Lumen de Lumine

To conclude: I say the grand Supream Mysterie of Magic, is to multiplie the Prester, and place him in the moyst serene Aether, which God hath purposely created to qualifie the fire. For I would have thee know, that this spirit may be so chaf’d, and that in the most temperat Bodies, as to undoe thee upon a suddain. This thou mayst guesse thy selfe by the χρυσοκεραυνὸς, or thundering Gold, as the Chymist cals it. Place him then as God hath plac’d the stars, in the condens’d Aether of his Chaos, for there he will shine not burne, he will be vital and Calm, not furious and Choleric. This secret I confesse, transcends the Common processe, and I dare tell thee no more of it. It must remaine then as a Light in a Dark place, but how it may be discovered, doe thou Consider.
