- É um erro confundir alquimia com química. Química moderna é uma ciência que lida apenas com as formas externas em que o elemento da matéria está a manifestar-se. Nunca produz nada de novo. Podemos misturar e composto e decompor dois ou mais corpos química um número ilimitado de times, e os fará aparecer sob diversas formas diferentes, mas no final não teremos aumento da substância, nem nada mais do que as combinações das substâncias que Foram empregadas no início. Alquimia não misturar ou composto, que provoca algo que já existe em um estado latente para se tornar ativo e crescer. Alquimia é, portanto, mais comparável a botânica ou agricultura do que a química; e, na verdade, o crescimento de uma planta, uma árvore, ou um animal é um processo alquímico acontecer no laboratório alquímico da natureza, e realizado pelo grande Alquimista, o poder de Deus agindo na natureza.
- - It is a mistake to confound Alchemy with Chemistry. Modern Chemistry is a science which deals merely with the external forms in which the element of matter is manifesting itself. It never produces anything new. We may mix and compound and decompose two or more chemical bodies an unlimited number of times, and cause them to appear under various different forms, but at the end we will have no augmentation of substance, nor anything more than the combinations of the substances that have been employed at the beginning. Alchemy does not mix or compound anything, it causes that which already exists in a latent state to become active and grow. Alchemy is, therefore, more comparable to botany or agriculture than to Chemistry; and, in fact, the growth of a plant, a tree, or an animal is an alchemical process going on in the alchemical laboratory of nature, and performed by the great Alchemist, the power of God acting in nature.
