.Boil it again with the former fire until it tinge again.THE PROCESS OF THE PHILOSOPHERS STONE ACCORDING TOPONTANUSTake the matter and grind it with a physical contrition as diligently as may be.Then set it upon the fire and let theproportion of fire be known, viz., that it only stir up the matter, and in a short time that fire without any other layingon of hands will accomplish the whole work, because it will putrefy, corrupt, generate, and perfect, and make toappear the three principal colors: black, white, and red.And by the means of our fire, the medicine will bemultiplied if it be joined with the crude matter, not only in quantity but also in virtue.Withall, they might thereforesearch out this fire (which is mineral, equal, continual, vapors not away, except it be too much stirred up; partakes ofsulphur, is taken from elsewhere than from the matter; pulls down all things, dissolves, congeals, and calcines, and isartificial to find out, and that by a compendious and near way without any cost, at least very small, is not transmutedwith the matter because it is not of the matter).And you shall attain your wish, because it does the whole work, andis the key of the philosophers which they never revealed. THE SMARAGDINE TABLE OF HERMES FROM WHENCE ALLALCHEMY DID ARISETrue, without all falsity, certain and most true.That which is inferior is as that which is superior, and that which issuperior is as that which is inferior, for the accomplishing of the miracles of one thing.And as all things were fromone, by the mediation of one, so all things have proceeded from this one thing by adaptation.The Father thereof isthe sun, and the Mother thereof the moon.The wind carried it in its belly.The nurse thereof is the earth.The father of all the perfection of the whole world is this.The virtue thereof is entire, if it be turned into earth.Thoushalt separate the earth from the fire, the subtle from the thick, sweetly, with a great deal of judgment.It ascendsfrom the earth up to heaven, and again descends down to the earth, and receives the powers of superiors andinferiors.So you have the glory of the whole world.Therefore let all obscurity fly from you.This is the strong fortitude of thewhole fortitude, because it shall overcome everything that is subtle and penetrate every solid thing, as the world iscreated.Hence shall wonderful adaptations be, whereof this is the manner, wherefore I am called HermesTrismegistus, having three parts of the philosophy of the whole world.It is complete, what I have spoken of the operation of the sun.POSTSCRIPTIf I shall hereafter see that what I have here done shall deserve a second edition, I shall "hereunto add some otherparts of chemistry, viz., sublimation and calcination which here I have omitted (except what I have written by theway of reference to the perfecting of any kind of distillation).For indeed distillation (which is the making,extracting, or purifying of liquors) is the chiefest subject of this discourse and, indeed, the whole, except somespagyrical experiments and curiosities set down in the fifth book
