the_o influence_n of_o the_o star_n the_o operation_n of_o his_o sense_n be_v of_o much_o more_o difficult_a explication_n than_o all_o those_o of_o the_o loadstone_n and_o he_o be_v a_o great_a

with_o some_o proof_n of_o it_o they_o seem_v at_o first_o sight_n to_o surpass_v or_o equal_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o strange_a and_o those_o that_o have_v describe_v they_o have_v not_o

even_o with_o the_o loss_n of_o its_o life_n see_v that_o it_o stifle_v itself_o in_o its_o own_o work_n that_o it_o can_v draw_v out_o of_o its_o body_n that_o silk_n of_o which_o it_o compose_v it_o that_o a_o long_a time_n after_o it_o be_v dead_a it_o revive_v that_o it_o transform_v itself_o into_o a_o butterfly_n and_o after_o it_o be_v thus_o transform_v it_o can_v live_v still_o many_o

somewhat_o exact_o we_o shall_v persuade_v ourselves_o that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o leave_v the_o bound_n of_o common_a and_o ordinary_a cause_n to_o unveil_v and_o clear_v the_o secret_n of_o they_o and_o to_o do_v it_o i_o will_v lay_v down_o only_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o silkworm_n be_v excessive_a cold_a and_o second_o that_o they_o be_v full_a and_o as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v overglut_v with_o a_o excessive_a moisture_n their_o moisture_n be_v apparent_a of_o its_o self_n to_o our_o sight_n since_o that_o it_o make_v they_o whole_o transparent_a and_o it_o be_v credible_a that_o it_o be_v this_o that_o render_v they_o so_o fruitful_a their_o extreme_a coldness_n may_v also_o be_v feel_v by_o our_o hand_n and_o do_v beside_o discover_v itself_o by_o certain_a reason_n to_o our_o mind_n see_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o summer_n if_o the_o weather_n come_v to_o be_v a_o little_a coldish_a they_o die_v with_o cold_a which_o do_v not_o befall_v any_o other_o creature_n and_o see_v those_o which_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o keep_v they_o be_v careful_a to_o keep_v they_o very_o warm_a and_o in_o a_o place_n that_o be_v not_o expose_v to_o the_o northwind_n these_o two_o thing_n be_v thus_o suppose_v it_o be_v no_o wonder_n in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o noise_n of_o thunder_n kill_v they_o this_o manifest_o proceed_v from_o the_o fear_n which_o so_o terrible_a a_o noise_n cause_n in_o they_o for_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o fearful_a since_o that_o they_o be_v so_o cold_a and_o be_v void_a of_o blood_n and_o when_o fear_n add_v its_o coldness_n to_o that_o which_o be_v natural_a to_o they_o so_o violent_a a_o excess_n may_v easy_o deprive_v they_o of_o life_n now_o as_o the_o silkworm_n be_v very_o cold_a and_o when_o it_o begin_v to_o grow_v old_a its_o natural_a frigidity_n by_o this_o mean_n increase_a it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o that_o it_o seek_v to_o envelop_v and_o cover_v itself_o to_o the_o end_n that_o it_o may_v be_v warm_a for_o all_o other_o creature_n be_v press_v with_o cold_a do_v the_o like_a and_o search_v out_o hole_n wherein_o they_o lie_v in_o the_o straw_n and_o enwrap_v themselves_o even_o in_o the_o clothes_n and_o hang_n of_o our_o house_n to_o be_v the_o less_o trouble_v with_o it_o hereto_o serve_v the_o silk_n which_o it_o vomit_v and_o we_o must_v not_o wonder_v that_o it_o can_v vomit_v this_o rich_a matter_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o remainder_n of_o its_o nourishment_n which_o its_o too_o weak_a heat_n can_v digest_v and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o superfluous_a humour_n which_o their_o abundance_n of_o it_o have_v cause_v beside_o when_o it_o put_v it_o forth_o it_o be_v not_o dry_a but_o viscous_a and_o have_v a_o clammy_a moistness_n but_o present_o after_o the_o air_n harden_v and_o dry_v it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v glue_v be_v thus_o cover_v for_o warmth_n it_o be_v not_o stifle_v as_o folk_n believe_v nature_n do_v not_o give_v creature_n any_o instinct_n that_o be_v so_o destructive_a to_o they_o it_o die_v not_o unless_o by_o a_o natural_a death_n for_o want_n of_o strength_n but_o rather_o it_o make_v its_o bed_n when_o we_o think_v it_o build_v its_o sepulchre_n and_o sleep_v when_o we_o believe_v it_o die_v and_o indeed_o if_o we_o open_v this_o pretend_a grave_n after_o that_o we_o believe_v it_o be_v dead_a we_o shall_v clear_o perceive_v that_o it_o be_v only_o in_o a_o profound_a sleep_n its_o natural_a frigidity_n which_o even_o before_o it_o thus_o lock_v itself_o up_o cause_v it_o to_o sleep_v long_o then_o ordinary_o other_o creature_n do_v make_v it_o sleep_v much_o long_o since_o it_o lock_v itself_o up_o envelop_v as_o it_o be_v in_o silk_n which_o it_o wise_o draw_v out_o of_o its_o own_o body_n to_o cast_v round_o about_o it_o it_o grow_v a_o little_a warm_a by_o reason_n that_o its_o heat_n be_v on_o all_o side_n hinder_v from_o exhaling_a and_o drive_v back_o just_a as_o a_o man_n become_v warm_a by_o mean_n of_o the_o clothes_n he_o cover_v himself_o with_o but_o whence_o come_v it_o you_o will_v say_v that_o it_o transform_v itself_o into_o a_o butterfly_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o colour_n to_o say_v it_o be_v transform_v that_o the_o wing_n it_o acquire_v be_v due_a to_o it_o from_o its_o birth_n that_o nature_n intend_v it_o shall_v fly_v with_o they_o but_o that_o they_o can_v not_o grow_v out_o until_o that_o be_v cover_v with_o silk_n which_o it_o vomit_v it_o have_v get_v together_o a_o little_a more_o heat_n to_o strengthen_v its_o vegetative_a faculty_n and_o enable_v it_o to_o put_v they_o forth_o as_o it_o do_v to_o that_o of_o tree_n to_o put_v forth_o their_o fruit_n leaf_n and_o flower_n the_o production_n whereof_o be_v former_o hinder_v by_o the_o

