Collection of alchemical manuscripts, c. 1760
"How bodies are reduced to the first matter so that generation or multiplication occurs in them
What is the true matter and composition of the Elixir and the true Philosopher’s Stone. A true and proven composition.
There are three stones upon which the whole magistery depends: the mineral, the vegetable (i.e., the plant-based), and the animal, triple in essence and one in effect. There are also three waters, namely the solar, lunar, and mercurial. The mineral is mercury and sulfur, which takes on two colors, white and red. The animal is the sun, which takes on three constitutions, white, red, and black, and is called the great and small stone. The water is conjoined with it, making one perfect water.
Clearly, all things are purified, but all things also contain the necessary impurity, which, when removed, brings them back to the first matter."
