"Behold, in Saturn a Gold lies enclosed (…). Just so man lies now, after his fall, in a great, formless, bestial, dead likeness (…) He is like the coarse stone in Saturn (…) the outer body is a stinking cadaver, because it still lives in poison."

"[N]ature dissolves and joins itself, sublimes and lifts itself up, and grows white, being separated from the feces. And in such a sublimation the more subtile, pure, and essential parts are conjoined; for that with the fiery nature or property lifts up the subtile parts, it separates always the more pure, leaving the grosser at the bottom.
