est argentum vivum in qu•• non submergitur aliquod me∣tallum nisi aurum; id est, Sol submergitur verè tantum in argento vivo Antimoniali Sa∣turniali.
II. Et sine illo Argento vivo aliquod metallum deal∣bari non potest: Dealbat er∣go latonem, id est aurum, & reducit corpus perfectum in su∣am primam materiam, id est, in sulphur & argentum vi∣vum albi coloris, & plus∣quam speculum splendentis.
III. Dissolvit (inquam) corpus perfectum quod est de sua natura. Nam illa aqua est amicabilis, & metallis pla∣cabilis, dealbans Solem, quia continet argentum vivum al∣bum.
IV. Et ex hoc utrique ma∣ximum elicias secretum, vi∣delicet quod aqua Antimonij Saturnini debet esse Mercuria∣lis & alba, ut dealbet aurum, non urens, sed dissolvens & postea se congelans in formam cremoris albi.

Recipe (inquit) 〈◊〉〈◊〉 crudum foliatum, vel laminatum, vel calcinatum per Mercurium & ipsum po∣ne in aceto nostro Antimoniali, Saturniali, Mercuriali & sa∣lis armoniaci (ut dicitur) in vase vitreo, lato, & alto qua∣tuor digitorum, vel plus, & dimitte ibi in calore temperato, & videbis brevi tempore ele∣vari quasi liquorem olei de∣super natantem in modum pel∣liculae.
VII. Collige illud cum co∣cleari vel pennâ, intingendo, & sic pluribus vicibus in die collige, donec nihil amplius as∣cendat; & ad ignem facies e∣vaporare aquam, id est, super∣fluam humiditatem aceti, & remanebit tibi quinta essentia

VIII. In quo oleo Philoso∣phi posuerunt maxima secreta, & hoc oleum habet dulcedi nem maximam, atque valet ad mitigandos dolores vul∣nerum.
