                               The Cup.

   Let the Philosophus take a rod of copper, of length eight inches and

   Let him fashion about the top a triple flame of gold.
   Let him by his understanding and ingenium devise a Deed to represent the

 and armed, he is similar to the goddess."
   And again, "I am armed, I am armed."
