Take from it the said Clearness, and then
That Earth will stand but in little stead.
BUt if this Tincture could be separated
from the pondus of the matter, the
remainder would be an unprofitable Ter∣restriety:
Our work therefore is for to
advance this Light by exaltation in the
matter; which as it in its simplicity is but
in unity, so it may be brought to a Vir∣tue
millenary, and gradually so exalted,
that the matter would seem to be quite
swallowed up of the form; and yet in
this exaltation it is not the moles or pon∣dus
that is the Solary or Lunary Virtue,
descriptionPage 45
but a Light whose multiplication is not
in the increase of pondus, but in the cir∣culation
of Natures, till the Heavenly
illuminate the Earthly with an immediate
Beam, all interposition being removed
out of the way.
