and birth begins out in and by his own seed but at first all things were brought forth out of the earth on Grass Trees and Herbs through the Word Spirit and Salt The Salt hath given to the Grass Herbs and Trees their bodies which they all have in them The Spirit hath given them Power and Virtue especially for Physick but the Word giveth the blessing to it The true Physick Virtue and Blessing may be sought and gathered out of the salt of the earth and of every Herb and be made Corporeal and at the time when it doth greeny that the essence may be extracted and reduced to a Spiritual and Coelestial body which cometh forth green and yieldeth power to Physick Christ saith unto his Disciples Mat. 5 13. Ye are the Salt of the Earth The Reason because thereby the whole world was seasoned and made fertile that it did grow up to everlasting life and happiness But now all Salt is become unsavoury the Reason because there is no Spiret nor Word of Life in it Therefore it is cast upon the Dunghill and trampled upon And behold the Lord will Create a new one Amen Halelujah The particular Creati●n hath begun from and on the lower and went upwards As now the earth is adorned with Grass Herbs and Trees So had God on the fourth day adorned the Heaven and Firmament with Lights Sun Moon and Stars which came forth and grew out of fixed flying and flying-fixed Salt of the Heaven and are even as the precious stones of the earth They are fixed in their Heavenly body and at the highest temper but they are flying in their course although some of them do stand still The chief Lights of Heaven are the seven Planets Saturn is the highest and belongeth to the earth and standeth to the earth who knoweth whether he were the highest at the beginning or whether he came to be the highest after the fall and that Mercury was to give place to him Many things are to us hid and much of mystical secrecy is in them For Saturn eateth all and is Death and domineers over all But Mercury maketh alive and growing Of all much were to be said but Sapienti satis Therefore we must take good heed to the contrary elements which over the fall ruled over all But we must be careful and witty to rule over them that death may be drowned and swallowed up in victory On the fifth day God Created out of the Waters all things that live therein and also the Birds out of the flying salt in the water Hence it is that they are so flying and these have their particular consideration by reason of the flying salt and in their Feathers they are Physical in flying Mercurial diseases as in the Falling sickness Madness Giddiness for these diseases have their original from the Spirits through Gods permission and must be cured with a flying Salt which is reduced to the highest degree Be it known also that there is great Virtue in Precious stones as in Pearls Amber Coral namely when they are first baptized with a Coelestial water which be altogether Spirit The Load-stone also hath its mystery And who can tell all We may well say Great are the works of the Lord He that observeth them taketh delight therein and to them they are propounded On the sixth day God Created all the beast of the earth and the Worms and at last man with him he closed up the Creation Among the ●ermius or Beasts the Serpent is the Center in the beginning she did not creep upon her belly and did not feed upon earth but that was laid on her as a Curse from God Whether she had Wings we will not deny There is great subtilty in her and a Mystery hidden therein At the beginning she was not venomous and among all the Beasts she was the next by and about Man as she will also be the next about him in the new world when that enmity is at an end Isa 11. 8. No Creature is so bodily fair and subtil as the Serpent Now because she was at first always about Man therefore the Devil did perswade her to perswade Man that he should break of the Tree of Knowledge and eat of the fruit thereof Because the Serpent is Mercurial and flying and is the Center of all Beasts therefore needs must there be a great mystery in her for Physick if rightly prepared for the Mercurial diseases especially being full of bones Therefore God hath finished the work of Creation on the sixth day with and on men of whose Creation hereafter and on the seventh day the Lord did rest and blessed that same day The six days bear a Curse by Reason of sin but the seventh day that now truly cometh that bringeth blessing and rest Joy Honour and Glory which joyful day of our Redemption we through the spirit of Prophesying do annunciate to all Creatures under Heaven in an everlasting Gospel and a very joyous Message which to annunciate is given to us from the spirit of prophesying CHAP. XV. Of the Mystery of the Word II is known out of the Holy Scriptures that all things are made and Created by the word and that yet all things are