Discourse on the Universal · Passage 8
German
Mache dieses zum rothen Saltz / Grab 🜍 ☉ vel ☽ 🜍 ein vor ein Schmaltz / So hastu ein Pflaster / Heilet die metallischen Laster / Das ist der geschwind durch den [Sign: drei Punkte im dreilappigen Rund] geht / In welchen ⊖ und △ bestehet In welchen Quadrant und Triangel besteht Bekommstu diesen Punct fixum / so hast du es gar / Kommst aus Armuth und Gefahr.
English
Make this into the red salt; Bury sulphur of Sun or sulphur of Moon to make a salve. Then you have a plaster That heals metallic defects; It passes swiftly through the [three-dot sign], In which salt and fire subsist, In which square and triangle subsist. Obtain this fixed point and you have it all: You escape poverty and danger.
