CHAPTER VII.
Of the Separation and Further Treatment of our Philosophical Seed.
The Putrefaction of our subject being thus completed, it exists under two forms;
the moisture which was extracted, and the residuum, being our Philosophical
Earth. The water contains its seminal virtue, and the earth is a proper receptacle,
wherein it may fructify. Let the water, then, be separated and kept for use;
calcine the earth, for an impurity adheres to it which can only be taken away
by fire, and that, too, of the strongest degree; for here there is no danger
of destroying the seminal quality, and our earth must be highly purified before
it can ripen the seed. This is what Sendivogius means when he says: Burn the
sulphur till it becomes Sulphur incombustible. Many lose in the preparation
what is of most use in the art; for our mercury is corrected (healed) by the
sulphur, else it would be of no use. Let, therefore, the earthy part be well
calcined, and return the mercury on the calcined earth; afterwards draw it off
by distillation; then calcine, cohere, and distill, repeating the process till
the mercury is well corrected by the sulphur, and the sulphur is purified to
a whiteness, and goes on to red, a sign of its complete purification, where
you have the Philosophical Male and Female ready for conjunction.
This must now be managed with judgment, as the noble child may be yet strangled
in the birth; but all things are easy to an ingenious artist, who knows the
proportion of mixture required and accommodates his operations to the intention
of Nature, for which purpose we shall faithfully conduct him according to our
ability.
