A60020	A philosophical essay declaring the probable causes whence stones are produced in the greater world from which occasion is taken to search into the origin of all bodies, discovering them to proceed from water and seeds : being a prodromus to a medicinal tract concerning the causes and cure of the stone in the kidneys and bladders of men / written by Dr. Thomas Sherley ...

upon_o that_o member_n of_o the_o child_n which_o correspond_v to_o that_o of_o her_o own_o body_n she_o touch_v with_o her_o hand_n which_o as_o experience_n teach_v we_o will_v vegetate_v grow_v

which_o mean_v it_o reduce_v it_o to_o a_o form_n like_o itself_o and_o as_o a_o painter_n do_v first_o conceive_v in_o his_o mind_n a_o spiritual_a idea_n of_o the_o picture_n he_o intend_v to_o

all_o the_o visible_a and_o tangible_a body_n of_o the_o world_n have_v their_o result_n and_o therefore_o i_o have_v all_o along_o this_o ensue_a discourse_n take_v care_n to_o explicate_v the_o
