Sulfur is hot and dry, while Mercury is cold and moist; but the Sun, through its heat and power, unites the 🜍 symbol for sulfur sulfur with the Mercury, from which gold, silver, lead, and copper are then generated. Depending on how the ores original: Mineren; the raw mineral deposits in the earth. lie and whether the earth is good or bad, the metals are generated accordingly. However, it is the Sun that must "cook" everything; and it cooks the metals better in one place than in another because it shines hotter in one location than in another, since one landscape is more temperate original: temperirter; referring to the alchemical balance of qualities (hot, cold, wet, dry). than another, which is determined by the planets under which a land is situated. In a place where the Sun shines so hotly, it cannot cook moderately enough on account of the great heat, but it is nevertheless cooked in the end. Conversely, where the Sun shines too coldly, the cooking there is slow and tedious original: langweilig; in this period, it means a long duration or a drawn-out process rather than "boring."; but where the Sun shines temperately—that is, neither too hot nor too cold—and is under a good planet (meaning a well-tempered land with good earth), there it is cooked moderately and generated into gold or silver. In such a manner it also behaves with Salmiac A shortened form of Sal Ammoniac.: it must unite, bind, mix, and equalize all contrary things through its temperate heat. For where the Salarmeniac is too hot, it will cook all the longer; if it is too cold, it will also cook that much longer; but if it is well
