Medicine of the First Order
Medicines which being cast upon imperfect Bodies take not away their Corruption or Imperfection but only give Tincture which in Examination flies away and vanishes
Every preparation of Minerals which projected upon the imperfect Bodies impresses upon them an Alteration, but induces not a sufficient Complement; yet the altered Body is thereby changed and Corrupted with the total vanishing of the Medicine, and all its Impressions which changes with a mutation not durable by diminishing it self by Exhalation or Evaporation
Medicine of the Second Order
Medicines which being cast upon Imperfect Bodies tinge them in examination with a true Tincture but take not away wholly their Corruption
Every preparation which being projected upon Bodies diminished from perfection alters them to some certain degrees of perfection, wholly leaving other degrees of Corruption as is the Calcination of Bodies by which all that is fugitive is burnt away and Consumed, and of this Order are the Medicines Tinging Luna perpetually yellow, or perpetually dealbating Venus, leaving other differences of Corruption in them
That which does indeed perfect imperfect Bodies with one only difference of perfection but seeing there are many causes of Corruption in every of the imperfect Bodies as in Saturn a Volatile Sulphureity fugitive Argent Vive and its Terrestreity: therefore Medicines of this second Order are such as can only remove one of them or covering it adorn the same leaving behind it all the other causes of Imperfection
Medicine of the Third Order
Medicines which being cast upon Imperfect Bodies not only perfectly tinge them but also take away all their Corruption and Impurities making them incorrupt and perfect
Every preparation which when it is projected upon Bodies takes away all Corruption and perfects them with all the differences or signs of perfection, a twofold Medicine Solar and Lunar yet but one in Essence and which have but one way in Operating
The Medicine of this Third Order is not diverse in Essence from the Medicines of the second Order, but only in respect of Degrees, as being more subtilized, and exalted to a much higher degree of Purity, Tincture, and Fixity, in the making and preparation thereof, with a long continued course of Labour
