have_v the_o like_a nature_n as_o honey_n which_o in_o its_o analysis_n more_o easy_o be_v apparent_a i_o oft_o have_v with_o a_o clean_a linen_n gather_v the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o top_n of_o

bee_n out_o of_o the_o fall_a dew_n by_o a_o peculiar_a ferment_a virtue_n do_v real_o transmute_v what_o they_o suck_v into_o honey_n also_o that_o flower_n within_o th●m_n contain_v a_o ●erment_n by_o which_o the_o dew_n that_o fall_v in_o they_o be_v invert_v into_o a_o thick_a substance_n and_o sweet_a yet_o formal_o distinguish_v from_o honey_n which_o the_o bee_n allure_v both_o by_o the_o

transmute_v into_o wax_n with_o a_o formal_a transmutation_n for_o as_o much_o as_o wax_v

formal_o differ_v from_o all_o fatness_n in_o the_o world_n so_o then_o the_o dew_n which_o be_v collect_v from_o any_o flower_n will_v scarce_o yield_v a_o twenty_o part_n of_o caput_fw-la mortuum_fw-la be_v by_o the_o bee_n suck_v and_o dige_v into_o honey_n than_o if_o distil_v will_v yield_v near_o a_o three_o part_n in_o a_o coal_n and_o the_o liquor_n that_o distil_v will_v be_v

gather_v that_o anise_v in_o all_o probability_n will_v perform_v what_o be_v promise_v of_o it_o in_o regard_n of_o its_o fragrant_a scent_n which_o be_v so_o acceptable_a to_o that_o work_a insect_n for_o i_o remember_v when_o once_o upon_o a_o experiment_n i_o be_v digest_v a_o thing_n w●th_v oil_n of_o anise_a seed_n in_o the_o sun_n near_o a_o orchard_n in_o which_o be_v many_o hive_n the_o
