By reason of its abounding _Sulphur_, which is therein; for I find no fluxibleness or fusibleness in any thing saving in _Sulphur_, _Mercury_ and _Arsenick_, and all these three are in _Saturn_; so that _Saturn_ is quickly fluxible, but all these three are cleansed with it from their uncleanness. And do you not know, that the Philosophers call their Stone _Arsenick_, and a white thing; and they say their _Sulphur_ is incombustible; they call it likewise a red thing, all this is _Saturn_, in it is _Arsenick_; for _Luna_ is principally generated of a white _Sulphur_, as is plainly taught in the Book of _Sulphurs_, and all _Arsenick_ is internally red as Bloud, if its inward part be brought outwards, as is demonstrated in the Book of Colours, _&c._ _Saturn_ stands almost in the degree of fix'd _Luna_. So that in it there is a red Sulphur, as you see, when its internal is placed outwards, it will be red as a Ruby; there are no Colours but in the Spirits, so that there is in it a red and a yellow Sulphur. In it is _Mercury_, as may be seen, for _Mercury_ is extracted out of _Saturn_ in a short time, and with little labour. So that all three are in _Saturn_, but they are not fix'd therein, but they are clean, pure, incombustible, fluxible as Wax; in it are all things which the Philosophers have mentioned. They say, our Stone is made of a stinking menstruous thing: What think you, is not _Saturn_ digg'd out of a stinking Earth? for divers are killed with the ill Sents and Vapours where _Saturn_ is digg'd, or they live not long who labour in that stinking black Mine, whence _Saturn_ is digg'd. And the Philosophers say, our Stone is of little value, being unprepared; they say, the poor have it as well as the rich, and they say true; for there are not poorer or more miserable people to be found than those which dig and work _Saturn_ in the Mine; and they say it is to be found in all Towns and places, wheresoever you come _Saturn_ is there. They say it is a black thing: What think you, is it not black? They say, it is a dry water, if Gold or _Luna_ be to be refined upon the test, must it not be done with _Saturn_? they must be wash'd and tried with it, as a foul garment is made clean with Sope. They say, in our Stone are the four Elements, and they say true; for the four Elements may be separated out of _Saturn_. They say, our Stone consists of Soul, Spirit and Body, and these three become one. They say true; when it is made fix'd for the white _Mercury_ and Sulphur with its Earth, then these three are one. Whereby is to be observed, that the Philosophers have said true; they concealed its Name for the ignorants sake, who are not their Children, to keep them still in their Ignorance. Thus, my Child, the Ancients took care to conceal the name of the Stone; now let us return to our purpose.
