o f N a t u re , th e y co u l d re new the way, and br ing to pass by th e
EARTH, S0I, and LUNA in such a short time.
Alone the dear Ancients have learned through diligent specul-
a t i o n o f N a tu re , w h a t w as their or igin befor e the com m encem ent,
and out of WIIATthe LIFE of all creatures took its origin, and
how the Generation and commencementof the Metals may have their
Origin. T h i s th e d e a r Anci.ents have ver y closely obser ved, ex an-
ined and found, that all metals took their origin ex MERCURY or
ftfYTHONE;thence are they driven, and have taken the PHYTON,and
h a v e a l so th e re w i th g o n e to wor k.
They have however experienced harm with such because it has
become too metallict so have they sought an other MATERIAM,in
which the SPIRIT MURCURY is not yet made metallicr and found such
l-ikewise among the Minerals, and afterwards called this with divers
nanesr 4s Albaon in ARABIC, in latin, Plumbum Nigrum, Abackhozodi,
a bl-ack heavy stuffs they have also called it MAGNESIUM, BISMUTH.
O u r A n ci e n ts h a ve ca l l ed the stuff PUCH, it is however not the
c o n m o n S T IB IU M, b u t a b l ack gr ey r ock, often with white and other
beautifu] colours adorned, heavy in weight, as I already taught

the Egyptians left it behind to their children, which are not
to be divined or unrj.ddledr but clearly and brotherly.
Formerly I have pointed out and shown to you the wet w?V, and
how you can find and prepare in such a way the Mysterium, and such
a way is without danger.
T h i s d ry w a y, th a t I w ill descr ibe to you and teach you, is
somewhat dangerous, yet lf you follow my teachi.g, then will it
not fall heavy on you, for as I have described to you in all my
Figures throughout, two ways, so to the intelligent it is not
difficult to u n d e rsta n d , and have also wished to show in this
Figure; for here you see flowing from a desert a LUNARwhite
WATER,which is from the old progenitor of all things, prepared
in two ways 3

Should the head become ful1 of flowers, you must remove this

In such a ma-ru.reryou can make as many flowers as you wish, and
when you have a pretty tolerable portion, gather them together
and preserve them.
N . B. I sa y a g a i -n , B uud your self, that you do not destr o y

Take again a fresh MATERIAM,rub therein all your ascended
MATERIAIVI, place this in the vessel, and place the head again
t h e r e o n, g i ve th e F IR E car efully, then will mor e flower s asc end,
when the head is full, take it off . These fl-owers can be pre-
p a r e d a l so i n th i s a n n e xed vessel, that one puts sever al hea ds ,
one over the other, for otherulise, when the head. is fullr Vou
must take it off, and put another thereon, which causes much
annoyance in the work, and many flowers are lost.

a l l t h e fl o w e rs to g e th e r into the distilled Liquor , put fr esh

tinue until you have released the PIIYTHONE from 12 tit of the
M a t e r ia rn : i .e . w h e n yo u have the flower s fr om 12 tit of the
MATERIAMT1rou have enough. Then from our AIBAON ascends the rnost,
the remaining MATffiIAM preserve weI1. Take all the flowers together,
and weigh then, when you have I tit in weight, proceed thus.
Take LUNA and shut it up in a strong WATERprepared from Kalti
potash and SALT EARTH. When it is thus shut up, then pour lVater
thereto, in which commonSAI,T is dissolved, then will the LUNA
be precipitated, which sweeten well with WATERand make dry; take

Then will the flowers ascend much prettier and clearer than
i n t h e co mme n ce me n t,a n d a SPIRIT lisches W ATERwill go ove r .
Take your sublimed flowers, rub them again among the remainder,
and sublime it /+ times more, then it becomes like a diamond, and
i s n o t so p o i so n o u s. The r em ainder can be m elted and pur ified
and thus recover the LUNA that is lefti or you can sublime the
Columba Dianae 2 times more, then will they get a great brilliance;
this take up for it is now already MEDICINAL, and no more poisonous.

0f Soloman it is said in Kings 3, Chap. l-0, that he made as much
S0l & I,UNA as there are stones. It stands that it is true , that he
had it brought in ships from OPHIR, where however did David get it
hither? And why has Roboams son been obliged after his death to
Live in such poverty? Tlas he not able to send ships to OPHIR, in

 Certainly this King, because he wanted tfisdom, that comes from

Ophiris SOL is something quite different. Therefore have also
many of our fathers, who were in need and care, found. such noble
treasures that they would help themselves €rlew. For when they
were with God, so was that also with them, as his chosen people.
That he has however denied us his blessing, which is caused by
us and our fathers sins, whlch he avenges unto the 1000th. gen-
eration. Therefore call and ery that he may hear us, and convert
by repentance. That we fo1low his voice, and d,epart from the un-
righteous ways. Did we walk in his preceptsr then would we also
receive prosperty and be glad in God.

