the._n 10._o chap._n of_o egg_n contain_v 9_o quest_n this_o chapter_n require_v now_o some_o special_a treatise_n of_o egg_n wherein_o the_o first_o question_n which_o offer_v itself_o most_o fit_o to_o be_v demand_v be_v this_o which_o be_v the_o hot_a of_o the_o yolk_n or_o the_o white_a among_o all_o humour_n blood_n be_v warm_a in_o temperate_a warmth_n so_o that_o the_o yolk_n as_o come_v

in_o temperature_n unto_o the_o white_a as_o be_v the_o blood_n in_o the_o liver_n second_o why_o do_v the_o yolk_n be_v cast_v into_o water_n sink_v down_o to_o the_o bottom_n and_o the_o white_a

bird_n the_o greatness_n in_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v continual_a avicen_n be_v procure_v by_o a_o strong_a heat_n but_o a_o multitude_n in_o that_o which_o be_v divide_v be_v long_o of_o the_o

but_o few_o in_o division_n and_o contrariwise_o it_o fare_v in_o fish_n four_o why_o have_v bird_n egg_n a_o hard_a shell_n and_o fish_n egg_n a_o soft_a fish_n lay_v their_o egg_n in_o a_o moist_a place_n and_o therefore_o they_o need_v no_o hard_a shell_n but_o bird_n lay_v their_o egg_n in_o hard_a and_o sound_a place_n as_o upon_o the_o ground_n stone_n tree_n and_o such_o like_a and_o therefore_o have_v need_n of_o a_o hard_a shell_n to_o keep_v they_o from_o hurt_n until_o such_o time_n as_o the_o chick_n or_o bird_n be_v hatch_v five_o why_o be_v bird_n egg_n speckle_v and_o of_o diverse_a color_n and_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o fish_n in_o bird_n there_o be_v a_o strong_a natural_a heat_n which_o be_v able_a to_o separate_v thing_n of_o diverse_a nature_n asunder_o as_o the_o

will_v start_v forth_o with_o great_a noise_n and_o force_n which_o it_o will_v not_o do_v if_o the_o fire_n be_v small_a but_o proportionable_o there_o be_v much_o more_o windiness_n in_o the_o egg_n of_o fish_n and_o therefore_o they_o make_v a_o great_a noise_n when_o they_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o fire_n as_o appear_v for_o example_n in_o the_o row_n of_o a_o hear_n the._n 11._o chap._n of_o
