Text

[sig. I3v] Jn Tincturas Basilii Valentini, à Iohannes Tholdio Senatore Franckenhvsano editas.

Diuini quod inest rebus, natura recessis
Arcano occuluit, materiæque sinu.
Inde fatigatur studio multoque labore
Mens Sophiam tentans cruere ê tenebris.
Arctam compagem, modò corporis arte resoluit,
Et modò coniungit rite soluta prius.
Hæc uia fit facilis Sophiæ ad penetralia nobis,
Tholde tuo studio, sed duce Basilio.
Per te Basilius uiuit, uiuesq́ue per illum,
Tholde mori nescis, nescit & ille mori.

On the Tinctures of Basilius Valentinus, published by Johannes Thölde, senator of Frankenhausen.

What is divine within things, nature has hidden in the recesses and the bosom of matter, with its secret withdrawn. From there, the mind, weary from study and much labor, attempts to draw forth Wisdom from the darkness. It now dissolves the tight structure with the art of the body, and now rightly joins what was previously separated. This path becomes easy for us to the inner sanctum of Wisdom, thanks to your efforts, Thölde, but with Basilius as the guide. Through you Basilius lives, and through him, you will live; Thölde, you do not know how to die, nor does he know how to die.