Dear brethren, Ah! that you might understand me, what I at pre-
s e n t d r a w b e fo re yo u ! F or I speak even with Vour as with chi l dr en,
not in dark words. Get learning and then set out to do the work,
that your poor brethren might be releaved from anxiety. Think
yet how their minds are troubled under their oppression, that they
c a n n o t o n ce ra i se th e i r heads on high for distr ess; ther efor e m y
heart breaks, to show you a w&y, to help you and them. Can you
n o t w o rk, th e n p ra y to the Lor d, that he will- give you wisdom :
D a n i e l C h . 5 , V . 2 l & 2 2 . It is for sooth easy and insignificant,
i f y o u o n l y l o o se n yo u rself fr om all expensive things in the w or l d.
Therefore dear Brethren, have I here again drawn you a figure,
where you may have two ways before your eyes.
F i r s t yo u se e , h o w th e OLd AIBAONehops off with his swor d the
intractable Winged feet of the PIIYTHONI,and that the PIIYTONhas
i n h i s h a n d s a sta ff, th e m eaning of this is, that when such has
h a p p e n e d , h e th e n h a s a two- fold Natur e, which the two ser pents
p o i n t o u t.
This 01d P:cocreator is drawn out once from the PROMORDIALIS
CHAOS,that is signified from the FIRE appearing Dragon. But
however the 01d One floats in the Ai-r, denotes the SPIRITUS UNMR-
SAIEM or PHYTON,the beginning of all things, as I, dear brethren,
have taught you in the beginning. The 01d One however has a Scythe
o r r e a p i n g h o o k, a n d w i l l cut off the feet of the PHYTON,whi c h
is an indication that such also can be prepared from another MATERIA,
than out of the ALBAON, which is a black grey and heavy I\tIATERIA,
and one can get in abundance. And that the 01d One floats in the
Air has the meanirg, that from this 01d Oner a's I taught you before
you shall prepare the COl,UntsADfAt{AE, and sueh blend with the
PHYTHONE,and once more cause it to rise, and then you get a two-
fold PHYTON,or the right GIUTEN, the fiery Dragon in the wet way.

50.
 But there is prepared from the GREENLION a crawli-ng Dragon,
and you have it before your eyes, and can compare with the 01d
One the wet way, and the Dragons the dry way.
In the work you go orlr beyond, in the dry way in the preparatory
work, there is another Modus than in the Slet. Dear brethren, that
I m a y s h o w V o u r h o w e ve r, that the Ancients possessed mor e sec r ets ,
f o r t h e y a re n o t a l l u n i ted in their ideas.
Those who had not the understanding, that they could fabricate
the LAPIS AIBAOHESTor the PHYTONof the Ancients, Vet have they
lcrown the MATERIAM,and have been in the position to go to work
on such.
They have seen, that the AIATRONcould be extracted from the
EXCREMENTS of animals, so did they come on the thought that in
M a n , t h e mo st e mi n e n t p roduction; in and out of which such ex c r e-
m e n t w as fre q u e n tl y to b e got. They have ther efor e collected fr om
h e a l t h y ma l e s th e i r U ri n e, and 1et such stand in casks to putr efy .
Then have they prepared through many distillations a vol-atile
SPIRIT PHYTONIS,as well in a dry form as also a Liquor in an
horrible fiery form and Property therefrom.
This they have well preserved, and well kept it in an ALINGEI,,
then they have here conveyed and have prepared from the Noble
Wine their Heaven and SPIRITUS PHYTONIS.
These two fiery Dragons they have poured together, artd again
d r i v e n o ve r, ti l l th e mo st of which ascended into a white GL U T EN ;
which they have put into an AIINGEI, and raised, then they have
taken of the KAIII and of the SALT EARTHequal parts, and out of
both have driven with strong FIRE, out of a crooked vessel a strong
WATER,or have from these two stuffs taken onl-y one such mixed
with an EARTH, and with strong FIRE prepared one WATERtherefrom.
This they have driven over several times, that no moisture was
there. Then have they put the above volatile salty T,iquor 1 part
i n t o a p o tr B S h e re d e p i cted. ( Figur e 1B) .

from the VITRIOL and NITRET and also by degrees poured l part thereto,
then have these two fiery Dragons bit each other powerfully, and
fought, tiIl they at last remained lying dead. Then they have
put a vessel with a spoon to the beak, and have driven a PIfYTONIS
spirit thereover. When the half aLso had flown over, they then
have taken off the Vessel, the remai.nder they have thrown away,
t h e S P I R IT w h i ch fl e w u p , they r eetified once, and have gotten
a mysterious Liquor, with which they have gone to work. Others
have taken the above fiery salty l,iquor, of whieh I part, and
added of WATERGAZAthe half, and then driven it over, and have
a l s o s u cce ssfu l l y p ro ce e d ed, and have then also got the SPIRIT
PHYTONIST&s a key to the Art, then have they taken our IvIATTER,
i t i s B IS MU T Ho r C OB A L T ,and beat it sm aLl, put it into a ves s el ;
0 f t h i s se cre t L i q u o r p o u red ther eon, to the height of 2 diagonal
hands over the matter, and place this in a mild heat, continued
til1 the Liquor is coloured grass green, the tinged Liquor is poured
off, and fresh liquor is poured onr so have they got a g?.ass green
Liquor and again a green Solution; these tinged Liquors they have
p u t t o g e th e r i n to a ve sse l, and dr iven it over to the half' th e
remainder have they put in a cool place, so have the stones cry-
stallized, a s S ma ra g d i -n e.
These they have taken out, the l,iquor again drawn off to the
half, Pl a ce d th e ve sse l in a cool place, then ar e yet m or e c r y s tal s
c r y s t a l l i ze d .

