O blessed founder of the Earth, whiter than snow, sweeter than sweetness, more penetrating than a balm at the bottom of a vase!

Sequence of the holy Gospel : according to the intonation Ave prae clara , let it be sung; I want it to be called a testament to the Art, because all the chemical Art is concealed in these metaphorical words, and blessed is he who will understand this sequence.

Hail, O scintillating lucifer of heaven, radiant light of the world; that here, united with the Moon, is the martial union, and then the conjunction of Mercury. That, above all, from these three, by the narrow bed of the river, is born this strong giant, that thousands of thousands, all seek with the magisterium of Art: that they themselves are dissolved, not in rainwater , for, by it, our gum is never amended; but, in mercurial water, let them be resolved, so that our blessed gum, dissolved by it, then bears the name of the Philosophers' sperm.

Now the Lightbearer asks to be a husband, to be betrothed to the virgin bride, and to impregnate her in the bath by the temperance of fire. But the virgin is not suddenly impregnated if she is not granted a kiss by frequent embraces. SO, in the womb, the happy embryo is conceived, and it is thus procreated, and this by the order of Nature.

Then, at the bottom of the vase, will appear the Ethiopian fort, consumed, calcined, discolored of its color, and dead to its heart, deprived of life; he then asks to be buried, and to be raised by his temper, and to be gently calcined, until, by the force of the fire, he appears more than white. But often, he takes a beverage beforehand, which is why he rises entirely towards the ether, whereas, by himself, he is thus already well washed in the perseverance of the fire. Now he is at last made agreeable, reborn from his own sweat, and his body, previously darkened, becomes purified by ablution.
