Damit ich aber folgendts beschliesse/ so will ich dir noch zur letze/ auch diß/ als ein Zugab/ mit zugeschossen haben/ das nemblich/ wann dir der Allmächtige sein gnade (in offenbarung dieser Gottseligen vnd heiligen Kunst) mitgetheilt/ du als dann dieselbige recht gebrauchen/ vnnd darzu verschwiegen sein (auch deßwegen ein festes Schloß für deinen Mundt legen/ vnd schliessen/ damit dich etwan die lautprechtigkeit oder viel mehr hoffertigkeit beydes bey Gott vnnd den Menschen in gefahr vnnd schaden auch zeitliches vnnd ewiges verderben nicht bringen möge. Darumb du dich dann wohl fürzusehen hast.

The Sophic Hydrolith: Conclusion

1619 pp. 146 · scans ER150

To conclude, I wish finally to add this further counsel: when the Almighty has imparted his grace to you by revealing this godly and holy art, use it rightly and keep silence concerning it. For this reason place and fasten a firm lock before your mouth, lest talkativeness—or rather pride—bring you into danger and harm before both God and human beings, indeed into temporal and eternal ruin. You must therefore take good heed.

Historical Text and Translation

Anonymous, Wasserstein der Weysen. Frankfurt: Lucas Jennis, 1619. The governing e-rara copy belongs to the Stiftung der Werke von C. G. Jung, Zürich (DOI 10.3931/e-rara-8968). The work is traditionally attributed to Johann Siebmacher; this remains an attribution, not a name printed in the anonymous witness. The separately sourced First and Second Responses use the 1661 Wolfenbüttel witness, qun-642-1s, pp. 200–206.