 T h e n h a ve th e y ma d e th i s Secr et SALT dr y, and placed in a c r ook ed

for them a AIINNEGRA; then they have poured the Liquor back upon
the matter, and replaced the ball, and driven over the liquor
a g a i n t a n d th i s th e y h a ve r epeated p or 10 times.
Then they have taken off the bal-I with the Liquor, and separated
i n t o 2 p a rts, a n d p u ri fi e d it well- , then they have obtained a
w h i t e a n d h i g h ye Il o w S PIRIT; with the white they have washed the
A L I N N EGR A i,.e . th e y h a ve r ubbed this sm a11, and put it into an

b e c o m e s a b l o o d re d co l o ur ; this they have pour ed off, and p our ed
on the above mentioned high yellow Liquor; and the other on the
I"ATONEM,and so long washed, tilL all redness had been drawn out of

a n d t h e w h i te S P IR IT i n a high vessel was dr iven off, til- I a thi c k

y e t m o r e to fl y, fro m th e flown over Bir d, that all water y moi s tur e
w a s s e pa ra te d th e re fro m.
Then have they calcined the remaining EARTH, and with the Phlegma
drawn out a SAIT, which they purified, and then they rubbed therein
t h e Bl o o d o f th e A n ci e n ts ( which is m or e pr ecious than Ophir i s
SO t ) p l ace d i n to a cro o ked necked vessel, and pour ed the flying
B i r d t h e re o n , a n d th e n d istilled and cohobated.
Then have they called such a Liquor their Chaos. This have they
put into an ACURESwell secured. The remaining white EARTHhave
t h e y t a ke n , w h e re o f th e y in the beginning extr acted the white SAIT ,
a n d r u bb e d i t sma l l , a n d put it into a vessel of ACURES. ( Fi gur e 1p) .

And weighed the same, and added to it 2 parts of the above liquor,
a n d t h e n p u t th e ve sse l i n a mitd heat, and distilled over the
liquor, artd this they have COHOBATED so often, until it remains
lying with the EARTHand is fixed. Then they have poured thereon
fresh liquor, and so continued, till all the EARTHwith the tiquor
has flown up, and then fixed in the FIRE and remain lying.
Then have they taken the half of this and melted with equal
weight of Ophiris SOL, so have they gotten a clear Tincture.
Then are such camied off, as I taught you before, already dear
brethren, beeause all the after work i-s one and the same.
But as you see the preleminary works, as you see, are different.
Dear brethren, there have been some of the Ancients who worked
thus: they have taken this green Lion, and shut it up in a ALINGEL,
i . e . a l o n g n e cke d ve sse l , and put it in hor se- dungr or other wi s e
in a mild vaporous heat, that it should be resolved.. Then have
they gone to work with it, as dear brethren, I taught you in the
p r e c e e d in g , ta ke n fro m th e Ancients descr iption of the l{ or k.

54.
T h e y h a v e i n th e w o rk' p roceeded with this wonder ful- SALT, as the
w i s e d i d w i th th e Gre e n Lionr so they pr epar ed it fr om the 01d One.
F o r i n th e w e t w a y i t i s a wor k, which concer ns the after - wo r k ,
further, dear brethren, Vou should also lmow that with the prepared
liquor they attacked the PIIYTONI; because they had not all the
lonowledge of this our marvellous MATERIE, and aLso they have taken
the PIIYTON,and put it into a high vessel, and poured thereon of
t h e f l y i ng se rp e n t, a n d put a head onto the vessel, placed the
v e s s e l i n sa n d , a n d so h as the flying ( dr agon) eaten the cr ee pi ng
reptile, a n d d i si n te g ra te d it. Then have they dr iven it over ,
beeause it has remained from them a useless EARTH, this flylng
Bird they have then poured on a fresh PHYTON,and again driven
t h e m o v e r to g e th e rr so h ave they got a secr et dissolving ITATER ,
o f g r e a t e ffe ct. T h i s h ave they let m ount yet per se in a wel l
s e c u r e d ve sse l , th a t a l l r emaining water y m oistur e should be s ep-
arated, and so get its strength, fiery and clearr a'S a tear from
t h e e y e . Wi th th i s T ,i q u or have they also been able to do won der s ,
and have given it divers names.
With such Liquor have they also gone to work: They have taken
Ophiris S0l,rand beat it into thin leaves, and put it into an AI,INGEL
a n d p o u re d so mu ch o f th e W ater ther eonr &s they thought to be
enough.
T h e n ha ve th e y p l a ce d this in a mild heat, so has this fier y
SP I R I T co n su me d th e S Of,, and disintegr ated it into B1ood.
There has the King lain in his Bl-ood, and hls limbs sunk to the
bottom. Then have they poured off this Red Liquor, and from their
SPIRITUAL Liquor of COIUMBADIAI{AE poured yet more thereon ti1l
t h e BL o o d w a s d e co cte d . Then have they pour ed such into a hig h
gIass. (F i g u re 2 Q).
Then they put a head thereon, and LENTE distilled over the flying
reptile, tilI it became a dry l,iquor. This have they put in an
ALINGEI well secured, some have put this Liquor into a erooked
V e s s e l : (th u s: fi g u re 2 I).

