virtue_n whereby_o man_n awake_v no_o more_o nor_o look_v after_o the_o find_n and_o search_v out_o of_o true_a cause_n but_o acquiesce_v and_o lie_v still_o in_o these_o idle_a way_n then_o it_o

that_o do_v not_o ill_o agree_v with_o their_o opinion_n namely_o that_o we_o hold_v two_o of_o they_o to_o wit_n sulphur_n and_o mercury_n take_v according_o to_o our_o sense_n to_o be_v very_o

of_o both_o nature_n sulphurous_a and_o salt_n and_o the_o very_a rudiment_n of_o life_n itself_o we_o have_v think_v fit_v to_o comprehend_v it_o also_o within_o this_o history_n and_o inquisition_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n we_o give_v you_o notice_n that_o those_o spiritual_a thing_n air_n water_n star_n and_o sky_n we_o do_v as_o they_o very_o well_o deserve_v it_o reserve_v they_o for_o
