    Vade Mecum On Increase On Power & Weight

    The document provides instructions for increasing the weight and power of the philosopher's stone through repeated additions of mercury and drying/congealing processes over the course of a month. It states that one part of the resulting third-order stone will then be able to tinge a thousand parts. It also describes multiplying the stone by joining it with 3-4 parts mercury, passing it through regimens with fire in a sealed vessel, which will exponentially increase its tincturing power with each repetition over shorter periods of time.

    VADE MECUM ON INCREASE ON POWER & WEIGHT

    I know that many authors do take fermentation in this work for the internal invisible
    agent, which they call ferment, by whose virtue the fugitive and subtile spirit, without
    laying on of hands, are of theirown accord thickened; and our aforementioned way of
    fermentation they call cibation with bread and milk [sol and mercury], but I know as well
    as they, have followed my own judgement in my writings.
    There is then another operation, by which our stone is increased in weight more than
    virtue. Take of thy sulphur, white or red [this is the completed stone], and to three parts of
    the sulphur, add a forth of the water [our mercury], and after a little blackness, in six or
    seven days decoction, thy water newly added shall be increased or thickened, like unto
    thy sulphur.
    [Note how the adept does his best to hide his secret, by calling the stone
    sulphur, and his mercury water.]
    Then add another fourth part, not in
    respect of the whole compound, which is now increased a fourth part by the
    first imbibition, but in reference to thy first sulphur, as thou tookest it
    at first, which being dried, add another fourth part, and let it be
    congealed with a convenient fire. Then put in two parts of the water in
    reference to the three parts of the sulphur, which thou tookest at first,
    before the first imbibition and in this proportion, imbibe and congeal three other times. At
    last add five parts of water in the seventh imbibition, still remembering to reckon the
    water in reference to the sulphur as it was taken at first.
    [This deliberate manner of writing is done to confuse, and usually succeeds.]
    Seal thy vessel, and in a fire like to the former, make thy compound pass through all the
    aforesaid regimens, which will be done in one month, and then thou hast the true stone of
    the third order; of which one part will fall on a thousand, and tinge perfectly.
    (All the above was written in one sentence, but has been separated and punctuated as clearly as
    possible.)

    ON MULTIPLICATION OF THE STONE


    To the multiplication of the Stone, is required no labour, save only that thou take the
    stone, being perfect, and join it with three parts or at the most four parts of mercury of our
    first work, and govern it with a due fire, in a vessel well closed, so that all the regimens
    pass with infinite pleasure, and thou shalt have the whole increased a thousand fold
    beyond what it was before the multiplication of it. And if thou shalt reiterate this work
    again, in three days thou shalt run through all the regimens, and thy medicine shall be
    exalted to another millenary virtue of tincture; and if thou shalt yet reiterate the work, it
    will be perfected in a natural day, and all the regimens shall pass-which will be done
    afterwards with another reiteration in an hour, nor shalt thou at last be able to find the
    extent of the virtue of thy stone; it shall be so great that it shall pass thy ingenuity to
    reckon it, if thou shalt proceed in the work of reiterate multiplication. Now remember to
    render immortal thanks to God, for thou has now the whole treasure in thy possession.
