33. But when the Body of Sol will no longer endure the fire, but goes away in smoak, then we can say it is truly dead and no more Sol.
34. He that finds difficulty to believe this, let him reade Paracelsus, Sendivogius and other Philosophers.
35. Sendivogius saith, Our Steel, that is, our Magnet, can draw from the Rayes of the Sun, what many have sought for and not found; if this our Magnet copulate eleven times with Sol, the Sol becomes weakned almost to death, and the Steel or Magnet shall conceive and bring forth a Son more illustrious than his Father.
36. From which words it appears that Sendivogius had the Art to disanimate Sol, else could never have writ so plainly concerning it.
37. It is certain also that there are some, that at this time can do as much within a few hours, I having lately been an Eye-witness of the same, with three other persons in company.
38. It is not necessary to say any more how this cheap and speedy way of disanimating Sol is to be performed; forasmuch as all the Philosophers writings are full of it.
39. However to pleasure the unskilfull I will add thus much, that this may be done four several ways.
40. But the easiest and cheapest way is by means of Spirit of Wine, and a microcosmical saline Spirit; yea this extraction may be performed by a Spirit of Wine alone, without any animal Spirit, or by an animal saline Spirit without the Spirit of Wine.
41. If this were not so, we might have reason to accuse both ancient and modern Philosophers of falshood, who tells us that Adam brought the Philosophers Stone with him out of Paradise, and after his death took it with him into his Grave.
42. Which words may seem strange to some, forasmuch as he was driven bare and naked out of Paradise.
