_Of the coagulation of the Stone dissolued._
Some among the learned haue said, Congeale in a bath with a good
congelation as I haue tolde thee, and this is Sulphur shining in
darknesse, a red Hiasinth, a firy & deadly poyson, the Elixir that
abideth vppon none, a victorious Lion, a malefactor, a sharpe sworde,
a precious Triacle, healing euery infirmitie. And _Geber_ the sonne of
_Hayen_ sayd, that all the operations of this masterie are contained
vnder sixe things: to put to flight, to melt, to incerate, to make as
white as Marble, to dissolue and congeale. That putting to flight, is
to driue away and remoue blacknesse, from the spirit and soule: the
melting is the liquefaction of the body: to incerate belongeth properly
to the body, and is the subtiliation thereof: to whiten, is properly
to melt speedily: to congeale, is to congeale the body with the soule
alreadie prepared. Againe, flight appertaineth to the body and soule:
to melt, whiten, incerate, and dissolue, belong vnto the body, and
congelation to the soule. Bee wise and vnderstand.
