The Chemical Basilica or Alchemical Royal Jewel

an inner angel, and light of nature, which instructs man like a right and true Doctor. Just as the Holy Spirit gifted the apostles with fiery tongues. It is confirmed by practice and brought to the light and rests not upon human [thought], but solely in God's instruction and nature. For it is not founded upon human poetry, but upon nature, which God has imprinted upon the creatures and especially the perfect metals with his holy finger. And thus, God the Almighty himself is its right and true foundation.
b Medicine is a grace given by God, the foundation of which is not academic books, but an invisible mercy of God and a gift.

Therefore, the right and true medicine is nothing other than a created and bodily mercy, given by God the Heavenly Father to poor and needy mortal men, so that the sick person may visibly see and perceive the great love, mercy, and help toward him, and therefore praise God in his miracles.
c This natural essence is called Aurum gold in medicine.

This true medicine and kernel of nature, however, rests in the vital sulfur as in the treasure of all nature, and is founded in the balsam of vegetables, minerals, and animals or creatures, to which we ascribe the works in nature. For through the power of this alone, all cures of all and every infirmity can be accomplished, when they are (as shall be mentioned shortly hereafter) duly præpariert prepared, cleansed of all impurity, and rightly applied to the weakened human nature by a pious and learned Medico physician.

The foundation and basis of this medicine is how much the little world, that is, man, corresponds with the great and outer world, as we are sufficiently instructed through Astronomiä astronomy and Philosophiam philosophy, which explain both Globos globes, namely the upper and lower. Regarding Philosophiam philosophy, it teaches the powers and properties of the earth and water, just as Astronomia astronomy teaches the firmament together with the air. Philosophia philosophy and Astronomia astronomy make an inner and perfect Philosophum philosopher, not only in the great but also in the little world. And one must therefore accommodate and align the disposition of the great world, as the father or generator, to the little one, as the son, and properly compare the Anatomi anatomy of the great with the little. The outer world is the theoretical anatomy and, as it were, a mirror in which the little one, that is, man, is seen, since the physician cannot see from man himself his wonderful and excellent structure and creation, as much as he needs to. They do not agree in outer form or bodily substance, but in all powers and virtues. For just as the great is, so is the little in its essence and inner [nature] the same, and they are only distinguished from one another by their outer appearance. And this is revealed to us by the light of Chiromantiam palmistry and Physiognomiam physiognomy.

e Without knowledge of the light of nature or the great world, no Medicus physician can rightly understand diseases and their cures.
