from which the spirit and 🜂 Fire [have been] drawn, and [if] it is sufficiently calciniret calcined, if not, then you must calcine it better in strong 🜂 Fire so that it becomes completely black or brownish-red. Pour the spirit onto this, even if it is not yet corrected, so that it goes a cross-finger's width above it in a phial. Let it stand in M.B. Balneum Mariae / water bath for several weeks until it has extracted the salt Salt and become green (NB: the green lion). Pour it off afterwards, and [put] other spirit onto it until it will no longer extract any salt Salt. Finally, pour everything together, filter it, [and] draw the spirit away from it again until it gets a skin. Then place it in a locum frigidum cold place, and elongated crystals will shoot forth like saltpeter, but not as strong; rather, quite subtle. What has not shot forth, put back into the flask, distill more spirit from it until it gets a skin again, then let it shoot forth as before, and do this so often until all the salt Salt has shot forth; thus you have also obtained the salt Salt. You must clean it well several times so that it becomes beautiful like a vitriol and quite transparent.

If you take the sleeping Adam, grind him small calcinando by calcining, and break his ribs referring to a separation of parts in the first part, pour onto him in a flask his own 🜁 Air animam ad Evam soul to Eve, so that it goes a cross-finger's width above him, then Adam will awaken, embrace Eve in a friendly manner, and in several weeks [in] the heat of love, Eve will be so inflamed with love toward Adam that she will eagerly draw his seed out of him and take it to herself. After such time, draw the
