On the Separations of the Elements from Metals.
"Take salt nitre, vitriol, and alum, in equal parts, which you will distil into aqua tortis. Pour this water again on its faeces, and distil it again in glass. In this aqua fortis clarify silver, and afterwards dissolve in it sal ammoniac.
Having done this, take a metal reduced into thin plates in the same way,
that is, in the same water. Afterwards separate it by the balneum Manse,
pour it on again, and repeat this until there be found at the bottom an oil, namely, from the Sun, or gold, of a light red colour ; of the Moon, a light blue ; of Mars, red and very dark ; of Mercury, white ; of Saturn, livid and leaden ; of Venus, bright green ; and of Jupiter, yellow. All metals are not thus reduced to an oil, except those which have been previously prepared. For instance. Mercury must be sublimated ; Saturn calcined ; Venus florified ; Iron must be reduced to a crocus ; Jupiter must be reverberated ; but the Sun and Moon easily yield themselves. All metals are not thus reduced to an oil, except those which have been previously prepared. For instance. Mercury must be sublimated ; Saturn calcined ; Venus florified ; Iron must be reduced to a crocus ; Jupiter must be reverberated ; but the Sun and Moon easily yield themselves. earth and fire. For from the cold and the moisture is produced the substance and corporality of the Moon, which is, indeed, of a fixed nature, and cannot be elevated. From Mercury there remains fire at the bottom, and earth and water are elevated upwards. From Venus there also remains fire, and both, that is to say, earth and water, remain in the bath. From Saturn there remains the element of earth at the bottom, while fire and water are held in the bath. From Jupiter air remains at the bottom, while fire, water, and earth are elevated therefrom.

What this guy is saying make any sense chemically?

Mostly mumbo jumbo.

The recipe at the beginning can be to some extent correct (that is, assuming we know what are all the mentioned substances and how to understand the procedure).