there_o they_o get_v wing_n as_o well_o as_o these_o but_o that_o which_o further_o prove_v to_o we_o that_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o silkworm_n unite_n itself_o after_o the_o manner_n aforesaid_a may_v serve_v to_o put_v forth_o its_o wing_n be_v that_o fly_a serpent_n be_v to_o be_v see_v only_o in_o very_o hot_a country_n by_o reason_n it_o seem_v that_o the_o extreme_a heat_n of_o the_o air_n supply_v the_o defect_n of_o the_o coldness_n of_o their_o temper_n give_v their_o formative_a faculty_n power_n to_o produce_v they_o but_o if_o we_o must_v say_v that_o they_o be_v transform_v and_o that_o they_o change_v their_o nature_n in_o acquire_v wing_n because_o that_o immediate_o after_o their_o birth_n they_o have_v none_o we_o must_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n say_v that_o many_o other_o creature_n be_v transform_v when_o they_o acquire_v tooth_n nail_n or_o horn_n which_o they_o have_v not_o when_o they_o be_v bear_v and_o that_o the_o very_a bird_n be_v transform_v when_o they_o get_v wing_n since_o that_o when_o they_o be_v hatch_v they_o have_v none_o the_o silkworm_n therefore_o be_v not_o transform_v but_o only_o become_v able_a to_o fly_v somewhat_o slowly_o and_o to_o conclude_v my_o story_n it_o be_v reasonable_a we_o shall_v believe_v that_o after_o it_o have_v sleep_v much_o the_o same_o cause_n that_o awaken_v other_o creature_n awaken_v this_o also_o then_o do_v wise_a nature_n make_v it_o vomit_v forth_o a_o thin_a sharp_a moisture_n which_o help_v it_o to_o gnaw_v that_o silk_n which_o it_o be_v on_o all_o side_n environ_v with_o and_o by_o this_o mean_n out_o it_o come_v and_o continue_v for_o many_o day_n and_o even_o to_o the_o end_n of_o its_o life_n without_o eat_v any_o thing_n wherein_o consist_v the_o last_o marvel_n that_o we_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o but_o i_o conceive_v we_o may_v easy_o guess_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o if_o we_o remember_v that_o it_o have_v a_o very_a great_a moisture_n join_v with_o a_o very_a

