without_o burn_v and_o sometime_o stain_v and_o black_v by_o the_o touch_n without_o burn_v and_o sometime_o burn_v both_o house_n and_o barn_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o first_o be_v the_o vehemency_n

the_o exhalation_n for_o that_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o substance_n more_o thick_a do_v strong_a burn_v even_o as_o it_o may_v appear_v in_o the_o iron_n red_a hot_a but_o in_o the_o matter_n lesser_a or_o not_o so_o thick_a it_o lesser_a burn_v as_o may_v appear_v in_o the_o tow_n 6._o the_o lightning_n poison_v beast_n strike_v even_o like_o the_o bit_n of_o a_o serpent_n and_o mad_a dog_n in_o that_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o same_o lightning_n be_v brimstonie_a and_o venomous_a 7._o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v marvel_v at_o which_o seneca_n report_v as_o that_o wine_n vessel_n to_o be_v

intoxicate_a the_o wine_n strike_v that_o the_o drinker_n of_o it_o either_o die_v or_o become_v frantic_a and_o mad_a the_o same_o be_v cause_v through_o the_o infective_a nature_n of_o the_o lightning_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o astonish_n of_o the_o wine_n be_v the_o hasty_a alteration_n by_o which_o the_o whole_a clamminess_n of_o the_o wine_n be_v draw_v forth_o into_o the_o

person_n sleep_a do_v open_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o sléeper_n but_o of_o the_o person_n then_o wake_v or_o awake_a it_o shut_v the_o eye_n the_o cause_n of_o which_o be_v in_o that_o the_o lightning_n cause_v the_o sléeper_n to_o awake_v but_o the_o person_n awake_a it_o astonish_v in_o such_o manner_n that_o he_o shall_v soon_o die_v then_o that_o he_o can_v open_v the_o eye_n again_o for_o the_o time_n as_o the_o ancient_a report_n 9_o the_o person_n strike_v and_o touch_v with_o the_o lightning_n do_v after_o turn_v the_o head_n and_o face_n toward_o the_o stroke_n from_o whence_o the_o lightning_n come_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o do_v albertus_n magnus_n here_o show_v in_o that_o the_o force_n of_o the_o stroke_n come_v convert_v or_o tourn_v the_o strike_a body_n toward_o the_o

harm_v the_o youngling_n in_o the_o mother_n womb_n the_o mother_n remain_v unharmed_a the_o cause_n of_o which_o be_v the_o tenderness_n of_o the_o youngling_n and_o strength_n of_o the_o mother_n as_o by_o a_o like_a example_n afore_o utter_v of_o the_o noble_a woman_n martia_n of_o rome_n 11._o a_o dead_a serpent_n strike_v with_o lightning_n become_v full_a of_o worm_n which_o otherwise_o happen_v not_o to_o it_o alive_a the_o cause_n be_v in_o that_o through_o the_o lightning_n it_o be_v purge_v of_o the_o proper_a poison_n which_o also_o be_v of_o a_o other_o nature_n than_o the_o lightning_n so_o that_o the_o same_o then_o hinder_v not_o the_o procreation_n of_o worm_n 12._o the_o lightning_n sometime_o burn_v and_o consume_v the_o garment_n on_o the_o body_n yea_o the_o shoe_n on_o the_o foot_n many_o time_n it_o only_o burn_v the_o hair_n on_o the_o head_n without_o harm_n of_o the_o body_n which_o be_v cause_v through_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o exhalation_n but_o this_o sometime_o kill_v a_o man_n without_o any_o hurt_n or_o mark_v appear_v or_o any_o sign_n of_o burn_a the_o same_o cause_v through_o the_o subtleness_n of_o the_o exhalation_n which_o
