air_n be_v more_o necessary_a to_o the_o body_n prove_v the_o same_o both_o by_o reason_n and_o experience_n by_o reason_n thus_o life_n consist_v in_o natural_a heat_n because_o natural_a heat_n be_v the_o begin_v of_o life_n wherefore_o that_o thing_n which_o temper_v natural_a heat_n retain_v it_o in_o the_o natural_a temperature_n be_v more_o necessary_a but_o the_o air_n which_o by_o way_n
