Pal.lat.1328

This letter is awe-inspiring original: "Terribilis est"; 'terribilis' here carries the medieval sense of 'awe-inspiring' or 'dreadful' in a sacred context because it is said of lead original: "plumbo"; the metal associated with the planet Saturn, often considered the starting point of the alchemical 'Great Work' that the stone was [hidden] there for 3 days. And the world exists through itself because upon it [the lead] becomes precious and is changed into metal. Let no one doubt that it is mortifiedoriginal: "mortificari"; the process of 'killing' or breaking down a substance's base form through putrefaction so it can be reborn in a higher state by the stone, because it is written: "it shall mortify, and rise again, and vivify," and through it, the whole is led forth.

It is not called "true gold" formerly, but rather "combustible," all of which is neglected because in the world of spirit it formerly deceived the distinct substance in places, being the destroyer of the stone in the demonstration of things, which comes into the vein. And where the place of the sun is called, showing that mercury was joined again to it and the spirit of the moon. He speaks of gold extracted in the world as if from... These are [present] because the substance must be removed; an abundance of water, very open, from its salt; from mercury, water. One [thing] which is called the "water of the son" and was of the vegetables referring to the vegetable kingdom mentioned on the previous page.
note note Water was upon that which remains saved, namely the sun and moon. And it is the aforementioned "water of the sun" which is mixed here with the good stone through seven [steps?]. The mixture must be stripped of its soul, and then your operation hastens.
