The gem paragraph unexpectedly states that the world is situated in the two stages of tincture and coagulation. The edition retains mundum rather than silently conjecturing a word for the work or operation. The unusual printed reading is significant precisely because a smoother, silently substituted formulation would change what the supplied Latin witness actually says.
