Text.Penot.1595-01.K3v/Translation
From Theatrum Paracelsicum
An Epigram to the Author
He who desires to be skilled in the medical art, and to know the sacred mysteries of the alchemical choir, let him read this, let him read this again: thus, many enigmas will he unfold, and he will escape harmful deceits: thus with gold, silver, fixed, and fluid metal, the power given to bodies for healing he will learn: and hence, as a Physician, Chemist, searcher of the stone, both the sick and the seeker will reap hope, and richer rewards than their wishes. And many things which he sought with much vain effort, he will owe to your learned endeavor, O skilled Penot.
