Philosophical Discourse · Passage 15
German
Alle vollkommne Medicin liegt warhafftig in der neuen Geburth / daß einige Curen geschehen durch rohe Dinge / ist darumb / daß das Centrum in vielen Dingen so hart nicht verschlossen / sondern der Archæus im Menschen / wenn er noch starck / leicht das gute vom Bösen scheiden kan / auch einige Præparationes dem operi sophico gar nah verwandt / so werden gute Dinge / particulariter und specificè (aber nicht universaliter) ausgericht.
English
All perfect medicine truly lies in rebirth. Some cures occur through crude things because the centre is not so tightly closed in many things, and the Archaeus in the human being, while still strong, can easily separate the good from the bad. Some preparations are also closely related to the sophic work; thus good things are accomplished particularly and specifically, though not universally.
