    The extract gives an anecdote of some 'ladies in Dublin who met at each other's houses to read and converse upon the Scriptures'. When they read Mal. 3. 2–3, they 'had some discussion respecting the method of purifying the precious metals'. One of the ladies visited a silversmith to ask for details, which are related and spiritualized.
