Per Lineam rectum, Circulumque, Prima, Simplicissimaque fuit Rerum, tum, non existentium, tum in Naturæ latentium Inuolocris, in Lucem Productio, representatioque.

The first and most simple manifestation and representation of things, non-existent as well as latent in the folds of Nature, happened by means of straight line and circle.

It is by the straight line and the circle that the first and most simple example and representation of all things may be demonstrated, whether such things be either non-existent or merely hidden under Nature's veils.

Durch die gerade Linie und den Kreis wurde im Licht die erste einfache Abbildung und Darstellung der Dinge bewirkt, auch der nicht-existenten und unter den Schleiern der Natur verborgenen.

By means of the straight line and the circle, the first and simplest production and representation of things was made in the light, as were non-existent things and those that are hidden behind the veil of Nature.

At nec fine Recta, Circulus; nec fine Puncto, Recta artificiose fieri potest. Puncti proinde, Monadisque ratione, Res, & esse cœperut primo: Et quæ peripheria sunt affectæ, (quantaecumque fuerint) Centralis Puncti nullo modo carere possunt Ministerio.

Yet the circle cannot be artificially produced without the straight line, or the straight line without the point. Hence, things first began to be by way of a point, and a monad. And things related to the periphery (however big they may be) can in no way exist without the aid of the central point.

Neither the circle without the line, nor the line without the point, can be artificially produced. It is, therefore, by virtue of the point and the Monad that all things commence to emerge in principle.

That which is affected at the periphery, however large it may be, cannot in any way lack the support of the central point.

The circle without a straight line cannot be artificially created, nor a straight line without a point. Consequently, everything, properly, began from the point and the monad. And whatever is strived for by the periphery of the circle, no matter how big it is, can in no way succeed without the ministry of the central point.

Dodecatemorii Arietis, omnibus est notissima, quae est in Astronomorum usu (quasi Acioaedes, Acuminataque) figura ista: Ut et ab hoc caeli loco, Triplicitatis Ignae, notari Exordium constat. Ad ignis ergo ministerium (in huius Praxi MONADIS) requiri significandum, Arietis adiecimus Astronomicam notam. Sicque Breviter, nostrae MONADIS, Unam absoluimus Considerationem Hieroglyphicam: quam sic volumus, unico Contextu Hierglyphico proferri.

MONADIS ISTIUS, LUNA ET SOL, SUA SEPARARI VOLUNT ELEMENTA, IN QUIBUS DENARIA VIGEBIT PROPORTIO; IDQUE IGNIS FIERI MINISTERIO.

The (almost dagger-like [?] and pointed) symbol of the zodiacal division of Aries, as it is used by the astronomers, is very well known to all, and also is it well known that from this place in the heavens the beginning of the fiery triplicity is counted. We have added [in the symbol of our monad] the astronomical sign of Aries, therefore, to signify that (in the practice of this monad) the aid of fire is required. And so we have briefly brought to a conclusion one way of hieroglyphically considering our monad, which we want to be put forth only in a hieroglyphical context, as [here] follows:

THE SUN AND THE MOON OF THIS MONAD DESIRE THEIR ELEMENTS, IN WHICH
THE DENARIAN PROPORTION WILL BE STRONG, TO BE SEPARATED, AND THAT THIS BE DONE WITH THE AID OF FIRE.

Theorem X

The following figure of the zodiacal sign Aries , in use amongst the astronomers, is the same for all the world (a sort of erection both cutting and pointed), and it is understood that it indicates the origin of the fiery triplicity in that part of the sky.
Therefore, we have added the astronomical sign Aries to signify that in the practice of this Monad the use of fire is required.
We finish the brief hieroglyphic consideration of our Monad, which we would sum up in one only hieroglyphic context:

The Sun and the Moon of this Monad desire that the Elements in which the tenth proportion will flower, shall be separated, and this is done by the application of Fire.

Das Tierkreiszeichen Widder, das jedem bekannt ist, hat nach dem Brauch der Astronomen folgende etwas scharfe und spitz Form: [usual astrological glyph for Aries] , die an dieser Stelle des Himmels den Anfang des feurigen Trigons manifestiert. Aus diesem Grunde haben wir das astronomische Zeichen Widder hinzugefügt um damit anzudeuten, daß bei der praktischen Anwenung dieser Monas die Hilfe des Feuers erforderlich ist. Damit haben wir eine kurze Besprechung unserer hieroglyphischen Monas vollendet, die wir wie folgt in einem einzigen hieroglyphischen Satz zusammenfassen wollen: MOND UND SONNE DIESER MONAS WOLLEN, DASS IHRE ELEMENTE, IN DENEN DAS VERHÄLTNIS DER ZEHN HERRSCHT,GETRENNT WERDEN, WAS MIT HILFE DES FEUERS GESCHIEHT.

Theorem X

The sign of the zodiacal Aries, which is very well known to everyone, has, according to the custom of astronomers, this (rather sharp-edged and pointed) form: . And it is well known that from this place in the heavens, it manifests the beginning of the fiery triplicity. For this reason, we have added the astronomical sign of Aries in order to signify, that (in the practical use of this MONAD), the ministry of fire is required. And thus we have briefly completed one hieroglyphic consideration of our MONAD, which we want to express in a singular hieroglyphic construction as follows:

THE MOON AND SUN OF OUR MONAD DESIRE THEIR ELEMENTS, IN WHICH THE DENARIAN PROPORTION WILL RULE, TO BE SEPARATED, AND THIS IS TO BE DONE WITH THE MINISTRY OF FIRE.
