without_o sense_n yet_o some_o attribute_n this_o to_o the_o sex_n of_o the_o plant_n which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v metaphorical_o as_o a_o certain_a similitude_n take_v from_o strength_n and_o

and_o humour_n daily_o cherish_v for_o it_o be_v consonant_a to_o reason_n where_o there_o be_v much_o humidity_n and_o calidity_n there_o the_o root_n must_v needs_o be_v ample_a and_o profound_a and_o therefore_o a_o small_a and_o simple_a root_n be_v defective_a of_o calidity_n and_o humidity_n and_o thereupon_o can_v grow_v long_o four_o fecundity_n also_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o shorten_v

they_o d_o but_o why_o certain_a plant_n do_v arise_v quick_o after_o sow_v the_o seed_n and_o other_o a_o long_a time_n after_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a cause_n be_v the_o force_n of_o form_n
