An Explanation of the Natural Philosophers Tincture

This short manuscript is an interesting work that combines Von Suchten's Theophrastus-derived observations about natural and chemical processes, with a fairly religiously involved metaphoric veil. Through the process here, the materials of alchemy are made. As a fairly typical work of alchemical lore, the metaphor must first be understood, but Von Suchten helpfully explains some of the basic chemical processes used in layman's terms.
