PREFACE.

By Apodictic Demonstrations Apodictic refers to a proof that is necessary and logically certain, leaving no room for doubt.. Concerning the mysteries of the SEPTENARY [the number seven], see chapter 10, book 2 of On Occult Philosophy by H. C. Agrippa Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa (1486–1535) was a highly influential German physician and theologian whose works on "Occult Philosophy" were foundational to Renaissance magic and alchemy.. n. 26? original Hebrew: יהוה (YHWH), the Tetragrammaton or the sacred four-letter name of God.

That the admirable STONE of the Philosophers original: "LAPIS Philosophorum", the wonderful STONE of the Wise, exists in the Nature of Things original: "Rerum NATVRA" is sufficiently demonstrated and proven upon infallible and diamond-hard foundations in the Third Figure of my AMPHITHEATER OF ETERNAL WISDOM, etc. Referring to Khunrath’s own Amphitheatrum Sapientiae Aeternae (1595), specifically a complex circular engraving that summarizes his alchemical philosophy.

And the number seven is by no means a number of lies—as the father of all lies A traditional reference to the Devil., through his lying mouths, blasphemously claims: "he who speaks of seven likes to lie." On the contrary, it is (according to the teaching of the Spirit of all Truth, found both in the Holy Bible and in the book of the "Great World" The Macrocosm or the universe at large., as well as in **GOD-**given natural writing) a holy number, a steadfast truth full of Divine mysteries and natural secrets. It is this truth that the desperate Arch-Blasphemer, through his recently mentioned mockery and slanderous words, seeks to cast into wicked suspicion.
