_Of the fruit of the Art, and efficacie of the Stone._
_So shalt thou haue the glorie of the whole worlde._ That is, this
stone thus compounded, thou shalt possesse the glorie of this world.
_Therefore all obscuritie shall flie from thee_: that is, all want and
sicknesse, because the stone thus made, cureth euerie disease. _Here is
the mightie power of all power._ For there is no comparison of other
powers of this world, to the power of the stone. _For it shall ouercome
euery subtil thing, and shall pearce through euery solide thing._
It shall ouercome, that is, by ouercomming, it shall conuert quicke
_Mercury_, that is subtile, congealing it: and it shall pearce through
other hard, solide, and compact bodies.