And put it into an Oven in sand, and distill this over and Co-
hobate it, and so have they got the true OIL of SOt and so have
they received a great IvIYSTERIUM.This red fiery Lion have they
divided into two portions, the one half they have put into a high
ALINGEL, and such hermetically closed, artd put the ALINGET into
an 0ven3 (Figure 2?) in which they could give AIGIR FIRE' and 1et

p o u r e d . o f th e o th e r p o rti onr l por tion ther eon, and closed the
vessel again, and put again into the oven, and let it stand until
it was again firm. Then they tllk it our, and poured the remainder
thereon, and this they continued till- the remainder was all firm
and togetherr so they found a fiery firm OIL.

Dear brethren, others who from God the Lord endowed with more
wisdom, took their PHYTONwhich now had wings, artd shut it up in
the SOL; the SOLUTIONthey poured off, for their COLUMBA DIAI{AE
was nothJ-ng strange to the S01,, and then weighed it, and if to-
g e t h e r 8 sh e ke l s h e a vy, so they placed ther eto also the conmon
PHYTON,whi.ch must be however pure. This they put into an ALINGEL
well cLosed in the Oven in a mild heat; in the beginning it was
black and a true Chaos, and went at l-ast through all the colours.
Others, who saw yet a nearer w?V, poured the COLUMBA DIAI{AE on pure

selves many times in needr a's also their brethrenr but how woul-d
t h e y h a ve w i sh e d to re ma i n in such need, if the Highest had n ot
helped?
T h e r e fo re , d e a r b re th re n, have I disclosed to you anew a great
secret' that you might find a consolation for one cannot have
everlrwhere r what one desires in time of need. That it may not fail
you in your grief and misery, ti1l the deliverance comes according
t o t h e wo rd s o f th e L o rd .

Be not disconsolate without ELIAS and Our King, to collect again
t h e h e a th e n to V o u r to d estr oy themr a.s some of our br ethr en d.i d,
with whom need made them bad, that of them often l-000 have fallen
in one day as by BARCHOCETA.This one thought because he also
understood this Science, how one should prepare the IvIfSTmIUM,
and to the people to prepare a dreadful poisonous WATER;thus, Vou

58.
must take PIRTRE KAIY PHYTONPWON SAIT EARTH, out of this he taught
the people to make a poisonous WATER,and they made by Cohobating
such a horrible fume of poison thereby. This they poured into
Springs, and it was thick, dark and muddy in the heaven. They
poured the salne into a vessel, they put the same in profusion to
t h e F I R E r so i t b e g a n to sm oke, and posioned also the AIR, that
men and beasts perished, then there came sueh a frightfuU- illness
among the people, that they got dreadfull burning blisters' which
then began to putrefy and to stink, many became pitch black, artd

strongly, that no escape was at hand. Guard yourself, I say yet
again, guard yourself from the Iike, that you do not make the bur-

Dear brethren, our father Jacob served f years for Rachel, and
it was very toilsome for him; and his reward was changed for a1l
t h a t , c o n si d e ri n g th a t i nstead of Rachel he got leah.
This is even truly a prototlpe of your servitude.
The l,ord, the Holy One however will soon conduct us home, when
t h e o t h e r se ve n ye a rs o f affliction ar e past.
W e mu st su ffe r w i th L e ah the weeks of affliction yet a sho r t
t i m e , th e n w i l l R a ch e l b e br ought to us.
Consider that Ephraim is the first born of RacheL and not Judah.
T h e r e f ore a re w e fo rsa ke n, and the Lor d calIs Jer em iah, V. 30220.
0 Ephraim, my only son how my heart breaks for thee that I must
again have compassion on thee, and deliver thee and Lead thee out
from Hagar and her son.
Brethren, the time is soon at an end, that Hagar will drop her
son for sadness. For the holy ADONAIwill thrust her out from
our inheritance, and she will languish from heat, and not be able
t o s e e , th a t h e r so n d i .es fr om sadness, till the Angel will c om e
o f t h e C h o se n P e o p l e , to comfor t her a little; yes the Lor d w i l l
n o t d e stro y a II th e h e a then, but pr eser ve a por tion for the s er v i c e
of his people.
D e a r b re th re n , to g i ve you yet a consolation tilf then, and to
cheer Vou, have I again here drawn a figure in order to impress on
y o u r i g h t d e e p l y th e se crets. You see an 01d hol- low Oak- tr ee s tand-
i n g i n a g a rd e n a ro u n d which is twisted a r ose bush with r ed r os es ,
which has gilt leaves. Underneath from the stem of the tree runs
a LUNARwhite WATER.
There are some who not far from this have hoed and digged, but
found. nothing; except those who by the way, who contemplated the
weight. Dear brethren the old tree is our black and heavy rocky
lumps of our ALBAON.
Yo u mu st stri ke th i s rock, tilI it gives W ATIA,,as you hav e

