and_o temper_n he_o the_o stream_n of_o water_n as_o we_o have_v say_v must_v run_v through_o the_o whole_a fabric_n of_o this_o triformed_a plant_n and_o because_o it_o be_v not_o a_o simple_a

for_o first_o let_v we_o cast_v about_o how_o this_o compound_n of_o several_a part_n that_o serve_v for_o the_o generation_n of_o a_o new_a live_a creature_n can_v be_v gather_v from_o every_o part_n

he_o she_o forebore_n the_o use_n of_o that_o meat_n which_o to_o she_o be_v the_o most_o savoury_a of_o all_o other_o and_o the_o like_a i_o know_v in_o england_n between_o two_o whereof_o the_o one_o do_v extreme_o love_v cheese_n and_o the_o other_o as_o much_o hate_v it_o and_o will_v fall_v into_o a_o strange_a agony_n and_o be_v reduce_v one_o will_v think_v to_o the_o point_n of_o

not_o only_o such_o aversion_n as_o spring_v from_o difference_n of_o complexion_n in_o the_o constitution_n of_o several_a animal_n do_v cause_n these_o effect_n of_o fear_n and_o of_o tremble_v and_o of_o fly_v from_o those_o that_o do_v make_v such_o impression_n but_o even_o the_o see_v they_o angry_a and_o in_o fury_n do_v the_o like_a for_o such_o passion_n do_v alter_v the_o spirit_n

among_o dog_n and_o peradventure_o a_o man_n fantasy_n may_v be_v raise_v to_o such_o a_o height_n of_o fury_n that_o the_o fierce_a beast_n may_v be_v afraid_a to_o look_v upon_o he_o and_o can_v
