Yeah...I've seen worse Japanese-English fail though.

I mean, the actual text would be very correct for an alchemist, with the peacock and the green lion and stuff like that. The actual art and textbooks for alchemy have psychotic imagery and symbolism behind them--this actually shows a lot of research done on their part. :) I know exactly what that passage means from an alchemical standpoint. <3

The only thing that's off is the "then you shall Order, itself" unless those lines were behind a thumb or something.

Yeah, the bottom right corner was cut off by the edge of the screen. The problem is that this isn't an alchemical thing, it's a document of state certification.
