corruption_n which_o late_a will_n never_o be_v blood_n again_o and_o some_o may_v only_o be_v metamorphose_v from_o blood_n and_o reassume_v its_o own_o colour_n again_o for_o it_o be_v as_o natural_a for_o blood_n to_o be_v red_a as_o for_o the_o sun_n to_o be_v light_n wherefore_o when_o some_o learned_a be_v of_o opinion_n that_o those_o white_a or_o yellow_a or_o black_a juice_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o vein_n of_o small_a infect_v be_v their_o blood_n they_o may_v as_o well_o say_v that_o brain_n be_v blood_n or_o that_o the_o marrow_n in_o the_o bone_n be_v blood_n or_o if_o the_o brain_n shall_v all_o be_v turn_v to_o water_n say_v that_o this_o water_n be_v brain_n which_o will_v be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o one_o shall_v call_v a_o man_n body_n turn_v to_o dust_n and_o ash_n a_o animal_n creature_n or_o a_o man_n for_o there_o be_v natural_a property_n which_o belong_v to_o every_o creature_n and_o to_o each_o particular_a part_n of_o a_o creature_n and_o so_o be_v blood_n in_o some_o animal_n a_o natural_a vital_a part_n proper_a to_o the_o conservation_n of_o its_o life_n without_o which_o it_o can_v subsist_v for_o example_n a_o young_a maid_n in_o the_o green-sickness_n when_o her_o vein_n be_v full_a of_o water_n than_o blood_n appear_v pale_a and_o be_v always_o sickly_a weak_a and_o faint_a not_o able_a to_o stir_v by_o reason_n her_o vein_n be_v full_a of_o water_n then_o blood_n but_o be_v it_o all_o water_n she_o will_v present_o die_v wherefore_o all_o juice_n be_v not_o blood_n nay_o i_o can_v believe_v as_o yet_o that_o those_o they_o call_v vein_n in_o some_o infect_v be_v vein_n much_o less_o that_o they_o contain_v blood_n and_o have_v a_o circulation_n of_o blood_n nor_o that_o their_o motion_n proceed_v from_o muscle_n nerve_n and_o tendon_n but_o this_o i_o may_v say_v that_o the_o vein_n be_v the_o proper_a and_o convenient_a vehicle_n or_o receptacle_n of_o blood_n as_o the_o head_n be_v of_o brain_n and_o the_o bone_n of_o marrow_n also_o it_o be_v as_o proper_a for_o blood_n to_o be_v red_a as_o for_o vein_n to_o contain_v blood_n for_o bone_n to_o contain_v marrow_n and_o for_o the_o head_n to_o contain_v brain_n and_o when_o they_o alter_v or_o change_v from_o their_o particular_a nature_n they_o be_v no_o more_o blood_n brain_n nor_o marrow_n wherefore_o those_o creature_n that_o have_v a_o juice_n which_o be_v not_o red_a have_v no_o blood_n and_o if_o no_o blood_n they_o have_v no_o vein_n i_o will_v not_o say_v that_o all_o those_o that_o have_v vein_n must_v of_o necessity_n have_v they_o full_a of_o blood_n for_o in_o dropsy_n as_o also_o in_o the_o green-sickness_n as_o i_o mention_v above_o they_o be_v full_a of_o water_n then_o blood_n but_o they_o must_v of_o necessity_n have_v some_o blood_n in_o their_o vein_n by_o reason_n the_o vein_n be_v the_o most_o proper_a receptacle_n for_o blood_n and_o no_o man_n can_v live_v without_o blood_n but_o when_o all_o blood_n be_v turn_v to_o water_n he_o must_v of_o necessity_n die_v 14._o of_o natural_a production_n i_o can_v wonder_v with_o those_o who_o admire_v that_o a_o creature_n which_o inhabit_v the_o air_n do_v yet_o produce_v a_o creature_n that_o for_o some_o time_n live_v in_o the_o water_n as_o a_o fish_n and_o afterward_o become_v a_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o air_n for_o this_o be_v but_o a_o production_n of_o one_o animal_n from_o another_o but_o what_o be_v more_o i_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v production_n of_o and_o from_o creature_n of_o quite_o different_a kind_n as_o for_o example_n that_o vegetable_n can_v and_o do_v breed_v animal_n and_o animal_n mineral_n and_o vegetable_n and_o so_o forth_o neither_o do_v i_o so_o much_o wonder_n at_o this_o because_o i_o observe_v that_o all_o creature_n of_o nature_n be_v produce_v but_o out_o of_o one_o matter_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o and_o that_o there_o be_v