Simyevi Yeşil Bahçe

Vulcan alone is, in this worldly economy, the provider and keeper of almost all secrets. Without him, we would never have learned the separations and preparations of metals, we would never have perceived the resolution of all things into their three principles, we would never have recognized the true generation and transplantation of things, we would never have explained the origin of diseases and their remedies, and to speak concisely, we would never have seen anything true, but would have grasped at the empty shadows of things for the things themselves. We ought, therefore, deservedly to offer immense thanks to God, the thrice greatest and best, for such a huge gift, and we must embrace this precious treasure and promote it to our descendants. For with this torch leading the way, we shall not wander in the darkness; supported by this staff, we shall not fall on a slippery path, nor shall we swear anymore by anyone's long-winded words and empty phantasms, but by following the guidance of nature, we shall examine everything by the balance of reason and fire-related experience. We shall greedily seize the true, we shall cast away the false, and by beholding the inexhaustible abysses of Nature and the immense miracles in this amphitheater of the whole Universe, we shall be excited to sing praises and glory to the Creator.
