On the Philadelphian Gold

"On the Philadelphian Gold" is a late 17th century tract originally produced by the Philadelphian Society- a mystic and philosophical school of sorts. The content herein is partially philosophy, partially alchemical. Regarding alchemy it theorizes the spiritual existence of perfected matter. It is written in the form of dialogue between Philochrysus and Philadelphus, whose conversation eventually uses several religious premises to prove its content.
