He Who Thinks Half-heartedly Will Not Believe

To Arrive At The Simplest Truth Requires Years Of Contemplation.

If You Are Affronted It Is Better To Pass It By In Silence, Or With A Jest, Though With Some Dishonor, Than To Endeavor Revenge. If You Can Keep Reason Above Passion, That And Watchfulness Will Be Your Best Defenders.

In The Absence Of Any Other Proof, The Thumb Alone Would Convince Me Of God's Existence.

Thus You May Multiply Each Stone 4 Times & No More For They Will Then Become Oyles Shining In Ye Dark And Fit For Magicall Uses. You May Ferment Them With Gold And Silver, By Keeping The Stone And Metal In Fusion Together For A Day, & Then Project Upon Metalls. This Is The Multiplication Of Ye Stone In Vertue. To Multiply It In Weight Ad To It Of Ye First Gold Whether Philosophic Or Vulgar.

I Feign No Hypotheses.