continual_a and_o perpetual_a generation_n and_o production_n in_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v perpetual_a dissolution_n but_o yet_o i_o can_v believe_v that_o some_o sort_n of_o creature_n shall_v be_v produce_v on_o a_o sudden_a by_o the_o way_n of_o transmigration_n or_o translation_n of_o part_n which_o be_v the_o most_o usual_a way_n of_o natural_a production_n for_o both_o natural_a and_o artificial_a production_n be_v perform_v by_o degree_n which_o require_v time_n and_o be_v not_o do_v in_o a_o instant_n neither_o can_v i_o believe_v that_o all_o natural_a thing_n be_v produce_v by_o the_o way_n of_o seed_n or_o egg_n for_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o variety_n of_o nature_n it_o will_v not_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o think_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v produce_v after_o one_o and_o the_o same_o manner_n or_o way_n by_o reason_n the_o figurative_a motion_n be_v too_o different_a and_o too_o diverse_o various_a to_o be_v tie_v to_o one_o way_n of_o act_v in_o all_o production_n wherefore_o as_o some_o production_n be_v do_v by_o the_o way_n of_o transmigration_n or_o translation_n of_o part_n as_o for_o example_n the_o generation_n of_o man_n and_o other_o animal_n and_o other_o by_o a_o bare_a metamorphosis_n or_o transformation_n of_o their_o own_o part_n into_o some_o other_o figure_n as_o in_o the_o generation_n of_o maggot_n out_o of_o cheese_n or_o in_o the_o production_n of_o ice_n out_o of_o water_n and_o many_o the_o like_a so_o each_o way_n have_v its_o own_o particular_a motion_n which_o no_o particular_a creature_n can_v persect_o know_v i_o have_v mention_v in_o my_o philosophical_a 2_o letter_n that_o no_o animal_n creature_n can_v be_v produce_v by_o the_o way_n of_o metamorphose_v which_o be_v a_o change_n of_o motion_n in_o the_o same_o part_n of_o matter_n but_o as_o i_o do_v also_o express_v in_o the_o same_o place_n i_o mean_v such_o animal_n which_o be_v produce_v one_o from_o another_o and_o where_o the_o production_n of_o one_o be_v not_o cause_v by_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o other_o such_o creature_n i_o say_v it_o be_v impossible_a they_o shall_v be_v produce_v by_o a_o bare_a metamorphosis_n without_o transmigration_n or_o translation_n of_o part_n from_o the_o generator_fw-la but_o such_o infect_v as_o maggot_n and_o several_a sort_n of_o worm_n and_o fly_n and_o the_o like_a which_o have_v no_o generator_n of_o their_o own_o kind_n but_o be_v breed_v out_o of_o cheese_n earth_n and_o dung_n etc._n etc._n their_o production_n be_v only_o by_o the_o way_n of_o metamorphose_v and_o not_o transslation_a of_o part_n neither_o can_v i_o believe_v as_o some_o do_v that_o the_o sun_n be_v the_o common_a generator_n of_o all_o those_o infect_v that_o be_v breed_v within_o the_o earth_n for_o there_o be_v not_o only_a production_n of_o mineral_n and_o vegetable_n but_o also_o of_o animal_n in_o the_o earth_n deep_o than_o the_o sun_n can_v reach_v and_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n can_v pierce_v no_o further_o then_o cold_a can_v which_o be_v not_o above_o two_o yard_n from_o the_o surface_n of_o the_o earth_n at_o least_o in_o our_o climate_n but_o why_o may_v not_o the_o earth_n without_o the_o help_n of_o the_o sun_n produce_v animal_n creature_n as_o well_o as_o a_o piece_n of_o cheese_n in_o a_o deep_a cellar_n where_o neither_o the_o sun_n nor_o his_o beam_n enter_v true_o i_o wonder_v man_n will_v confine_v all_o production_n to_o one_o principal_a agent_n and_o make_v the_o sun_n the_o common_a generator_n of_o all_o or_o most_o live_a infect_v and_o yet_o confess_v that_o nature_n be_v so_o full_a of_o variety_n and_o that_o the_o generation_n and_o production_n of_o infect_v be_v so_o various_a as_o not_o only_o the_o same_o kind_n of_o creature_n may_v be_v produce_v from_o several_a kind_n of_o way_n but_o the_o very_a same_o creature_n may_v produce_v several_a