that_o in_o the_o very_a body_n of_o live_a creature_n those_o part_n which_o participate_v least_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o fire_n be_v more_o senseless_a than_o any_o other_o as_o bone_n and_o

of_o fire_n more_o or_o less_o for_o humidity_n simple_o it_o be_v not_o that_o bring_v forth_o plant_n and_o fruit_n but_o warm_a humidity_n be_v it_o that_o do_v the_o deed_n whereas_o cold_a water_n be_v either_o barren_a altogether_o or_o not_o very_o fruitful_a and_o fertile_a and_o yet_o if_o water_n be_v of_o the_o own_o nature_n fructuous_a it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o itself_o alone_o and_o at_o all_o time_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o produce_v fruit_n whereas_o we_o see_v it_o be_v clean_o contrary_a namely_o that_o it_o be_v rather_o hurtful_a to_o fruit_n and_o now_o to_o reason_n from_o another_o head_n and_o go_v another_o way_n to_o work_v to_o make_v use_n of_o fire_n as_o it_o be_v fire_n need_v we_o have_v not_o of_o water_n nay_o it_o 〈◊〉_d rather_o for_o it_o quench_v and_o 〈◊〉_d it_o out_o clean_o on_o the_o other_o side_n many_o 〈◊〉_d be_v who_o can_v tell_v what_o to_o do_v with_o water_n without_o fire_n for_o be_v make_v hot_a it_o be_v more_o profitable_a and_o otherwise_o in_o the_o own_o kind_a hurtful_a of_o two_o thing_n therefore_o that_o which_o can_v do_v good_a of_o itself_o without_o need_n of_o the_o other_o help_v be_v better_a and_o more_o profitable_a moreover_o water_n yield_v commodity_n but_o after_o one_o sort_n only_o to_o wit_n by_o touch_v as_o when_o we_o feel_v it_o or_o wash_v and_o bathe_v with_o it_o whereas_o fire_n serve_v all_o the_o five_o sense_n &_o do_v they_o good_a for_o it_o be_v feel_v both_o near_a at_o hand_n and_o also_o see_v afar_o of_o so_o that_o among_o other_o mean_n that_o it_o have_v of_o profit_v no_o man_n may_v account_v the_o multiplicity_n of_o the_o use_n that_o it_o afford_v for_o that_o a_o man_n shall_v be_v at_o any_o time_n without_o fire_n it_o be_v impossible_a nay_o he_o can_v have_v his_o first_o generation_n without_o it_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o this_o kind_n as_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n the_o very_a sea_n itself_o be_v make_v more_o 〈◊〉_d by_o heat_n so_o as_o it_o do_v heat_n more_o by_o the_o agitation_n and_o current_n that_o it_o have_v than_o any_o other_o water_n for_o of_o itself_o otherwise_o it_o

they_o have_v plenty_n and_o store_n of_o natural_a heat_n within_o they_o so_o that_o in_o this_o very_a point_n the_o commodity_n of_o fire_n ought_v to_o be_v esteem_v the_o more_o and_o as_o for_o water_n it_o be_v never_o in_o that_o good_a state_n but_o some_o need_v it_o have_v of_o help_n without_o whereas_o the_o exellencie_n of_o fire_n be_v such_o as_o it_o be_v content_a with_o itself_o and_o require_v not_o the_o aid_n of_o the_o other_o like_a as_o therefore_o that_o captain_n be_v to_o be_v repute_v more_o excellent_a who_o know_v to_o order_n and_o furnish_v a_o city_n so_o as_o it_o have_v no_o need_n of_o foreign_a ally_n so_o we_o be_v to_o think_v that_o among_o element_n that_o be_v the_o worthy_a which_o may_v often_o time_n consist_v without_o the_o succour_n and_o aid_v of_o another_o and_o even_o as_o much_o may_v be_v say_v of_o live_a creature_n which_o have_v least_o need_n of_o other_o help_n and_o yet_o haply_o it_o may_v be_v reply_v contrariwise_o that_o the_o thing_n be_v more_o profitable_a which_o we_o use_v alone_o by_o itself_o namely_o when_o by_o discourse_n of_o reason_n we_o be_v able_a to_o choose_v the_o better_a for_o what_o be_v more_o commodious_a and_o profitable_a to_o man_n than_o reason_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v none_o at_o all_o in_o brute_n beast_n and_o what_o follow_v hereupon_o shall_v we_o infer_v therefore_o that_o it_o be_v less_o profitable_a as_o invent_v by_o the_o providence_n of_o a_o better_a nature_n which_o be_v god_n but_o since_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o this_o argument_n what_o be_v more_o profitable_a to_o man_n life_n than_o art_n but_o there_o be_v no_o art_n which_o fire_n devise_v not_o or_o at_o least_o wise_a do_v not_o maintain_v and_o hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o we_o make_v 〈◊〉_d the_o prince_n and_o master_n of_o all_o art_n furthermore_o whereas_o the_o time_n and_o space_n of_o life_n be_v very_o short_a that_o be_v give_v unto_o man_n as_o short_a as_o it_o be_v yet_o sleep_v as_o ariston_n say_v like_v unto_o a_o false_a bailie_n or_o publican_n take_v the_o half_a thereof_o for_o itself_o true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v lie_v awake_a and_o not_o sleep_v all_o night_n long_o but_o i_o may_v aswell_o say_v that_o his_o wake_n will_v serve_v he_o in_o small_a stead_n be_v it_o not_o that_o fire_n present_v unto_o he_o the_o commodity_n of_o the_o day_n and_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o the_o darkness_n of_o the_o night_n and_o the_o light_n of_o the_o day_n if_o then_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o profitable_a unto_o man_n than_o
