be_v already_o decay_a and_o feeble_a in_o they_o like_v as_o it_o be_v in_o those_o live_a creature_n which_o have_v but_o little_a blood_n for_o small_a need_n have_v they_o of_o nouriture_n for_o default_n of_o natural_a heat_n moreover_o thus_o much_o we_o may_v observe_v in_o every_o one_o of_o ourselves_o that_o our_o bodily_a exercise_n our_o loud_a outcry_n and_o such_o like_a matter_n as_o by_o motion_n do_v augment_v heat_n make_v we_o to_o take_v more_o pleasure_n in_o our_o meat_n and_o to_o have_v a_o better_a appetite_n to_o eat_v now_o the_o principal_a most_o familiar_a

but_o in_o winter_n it_o run_v always_o new_a and_o fresh_a whereof_o the_o sea_n can_v choose_v but_o have_v a_o good_a part_n as_o well_o because_o it_o be_v evermore_o in_o motion_n as_o also_o for_o that_o the_o river_n run_v into_o it_o be_v great_a and_o impart_v their_o fresh_a water_n unto_o it_o 10_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o man_n be_v wont_a to_o pour_v sea_n water_n into_o

or_o in_o this_o respect_n that_o wheat_n be_v a_o stiff_a and_o hard_a kind_n of_o grain_n resemble_v the_o nature_n of_o wood_n do_v soon_o come_v and_o chit_z within_o the_o ground_n in_o case_n

that_o fisher_n choose_v the_o hair_n of_o stone-horsetailes_a rather_o than_o of_o mare_n to_o make_v their_o angle_a line_n be_v it_o because_o the_o male_a as_o in_o all_o other_o part_n so_o in_o

the_o procreation_n of_o the_o universal_a world_n likewise_o in_o his_o book_n of_o commonwealth_n he_o say_v that_o fatal_a necessity_n be_v the_o reason_n and_o speech_n of_o lachesis_n the_o

after_o this_o sort_n namely_o that_o fatal_a destiny_n be_v a_o divine_a reason_n or_o sentence_n intransgressible_a and_o inevitable_a proceed_v from_o a_o cause_n that_o can_v be_v divert_v nor_o

see_v what_o destiny_n be_v as_o it_o go_v for_o a_o action_n but_o be_v take_v for_o a_o substance_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o universal_a soul_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o admit_v a_o
