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

all miraculous / origins?, ap: Timon study / who without doubt [by] potentiality in themselves contain? [they] perfect the exhausted same form beyond others corruptible, and generable, [it] would exist in itself: which indeed form, by motion / preparing? maximally to order the priorities of modes? [it] will be, now of the accidentals to that form substantiated [they] would precede, [they] would deposit [it] to the act of deduction, and manifestation, also? the universal opinion of this age. Wherefore those, who: maximally know, [it] on account of knowing, [in] that same way proposed?, they would prepare / it will seem to them the accidental forms, or of the rejection / undeclinable? Aristotelian, to be in no way [in] things, and from them [they] will effect unique causes, and now no longer concerning the aforementioned they would marvel: but their intellect this [they] would bring cognition from efficient [cause] most scientifically, on account of their causes and effect of the said Timon study. He will be apt born to truly philosophize, [he] will be able thus [to] understand his own country and his aforementioned [things]: nor then to know which [are] the most evident causes [of] all the effects, and marvels in this greatest machine of the world greater, to the imitation of those causes, [to the] causes infinite, [to] effects in the lesser world: upon which noting [the] study / of this certainly [he] was the leader; that he himself [of] Salomon [the] most ample body, concerning the universals, and particulars of this world [he] presented, hiding in his final intention (as in the response [to] Alye [he] gave) from which I even if to that hour [I] would attain [the] desired, after my infinite labors, [to] hide it [I] would institute: Farewell well and love me, nor [deny] to me help, as I cherish you. etc.
