To prepare the divine water original: "aqua divina", let it be made while the congealed substance is dissolved.
Cinnabar original: "cinnabaris", if it is a red rust original: "rubigda", is augmented and fixed into the pearl-essence original: "margarica"; likely referring to a white, purified crystalline form.
Its pearl-essence is advanced through a stone of emerald original: "lapidis smaragdi"
xemneolū?. By the metal original: "metallum" it is for ten parts, which is a red rust.
As it is red, all these things are made with the water which is a powder through ttands?.
It is for a long time not pae? but through two or ten [parts] in a red stone which
is prepared in the same way by the labor of the water and the dissolved [material].
The rest of the metal original: "metallum" is made clear through distilled water.
The congealed substance is extracted, and for three [parts] which are distilled from the water, let it be
composed. The congealed substance itself is done in the same way for the red state
which is from the wine. Then the art of heating is used for
the water twice, for this [substance] is used with the water ten times or thirty times according to the
original water. Then let it be in a tall glass vessel original: "ampulla" for eight
hundred [measures] and fixed. Its pearl-essence.
Its pearl-essence is taken from the dregs original: "amurca" and evīg? with letters tōr? which are decanted
in a saffron color original: "croceus" equally. The red rust original: "rubigda" is ten parts. Another
red rust for all... the metal original: "metallum" is washed. It is in ten parts...
over ten toward tave? cycles. Through the heat of the metal, it is held
in a glass vessel for ye fuvu?. It is put back when it was in the cold
from this water.

Secondly, the [substances] are prepared through fifteen parts in the ip̅oer?.
This is from the pure distilled water original: "aqua pura distillata". It is made which is inhumed inhumatedA process of burying a vessel in warm earth or dung to provide gentle, steady heat for digestion. in
clear water, as much as [is needed] with white water and let it be distilled.

Then another white [substance] is made in the opening of the jar in the ip̅oer?.
In the same way, let it be distilled or abnerey? which is not...
until it is at the fire or [the substance] is bound in the ip̅oer? until it
shines white and is congealed in the manner of salt. Then toward the same ray
of the medium water, it is always distilled in the ip̅oer? and until it is washed,
evaporated, and dissolved through the sweetness of the ābz? then from the example to the
[substance] which is congealed equally. That which is for five [parts] is fixed.

Thus as above, in one [vessel] there is vhie? of the hairs original: "pilis" with the pounding of the
vingadū?. Now it is congealed. Now it is dissolved by all these things which
are as a red water, dissolved with these congealings and made into a
red rust original: "rubigda". It has five parts of metal and thirty fvt?. And the pearl-essence.

Another of its pearl-essences is clearly [made] which is seen and vutiradī? in the [substances]

of bronze. This [is done] with golden letters and the [substances] or all. It is augmented with