made by the word and are preserved through the word But here we will not speak Theologically but only naturally according to the Creation Neither do we speak Theosophically of the depths of God both which we save till another time and place The word of Creation is the general power of God out of which in which and by which all things are subsist and will be This general power of Almighty God every Creature makes use of for its best good But only Man abuseth it as also do the Devils and Spirits by Gods permission Hence it cometh that men must give an account of every idle word because they have abused the breath of the Almighty and use it to sin Oh that I could lay a Lock to my mouth that I might not transgress with my Tongue Because now all Mysteries are hid in the word therefore the same also performs all things in the world Therefore we will say that hence ariseth a three fold Magick through faith that is a power to know something to bring it to an effect First there is a Natural Magick which cometh out of Natural Faith wherein there is such a Magnet or Load stone that it can draw all things to it This faith is gotten in Man either of nature in his Spirit which is the true and right ascendent namely the spirit of man and by no means this or that Astre or Constellation as the ignorant do imagine which is only in signam ascendentis c Or this faith through the art and instruction of the natural Magick is wrought in man so that his spirit receiveth the ascendent and rejoyceth in the same As the ascendents in an may very well be transmuted transplanted and altered by the spirits Of his natural Magick without

same upon me if it be but as much as a Coriander or Hemp Seed only to transmute four grains of Lead into gold Elias I confess an honest good man first shewed me the possibility and then the art and manner to prepare the Medicine but to give thee any of this Medicine is not lawful though I had for it as many Duckets as would fill this room not for my esteem of the matter which is of no price at all but for other private considerations and to make it so appear I would now through all into the fire to be consumed if it were possible for the fire to destroy fire Be not therefore covetous for thou hast seen more then many Kings or Princes that have sought for it But I must now depart and purpose to come again at three weeks end and then if not hindred or forbid I will abundantly satisfie thy curiosity to see transmutation in the Interim I warn you not to tamper with this dangerous art least you lose your fame and substance in the ashes Physitian Sir What shall I do if it be not lawful for you to bestow so small a part of your tincture because of your Philosophical Oath taken at your drinking the dissolved Silver in the rain water Yet know I do eagerly desire to learn this and I believe Adam thrown out of Paradice for eating an Apple would again desire this golden Fruit out of Atlantas Garden though to hazard the destruction you premonish And though I have not yet seen transmutation from you I thank you for your great friendship in forewarning me of the dangers and shewing me what I have seen and till your return I shall delight my self with what is discovered both of your Medicine and Person But I fear Sir if any King Prince or Potentate should know the same which God forbid they would perchance imprison and torture you till you should reveal all the art to them Elias I never shewed the Stone to any in the world but to you except one aged man and henceforth shall not to any but if any King or other which I hope God will not permit should Rack me to pieces or burn me alive I would not reveal it to them neither directly nor indirectly as many circumferanious Physitians Mountebanks Vagabonds and others pretend to do Phisitian Good Sir tell me in the Interim who are the best Authors in regard by experience you are best able to judge Elias Indeed Doctor I have not read many books but amongst those I have read none more curious then Cosmopolite Sendivogius The Dutch Borger Derwerel and Brother Basilins 12 Keys I can lend thee Sendivogius at my return in whose obscure words the Truth lyes hidd even as our Tincture lyes inclosed in the minerals and Metallick bodies Phisitian Sir I give you most hearty thanks for your exceeding kindness and love Believing that marvellous and efficacious Essences and Tinctures lies hid in Metals and Minerals under the external rinds and shells of their bodies though I find few so expert in the Fire to know how to pick out their Kernel Philosophically for as Isaac Holland writes the outward body of every Animal Vegetable and Mineral is like to a Terrestrial Province within which excellent spiritual essences do retire and dwell Wherefore it is needful that the sons of art should know how by some saline fit sutable Ferment pleasant and agreeable