A57186 A discourse upon prodigious abstinence occasioned by the twelve moneths fasting of Martha Taylor, the famed Derbyshire damosell : proving that without any miracle, the texture of humane bodies may be so altered, that life may be long continued without the supplies of meat & drink : with an account of the heart, and how far it is interessed in the business of fermentation / by John Reynolds ... Reynolds, John, of Kings-Norton. 1669 (1669) Wing R1314; ESTC R10543 24,717 44

to_o these_o be_v the_o presumer_n that_o the_o faster_n be_v dead_a and_o act_v by_o daemon_n but_o this_o notion_n be_v also_o incongruous_a not_o only_o to_o their_o transmigration_n from_o feed_v

for_o the_o admirer_n of_o occult_a philosophy_n who_o resolve_v these_o phrase_n into_o the_o effect_n of_o occult_a quality_n we_o only_o repose_v that_o though_o a_o antipathy_n to_o this_o or_o
