This is the Stone of which we mean,Who so our Writings conceiveth aright.
ANd verily he that hath well studied our Books shall understand that this general one Mercury which we call
Azoth, is indeed our Stone, which wanteth only digestion, for it is inseparably united, not in a Dyptative Conjunction, which is barely a mixture of the Sun with our Mercury; or Triptative, which is a mix∣ture and union of the Body, Soul, and Spirit, which is before Putrefaction; but Tetraptive, which is the Anatization of qualities, which is the first degree of the white Stone, which will then grow higher and higher, till the Moon come up to the full.
