there_o any_o other_o water_n which_o can_v dissolve_v the_o body_n but_o that_o which_o abide_v with_o they_o in_o matter_n and_o form_n nay_o it_o can_v be_v permanent_a except_o it_o be_v of_o

and_o that_o the_o body_n be_v now_o pierce_v and_o mortify_v therefore_o in_o the_o putrefaction_n in_o this_o water_n there_o first_o appear_v blackness_n like_v unto_o the_o broth_n wherein_o

that_o the_o eye_n black_a this_o only_a thing_n be_v our_o mastery_n dissolve_v then_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o moon_n in_o our_o dissolve_v water_n which_o be_v familiar_a friendly_a and_o of_o the_o

will_v meet_v and_o follow_v one_o another_o putrify_v themselves_o engender_v themselves_o and_o make_v one_o another_o rejoice_v because_o nature_n be_v govern_v by_o nature_n which_o be_v near_a
