## Summary

Alchymy is a Science, and Art of destroying, of purging immature or unripe and impure Metals, by Fire and Salt, and by a singular Artifice, of converting the more pure part into a better form and kind, according to the words of _Paracelsus_, who saith, _Every Something is to be converted into Nothing, and every Nothing into Something_. Also Corruption renders that which is good perfect, the which is to be equally understood of particular and universal Operations.
