far_o as_o divers_a earthquake_n have_v do_v but_o that_o the_o fire_n pass_v through_o some_o little_a subterraneal_a cleft_n or_o channel_n or_o hide_a conveyance_n from_o one_o great_a cavity_n

though_o i_o former_o suspect_v much_o and_o do_v yet_o a_o little_a that_o the_o impulse_n of_o the_o air_n convey_v along_o the_o resist_a surface_n of_o the_o ground_n may_v main_o contribute_v
