Lumen de Lumine

When you have discovered the Mountaine, the first Miracle that will appeare, is this. A most vehement, and very great wind, that will shake the Mountaine, and shatter the Rocks to peeces. You shall be incounter'd also by Lions and Dragons, and other Terrible Beasts, but feare not any of these things. Be resolute, and take heed that you returne not, for your Guide who brought you thither, will not suffer any Evill to befall you. As for the Treasure, it is not yet discovered, but it is very neer. After this wind will come an Earthquake, that will overthrow those things, which the wind hath left, and make all Flat. But be sure that you fall not off. The Earthquake being past, there shall follow a Fire, that will consume the Earthly Rubbish, and discover the Treasure, but as yet you cannot see it. After all these things, and neer the Day-break there shall be a great Calm, and you shall see the Day-star arise, and the Dawning will appeare, and you shall perceive a great Treasure. The Chiefest thing in it, and the most perfect, is a certain exalted Tincture, with which the world (if it served God, and were worthy of such Gifts) might be tinged, and turn'd into most pure Gold.
