center of the fruit that one can find the germ. 27. - The substance of the stone of the
philosophers is mercurielle. The wise one seeks it in mercury; the insane one seeks to
create it in the vacuity of its own brain. 28. - The germ of metals is in metals, and metals are
born from themselves. The growth of metals is very slow; but one can hasten it by adding
patience to it. 29. - Employ only perfect metals. Imperfect mercury, such as one usually
finds it in certain regions of Europe, is completely useless for this work. The wisdom of the
world is madness according to the Lord. 30 - What is coarse and thick must be made subtle
and fine by calcination. This is a very painful and very slow operation, because it is
necessary to tear off the root even of the evil; it makes bleed the heart and groan tortured
nature. 31. - The base of this art consists in reducing Corpora in Argentum Vivum. It is
Solutio Sulphuris Sapientium in Mercurio. A science deprived of life is a dead science; an
intelligence deprived of spirituality is only one false and borrowed light. 32. - In the solution,
the solvent and dissolution must remain together. Fire and water must be made ready to
combine. The intelligence and the love must remain forever plain. 33. - If the seed is not
treated by heat and moisture, it becomes useless. The froidure contracts the heart and the
dryness hardens it, but the fire of the divine love dilates it, and the water of the intelligence
dissolves the residue. 34. - The ground does not produce no fruit without a continuous
moisture. Null revelation does not take place in darkness if it is not by means of the light. 35.
- Moistening takes place by the water, with which it has much affinity. The body itself is a
product of the thought, and has for this reason greatest affinity with the intelligence 36. - Any
dry thing naturally tends to attract the moisture which it needs to become complete in its
constitution. One, of which came out all things, is perfect; and this is why those contain in
themselves the tendency to perfection and the possibility of reaching there. 37. - A seed is
useless and impotent, if it is not put in a suitable matrix. A heart cannot develop and
progress without an adapted body, because in fact the physical body provides the matter
necessary to its development. 38. - Active heat produces the black color in what is wet; in
all that is dry, the white color; and, in all that is white, the yellow color. Initially comes
mortification, then the calcination, and then the gilded glare produce by the light of the
crowned fire which illuminates the purified heart. 39. - Fire must moderate, uninterrupted,
slow, equal, wet, hot, white, light, embracing all things, be contained, penetrating, alive,
inexhaustible, and the only employee by nature. It is the fire which goes down from the
skies to bless all humanity. 40 - All the operations must be made in only one vessel and
without withdrawing it fire. The substance employed for the preparation of the stone of the
philosophers must be gathered in only one place and does not have to be dispersed in
several places. When once gold faded its, it is difficult to return it to him 41. - The vessel
must be well closed, so that water does not escape from it; it must be sealed hermetically,
because, if the spirit found a crack to escape, the force would be lost: and moreover it must
be quite closed, so that nothing from abroad and impure can be introduced and mix with it. II
with the gate of the laboratory a sentinel armed with glaive blazing must always y have to
examine all the visitors, and to return those which are not worthy to be allowed. (8) 42. - Do
not open the vessel before moistening is completed. If the vessel is open prematurely,
most of work is lost. 43. - More the stone is fed and nourished, more the will will increase.
Divine wisdom is inexhaustible; only is limited the faculty of receptivity of the form. (1) "
only and single subject of the magic as well as of the true Cabal, is not different than
Wisdom, the Verb, Christ. And that there is not an other name to call upon that that of
Jesus, because there is no name on the ground and in the sky by whom we can be saved,
except the name of Jesus, under which all things are joined together, because Jesus Christ
is all in all. " (Robert Fludd: Summun Bonum) (2) Vacuum supra, p. 54. (3) made
Abstraction of sound high interest concerning the technique of the parergon, this part is
particularly characteristic of the provisions necessary to hope to take part in the work most
external of Rosicrucian brotherhood truths. Let us say only that it is hardly of text of alchemy
also clear and honest but this one, complete in its brevity. It contains reference marks and
precise details which one would find with difficulty elsewhere, except perhaps at Kerdanec
de Pornic and that one would fruitfully confront with the " dream " of Cyliani. The supposed
