VIII. The Smaragdine Table of Hermes, from whence all Alchymy did arise.

50. True without falsity, certain and most true: That which is Inferiour, is as that which is Superiour; and that which is Superiour is as that which is Inferiour, for the accomplishing of the Mira∣cies of one thing. And as all things were from One, by the Mediation of One; so all things have proceeded from this one thing by adap∣tion: the Father thereof is the Sun; and the Mother thereof the Moon; The Wind carried it in its Belly: the Nurse thereof is the Earth: This is the Father of all the perfection of the whole World: the Virtue thereof is intire, if it be turned in∣to Earth. Thou shalt sepa∣rate the Earth from the fire, the subtil from the thick, sweetly with a great deal of Judgment. It ascends from the Earth up to Heaven, and again descends down to the Earth, and receives the Pow∣ers of Superiours, and In∣feriours: So thou hast the Glory of the whole World. Therefore let all obscurity fly from thee. This is the strong fortitude of the whole fortitude, because it shall

overcome every thing that is subtile, and penetrate every solid thing, as the World is created. Hence shall won∣derful Adaptations be, whereof this is the manner; wherefore I am called Her∣mes Trismegistus, having three parts of the Phyloso∣phy of the whole World. It is compleat, what I have spoken of the operation of the Sun.
