This tinges one part, 1000 parts of raw mercury quicksilver into good ☽ silver. Now in the last transformation, keep the water in constant heat, so the tincture becomes blood-red at the bottom, like scarlet, and is thus prepared, and is a treasure above all treasures in this world, and thus the tincture in one vessel or cucurbit distillation vessel is perfected everywhere with all circumstances of colors. It dissolves itself, it draws itself into the hidden, it lifts itself up, and sinks into the hidden as an instrument.

Of this tincture, take one part, let it tinge 1000 parts of flowing ☾ gold onto one lot, one quint, or half a quint; apply the tincture thereto, let it go for a while for half an hour, let it cool; that is all tincture, rub it to powder, and keep it in a boxwood box for need. Of this take one part, let it tinge 1000 parts of ☾ gold, ♃ tin, or ♀ copper flowing for half a quarter of an hour, especially when the mercurius quicksilver begins to smoke; these metals will become the best, most malleable gold, stable in all tests, and this gold makes other unmalleable gold very malleable.
