in_o arabia_n as_o plinius_n write_v be_v a_o very_a precious_a kind_n of_o dew_n that_o be_v call_v laudanum_n arabia_n which_o fall_v upon_o the_o herb_n cusus_fw-la cusus_fw-la and_o mix_v with_o

a_o certain_a watery_a thing_n exhalation_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o water_n so_o exhalation_n have_v a_o certain_a earthly_a nature_n in_o it_o but_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o earth_n for_o the_o better_a understanding_n of_o vapour_n understand_v that_o they_o be_v as_o it_o be_v fume_n or_o smoke_v warm_a and_o moist_a which_o will_v easy_o be_v resolve_v into_o water_n much_o like_a to_o the_o

by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n afterward_o even_o unto_o the_o middle_a region_n of_o the_o air_n and_o there_o after_o divers_a manner_n of_o meeting_n with_o coldness_n many_o kind_n of_o

wherefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o water_n on_o the_o stone_n as_o also_o on_o the_o earth_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n draw_v up_o when_o the_o stone_n or_o earth_n be_v dry_v exhalation_n

out_o of_o the_o fire_n and_o air_n no_o matter_n whereof_o meteor_n shall_v consist_v can_v be_v draw_v because_o of_o their_o subtlety_n and_o thinness_n for_o all_o exhalation_n be_v by_o make_v
