...''Alchemy is not only an Art or Science for teaching metallic transmutation, but it is also a true and solid science which teaches us the central core of all things and this in Divine language one calls the Spirit of Life. God infuses this Spirit among all the elements for the production, nourishment and maintenance of natural things. It is to be found at the center of all things, making a body incorruptible, permanent and fixed, able to resist all sort of changes which it will have to endure for the benefit of the diverse generations which will be hatched from its center. Alchemy then teaches us about this divine and spiritual substance in All Things; and it demonstrates by its chemical operations how to extract and separate it from the elementary entanglement and corruption, in order to free its power and virtues which are nearly infinite, and God given. {Alchemy then} merits truly the name of unique Natural philosophy since it shows the basis, the foundation and the root of all created things and it teaches the Purification and exaltation of the same; from whence comes the Metallic Transmutation of metals, the fertility of vegetables and the prolongation of life.''
