Dritter Theil. Third Part

I, and undoubtedly many others, have done much useless work therein before they came to the right way. For in a common Distillation, the pearl becomes mixed with the yarn, or the mother passes over with the daughter, which is not suitable for the Great Work, except that a lovely particular Medicin a specific medicinal preparation can indeed be prepared from it, of which has been treated in the Second and Third Part of my Pharmac. Spag. Pharmacopoeia Spagyrica. In such a Distillation, one should not expect the beautiful appearance. But if one wants to see the mother, wrap the yarn, together with the little child, in clean linen swaddling clothes, which have previously been washed through the fire, and place it all together in a glass bath or sweating room. Stoke it gradually until the yarn, together with the pearl, sweats well in the chamber. Maintain the fire as long as sweat still passes over, which sweat is a good Particular Medicin to drive away all internal heat of the body therewith, and also thereby to cool the always-hot Mercurium Mercury.

After the sweat bath is done, break the glass sweating room and search for your pearl; you will find it roasted together with the yarn because of the heat. It is not attractive, yet it has become more mature, from which something useful comes particulariter in particular. But the sweating chamber will be adorned with incomparably beautiful colors from the smell and sweat of the pearl, indeed more beautiful than a peacock's tail.
