Lumen de Lumine

THis is that Emblematicall Magicall Type, which Thalia delivered to me in the invisible Guiana. The first and Superior part of it represents the Mountains of the Moon. The Philosophers commonly call them the Mountains of India, on whose Tops grows their secret and famous Lunaria. It is an Herb easie to be found, but that men are blind, for it discovers it self, and shines after night like Pearle. The Earth of these Mountains is very red and soft beyond all Expression. It is full of Chrystalline Rocks, which the Philosophers call their Glasse, and their Stone: Birds and Fish (say they) bring it to them. Of these Mountains speaks Haly the Arabian, a most excellent judicious Author.
