the _Tartar_ will dissolve, receive it in a Glass, the body of _Saturn_ remains in the Bag, take it out, and calcine it in a reverberating Furnace three days and nights, with a great heat, as is taught elsewhere, then extract the Salt out, as is taught in the Mineral Book. You may make projection with the Salt, and coagulate your _Tartar_ again, it will be as good or better than it was, likewise take your _Salt Armoniac_ out of the Head, it is good again, and if you could have no _Salt Armoniac_, then take three pound of calcined _Tartar_, likewise so clarified, that it leave no _Faeces_ behind, you then need no _Salt Armoniac_, therewith may you likewise extract the _Mercury_ out of _Luna_ and _Jupiter_, wherewith you may do wonders, as is taught in the Miner. Book, where is spoken of the Quintessence of Metals. Now my Child must know, that this _Mercury_ or Quintessence of _Saturn_ is as good in all works as the _Mercury_ of _Sol_, they are both alike good, and herein all Philosophers agree. My Child, take this _Mercury_ of _Saturn_, so drawn out of the Receiver, put it into a Glass Box. I have now taught you to make two sorts of the Water of Paradise; and know, my Child, that the first way is the best; though it be made with some danger, longer time, and more charge; for the Vinegar is all good, yet the red Oil is the best; its time is alike unto the end, and though it be more tedious before you obtain the red Oil, yet it fixes it self in a short time, if it come to the Matter or fix'd Stone, into a simple Essence in greater redness; but when the _Mercury_ comes to the fix'd stone, it holds on a long time in ascending and descending before it die, and when it is quite dead, it makes the red fix'd Stone again into a fixt colour, so covering the red stone with its coldness, that the red stone becomes white again, then must you boil it again gently with a small Fire, till it begin to be yellow, prosecuting the Fire from one degree to another, as the Colour is higher and stronger, and that so long till it attain to a perfect redness, which requires a long time before it be done, which is not requisite in the red Oil; for the red Oil dies or coagulates forthwith the stone, the one fixing it self with the other into a simple Essence, in a short time. Therefore I tell thee, my Child, that the time of the Oyl is alike long in the end, though it appear to be of a shorter time with the _Mercury_, but it is equally long at the end of the Work, therefore I tell you the Art of both Works, that you may the better understand the Art to make the Oyl from the innermost Nature of the Stone, which is found afterwards. The Oyl was unknown to the Ancients, for my Grandfather with his Companions found it with great labour and length of time.