kind_n nevertheless_o i_o believe_v that_o natural_a creature_n be_v more_o numerous_o and_o various_o produce_v by_o dissolution_n of_o particular_n by_o the_o way_n of_o metamorphose_v then_o by_o a_o continue_a propagation_n of_o their_o own_o species_n by_o the_o way_n of_o translation_n of_o part_n and_o that_o nature_n have_v many_o more_o way_n of_o production_n then_o by_o seed_n or_o seminal_a principle_n even_o in_o vegetable_n witness_v the_o generation_n or_o production_n of_o moss_n and_o the_o like_a vegetable_n that_o grow_v on_o stone_n wall_n dead_a animal_n scull_n top_n of_o house_n etc._n etc._n so_o that_o he_o who_o do_v confine_v nature_n but_o to_o one_o way_n of_o act_v or_o move_v have_v better_a to_o deprive_v she_o of_o all_o motion_n for_o nature_n be_v infinite_a have_v also_o infinite_a way_n of_o act_v in_o her_o particular_n some_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o seed_n of_o moss_n be_v exceed_o small_a and_o light_a be_v take_v up_o and_o carry_v to_o and_o fro_o in_o
can_v neither_o be_v always_o assure_v of_o know_v the_o truth_n for_o particular_a reason_n may_v sometime_o be_v deceive_v as_o well_o as_o sense_n but_o when_o the_o perception_n both_o of_o

opinion_n of_o those_o who_o believe_v natural_a philosophy_n may_v promote_v not_o only_a anatomy_n but_o all_o other_o art_n for_o else_o they_o will_v not_o be_v worth_a the_o take_n of_o pain_n to_o learn_v they_o by_o reason_n the_o rational_a perception_n be_v beyond_o the_o sensitive_a i_o be_o also_o of_o opinion_n that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o art_n to_o preserve_v the_o exterior_a shape_n of_o some_o animal_n body_n but_o not_o their_o interior_a form_n for_o although_o their_o exterior_a shape_n even_o after_o the_o dissolution_n of_o the_o animal_n figure_n may_v be_v some_o what_o like_o the_o shape_n and_o figure_n of_o their_o body_n when_o they_o have_v the_o life_n of_o a_o animal_n yet_o they_o be_v transform_v into_o some_o other_o creature_n by_o the_o alteration_n of_o their_o interior_a figurative_a motion_n can_v no_o way_n keep_v the_o same_o interior_a figure_n which_o they_o have_v when_o they_o be_v live_v animal_n concern_v the_o preserve_n of_o blood_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o spirit_n of_o wine_n as_o some_o do_v probable_o believe_v my_o opinion_n be_v that_o spirit_n of_o wine_n otherwise_o call_v hot-water_n if_o take_v in_o great_a quantity_n will_v rather_o dry_v up_o or_o putrify_v the_o blood_n then_o preserve_v it_o nay_o not_o only_o the_o blood_n but_o also_o the_o more_o solid_a part_n of_o a_o animal_n body_n insomuch_o as_o it_o will_v cause_v a_o total_a dissolution_n of_o the_o animal_n figure_n and_o some_o animal_n creature_n that_o have_v blood_n will_v be_v dissolve_v in_o wine_n which_o yet_o be_v not_o so_o strong_a as_o extract_n or_o spirit_n of_o wine_n but_o blood_n mingle_v with_o spirit_n of_o wine_n may_v perhaps_o retain_v somewhat_o of_o the_o colour_n of_o blood_n although_o the_o nature_n and_o propriety_n of_o blood_n be_v quite_o alter_v as_o for_o the_o instance_n of_o preserve_v dead_a fish_n or_o flesh_n from_o putrify_v and_o stink_v allege_v by_o some_o we_o see_v that_o ordinary_a salt_n will_v do_v the_o same_o with_o less_o cost_n and_o as_o spirit_n of_o wine_n or_o hot_a water_n may_v like_o salt_n preserve_v some_o dead_a body_n from_o corruption_n so_o may_v they_o by_o make_v too_o much_o or_o frequent_a use_n of_o they_o also_o cause_n live_v body_n to_o corrupt_v and_o dissolve_v soon_o than_o otherwise_o they_o will_v do_v but_o chemist_n be_v so_o much_o for_o extract_n that_o by_o their_o frequent_a use_n and_o application_n they_o often_o extract_v humane_a life_n out_o of_o humane_a body_n instead_o of_o preserve_v it_o 20._o of_o chemistry_n and_o chemical_a principle_n it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v and_o i_o have_v partly_o make_v mention_v above_o what_o a_o stir_v natural_a