5L.
already previously with all circumstances been instructed and
taught. For
the LUNARwhite Y|ATER,which flows underneath from
the tree, is our PHYTONC0LUMBADIANAE, which is heavy. That how-
e v e r t h e tre e
b e a rs re d r oses with gilt leaves, such signified
t h e BL 00 D o f
th e 0 1 d On e, which must be dr awn out of such vis i bl y ,
a s t h e B L 0 0 D o f th e l i o n r or our secr et.
That it however flows underneath out of the tree signifies a
LUNARwhite IYATER,which should be prepared from the root of such
a thingr so that in all parts of its nature it shal1 be KIN to the
S01, and LLINA, and that it may be also easily made firm and stable.
If you should l-ose al-l writings, then you should only depict
t h o s e F i g u re sr o p d ra w such for your ehildr en, so will they, as
o t h e r s w h o a re o f a g o o d under standing, easily under stand suc h,
for one dares only to speak with few words, what concerns the
IVIISTERIA,come to the help of it.
Dear brethren, in order that I however suppress nothing which
could serve for your advantage, so mark what wonders the Ancients
have accomplished, when they have taken the PHYTONISor our GLUTEN
AQUIIAE, that you might yet better understand, our COLUMBAM DIANAE,
and with such have aLso gone to work.
T h e y h a ve ta ke n th i s a s it ascended fr om the OId One; and hav e

 Then have they prepared a acrid WATER , as you well Imow, and. is
well lorown already to you from the foregoing; in such have they
dissolved IUNA, and taken such a SOLUTION,beat again with NITRE
WATER,and well sweetened. 0f such have they rubbed I portion
among 2 portions of the COIUMBADIAi\IAE, and then put on the fire,
b u t b e f o re th e y w e re p l a ced with each other in a tall vessel,
therein in a most tolerable FIRE the LUNA also ascended; this they
have done among the remainder, and again the Bird (Figure ?+)
caused to fly, and that to the third time; so has it appeared with
a g r e a t b ri l l i a n ce , a n d has also toler ably lost its poison.

The remainder in the crooked necked vessel have they taken out,

it up. (F i g u re 2 5 ).

 The COLUMBA DIANAE however from the head put thereto, and. thus
with each other metamorphosed into a heavy glittering WATER. Had
they however poured this wArER several times on the remaining
IUNAR EARTH, and thereof caused it to fly, so would they have
it coagulated into a White Stone. For this serpent or three-head.ed
bird loses at last it wings, and will remain firm, such has happened
t o m e , d e a r b re th re n .

This glittering stone metamorphoses the VB{US into good LUNA,

cart easily be augmented, as you will have understood in my previous
writings. This is the MEVIAIVIORP}IOSED
VENUS cloathed with the LUNA.
AIso has it happened to me someti-mes that I poured the COIUMBA
DIAI'IAEto a Ophiris S0L, brought before to a DUST, and driven it
with such aloft, in order that this green BIRD might rob the KING
of BODYand BI,OOD,and raise it also.

b o t h b e ca me i n a sh o rt space of time hom ogeneous.
This brown red Stone tinged and metarnorphosed, yet for all- that
like the above with a few grains some shekel-s of metals into SOL.
Therefore when you will in a short and little time help yourself
and your brethren, then let this be said to you, that all Metals
ex PHYTHONE have their source and beginning. A11 Metals consist
of D(-PIfYTHONE,for the IVIERCURY is their beginning. This sleeping
Lion you can with the fixed DIAI{AE easily again waken, (Figure 27)

F:.gare 21.

if you rub only of the COTUMBA DIAI{AE 1 portion among 4 portions

of the fixed, and put such only into a commonvessel, then will the
fixed one overcome the flying, and eat it in a very short time,
so that you reeeive here a higher and more penetrating stone and
can likewise augment as long as you wish. (Figure 281.
Dear Brethren, that you can bring forrr'rard no excuse r 4s if the
wise Creator did not eare for you, so have I from inclination and
c o m m a r tdre co rd e d , a n d mu st r ecor d, that it m ight not get 1ost, and

not forbear to discover to you yet something more. I have again
h e r e d e pi cte d a F i g u re , a nd how can I other wise, that you may
yet see.
Yo u s ee a fl o w e r w i th 7 leaves, which flower is r ed and SOL,
the leaves however not sol,, which are blown by the North wind.
The leaves signify our GREEN!ION, which is far better than ophiris
SOt, The Flowers however signify our RED FIXED LION, the TINCTURE,
whieh no north wind ean move. And that it stands on the mountain,
has a two-fo1d meaning. Firstly, it is sought by many men, but
found by few. For this Mountain is our Altarr our MATERIE, which

since yet their poison is pure TINCTURE.
Secondly, that such Flower is born in the Air signifies that it
mounts on the mountains, i.e. into the ALEMBIC.
N.B. That is the COLUIIBADIAJ{AEand is at first all there is
found and seen. That however many griffins watch the nountain,
and fiery dragons, has a two-fold meaning.
The fiery d.ragons are the PHYTONor unveiled DIAIIIAE. (Figure 30).

That nobody lorows her, as well in the wet as the dry way. So

from the SAIT AERUMof the Magnetic fatness of the AIR this fiery
Dragon be understood, with which the Ancients did wonders, and
this they have learned from Moses.
The Griffins are, as previously mentioned, nothing other than
SPIRITUS PIIIT0NIS, which can be prepared as well from the o1d
Albaonr ?s also from the CHAOSUNIVERSALII from men and Vines.
(Figure 31). With which they mixed some MINF,RALspirits, and from
such they prepared a volatile SPIRIT, with which they burnt off the