any_o other_o and_o hereupon_o may_v be_v allege_v the_o strange_a story_n of_o a_o german_a maid_n that_o have_v a_o very_a weak_a heat_n and_o a_o body_n full_a of_o a_o viscous_a

and_o uphold_v the_o opinion_n which_o we_o have_v of_o it_o ourselves_o beside_o we_o do_v without_o doubt_n desire_n to_o gain_v esteem_n because_o it_o be_v a_o way_n to_o make_v we_o be_v belove_v

clear_n of_o this_o problem_n i_o think_v it_o be_v needful_a to_o consider_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o admiration_n and_o fear_n have_v some_o affinity_n and_o do_v often_o accompany_v one_o another_o which_o be_v so_o it_o seem_v that_o as_o admiration_n make_v a_o chillness_n run_v through_o one_o whole_a body_n by_o reason_n that_o it_o bring_v into_o the_o soul_n a_o certain_a shadow_n of_o fear_n so_o fear_n make_v the_o hair_n stand_v on_o end_n out_o of_o some_o mixture_n of_o admiration_n indeed_o this_o seem_v so_o much_o the_o more_o probable_a because_o the_o fright_n which_o make_v the_o hair_n stand_v on_o end_n must_v spring_v from_o a_o danger_n who_o image_n present_o strike_v the_o soul_n and_o yet_o it_o know_v no_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o that_o those_o fright_n which_o come_v upon_o we_o when_o we_o think_v we_o see_v dead_a man_n or_o ghost_n or_o devil_n do_v chief_o produce_v this_o effect_n because_o they_o be_v not_o only_o fearful_a

turnus_n be_v in_o see_v a_o infernal_a monster_n flap_n his_o buckler_n with_o its_o wing_n upon_o all_o these_o occasion_n he_o put_v down_o this_o circumstance_n that_o their_o hair_n stand_v up_o right_o because_o that_o all_o these_o thing_n be_v as_o admirable_a as_o terrible_a but_o in_o other_o kind_n of_o fear_n he_o be_v content_v to_o mention_v only_a coldness_n and_o tremble_a and_o if_o any_o demand_n of_o i_o why_o admiration_n make_v the_o hair_n to_o stand_v up_o right_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o soul_n have_v its_o faculty_n intent_n on_o the_o consideration_n of_o that_o which_o appear_v admirable_a do_v also_o contract_v the_o organ_n of_o the_o brain_n and_o with_o they_o the_o skin_n that_o cover_v the_o head_n now_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o imagine_v that_o we_o can_v contract_v this_o skin_n but_o by_o pull_v it_o up_o nor_o pull_v it_o up_o but_o the_o hair_n will_v stare_v a_o little_a it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o motion_n of_o fear_n do_v also_o contribute_v thereto_o because_o it_o make_v one_o cold_a and_o that_o a_o part_n of_o our_o body_n can_v be_v cold_a without_o be_v a_o little_a more_o contract_v then_o before_o prob._n 37._o whence_o come_v it_o that_o many_o be_v in_o a_o frenzy_n have_v speak_v latin_a or_o greek_a without_o have_v ever_o learned_a either_o of_o these_o language_n many_o of_o those_o that_o have_v

to_o the_o report_n of_o those_o that_o have_v treat_v of_o they_o in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o suppose_v that_o the_o word_n which_o they_o have_v thus_o speak_v do_v not_o make_v any_o