philosopher_n do_v keep_v concern_v the_o principle_n of_o nature_n and_o natural_a being_n and_o how_o different_a their_o opinion_n be_v the_o school_n follow_v aristotle_n be_v for_o the_o four_o element_n which_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v simple_a body_n as_o have_v no_o mixture_n in_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o fit_a to_o be_v principle_n of_o all_o other_o mix_v or_o compound_v body_n but_o my_o reason_n can_v apprehend_v what_o they_o mean_v by_o simple_a body_n i_o confess_v that_o some_o body_n be_v more_o mix_v than_o other_o that_o be_v they_o consist_v of_o more_o differ_a part_n such_o as_o the_o learned_a call_v heterogeneous_a as_o for_o example_n animal_n consist_v of_o flesh_n blood_n skin_n bone_n muscle_n nerve_n tendon_n gristle_n and_o the_o like_a all_o which_o be_v part_n of_o different_a figure_n other_o body_n again_o be_v compose_v of_o such_o part_n as_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o the_o learned_a call_v homogeneous_a as_o for_o example_n water_n air_n etc._n etc._n who_o part_n have_v no_o different_a figure_n but_o be_v all_o alike_o each_o other_o at_o least_o to_o our_o perception_n beside_o there_o be_v body_n which_o be_v more_o rare_a and_o subtle_a than_o other_o according_a to_o the_o degree_n of_o their_o natural_a figurative_a motion_n and_o the_o composion_n of_o their_o part_n nevertheless_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o those_o homogeneous_a body_n shall_v be_v call_v simple_a and_o all_o other_o mix_v or_o compose_v of_o they_o much_o less_o why_o they_o shall_v be_v principle_n of_o all_o other_o natural_a body_n for_o they_o derive_v their_o origine_fw-la from_o matter_n as_o well_o as_o the_o rest_n so_o that_o it_o be_v only_o the_o different_a composure_n of_o their_o part_n that_o make_v a_o difference_n between_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o variety_n of_o self-motion_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o different_a figure_n in_o nature_n for_o as_o several_a workman_n join_v in_o the_o build_n of_o one_o house_n and_o several_a man_n in_o the_o frame_n of_o one_o government_n so_o do_v several_a part_n in_o the_o make_n or_o form_v of_o one_o compose_a figure_n but_o they_o will_v say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o likeness_n of_o part_n that_o make_v the_o four_o element_n to_o be_v principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n but_o because_o there_o be_v no_o natural_a body_n beside_o the_o mention_a element_n that_o be_v not_o compose_v of_o they_o as_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o dissolution_n of_o their_o part_n for_o example_n a_o piece_n of_o green_a wood_n that_o be_v burn_v in_o a_o chimney_n we_o may_v

the_o water_n hiss_v and_o boil_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o wood_n and_o the_o ash_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o element_n of_o earth_n but_o if_o they_o have_v no_o better_a argument_n to_o prove_v their_o principle_n they_o shall_v not_o ready_o gain_v my_o consent_n for_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o wood_n shall_v be_v compose_v of_o the_o four_o element_n because_o it_o burn_v smoke_n hiss_n and_o turn_v into_o ash_n fire_n be_v none_o of_o its_o natural_a ingredient_n but_o a_o different_a figure_n which_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o part_n of_o the_o wood_n be_v a_o occasion_n that_o the_o wood_n turn_v into_o ash_n neither_o be_v water_n a_o principle_n of_o wood_n for_o water_n be_v as_o much_o a_o figure_n by_o itself_o as_o wood_n or_o fire_n be_v which_o be_v get_v into_o

to_o the_o wing_n of_o bird_n that_o make_v they_o unapt_a to_o fly_v and_o not_o so_o much_o the_o bulk_n of_o their_o body_n but_o i_o believe_v that_o a_o four-legged_a creature_n or_o animal_n

but_o both_o their_o exterior_a shape_n and_o the_o water_n restlessness_n or_o activity_n the_o several_a part_n of_o water_n endeavour_v to_o drive_v those_o float_a body_n from_o they_o like_v as_o

