Look, here lies the right use of true Philosophia (philosophy) and all its associated arts. Thus, the divine Magus does wonders in the light of nature, and the false Magus does wonders in the soot found by the devil, which is unnecessary to mention further for the children of wickedness in nature.

This, although it is so volatile at first that it is the greatest poison, can be used by the understanding artist (though with much trouble, care, and danger) to create the highest Medicin (medicine). Many who have not known the power of our Subiectorum (subjects) have been found dead through carelessness and oversight during this operation, for if the vessel breaks at this time, even if 100,000 people were in the same room, they would all be dead in an instant.
