and that there was One among [these?]
[?] which led to the [sublime?] Knowledge,
& was the general [?] of all Nature &
which the [Divinity {underscored}] had been pleased to give

Being once in Possession of it
the Riches of the World were of no Value;
as there was no earthly Treasure could
bepart in Comparison with it as no
Wealth could put a Stop to the Infini:
:ties of human Nature: nor can we carry
them with us to the Grave.- But
whoever is in Possession of the Key
keeps Death at a Distance: & all the
Apprehensions of the Miseries of this Life
are taken always - He has Wealth
at his Command: & no Treasures are
wanting - Sickness [ink blot] before him
when he holds the [golden Key {underscored}] of
this [Mysterious Lock {underscored}]

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
