I Nicholas Flamel a scrivener of Paris in the year 1414 in the reign of our gracious Prince Charles the VIth whom God preserve; and after the death of my faithful partner Perenelle am seized with a desire and a delight in remembrance of her and in your behalf dear nephew to write out the whole magistery of the secret of the Powder of Projection or the Philosophical Tincture which God hath willed to impart to his very insignificant servant and which I have found out as thou also wilt find out in working as I shall declare unto you. And for this cause do not forget to pray to God to bestow on thee the understanding of the reason of the truth of nature which thou wilt see in this book wherein I have written the secrets word for word sheet by sheet and also as I have done and wrought with thy dear aunt Perenelle whom I very much regret. Take heed before thou workest to seek the right way as a man of understanding. The reason of nature is Mercury Sun and Moon as I have said in my book in which are those figures which thou seest under the arches of the Innocents at Paris. But I erred greatly upwards of 23 years and a half in labouring without being able to marry the Moon that is quicksilver to the Sun and to extract from them the seminal dung which is a deadly poison; for I was then ignorant of the agent or medium in order to fortify the Mercury: for without this agent Mercury is as common water.