to the Metallick Nature to tame and subdue dissolve separate and concentrate not only the Metallick Magnetick virtue wherewith to Tinge but also Philosophically to multiply the same in their golden or silvery Homogenity For we see that the bodies of all creatures are not only easily destroyed but as soon as they cease to live they hurry to their graves in putrefaction viz. to their old Chaos and darkness of Orcus wherein they were before they were brought to light by Creation in this World But alas who or what man can or will shew us this Art in the Metallick Kingdom Elias Sir I confess you judge right of the natural destruction of things and if it be Gods pleasure he can as to me send one sooner then thou hopest to shew thee the manner to destroy Metals and Minerals in a true Philosophical manner and to gather their inward souls In the mean time implore the blessing of this great God who doth all things as he pleaseth To whom I recommend thee whose watchful eyes are always open over all his regenerated Sons in and through Christ Jesus So be sure I am your friend and once more Farewell THus my Friend Elias taking leave left me three weeks and to this very day nevertheless as a Spur he impressed all these things deep in my mind and Paracelsus confirmed them saying That in with of and by metals spiritualized and cleansed are perfect Metals made and also the living gold and Silver of Philosophers as well for humane as metallick bodies Wherefore if this guest my Friend had taught me the manner of preparing this Spiritual and Celestial Salt he spake of by and with which I might as it were within their own matrix gather the spiritual Rays of Sun or moon out of the Corporal Metallick substances Then truly from his own light he had so enlightened me that I should have known how Magnetically by a Sympathetick power in other imperfect corporeal metals their internal souls might be Clarified and Tinged so that their own similary bodies being of like kind might be transmuted into Gold or Silver according to the nature of red Seed into a red body or of the white Seed into a white and pure body For Elias told me that Sendivogius his Calybs was the true Mercurial Metallick humidity by help of which without any Corrosive an Artist might seperate the fixt rayes of the Sun or Moon out from their own bodies in a naked Fire in open Crusible and so make them Volatile and Mercurial fit for a dry Philosophick Tincture as he partly communicated and shewed me before he went to transmute the Metals For all learned Chymists must consent that Pyrotechny is the mother and Nurse of many noble Sciences and Arts and they can easily judge from the Colours of the Chaos of metals in the fire what metallick body is therein And truly every day metals and transparent stones are yet so procreated in the bowels of the Earth from their proper noble vapourons seed with a spiritual Tingent Sulphurous Seed in their divers Salty Matrixes for the common Sulphur or the Sulphur of any pure or impure metal whilst yet conjoyned with its own body being mingled only with Salt-Peter in the burning heat of Fire will be easily changed into the hardest and most fixed Earth And this Earth is afterwards easily changed by the air into most clear water and this water after by a stronger fire according to the nature of either pure or impure metallick Sulphur admixed is turned into Glass coloured with various and very beautiful

him see and he that hath Ears let him hear and an understanding Heart hearken unto it But this is the Revelation and appearance of Christ the day of the Revelation of the Son of Man namely that God in Christ and Christ in God a Spiritual Divine Heavenly Adam and man from Eternity is and hath been in a Divine Spiritual Heavenly Essence flesh and bloud and after this his essential Image he hath in the Creation created and framed a Soulish Adam and Terrestrial Man CHAP. XIX Of the Mystical Image that is of the Mystery of God THis is the Mystery of God as was said already which is clear and manifest on the Soulish Adam and Terrestrial Man from beneath that namely above is the true Adam and Man but beneath is only his Image Wonderful is Gods counsel and who hath known the Lords mind who was so pleased that the last should be the first and should receive the Money or Peny and the blessed glory at first Well may these last say This is the day which the Lord hath made let us rejoyce in it it is marvelous in our Eyes ●sal 118 To day is fulfilled the Word which is written The Stone which the builders rejected is become the Corner Stone and it is marvellous in our Eyes for the Spiritual Rock of which all the Fathers have eaten and drunk from the beginning of the world and upon which the Church of God is founded and builded remained unknown till to the seventh Trumpet where the Mystery of God must be manifested and is also made manifest for the Spiritual Adam and Heavenly Man in his Divine Flesh and Bloud through which we are so dearly bought is thrust away from the Holy place and on the contrary another Flesh and Bloud from beneath out of sinners is brought into the Holyest for an abomination of the desolation But now the new Creation is come in which the Word saith and the Lord himself speaketh as he hath promised Isa 52. 