indeed_o heat_n and_o siccity_n be_v enemy_n to_o putrefaction_n therefore_o where_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n which_o be_v proper_o moist_a be_v exclude_v there_o the_o body_n remain_v unputrify_v hence_o the_o body_n which_o be_v dig_v out_o of_o the_o hot_a and_o dry_a sand_n in_o egypt_n have_v there_o continue_v many_o hundred_o of_o year_n uncorrupted_a alexander_n body_n lie_v many_o

and_o fragrant_a wine_n there_o be_v also_o some_o wine_n that_o preserve_v dead_a body_n uncorruptible_a by_o reason_n of_o their_o cold_a and_o exsiccate_a quality_n so_o we_o read_v in_o the_o

it_o be_v also_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o that_o body_n thunderstruck_a do_v not_o putrify_v i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v that_o either_o they_o putrify_v not_o at_o all_o or_o not_o in_o a_o long_a time_n because_o of_o the_o exsiccate_a quality_n of_o the_o sulphurous_a vapour_n which_o come_v from_o the_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n but_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o apt_a to_o preserve_v dead_a body_n from_o corruption_n than_o the_o juice_n of_o cedar_n therefore_o much_o use_v among_o the_o ancient_n both_o in_o preserve_v of_o their_o book_n and_o body_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o extreme_a bitterness_n and_o driing_a quality_n give_v life_n to_o the_o dead_a and_o death_n to_o the_o live_n extinguish_v the_o temporary_a life_n of_o the_o body_n and_o in_o recompense_n give_v it_o immortality_n so_o then_o we_o see_v that_o siccity_n be_v the_o main_a enemy_n to_o putrefaction_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n the_o peacock_n fl●sh_n be_v not_o for_n apt_a

which_o breed_v much_o blood_n and_o humour_n be_v apt_a to_o putrify_v then_o those_o who_o feed_v spare_o on_o hard_a and_o dry_a meat_n in_o the_o siege_n of_o amida_n by_o sapor_n the_o persian_a