glass_n be_v more_o transparent_a than_o water_n and_o yet_o more_o dense_a than_o water_n and_o some_o body_n will_v not_o be_v transparent_a if_o they_o be_v thick_a that_o be_v if_o they_o have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o part_n upon_o part_n when_o as_o they_o will_v be_v transparent_a if_o they_o be_v thin_a that_o be_v if_o they_o have_v few_o thin_a part_n upon_o each_o other_o so_o that_o

very_o well_o be_v that_o a_o man_n in_o a_o deep_a contemplative_a study_n do_v not_o always_o feel_v when_o he_o be_v pinch_v or_o touch_v because_o all_o the_o rational_a motion_n of_o his_o body_n

can_v give_v such_o a_o general_a information_n as_o the_o rational_a for_o one_o rational_a part_n can_v inform_v all_o other_o rational_a part_n in_o a_o moment_n of_o time_n and_o by_o one_o act_n and_o therefore_o rational_a knowledge_n be_v not_o only_o in_o the_o head_n or_o brain_n but_o in_o every_o part_n or_o particle_n of_o the_o body_n some_o learned_a conceive_v that_o all_o

organ_n and_o presentit_fw-fr self_n before_o the_o mind_n by_o reason_n all_o object_n be_v not_o perceive_v in_o part_n but_o many_o in_o whole_a and_o since_o the_o exterior_a figure_n of_o the_o object_n be_v only_o perceive_v by_o the_o sense_n than_o the_o bare_a figure_n will_v enter_v into_o the_o brain_n without_o the_o body_n or_o substance_n of_o the_o object_n which_o how_o it_o can_v

have_v no_o lover_n but_o be_v rather_o a_o monster_n of_o art_n than_o a_o picture_n of_o nature_n and_o have_v a_o aversion_n at_o least_o a_o dislike_n to_o her_o own_o exterior_a figure_n and_o shape_n and_o perchance_o if_o a_o louse_n or_o flea_n or_o such_o like_a insect_n shall_v look_v through_o a_o microscope_n it_o will_v be_v as_o much_o affright_v with_o its_o own_o exterior_a figure_n as_o a_o young_a beautiful_a lady_n when_o she_o appear_v ill-favoured_a by_o art_n i_o do_v not_o say_v this_o as_o if_o optic_a glass_n can_v not_o present_v the_o true_a figure_n of_o a_o original_a for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o exceed_v the_o compass_n of_o natural_a dimension_n they_o may_v but_o when_o they_o endeavour_v to_o go_v beyond_o they_o and_o do_v more_o than_o nature_n have_v do_v they_o rather_o present_v monstrous_a then_o true_o natural_a figure_n wherefore_o those_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v the_o best_a artist_n that_o keep_v near_o to_o nature_n rule_n and_o endeavour_v not_o to_o know_v more_o than_o what_o be_v possible_a for_o a_o finite_a part_n or_o creature_n to_o know_v for_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o better_a way_n to_o be_v right_o and_o true_o inform_v of_o nature_n work_n then_o by_o study_v nature_n corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o which_o study_n they_o will_v practice_v art_n as_o far_o as_o art_n be_v able_a to_o be_v practise_v more_o easy_o and_o successful_o than_o they_o will_v do_v without_o it_o but_o to_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n some_o part_n of_o nature_n be_v more_o endue_v with_o regular_a reason_n than_o other_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o some_o creature_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o fort_n or_o kind_n as_o for_o example_n mankind_n be_v more_o wife_n and_o ingenious_a than_o other_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o art_n but_o regular_a sense_n and_o reason_n that_o make_v some_o more_o know_v and_o some_o more_o wife_n and_o ingenious_a than_o other_o and_o the_o irregular_a motion_n of_o sense_n and_o reason_n that_o make_v some_o more_o ignorant_a or_o more_o extravagant_a in_o their_o opinion_n than_o other_o 5._o art_n can_v introduce_v new_a form_n in_o nature_n some_o account_n it_o a_o great_a honour_n that_o the_o indulgent_a creator_n although_o he_o give_v not_o to_o natural_a creature_n the_o power_n