The third part of the Mineral Work By Jean Rudolphe Glauber 1659
On the Book of Paracelsus, called the Philosopher's Heaven, or the Book of Vexations, in which the transmutations of Metals are taught, with an appendix relating to melting, separation, and other necessary operations.
'The Holy Spirit is the true Doctor who has been accustomed to reveal the secrets to us if we pray to him properly.
Where did Paracelsus draw his great insights from Philosophy, Alchemy, and Medicine?
No doubt it was the Father of lights and truths, which every day makes us see his full power by such generosity.
They are therefore deprived of reason, who say that nothing can be added to the perfection which we have, as if God had his hands closed to favor the feeling of these stunned men.
If we knew God well, nature would not be unknown to us. But because man by natural infirmity loves darkness, it is not surprising that he only gropes, and strays from the right path. There are many secrets that will one day be revealed.
And we must not believe that God is suffering any longer the abomination that is in the world.
The day is past, and the night approaches, which must begin the punishment of the wicked.
Happy are those who make friends of unjust wealth, and who follow the will of God by discovering the wonders of nature to his glory.
Woe to those who make their God of riches, and who strive to suppress the glory of God and the wonders of nature, here I finish this Appendix of the Mineral Work that I have brought to light for the good of the neighbor and for the glory of God.'
