Philosophy reformed & improved in four profound tractates.: The I. discovering the great and deep mysteries of nature: by that learned chymist & physitian Osw: Crollivs. The other III. discovering the wonderfull mysteries of the creation by Paracelsvs: being his philosophy to the Athenians. / Both made English by H. Pinnell, for the increase of learning and true knowledge.

CROLLIUS.

TWo things are seen within this Volumn small the great and the lesse Worlds Originall, Here may man see as in a glasse his shape by which he may corruption quite escape. The Author was divinely taught that writ, so likewise was he that translated it. Here may be seen, what nature is and grace. what God his back parts are, and what his face. Here is both heaven and earth in Harmony, a cure to ease us of our vanity. The true Elixir's here, the stone that doth transmute the outward and the inward both: And make all heavenly like to Chrystall fine, yea like to Christ the prototype divine. What is above is likewise here below, as this Anatomy of man doth show. The man in all the parts of him consists of what the Macrocosme composed is. The World it selfe's a man, though great and big, and Man himselfe's a World; do but here dig, A treasure will appear more worth then all, by which be may be ransom'd from his fall.

The Physick then that is of Use to man, but he that is Divine prescribe none Can; He too that is of Nature quite unskild, 'the man hath the world with dark error fild: Both were conjoynd in one of God at first, in One againe they shall be found at last. Nature, grace, physick and Divinity, so returning to their first unity: God blessed for Ever, whence is all Good, which Devils and wicked men alone withstood.
