country_n and_o kindred_n otter_n how_o be_v this_o i_o not_o only_o hear_v but_o i_o understand_v the_o voice_n of_o a_o man_n oimee_fw-fr i_o be_o afraid_a that_o morphandra_n have_v a_o purpose_n to_o re-transform_a i_o and_o make_v i_o put_v on_o human_a shape_n again_o well_o sir_n what_o be_v your_o will_v with_o i_o pererius_n let_v it_o not_o give_v any_o offence_n if_o i_o desire_v to_o

by_o my_o profession_n pererius_n well_o the_o most_o gracious_a queen_n morphandra_n have_v be_v please_v to_o promise_v i_o the_o favour_n as_o to_o turn_v you_o into_o man_n again_o if_o you_o

consult_v better_o with_o your_o thought_n for_o morphandra_n have_v not_o only_o promise_v to_o re-convert_a you_o to_o man_n but_o also_o she_o have_v give_v i_o leave_v and_o liberty_n to_o carry_v

to_o reduce_v i_o from_o better_a to_o worse_o for_o if_o experience_n be_v the_o touchstone_n of_o truth_n i_o find_v far_o more_o quietude_n and_o contentation_n in_o this_o figure_n of_o body_n than_o i_o do_v former_o therefore_o with_o this_o shape_n i_o have_v put_v on_o also_o a_o resolution_n never_o to_o turn_v man_n or_o mariner_n again_o pererius_n i_o extreme_o wonder_v at_o this_o

all_o these_o turbulence_n and_o perplexity_n of_o spirit_n proceed_v from_o the_o rational_a faculty_n but_o in_o compensation_n thereof_o we_o have_v by_o this_o faculty_n the_o prerogative_n to_o know_v our_o creator_n to_o contemplate_v his_o work_n and_o the_o fair_a fabric_n of_o the_o world_n by_o this_o we_o have_v a_o dominion_n and_o empire_n over_o all_o other_o elementary_a creture_n both_o of_o air_n earth_n and_o water_n by_o the_o reach_n of_o this_o man_n with_o his_o crampon_n and_o harping-iron_n can_v draw_v ashore_o the_o great_a leviathan_n he_o can_v make_v the_o

by_o your_o own_o profession_n when_o you_o be_v man_n and_o mariner_n otter_n yet_o these_o advantage_n come_v short_a in_o my_o judgement_n to_o countervail_v those_o calamity_n that_o be_v incident_a to_o the_o rational_a creture_n which_o make_v he_o come_v pule_v cry_v &_o sometime_o weep_v into_o the_o world_n as_o foretel_v his_o future_a misery_n but_o now_o that_o i_o have_v partly_o display_v the_o discomposure_n and_o vexation_n of_o his_o mind_n i_o will_v give_v a_o touch_n of_o those_o infirmity_n that_o his_o body_n be_v subject_a unto_o which_o be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o magazine_n of_o malignant_a humour_n a_o hull_n wherein_o be_v stow_v a_o cargazon_n of_o numberless_a disease_n of_o putrid_a and_o ugly_a corruption_n insomuch_o that_o as_o in_o his_o life_n time_n while_o he_o sleep_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o his_o cause_n within_o the_o womb_n there_o be_v no_o creture_n lie_v near_o the_o excrementitious_a part_n so_o there_o be_v none_o who_o excrement_n be_v more_o fetid_a and_o stink_a the_o fewmet_n of_o a_o deer_n the_o lesses_z of_o a_o fox_n the_o crotell_n of_o a_o hare_n the_o dung_n of_o a_o horse_n and_o the_o spraint_n that_o i_o use_v to_o void_a backward_o be_v nothing_o so_o foetid_v which_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n why_o after_o man_n death_n there_o be_v no_o carcase_n so_o ghastly_a and_o noisome_a as_o he_o so_o that_o toad_n and_o serpent_n engender_v often_o in_o his_o scull_n nor_o be_v his_o cadaver_n good_a for_o any_o thing_n when_o life_n be_v go_v it_o be_v true_a mummy_n may_v be_v make_v of_o it_o but_o it_o must_v be_v do_v by_o embalment_n and_o great_a expense_n of_o spice_n but_o many_o thing_n in_o our_o carcase_n after_o death_n serve_v for_o divers_a use_n as_o particular_o in_o i_o my_o

variety_n of_o viand_n esculent_n and_o beverage_n not_o from_o the_o primitive_a plastic_a virtue_n and_o ordinance_n of_o nature_n moreover_o that_o which_o make_v they_o so_o subject_a to_o
