she_o draw_v out_o of_o the_o element_n i_o shall_v explain_v myself_o to_o you_o by_o example_n a_o egg_n be_v the_o sperm_n or_o middle_a substance_n out_o of_o which_o a_o chick_n be_v engender_v and_o the_o moisture_n of_o it_o be_v viscous_a and_o slimy_a a_o water_n and_o no_o water_n for_o such_o a_o sperm_n ought_v to_o be_v suppose_v dr._n coale_n i_o mean_v some_o broiler_n have_v a_o

that_o destroy_v the_o body_n by_o consequence_n destroy_v the_o sperm_n now_o to_o reduce_v body_n into_o element_n of_o earth_n and_o water_n as_o we_o have_v instance_v in_o the_o egg_n be_v to_o

all_o that_o be_v requisite_a to_o the_o frame_n of_o the_o body_n wherefore_o be_v well_o advise_v before_o you_o distil_v and_o quarter_n any_o particular_a body_n for_o have_v once_o separate_v their_o element_n you_o may_v never_o generate_fw-la unless_o you_o can_v make_v a_o sperm_n of_o those_o element_n but_o that_o be_v impossible_a for_o man_n to_o do_v it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o

by_o separation_n but_o by_o composition_n of_o element_n and_o to_o bring_v a_o body_n into_o sperm_n be_v not_o to_o distil_v it_o but_o to_o reduce_v the_o whole_a into_o one_o thick_a water_n keep_v all_o the_o part_n thereof_o in_o their_o first_o natural_a union_n but_o that_o i_o may_v return_v at_o last_o to_o my_o former_a citation_n of_o the_o synod_n all_o those_o influence_n of_o
