Harmony or Consensus of the Chemical Philosophers

To have put to flight, explaining the riddles of the enigmas,
And untying the knots more difficult than the Gordian a legendary intricate knot.
You wish to indicate how great the power of genius is,
And how much sharpness, with a candid heart you wish
To benefit all, and to harm no one.
You wish that the little book, of which you wish to be the author,
Might itself be a patron, which flourishes in its own art,
And with faith protects the scepter of the Celtic land.
Distinguished man, live, DAVID O LAIGNEE,
Vessel worthy of praise, Harmony, go, worthy praise
Of the worthy, live through the mouths of the preeminent
Flying men. And long be worthy, hail. For
You are strength worthy of praise, since you are greatly worthy strength.

I am only as much as my own,
BYETUS.
