In the morning, place it back under the muffle, and continue with this for 36 days (that is, one month and 6 days).

Take 🜍 vivi native sulphur and Salzburg Salis Armoniaci sal ammoniac ana in equal parts, such as 1/2 ounce; Salis Nitri saltpeter twice as much, such as 3 ounces. The resolution through this powder has a profound foundation in Chymia chemistry.

Another process with our matter.

Take 1 pound of our matter, 1 pound of ☿ mercury. (NB: If our matter does not want to be brought over well with these parts, one must add more parts). Place both, well ground together, into a luted retort; lay it in the cupels; on the bottom of the cupels, there should be sand two
