Book of Truth and the Philosophers — 1664 German MS

Because the Sun symbolized by ☉ as the father is always active in a rising and astral way, the birth is prepared. The ears are born with it. Therefore God willed that in this work, he does not live for himself. Even if the mouth is or would be born from the child, which child has stabbed or saved the mother, it is a child born from that. This mother remains the Virgin Earth original: "Terra Virginea"; in alchemy, the purified or original matter. The other child is begotten of Mercury symbolized by ☿ or white holy substance. This comes from the fire as a dangerous salvation, becoming as eternal as it is mortal hereafter. And even if the mouth is born from a discharge after birth, or from the Abuse original: "abusu" or Desert Water original: "aqua Deserta", it is still the Father of all Perfection original: "pater - omnes Teles...".

The Telesmi perfection or completion of the work is a treasure of the whole world, reached through meditation. It comes to us from the contemplation of the One. This number or ring which is held is God and His Grace. It makes 21 spirits over God.

Chapter 7

How magnificent are Your works, O Lord! You have made them all in wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions. original: "Quam magnificata sunt Opera tua dne omnia in Sapientia fecisti impleta est terra possessiene tua."; a citation of Psalm 104:24

Because the father of all Alchemy original: "Alchymi" or the father of all treasures of the world leads toward the preparation of his work, the whole of alchemy is gathered together. But Mary and Martha likely referring to the biblical sisters as allegories for the active and contemplative lives spoke about several things concerning the commands they carried. This shall not be diminished until one finds joy in it.