6. c. 40. 5. Saying Jehior or let it be light for the day is come which is known to the Lord to them to whom he will reveal his Mystery Zech. 14. Concerning the Mystery of God in the Creation of Man it is thus that God hath Created Man a Man and Woman Gen. 1. 27. And took the Woman out of the Man Chap. 2. 21 22. To shew the great Mystery of Christ and of his Church which is his Wife and spouse out of his flesh and bones Ephes 5. 30 31 32. But the Divine Spiritual and Heavenly Eve is threefold 1. The most holy Godhead it self 2. The Church of Christ 3 The Heavenly Soul in Man This is the body of Christ his Church whose Saviour he was made for which he gave himself The Divine Eve as the most Holy Godhead is the Mother of us all and the right Jerusalem which is from above The Spiritual Eve as the Church of Christ is the Mother the Spouse of the Lamb. The Virgin and Daughter of Jerusalem The Heavenly Soul is the Heavenly Eve a Maid of the Lord a Daughter of Jerusalem who was married to a Terrestrial Man who brought her to great misery and death but the Lord was made a Servant for her and hath made her free again through his death and hath married unto her a new Adam man out of his flesh and bone of which she hath a divine Inheritance Now if we ask after the Mystery of God how that may be made known answer is on man it may be known There is but one man in one Person but in it three witnesses of his substance as Body Soul and Spirit and in seven Powers The Spirit is always in stead of the Father and is the Father himself also and begetteth by the Soul as by the true Mother to himself a body which is the Child and the Son in which dwelleth all fulness So there is but one God in one only Person but in three Witnesses Father Word and Holy Ghost and in seven Spirits or Powers of God God is a Spirit and a Father and begets through the Word and in the same to himself a Body a Child a Son in which he with all his fulness dwelleth bodily in this manner that he that seeth the Father seeth the Son also the word it self the quickening Spirit and the quickening Adam himself Afterward God begets a Son not after the Person or a personal distinction as one Man another Man else there would be two Gods although there is but one only God But after the Testimony for our sakes he begets a Son that we namely by that Witness as of the Father and Son in God might be made Gods Children Heirs and Co heirs out of his Seed flesh and bones for God in and for himself needs neither Father nor Son because there is never no more in him but one in number but even himself is Jesse and all in all neither are there two or three but One only and none else 3 Lastly God begets also a Son and is a father after the Testimony and that to all Creatures and what ever he hath Created namely that all might have a trust and confidence in him as also the young Ravens when they are forsaken by the old ones This Testimony is done by the Spirit which from God is in all things and fills up all Wisd 1. 7. Chap. 12. 1. Who it is that cryeth to God out of the young Ravens Who is a God of the Spirits of all Flesh Num. 16. 22. And remembreth to God that he is a father of all Creatures and cannot neither ought to forsake them Now the Spirit is it that calleth upon God in all Creatures and praiseth and glorifieth him where is is said in the Psalm All that hath breath Praise the Lord Every Spirit Laud and Praise the Lord The Earth the Sea and the Trees in the Forest Praise the Lord. O man there is much in the Spirit the knowledge of him availeth much for if you do not know him you are but a Beast without a Spirit as Ecclesiastes and others more have it CHAP. XX. Of the Truth and Spirit by which all Wisdom is justified WHen we intend to speak of the Wisdom it must be done in the Spirit and Truth Now nothing is Truth but only the Spirit and the same can lead us into all Truth can teach us all and can tell us of things to come for all Spirits are in subjection to him he penetrates through them all even as fire doth to Gold and Silver seven times and the good that remaineth in it it doth not undoe but rather thinks that there is a blessing in it and bloweth into the smoking ●lax a fire of Life Light and Fire and in●useth it self into the same that it may be fitted for a new Creation for a multiplication into many thousands But nothing may attain unto Wisdom unless it be first gone to the fire for a Tryal even as the Gold
