1) Tis true without lying, certain and most true. 2) That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like yet which is below to do ye miracles of one only thing. 3) And as all things have been and arose from one by ye mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation. 4) The Sun is its father, the moon its mother 5) The wind hath carried it in its belly, the Earth its course. 6) The father of all perfection in ye whole world is here. 7) Its force or power is entire if it be converted into Earth. 8) Separate thou ye Earth from ye fire, ye subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry. 9) It ascends from ye Earth to ye heaven and again it descends to ye earth and receives ye force of things superior and inferior. 10) By this means you shall have ye glory of ye whole world and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you. 11) Its force is above all force. for it vanquishes every subtle thing & penetrates every solid thing. 11a) So was ye world created. 12) From this are and do come admirable adaptations whereof ye means (Or process) is here in this. 13) Hence I am called Hermes Trismegistus, having the three parts of ye philosophy of ye whole world. 14) That which I have said of ye operation of ye Sun is accomplished and ended. [Dobbs 1988: 183-4.]