methinks_v prove_v it_o plain_o enough_o it_o be_v that_o though_o at_o noon_n the_o sun_n be_v near_o to_o we_o and_o cast_v more_o direct_a ray_n on_o we_o than_o he_o do_v any_o time_n after_o yet_o those_o that_o travel_n in_o summer_n do_v perceive_v a_o more_o violent_a heat_n two_o or_o three_o hour_n afternoon_n then_o at_o noon_n itself_o the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v that_o at_o noon_n the_o moisture_n of_o the_o morning_n be_v not_o so_o well_o dry_v up_o either_o on_o the_o grass_n or_o the_o air_n or_o the_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v a_o while_n after_o this_o example_n be_v so_o put_v to_o the_o subject_n i_o apply_v it_o to_o the_o question_n in_o hand_n that_o there_o can_v be_v find_v any_o difference_n in_o it_o and_o it_o may_v serve_v well_o enough_o to_o prove_v what_o i_o say_v for_o as_o somebody_o have_v well_o observe_v the_o image_n of_o the_o four_o season_n of_o the_o year_n be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o one_o only_a day_n in_o which_o the_o morning_n by_o its_o moisture_n represent_v the_o spring_n noon_n and_o sometime_o after_o be_v like_o the_o summer_n solstice_n and_o the_o two_o month_n that_o follow_v it_o the_o evening_n to_o the_o autumn_n and_o the_o arrival_n of_o night_n to_o the_o arrival_n of_o winter_n now_o as_o this_o reason_n render_v the_o heat_n of_o august_n great_a it_o be_v manifest_a that_o withal_o it_o render_v it_o necessary_o more_o malign_a but_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v object_v that_o it_o be_v often_o more_o malignant_a than_o that_o of_o other_o month_n without_o be_v more_o violent_a i_o answer_v that_o this_o do_v not_o yet_o force_v we_o to_o fly_v to_o a_o secret_a cause_n for_o if_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o attribute_v this_o particular_a malignity_n to_o the_o influence_n of_o some_o star_n it_o will_v follow_v also_o that_o we_o must_v give_v influence_n to_o some_o other_o star_n for_o to_o render_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o particular_a malignity_n of_o the_o sun_n in_o march_n which_o as_o have_v a_o very_a feeble_a hear_v one_o will_v think_v shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o be_v hurtful_a and_o to_o engender_v so_o easy_o rheum_n and_o catarrh_n but_o to_o say_v the_o truth_n these_o two_o several_a malignity_n be_v the_o effect_n only_o of_o the_o course_n of_o the_o year_n and_o of_o two_o contrary_a extreme_n for_o the_o sun_n in_o march_n have_v something_o of_o malign_v and_o dangerous_a by_o reason_n of_o the_o great_a humidity_n it_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o earth_n nay_o and_o in_o our_o brain_n on_o which_o it_o act_v so_o weak_o that_o instead_o of_o dissolve_v it_o only_o dilate_v it_o and_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o sun_n in_o august_n be_v extraordinary_a hurtful_a through_o a_o excess_n of_o dryness_n which_o it_o find_v in_o the_o earth_n after_o it_o have_v endure_v the_o heat_n of_o a_o great_a part_n of_o summer_n and_o in_o our_o body_n which_o the_o same_o heat_n have_v dry_v it_o be_v this_o dryness_n which_o at_o this_o time_n dispose_v beast_n to_o madness_n though_o indeed_o dog_n run_v mad_a not_o only_o in_o august_n but_o also_o very_a often_o in_o the_o month_n of_o june_n and_o july_n or_o september_n which_o need_v not_o for_o this_o borrow_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o dog-star_n from_o this_o excessive_a dryness_n proceed_v likewise_o the_o weakness_n which_o we_o feel_v then_o in_o our_o body_n and_o the_o disposition_n which_o this_o season_n put_v we_o in_o to_o divers_a malady_n for_o every_o extreme_a be_v always_o nigh_o a_o evil_a and_o easy_o fall_v into_o one_o or_o rather_o be_v one_o itself_o to_o conclude_v if_o those_o that_o swim_v in_o this_o month_n do_v find_v that_o the_o water_n be_v more_o unwholesome_a than_o they_o be_v before_o a_o man_n may_v say_v it_o be_v because_o their_o more_o pure_a and_o subtle_a part_n have_v be_v exhale_v by_o the_o precedent_a heat_n and_o that_o what_o remain_v be_v gross_a and_o impure_a and_o i_o do_v not_o see_v that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n in_o this_o we_o shall_v need_v to_o attribute_v to_o the_o dog-star_n more_o than_o in_o the_o other_o thing_n we_o mention_v the_o end_n
