A Naturall Chymicall Symbolum Or a short confession of Henry Kunwrath

A part of the small of the 'The Short Confession of Khunrath'

I Doctor Kunwrath through Divine wisdomme have written thys
the 12 of December about the houre of 8 in the Evening Anno Dm 1597.

Instigated
By the allpowerfull spirit.
Praise you the Lord, Praise you the Lord.
Praise you they Lord.
Defiance be to the Devill.
Amen.

The wise have considered but Fooles have not regarded
therefore are iustly despised of Wisdome and her Children.
He yt can understand let him understand.
It is difficult & hard to teach fooles understanding.
And he yt is unwise let him leame; if not hold his peace.


A Philosophical1 short songe
of the incorporating of the Spirit of the Lord in Salt [Gen: 1,2 moved on ye face of ye waters.]

Spirit Divine, blest be thy state,                    [Ruach elohim Gen: 1,2.]
That art in Salt incorporate
And in the Worlds true virgin wombe           [in Earth voyde & empty
A pure Quintessence art becornrne.                Wisd: 1,7, Gen: 1,2.]
Lord have mercy upon us.

Gods wondrous eternal power,
Man in this world may discover,
Who wth the greate worlds flesh & blood,
Clad itselfe for our Eternal1 good.

Who earst the whole world didst surround,   [In ye beginning of
Now in old Chaos seede art found                   ye world not before a
Soe art become a body small                           seede of all things]
Susteyning all things naturall.
Lord have mercy upon us.

This is the greate Light of Nature
That giving the world a new Lustre
And shining in ye darksome night
To make us true Children of Light
Lord have mercy upon us.

Thou Spirit of God true God art
Yet in the world a stranger wert
Which led us out from Errors place
And made us heyres of Natures grace.
Lord have mercy upon us.

On Earth he was in meane Consort           [In a poore meane low
Us in great mercy to Comfort                     despised forme]
And make us rich in true wisdome
That like new borne Babes we become.
Lord have mercy upon us.

All this on us good God bestow
Then Lord shall we they greate workes shew
And wisdomes Babes their voyce shall raise
Singing to thy Eternal1 praise.
Lord have mercy upon us.

Reproach to the Gainsayers.

Doctor Kunwrath faciebat
23 Decembris. Anno 1597. octava vespertina.
