11 “Septem Tract. hermet.,” Ars chemica, p. 22. Rosarium, p. 381: “I illumine the air with my light and warm the earth with my heat, I bring forth and nourish the things of nature, plants and stones, and with my power I take away the darkness of night, and cause day to endure in the world, and I lighten all lights with my light, even those in which there is no splendour nor greatness. For all these arc of my work, when I put upon me my garments; and those who seek me, let them make peace between me and my bride.” This is cited from the “Dicta Belini” (printed in Manget’s Bibl. chem., I, p. 478). There are variations in the text. I have quoted the passage in full because of its psychological interest.
