Which when this Subtile (and
Likewise Foolish) Grill understood,
he would not be known to Knottterus,
whether he had used the
Spirit of Salt, or not; but thenceforth
attempted to learn of him
the Art how to make it; yet some
time being Elapsed, the worthy
Knottnerus had for got what Spirit
of salt (for he was expert in
various kinds thereof) he had given

the same to mind so suddenly: in
the mean while, he and his Family
were visited with the Pestilence
and dyed: the other falling into
the Water was drowned. After
the death of these two, none
could find out the way of either of
their Operations.
Certainly here is cause of Admiration,
that the Internal Nature
of Lead, by the simple maturation
of Spirit of Salt, should appear
in an external form so noble.
No less admirable and wonderful
to the mind is this, viz. that the
mirifick Stone of Philosophers can
so exceeding swiftly transmute
Metals; having virtue potentially
insited in it self, so as it is deduced
into Art, as in Iron by contact
of the Magnet. But touching
These enough for the Sons of Art.