Now however, dear brethren, sha1l I show yet some secrets worthy

72.
Figure 3L.

of wonder from our inexhaustible spring of the Ancients, and yet

more Mysteria. When Vour as you previously rrnderstood, your PHYTON'
or Flower have cleansed by many ascendi.ngs, so have you put this
arnong prepared LITNAr or transported into, and have also with each
other 1et f1y onee, so has it become fat and glutinous.
This you have preserved, and when you have prepared i-t you will
'
likewise see its form. This mercurial Flower will appear, l-i-ke
the most beautiful pearls. Yfill- you prepare large pearls then
'
take only small ones, and make such to an inconceiveable DUST, and
take of the COLUMBA DIAI{AE, so much thereof, that it becomes like
a pap, somewhat thick, and has SOt or LITNAforms r how great you
would have these, made into such pearls, and stick through each
a s t r o n g b ri stl e , w h i ch is clean. The br istles stick to a c r os s
p i e c e of w o o d , th i s p u t into a vessel, which you can well clo s e;
arrd.place it in a mild heat, (Figure 32) so they will become in
a short time as hardr &s they have been, and of great brilliancy,
Take these out and steep them into the l-,iquor prepared from the
COLUMBA DIANAE, and let theur be wiped clean, then put them again
into a glass, and in a mild heat, the others in a short tine wilL
surpass. You can also cause forms to be made with divers figures,
a s b i r d s, l a mb ki n s, p e a rs , apples and the like, besides that, Vou

One can carry such a pearl himsel-f, and conceal and yet be of
great value. The Ancients have yet further looked about in Nature.
I f t h e y h a d p re ci o u s sto n es, which had not got their matur e and r i ght
colour so have they quickly larown, such to bring to sight. If they
have had a Diamond, which was large and not pure, they have cleansed

Dear brethren, that it may not fail you in the instruction, so

I w i l L h e re i n co n cl u si o n , will not hold back fr om you the r em ai n-
i n g s e c r e ts o f th e A n ci e n ts, but will r eveal these, wher ewith y ou
m a y b e a b l e to co me to th e help of the necessitous. I have a gai n
drawn a Figure, which comprehends much in itself. Give heed to
it we1I.
You see, that a King stands in the Figure with a naked sword;
h i s s o l di e rs a re ki l l i n g innocient childr en, and they colleet the
b l o o d i n a w e l l sta n d i n g ther eby, which this is alr eady filled
w i t h b I o o d , i n o rd e r to colour it yet some mor e. Into which des -
cends SOL & IUNA to bathe themselves therein. This Figure has a
two-fold meaningr a's well in the wet and dry way.
That the King stands, and has a sword in his hand, means, that
o n e s h a l 1 ki 1 I th e K i n g with it, which means nothing else but one
s h a l l t ake Op h i ri s S OL , a nd with such a double edged swor d, w i th
the double Central FIRE, burn up and disintegrate, where I have
s h o w n y ou a l so , tw o w a ys, such to get it over .
The first is prepared out of the UNMRSAI CHAOS,the other from
the AI'IIIIAL, Vegetable and MINERAI. Particularly must you conform
t o m y t e a ch i n g , w h e re I showed, how the Ancients ther ewith went to
w o r k . T h e y h a ve ta ke n th is fier y flying SPIRIT, and pour ed thi s
on the PHYTON,and so has it taken away from it the metal-Iick nature,
and has become a GLUTINOUS white water. With this have they further
proceeded, and this IIQUOR they again poured on fresh P}IYTON,so
has it also became a thick viscous water. Then have they taken
t h e Ki n g, a n d d i sso l ve d i t ther ein, then has it become r ed lik e
t o B L O OD . T h i s B L 0 0 D h a ve they now also called the RED LION, thi s
have they fixed, and as I already taught Vou, augmented their work
w i t h t h i s sl o p p y P H Y T ON ,and also found a blessed ending.

 O t h e r s h a ve p re p a re d these two FIREIS in their voLatile form ,
a n d t a k e n a n d d i sso l ve d the King with this, and distilled the r efr om
t h e f l y in g B rR D p a rtl y, to a r ed lr QuoR. This have they pr es er v ed,
a n d p u t to o n e si d e , th e n have they also dissolved of the DIAI,[A,
s o h a v e th e y g o t a b l u e -gr een water r of such have they likewi s e
from the Liquor drawn the flying BfRD in a mild heat, whereof they
c o u l - d n o t h i n d e r, th a t this SPIRITT 4s well fr om the King, as w hos e
spouse should not have carried and taken something away.
0n this account have they poured this flying BrRD with solar
and lunar feathers on the PHYTONTso has it again dissolved itself
again in such. Then have they poured off the clear Solution, and
put again on a fresh PHYTON, so have they got a fat and heavy
LIQU0R' then have they the King and Queen aIIied with each other,
artd poured together. 0f such have they put the half into an AIINGEL,
a n d a s h e a vy a s th e se tw o weighed, pour ed ther eon of their fatty
heavy IIQUOR. Then in such is the beginning and efficacious and
h a v e a l so h e re w i th se a l e d her metically their spr ings, with eac h
other well- closed, artd on our oven allowed to go through the colours,
till such had beeome firm. Then have they taken it out, and rubbed
small, again thereon poured of the BLOODof the King and eueen
1 p o r t i on ' a s a l so o f th i s CADM r ' onepor tion, and however wit h eac h
o t h e r l e t i t b e co me fi xt. This have they r epeated, till the BIOOD
of the King all had been consumed.
Then have they taken out their Tineture, and divided it into
t w o p o r ti o n s, th e o n e th ey have caused to flow with equal par ts
of Ophiris sOl-,, and so has it become a pure TINCTURE. Then have
they again divided this Tincture into two portions, the one portion
h a v e t h e y ke p t th e mse l ve s for sustenance of their life, the o ther
have they however blended with the half of the unmelted Tincture,
and rubbed amongst each other, this again put into an AIINGEL,
moistened with t]r.e GLUTENAQUTLLAE, that it had not only become
r a t h e r th i cki sh , cl o se d the AI,TNGEL we1I, and this again let i t go
through the colours for FIXATION and this have they practised in
INFINITUM.

