To the most distinguished man

Master Philip Muller, Doctor of Philosophy

and Medicine, publisher of Chemical Miracles

and Medical Mysteries, etc.

Behold your little book of Chemistry and Medicine,
PHILIP; and bring forth the refined work of your great genius.
The book is of small physical size, but if I consider
the mystical weight of its contents, it will be a grand volume.
Just as a tiny gem stands out before an immense stone,
So does this book of genius prevail over a mere Book.
Do not hesitate, I pray, to accept the praise that follows.
You are worthy to bear rewards equal to your care.
You shall indeed bear them: only bring forth these mysteries of the fire-master original: "piromas," a Greek-derived hybrid term likely referring to the alchemist as a master of fire (pyr).
To whomever you give your work, Medicine gives fame to you.
