On the inside of things
Within things is a pure, igneous, sulfuric, incombustible substance which, when fixed, could be called the Light of Nature; for it is the shine and form of all metals, illuminating and perfecting all bodies.
This internal salt has a force that changes the form, coloring and penetrating them. This force penetrates all metals, forms them radically, unites with them indissolubly and, under the species of a Tingeante Stone, transforms them into another metal. The very diamonds are melted like water by this salt.
This salt is the real Sulfur Balm.
The process described in this passage is double-barreled, depending on whether one considers elementary alchemy or mystical alchemy.
In the center of the metallic ashes is an extraordinarily pure salt, like a limpid crystal, which liquefies very easily when it has reached its most extreme degree of purification; in him resides the incorruptible power to bestow perfection and all possible growth. This force cannot be destroyed by the consuming fire, nor dissolved by the cold of the dissolving water, because it is animated and moved by its own spirit, and it is reinstated in: its original state. This salt is found in the creatures of the subterranean realm of a particular fixity and penetration.
This is why salt, among all peoples and in all religions, is considered sacred.