N.B. T h a t sh o u l d yo u l o n owhowever , that this Tinctur e cannot be
b r o u g h t so h i g h r d s th a t descr ibed in the for egoir g, which took
i t s o r i g i n fro m th e o l d A L,BAON,or other wise pr epar ed fr om a v ol ati l e
s o l a r Ma te ri .a o r Me ta L l i c seed; for the wer l in this Figur e from
w h i c h t he b l -o o d re d w a te r gushes, signifies our Br ,oODof the ol d
ALBAON,which pure volatire Tincture is, in which SOL and LUNA
bathe themselves, or in which they grow young again.
This Figure also signifies the inexhaustable augmentation of our
great work, and is nothing other than our three beginning parts
whereof our single MATERIAtake their origin, wi.th and through
whieh is ALI IN ALl,, as well under as above the earth were born
all MINERAIS and METAIS, which Materia called by its right name,
a l s o t h e a n a l ysi s cl e a rl y taught. Ifi11 you on this account, i n al l
t r u t h r e me mb e r th i s mu ch ther eof.
O u r O ld On e a cco rd i n g to appear ance is like a lead or e, but i n
its parts is a pure volatile S01, and I,UNA; it dissol-ves almost
all its Corpus into a WATERby VffRfOL & NIIRE prepared, which is
a w o n d e r th a t V IT R IOL ca rt be metamor phosedi one finds also often
t h a t o u r Ol -d On e h a s w h i te poisonous bones, which is a pur e p oi s on-
o u s PH Y T ONo r S E E D , a n d i s her e a token, that Natur e seeks to m ak e
t h i s o n c e a g a i n vo l p ti l e , for in such a for m it can become no
METAI; for when this comes into the open FIRE, it flies all away,
a n d l e a ve s sca rce l y a l -i ttl- e Solar LUNA behind.
D o n o t b e te rri fi e d b e for e this poisonous r eptile, for this 01d
One lies invariable and Iives, yet it is a living MATERIA, which
b r e a t h e s a n d e xh a l e s w i th out ceasi- ng, this one without ceasing
it smel-l-s through a whole room, and when our Old One is triturated
and brought into the smallest moleeule, annexed to such and is put
t o g e t h e r i n to a ve sse l , then this poisonous ser pent coalesces agai n;
s o i n d e ed ' th a t i f i t i s often dr iven fr om one vessel- to another ,
a n d c o a le sce s so r th a t o n e can with no m allet can often br ing fr om

( a s D a vi d e mp l o ye d i t, from the br ook with which he killed Gol i ath)
so it gives in a strong fire a heavenly dark blue ACURES,that
a l s o i t s T i n ctu re a n d S trength shows itself in all places.
When this MATERIAis not yet too old in the mountain pits is met
with, then it appears as a LUNAwith red intermi-xed, and is called
a volatile IIINAR ore.
If this MINERAI is older and has stood longer, then has it all
t h e c o l o u rs o f th e w o rId , as LUNARwhite with viol- et or blue, r ed
w i t h g o l d e n l i ttl e sp a rks inter mixed, often quite pur e.
T h e t hi rd sp e ci e s i s, when this in the pits begins to becom e

s i l v e r g re y mi xe d w i th much white. Ther e is in this a most p oi s on-
o u s a n d p u re vo l a ti l e T i n ctur e, which is well to bear in mind, and
a l l t h r ee a re o f o n e sp e cies and fr om one r oot, only that one pos s es s es
m o r e T i nctu re , th a n th e other , Vet ar e all thr ee pr ecious in the
Art' and this MATERIAis a right HERMAPIIRODITE, i.e. of masculine
and feminine seed. The other I{ATERIA is also not to be thrown
a w a y , f o r i t i s a l mo st i n al- 1 its par ts a pur e volatile SOT,s eed,
l o o k s u su a l l y l i ke p u re SOL, is found also in r ed and yellow M AR C Z ,
in black and yellow grains, also in grey and white sand mixed with
b l a c k g r a i n s. F ro m su ch may it also be dissolved with a l,IeUOR ,
and brought into Crystals of strange properties.
I h a v e a l so h e re p o i n te d out, what the M ATERIAis, which is de-
noted by so many strange Names and Figures for it is everlrwhere
e a s y t o g e t. A 1 1 o th e r Tinctur es as I have shown and descr ibed
to you, from other MATERIAare only helpers in need, and take away
often more times than when you had the correct MATERIAM;if how-
e v e r o n e ca n n o t h a ve th i s, while one is not qualified in all pl ac es ,
so will I on that accorrnt yet further show Vou r when you have no
SOL or LUNAr a's from the base METAIS a TINCTUREprepare, by means
of the above named double fiery spirits.

