be_v what_o the_o physician_n call_v the_o myurus_fw-la or_o mouse-tail_n for_o that_o its_o diadrome_n or_o difference_n between_o great_a and_o least_o expansion_n do_v continual_o become_v less_o

property_n of_o fermentation_n be_v these_o that_o the_o mass_n so_o ferment_v suffer_v a_o eminent_a alteration_n in_o all_o its_o usual_a way_n of_o affect_v our_o sense_n as_o well_o in_o its_o

of_o thing_n thus_o ferment_v all_o fermentation_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v either_o perfective_a or_o destructive_a though_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v but_o one_o continue_a flux_n as_o for_o

that_o ripen_v it_o at_o last_o arrive_v at_o corruption_n and_o so_o change_v both_o its_o name_n and_o nature_n together_o 4_o another_o eminent_a property_n of_o fermentation_n be_v that_o for_o the_o most_o part_n the_o body_n ferment_v do_v occupy_v more_o space_n than_o the_o same_o do_v before_o which_o be_v very_o evident_a in_o the_o drown_a body_n of_o man_n or_o other_o animal_n which_o though_o at_o first_o they_o go_v to_o the_o bottom_n yet_o after_o a_o certain_a time_n do_v slow_o boy_n themselves_o up_o again_o to_o the_o top_n of_o the_o water_n not_o for_o that_o the_o break_n of_o the_o gall_n become_v the_o
cause_n of_o their_o ascend_n as_o some_o even_o know_v man_n have_v suffer_v themselves_o to_o be_v persuade_v but_o because_o such_o body_n former_o heavy_a than_o water_n quantity_n for_o quantity_n and_o consequent_o apt_a to_o sink_v have_v now_o acquire_v a_o large_a dimension_n while_o they_o however_o increase_v not_o their_o weight_n and_o so_o become_v light_a than_o the_o water_n contain_v in_o the_o like_a space_n be_v protrude_v by_o it_o to_o the_o top_n where_o they_o by_o degree_n swell_v yet_o big_a so_o that_o sometime_o i_o have_v see_v a_o dog_n lie_v with_o