to_o produce_v one_o atom_n of_o matter_n yet_o allow_v they_o the_o power_n to_o introduce_v so_o many_o form_n which_o philosopher_n teach_v to_o be_v noble_a than_o matter_n and_o to_o work_v such_o change_n among_o creature_n that_o if_o adam_n be_v now_o alive_a and_o shall_v survelgh_v the_o great_a variety_n of_o man_n production_n that_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o shop_n of_o artificer_n the_o laboratory_n of_o chemist_n and_o other_o well_o furnish_v magazine_n of_o art_n he_o will_v admire_v to_o see_v what_o a_o new_a world_n it_o be_v where_o first_o i_o do_v not_o understand_v how_o man_n or_o any_o other_o creature_n shall_v have_v the_o power_n of_o make_v or_o introduce_v new_a form_n if_o those_o form_n be_v not_o already_o in_o nature_n for_o no_o creature_n by_o any_o art_n whatsoever_o be_v able_a to_o produce_v a_o new_a form_n no_o more_o than_o he_o can_v make_v a_o atom_n of_o new_a matter_n by_o reason_n the_o power_n lie_v in_o nature_n and_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n not_o in_o any_o of_o her_o creature_n and_o if_o art_n may_v or_o can_v work_v change_n among_o some_o fellow-creature_n they_o be_v but_o natural_a by_o reason_n nature_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a motion_n and_o in_o some_o part_n in_o a_o perpetual_a transformation_n next_o as_o for_o the_o question_n whether_o form_n be_v more_o noble_a than_o the_o matter_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o this_o can_v with_o no_o more_o ground_n of_o truth_n be_v affirm_v then_o that_o the_o effect_n be_v noble_a than_o its_o cause_n and_o if_o any_o creature_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o make_v form_n which_o be_v more_o noble_a than_o matter_n itself_o then_o certain_o that_o creature_n will_v be_v above_o nature_n and_o a_o creator_n rather_o than_o a_o creature_n beside_o form_n can_v be_v create_v without_o matter_n nor_o matter_n without_o form_n for_o form_n be_v no_o thing_n subsist_v by_o itself_o without_o matter_n but_o matter_n and_o form_n make_v but_o one_o body_n and_o therefore_o he_o that_o introduce_v a_o new_a form_n must_v also_o introduce_v a_o new_a matter_n and_o though_o art_n change_v form_n yet_o it_o can_v be_v say_v to_o introduce_v a_o new_a form_n for_o form_n be_v and_o have_v be_v eternal_o in_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o matter_n so_o that_o nothing_o be_v create_v anew_o which_o never_o be_v in_o nature_n before_o it_o be_v true_a if_o adam_n be_v alive_a now_o he_o may_v see_v more_o variety_n but_o not_o more_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o natural_a creature_n than_o there_o be_v at_o his_o time_n though_o never_o more_o metamorphose_v or_o rather_o i_o may_v say_v disfigure_v unnatural_a and_o hermaphroditical_a issue_n then_o there_o be_v now_o which_o if_o they_o shall_v make_v a_o new_a world_n by_o the_o architecture_n of_o art_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a monstruous_a one_o but_o i_o be_o sure_a art_n will_v never_o do_v it_o for_o the_o world_n be_v still_o as_o it_o be_v and_o new_a discovery_n by_o art_n or_o the_o death_n and_o birth_n of_o creature_n will_v not_o make_v a_o new_a world_n nor_o destroy_v the_o old_a no_o more_o than_o the_o dissolve_v and_o compose_v of_o several_a part_n will_v make_v new_a matter_n for_o although_o nature_n delight_v in_o variety_n yet_o she_o be_v constant_a in_o her_o groundwork_n and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a error_n in_o man_n to_o study_v more_o the_o exterior_a face_n and_o countenance_n of_o thing_n than_o their_o interior_a natural_a figurative_a motion_n which_o error_n must_v undoubted_o cause_v great_a mistake_n in_o so_o much_o as_o man_n rule_n will_v be_v false_a compare_v to_o the_o true_a principle_n of_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v a_o false_a maxim_n to_o believe_v that_o if_o some_o creature_n have_v power_n over_o other_o
