mineral_n nor_o mineral_n like_o the_o perception_n of_o element_n for_o though_o all_o these_o several_a kind_n and_o sort_n be_v perceptive_a yet_o not_o after_o one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n or_o

draw_v many_o several_a way_n into_z different_z and_o several_a sort_n of_o figure_n without_o break_v the_o circle_n also_o it_o may_v be_v contract_v or_o extend_v into_o a_o less_o or_o wide_a

flower_n and_o never_o dissolve_v the_o circular_a line_n but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o there_o may_v be_v several_a sort_n of_o circular_a line_n as_o some_o broad_a some_o narrow_a some_o round_n some_o flat_a some_o ragged_a or_o twist_v some_o smooth_a some_o point_v some_o edge_v and_o number_n of_o the_o like_a and_o yet_o the_o compass_n be_v exact_o round_a but_o some_o may_v say_v that_o when_o a_o circle_n be_v draw_v into_o several_a work_n it_o be_v not_o a_o circle_n as_o for_o example_n when_o a_o circle_n be_v square_v it_o be_v not_o a_o circle_n but_o a_o

alter_v it_o be_v a_o natural_a circle_n although_o it_o shall_v be_v put_v into_o a_o mathematical_a square_n but_o to_o conclude_v this_o chapter_n i_o say_v that_o all_o such_o sort_n of_o figure_n that_o be_v like_o circular_a line_n of_o one_o piece_n may_v change_v and_o rechange_v their_o exterior_a figure_n or_o shape_v without_o any_o alteration_n of_o their_o interior_n property_n chap._n

exterior_a nature_n be_v occasion_v by_o the_o excess_n of_o those_o exterior_a action_n to_o alter_v their_o retentive_a action_n than_o metal_n turn_v to_o that_o we_o name_n dross_n and_o as_o
