Book of Truth and the Philosophers — 1664 German MS

be the beginning. However, because the middle
is entirely darkened by the end, that is
man, the image of God original: "imago Gottis", who is a special
philosopher and monarch. Thus nature is accustomed
to show him especially in its book, the "Path of Light" original: "Lia Lucis", likely "Via Lucis",
which is a key over his high ways.
To this belong steps, but how such an
exceeding Harmonie harmony shall be
handled is the beginning of the
union original: "adunatz", to thicken the mineral nature,
the inward
blossom of life, or the forms,
or the Sun is mentioned.
Understand, however, it is the Earth
which is streaked with the light blossom.
Because this Earth is to be brought into
the work original: "Arde", likely "Arbeit" in an animal-like way,

are those who say: "I desire to be dissolved and"
"to be with Christ" original: "Cupio dissolvi et esse cum Christo". Also the
"Great Monarch of Wisdom" original: "magus Monarcha sophia" of Paracelsi Paracelsus
has power, and other herbs
are animal-like steps. There is
therefore a distinction between the Vegetab-
lisch vegetable and animalisch animal, like
a piece of wood that has been beaten out and
burned, and in the extinguishing, the coals
remained glowing.
For the mineral Medicamenta medicaments
are so artfully performed in their magisteria master-works,
and brought into their small
Essentiae essences and wandering,
and finally brought [to pass].
