Helvetius, John Frederick

ALSO,
To the most Noble, most Excellent,
and most Experienc'd, and
Accurate Searchers into the

D. JOHN CASPARUS FAUSIUS,
Counsellor, and Chief Physician
of the most Serene Elector Palatine
of HEIDELBERG.
AND
D. CHRISTIAN MENTZELIUS,
Principal Physician in the Court
of the most Serene Elector of
BRANDENBURG:
My Reverend Patrons, and intire
Friends.


The Epistle
DEDICATORY:

Most Noble, most Excellent, most
Expert, and most Accurate Inspectors
of the Vulcanian Anatomy,
and my most real
FRIENDS.

Although I neither was willing,
nor able to be wanting to my
honoured Friends, yet would not
divulge and bring to light the Verity
of the Spagirick Art, but by this most
precious, and Miraculous Arcanum,
which I not only saw with these Eyes,
but taking a little of the transmutatory
powder, I myself also transmuted
an Impure Mass of Lead volatile
in the Fire, into fixed Gold, constantly
sustaining every Examen of Fire:
in such wise, as henceforth it can no
more be suspected by any Man, no not
by those, who unto this day have
perswaded themselves and others, that
this Arcanum is given to no man:
but contrarily we were fully and indubitately
perswaded, that, in things
of Nature, The Mercury of Philosophers
is Primo-material, and is like
a Fountain overflowing with wonderfull
Effects, and those escaping every
acuteness, and Light of Human reprehensible
Reason, as shall be evidenced
in this my little work: which I was
willing to dedicate and consecrate to
you, my Primary Patrons, as to most
prudent Masters, and Defenders.
