clear_a and_o thick_a the_o thick_a the_o better_o so_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o clean_o to_o discover_v the_o action_n which_o be_v within_o it_o let_v it_o not_o at_o all_o be_v thick_a in_o one_o

thou_o add_v three_o to_o one_o of_o the_o ☿_o yet_o the_o whole_a compound_v will_v be_v less_o than_o two_o ounce_n and_o this_o proportion_n be_v exquisite_a moreover_o unless_o the_o glass_n be_v strong_a it_o will_v not_o hold_v in_o the_o fire_n the_o wind_n which_o be_v in_o the_o vessel_n in_o the_o form_n of_o our_o embryo_n which_o will_v easy_o break_v a_o slight_a vessel_n let_v the_o
