La cabala dei minerali 1

	The mine of our mercury is our saltpetre not that of the vulgar. Our sharp bitter vitriol is not that of the vulgar La nostra ammoniaca non è quella del volgo.
	The sprout of Mercury. L'acqua di vita Nove parti volatili fissano una parte di Mercurio. Homogenitas the sharp living water.
	Il nostro Mercurio. The living pontic water.
	Due o più parti del nostro mercurio sciolgono una parte della luna o del sole comuni, e divengono inseparabilmente un corpo spugnoso, che è chiamato la nostra luna o il nostro sole, e non è più quello comune. La Luna attraverso il mercurio di cinque aquile. Il Sole attraverso il mercurio di sette aquile.
	La calcinazione filosofica del Sole.
	La putrefazione filosofica. Of the calcination of our sun, having been watered with new mercury, two parts in weight, the common sun is made one body, black and not porous.
	La germinazione della vegetazione. The sun having been changed through the black colour becomes green, it is spread out into the vegetation.
	Il Solfo bianco. Our sun having been changed into a green colour, passes into white sulphur, which is the body animated by the incorruptible soul.
	Volatilizzazione attraverso il liquido. Here our white sun, without any imposition of a hand, nor opening of the flask a second time, is melted, the heat having been continued, with many coloured vapours resembling the tail of a peacock, then our white sun is being volatilised through a liquid.
	Volatilisation through dryness. Our volatile sun having been prolonged in heat, now having been made through liquid is dried up and becomes a body shining, as if dawn is breaking, and this is the volatilisation through dryness.
	Il Solfo rosso. By this the dawn gradually vanishes, our sun rises in beautiful grains and red [dissima] , and our red sulphur by the wise so desired, which however is not the end of the work.
	Another fermenation, the Imbibition of the stone. This red sulphur is inbibed with five parts of its bodies weight of fresh mercury, gradually and by degrees, through seven separate imbibitions, and the sequence having been revolves in heat in the wheel of nature in one month. They pass over the putrefaction and now the ruling words.
	La pietra del Saggio. The medicine of the third order. A month having been completed, the omnipotent king or our stone arises, the perfect medicine of the third order in its projection able to transmute all metals.
