Regarding the same: the white water of lime original: "lyme aqua candida" is to be extracted through the lime; act until it dissolves the same power of the white powder original: "pulvis canditatis" through the window original: "ser finestra", then to be moistened again. Let the water distill, which is here as a middle decoction. In this it remains: in this the whole is from the same water in the furnace. It suffices for the water you wish, namely so that it becomes stable. Act in such a way that it dissolves the same; when dissolved, move its eighth part as a middle, and the same lime is finished.

And if the water be of urine, use it so that you take what you wish with the virtue, namely by joining it to the life-giving force, so that it may see six at the bottom. Afterwards, strain it into another vessel gradually so that it does not go out from the dregs when united, then leave it in the other vessel if any dregs remain in it.
