that_o all_o natural_a body_n be_v produce_v but_o from_o one_o principle_n which_o be_v water_n for_o all_o vegetable_n mineral_n and_o animal_n say_v they_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o simple_a water_n distinguish_v into_o various_a figure_n by_o the_o virtue_n of_o their_o seed_n but_o after_o a_o great_a many_o debate_n and_o contention_n about_o this_o subject_a the_o empress_n be_v so_o much_o tire_v that_o she_o be_v not_o able_a to_o hear_v they_o any_o long_o impose_v a_o general_a silence_n upon_o they_o and_o then_o declare_v herself_o in_o this_o follow_a discourse_n i_o be_o too_o sensible_a of_o the_o pain_n you_o have_v take_v in_o the_o art_n of_o chemistry_n to_o discover_v the_o principle_n of_o natural_a body_n and_o wish_v they_o have_v be_v more_o profitable_o bestow_v upon_o some_o other_o than_o such_o experiment_n for_o both_o by_o my_o own_o contemplation_n and_o the_o observation_n which_o i_o have_v make_v by_o rational_a &_o sensitive_a perception_n upon_o nature_n and_o her_o work_n i_o find_v that_o nature_n be_v but_o one_o infinite_a self-moving_a body_n which_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o its_o self-motion_n be_v divide_v into_o infinite_a part_n which_o part_n be_v restless_a undergo_v perpetual_a change_n and_o transmutation_n by_o their_o infinite_a composition_n and_o division_n now_o if_o this_o be_v so_o as_o sure_o according_a to_o regular_a sense_n and_o reason_n it_o appear_v no_o otherwise_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o look_v for_o primary_n ingredient_n or_o constitutive_a principle_n of_o natural_a body_n since_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o one_o universal_a principle_n of_o nature_n to_o wit_n self-moving_a matter_n which_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o all_o natural_a effect_n next_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o consider_v that_o fire_n be_v but_o a_o particular_a creature_n or_o effect_v of_o nature_n and_o occasion_n not_o only_o different_a effect_n in_o several_a body_n but_o on_o some_o body_n have_v no_o power_n at_o all_o witness_v gold_n which_o never_o can_v be_v bring_v yet_o to_o change_v its_o interior_a figure_n by_o the_o art_n of_o fire_n and_o if_o this_o be_v so_o why_o shall_v you_o be_v so_o simple_a as_o to_o believe_v that_o fire_n can_v show_v you_o the_o principle_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o either_o the_o four_o element_n or_o water_n only_o or_o salt_n sulphur_n and_o mercury_n all_o which_o be_v no_o more_o but_o particular_a effect_n and_o creature_n of_o nature_n shall_v be_v the_o primitive_a ingredient_n or_o principle_n of_o all_o natural_a body_n wherefore_o i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o to_o take_v more_o pain_n and_o waste_v your_o time_n in_o such_o fruitless_a attempt_n but_o be_v wise_a hereafter_o and_o busy_v yourselves_o with_o such_o experiment_n as_o may_v be_v beneficial_a to_o the_o public_a the_o empress_n have_v thus_o declare_v her_o mind_n to_o the_o ape-man_n and_o give_v they_o better_a instruction_n than_o perhaps_o they_o expect_v not_o know_v that_o her_o majesty_n have_v such_o great_a and_o able_a judgement_n in_o natural_a philosophy_n have_v several_a conference_n with_o they_o concern_v chemical_a
