Which if you begin to read in the Center, the sense will be thus. From the first Ens, proceed two Contraries; from thence the three Principles; from them the four Elements; from which, if you separate the pure from the impure, you obtain the Quintessence, which is an Universal Medicine.
About the Circle of the second Figure. The Salt of Metals, is the Stone of the Philosophers.
Without side the Square in the Circle. And bring it unto Maturity.
Within side the same Square. The four Elements.
In the four Angles of the Square. Fire, Air, Water, Earth.
Without side the Triangle. The three Principles.
Within the three Angles. Salt, Sulphur, Mercury. And the Volatile, make fixt.
Within the Circle of the Triangle. Dissolve, Coagulate.
Within the Central Circle. The primum Mobile.
To understand the Scope of those two Figures, you are to begin with the first, in the Center, and next read the Center of the second, for they answer one another in all their Parts. As in the Center of the first Figure are these words: The first Ens. Which in the Center of the second is, The primum Mobile. And so on to all the other parts.
