''First, you must learn Digestions, Distillations, Sublimations, Reverberations, Extractions, Solutions, Coagulations, Fermentations, and Fixations; and you must also know what Instruments are required for use in this Work; as Glasses, Cucurbits, Circulatory Vessels, Vessels of Hermes, Earthen Vessels, Balneums, Wind Fornaces , Fornaces of Reverberation, and other such like: as also a Marble, Mortars, Coals, etc. So may you at length proceed in the Work of Alchimy, and Medicine. But as long as you shall by PHANTASIE and Opinion adhere to feigned Books, you will be apt for, and Predestined to none of these.''
