First Part

...the father of all perfection of the whole world; its power is complete when you transform the earth. You shall separate the earth from the fire, and the subtle from the gross, most * gently, with great skill. It ascends from the earth to heaven, and descends again from heaven to the earth, and thus receives the power of the things above and the things below. In this way, you will have the glory of the whole world; therefore, all sorrow, poverty, and contempt shall flee from you. This is the strongest strength of all strengths, for it overcomes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid body. Thus was the world created, and from this, wonderful things are wrought, for which this is the model. And for this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus Meaning "Hermes the Thrice-Greatest," a legendary figure representing the fusion of the Greek god Hermes and the Egyptian god Thoth, credited with the authorship of the Hermetic corpus., because I possess the three parts of the wisdom of the whole world. And thus is completed what I have said concerning the work or operation of the Sun.

From this it is as clear as day original: "Sonnen-klar," literally "sun-clear." that what is said regarding the Philosopher's Stone The legendary substance capable of turning base metals into gold and providing the Elixir of Life. is no fable. He who still will not believe that a stone of such powers can be made, let him read Flammel Nicolas Flammel (c. 1330–1418), a French scrivener whose posthumous reputation as a successful alchemist was cemented by stories of his sudden, vast wealth.; then he will see how many ** churches and hospitals he built and endowed from such a Stone, also providing them with magnificent and sufficient revenues.
