and_o may_v hinder_v the_o easy_a slide_n of_o those_o body_n along_o one_o another_o and_o beside_o that_o diverse_a other_o affection_n of_o a_o fluid_a body_n can_v well_o belong_v to_o a_o aggregate_v of_o gross_a lump_n of_o matter_n beside_o these_o thing_n i_o say_v the_o bulk_n itself_o be_v apt_a to_o make_v they_o so_o heavy_a that_o they_o can_v be_v agitate_a by_o the_o power_n of_o those_o cause_n whatever_o they_o be_v that_o make_v the_o minute_n part_n of_o fluid_a body_n move_v so_o free_o up_o and_o down_o among_o themselves_o whereas_o it_o will_v scarce_o be_v

bottom_n of_o aqua_fw-la regis_fw-la or_o any_o other_o such_o liquor_n yet_o when_o the_o menstruum_fw-la have_v corrode_v they_o or_o fret_v they_o asunder_o into_o very_a minute_n part_n those_o minute_n corpuscle_n grow_v then_o so_o much_o more_o capable_a of_o agitation_n than_o before_o that_o quit_v the_o bottom_n of_o the_o liquor_n they_o be_v carry_v free_o every_o way_n and_o to_o the_o top_n with_o the_o associate_v part_n of_o the_o liquor_n without_o fall_v back_o again_o to_o the_o bottom_n nay_o we_o see_v that_o ponderous_a and_o mineral_n body_n divide_v into_o

at_o the_o first_o or_o second_o distillation_n bring_v over_o gold_n enough_o to_o make_v the_o distil_a liquor_n appear_v and_o continue_v ennoble_v with_o a_o golden_a colour_n and_o to_o show_v yet_o more_o particular_o that_o great_a body_n be_v too_o unwieldy_a to_o constitute_v fluid_a one_o we_o may_v further_o observe_v how_o as_o well_o nature_n as_o art_n when_o either_o of_o they_o
