Est certè, magna vis & necessitas SPAGIRICÆ
PRÆPARATIONIS debitæ LAPIDUM aliorúmq;
materialium! in HAC enim corpora eorum solvun-

xia corriguntur, mitigantur, tolluntur; spiritus vicissim
coagulantur & corporei redduntur; illæsis virtutibus
& Naturis Medicamentorú, morborum curatricibus;
original: "There is certainly great power and necessity in the proper Spagyric PREPARATION of stones and other materials! For in this, their bodies are dissolved and rendered spiritual; the impure are separated; the harmful are corrected, mitigated, and removed; the spirits are in turn coagulated and rendered corporeal; without injury to the virtues and Natures of the medicines that cure diseases."

That is / It is truly a great power in the right Spagiric alchemical/medicinal chemistry preparation of stones and other materials; yes, it also requires high necessity! Since in the same, their bodies are dissolved and made spiritual; the impurities are separated; what is harmful is dampened / mitigated / and taken away; the spirits are also again hardened and made corporeal / without injury to the natures and virtues of the medicines / which cure the diseases.
