Part Three.

If we then could bring about such lightning bolts here below through saltpeter, and knew how to present to such lightning its proper $\nabla$ water/solvent and air to work upon, truly, it would not fail: we would be able to make golden rains just like the heavenly Jupiter. The purer the Jupiter and the clearer the air, the purer the rain that falls, and the more powerful the air that is filled or impregnated with the universal life-spirit. He who is so skilled that he can separate the life from the animated air and water will attain a true Aurum Potabile potable gold or Animam Mundi soul of the world, and particular things will also fall away from it, so that he could earn an honest living through it; of which enough for this time. He who does not understand what is already placed so clearly before his eyes here would not be helped even if all the gods were present in person and taught him orally. My friends will shortly see with their own eyes and grasp with their hands such operations and others like them in my laboratory (if God wills it), and they will know how to confess the truth before all the world and sufficiently defend my truthful writings.

I must still indicate this for good measure, and as a farewell: namely, that the Astrum Auri star/essence of Gold willingly and most fondly colors its own ☿ mercury, specifically the Primi entis of the first essence. The Astrum star/essence of ♄ Saturn colors the ☽ Moon/Silver. The Astrum of ♃ Jupiter colors common mercury.