 Others however who had no S0I, or LUNA at the beginning took their
volatile FIRE and IVIARS,and made it tenderty into DUST, and poured.

Here they had a marvellous SAIT, so in its i-nterior a pure Bl,00D,

body of the VENUSand IVIARS.
The fiery SPIRIT which was drawn over from the VENUS& MARS, they

They eohobated the sPrRrT with the orl, from the rernaining red
EARTHso often, ti1l the most part of it had flown over.
Flom the remaining EARTHthey extracted with the laid up Humid-
ity' so they distilled off from the PIIYTONa white SAIT, this they
also brought into their LIQUOR.
These three now they put in a mild heat, that they should r.rnite
w i t h e ach o th e r. T h e n they distilled such with each other , wi th
a strong FIRE & COHOBANDO from a strong vessel, then they got a
LIQUORof marvellous effect.
0f this they took one portion and of the LIQUORin which the
PHYTON h a d j o i n e d , a l so one por ti- on, these two they pour ed together ,
and distilled thern afterwards with a strong FIRE C0HOBAI{DO.
They took this LIQUORand divided it into 4 portions, the one
portion they brought into an AIINGEL, and shut it we1l, and let
them together go through the colours. Others however, who were
more lorowing, took the EARTH, which from the NITRE remained behind,
and heated it throughly, and it is well true, and brought it into
s u c h a ve sse l , w h i ch w a s tall, because such was of a vir ginal
essence, and poured on the I,IQUOR, when the EARTHweighed one
s h e k e l , th e y p o u re d 7 sh ekels heavy of the LIQUORther eon, a nd
put the vessel only in a oven in sand and began to distill, and
d i s t i l - I e d w h a t w o u l d g o over . The over ascended they cohobated,
till it all remained firm behind. Then they poured on fresh LIQU0R
l p o r t i o n th e re o f, a n d continued such, tilI it would no m or e be
coagulated, but flew into the vessel together, fixed and constant
in the FIRE.
0f this IIQUOR now carried overl they poured. 1 portion to 16
portions of VENUSin f1ux, and got the most beautiful SOL.

This they parted into 2 portions, and put the one portion again

 O t h e r s, h o w e ve r w h o w e re mor e sage, took this m ar ver lous sAl r ,

T h i s t h ey n o w to o k, a n d br ought it into a cr ooked necked vess el of
ACURES,and separated this tiquor from each other, and put it again
togetherr ets I have already taught you. This now of a simple con-
ception was made with great trouble from this salty T,IQUOR,as
m e n t i o n e d p re vi o u sl y, w i th str ong FIRE, which alone they mad e fi r m ,
and had no lcnowledge of the P}[YTON,how it as a co-agent r 4s SOL
a n d I U NA mu st b e i n d o i n g this, that they also its seed gave ther eto.
When now that they carried their Tincture to the VENUSso it
i n d e e d be ca me a l so a T i n ctur e, when however they car r ied this to
o t h e r ME T A IS , b e fo re th e y car r ied it to the VENUS, as that pr ev -

h o w t o h e l p th e mse l ve s, and if they car r ied this TINCTUREto the
PH Y T O NT so i t w o u l -d n o t take it in, for it was yet in its com bus t-
i b l e b o d i e s, th e re fo re th ey must be satisfied with what they had,
t h a t t h e i r w o rk w a s n o t once satisfied.
D e a r bre th re n , N a tu re j -s most hidden, Vet she can give no m or e,
than she herself has in her power. Others now who had no SOL or
LUNA in readiness, Vet from a mighty understanding when they pre-
p a r e d t he i r d o u b l e fi e ry spir it, they pr eser ved such, and m ade,
as I taught you already in the beginning, a solar SPIRIT with
AIATRON, HADIT, CELWIAIATEI, this they dissolved. in pure WATER'
a n d l e t su ch a g a i n th e re from fum e, this they r epeated sever al ti m es ,
then they poured a SPIRIT prepared from the VIN0 thereon, and

then they made with the fiery WATERalso from the PHYTONa glut-
i n o u s I IQU OR , a n d p o u re d these two together , and made this acc or di ng

84.
to the Art firm; then they got an orr, TrNcruRE on vENUS in sol,.
0thers however made a SAI,T from the IIARS and VENUSas is taught
and from this with force of the fire drove an OIT, IIQUOR and poured
these 3 in similair weight together. The EARTHVIRGINEAMso re-
maining' they calcined with strong FIRE and commencedto carry
t h e i r T i n ctu re th e re o n r & s is alr eady said, and so they got a
Tincture much stronger than the former, and couLd al-so easily in-

T h e r e fo re ca n yo u se e , dear br ethr en, when you wish to, that the
ALT,WISE KING of the }forld has shown enough ways, to help you in

following way, for they not always would have been able to attain
their purpose, and have yet understood and Imown the true MINERAI
MATERIA.
So have they taken such, and beat small, and with this MENSTRUO
or fiery WATERdissolved its body, and prepared from the sane a
marveLLous SAIT, and have come much nearer to Nature.
With such a GREENLION have they gone to work, according to the
a b o v e t e a ch i n g , a n d h a ve also obtained their pur pose.
Others who lanewnot how to help themselves, and who wanted wisdom

This DUST they have carried to other SOL standing in a red flux,
and tinged such SOL with it, and transmigrated it to a brittle
