Epistola de lapide philosophorum (Letter on the Philosopher's Stone, 1559)

This [seems to be] coagulation

further? maximally? in gold? maximally? of ferment?, if he wants? that? it is allowed? that the stone? widely known? by us? to be wretched?? It seems to no one that these bodies themselves [are] their own species by preparing the matter to a difference alone, and far? amongst themselves? not distant almost as if [it were] the species of true gold, and in one more than perfectly. Namely, the spirit itself by its nature desires nothing within? to return by perpetual value?. It even dwells in these truths. Truly the work, as? that just? [man] themselves? spirit, and the natural motion [being] the work, then there is in them an appetite in a part of the spirit itself, that which was from them [in] its own sphere, the same spirit itself aforementioned are seen?. It consists in the perpetual generation and common generation itself, with due instruments representing, [with] operations of which for which cause, it is not yet seen. For maximally in those great instruments they are produced, and in their place [they have] virtue, as it pleased Aristotle in 4 Physics: a way finally invariable, that [it] will not be to exit from this medium? past? from such great virtue. He holds [it] in few words.

In multiplication it is seen from the multiplication of the ferment itself [of] the spirit, the substance of the spirit is seen, as if with the same order, therefore in external things and the same to externals from it; a way something can [be] dividing kept? so that? to things [it] divides, that if it is seen, into fruit as it ought, and liberates?: Nonetheless I affirm among [each other] to me twice to the product first and near matter in any way, but [the] species of this coagulation now above concerning / below (?) here I am entirely ignorant, the aforementioned matter [is] coagulated and begins not only by my lapidification [to be] most correctly changed. Here therefore into the middle I would wish to send [the] aforementioned errors, correcting the said place of congelation from the benefits of the prepared distinctions, for above concerning / below? (?) [it is] to be seen by me with your joinings: And because [it is] now therefore truly of my spirit, its own purification and mixture it is seen which besides [it] places. And therefore two Rectos judges/guides in judgment [are] proposed against congelation, with your [and] my interpreters I have proposed; so that where from the text of Aristotle it follows the same, concerning my said things, persuading, so that descending [to] my proposition, that the intellect may repair; also [with] inclusion I ask, that he may carry me into the sight of enjoyment, especially among miraculous operations, unless fearing [things] to become [as] the aforesaid, permits [it], things from them maximally in the completed [works] not only participant, but giver, and Nuncupator the one who names/appoints: finally from the wretched to become something fruitful, if to you now I assent! [m, c, m, i]; as it seems to me I know Aristotle in his books [of] perfection he truly wrote [he] did not descend, so that that Alexander of Aphrodisias commentator on Aristotle [is] mediated by the doctrine, to have themselves saving from labor [to] possess great fruit for the sake [of it], you may wish [for] the majesty of ruling, [to] himself which into subjection maximally he had / looking back however [at] such a confection of matter [made] in [his] 4 own centuries:
