thirty_o nine_o thousand_o six_o hundred_o thirty_o six_o day_n in_o which_o i_o compute_v the_o bissextile_a day_n and_o if_o those_o day_n be_v account_v by_o hour_n and_o those_o hour_n by_o

death_n give_v life_n to_o multitude_n of_o vermin_n they_o by_o corruption_n enrich_v the_o earth_n the_o earth_n by_o that_o fertility_n afford_v we_o food_n that_o food_n support_v life_n and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o circulation_n of_o generation_n and_o corruption_n and_o those_o possibility_n be_v in_o either_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o judge_v which_o be_v live_v which_o die_v and_o it_o be_v not_o only_o thus_o in_o terrestrial_n but_o even_o in_o celestial_n the_o day_n die_v the_o night_n produce_v another_o that_o die_v again_o and_o so_o in_o those_o glorious_a creature_n in_o the_o

of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n into_o million_o of_o form_n we_o to_o support_v our_o belief_n in_o the_o union_n of_o our_o part_n seek_v after_o the_o progress_v and_o inclination_n of_o

place_n that_o experiment_n of_o revive_v a_o plant_n out_o of_o its_o ash_n be_v a_o noble_a piece_n of_o chemistry_n medici_n dr._n brown_n religio_fw-la medici_n and_o serve_v well_o to_o this_o

but_o the_o virtue_n and_o perfection_n of_o nature_n fix_v indeed_o if_o we_o can_v find_v out_o by_o art_n a_o revivification_n of_o vegetable_n in_o all_o their_o accident_n we_o shall_v make_v immortality_n too_o common_a it_o be_v enough_o if_o a_o man_n can_v make_v any_o experimental_a inducement_n to_o his_o faith_n and_o give_v a_o imitation_n to_o future_a perfection_n the_o whole_a art_n of_o chemistry_n what_o be_v it_o as_o i_o conceive_v but_o to_o dissolve_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o creature_n and_o to_o recollect_v it_o again_o if_o not_o into_o its_o superfluous_a accident_n yet_o into_o a_o noble_a evidence_n of_o its_o virtue_n and_o this_o be_v do_v not_o so_o much_o by_o the_o force_n of_o art_n as_o by_o the_o secret_a instinct_n and_o greediness_n of_o its_o own_o disposition_n to_o unite_v its_o scatter_a nature_n and_o that_o which_o be_v worthy_a of_o obfervation_n for_o our_o use_n in_o this_o art_n be_v let_v the_o gross_a body_n of_o any_o

may_v by_o art_n be_v make_v to_o represent_v the_o form_n of_o itself_o whilst_o it_o have_v a_o entire_a be_v this_o may_v be_v see_v from_o the_o distillation_n of_o plant_n that_o be_v the_o

of_o rosemary_n and_o this_o may_v be_v more_o easy_o illustrate_v by_o another_o experiment_n about_o the_o spring_n time_n when_o the_o bark_n begin_v to_o run_v take_v a_o young_a ash_n and_o see_v it_o off_o about_o a_o foot_n from_o the_o ground_n then_o make_v a_o concave_a hole_n in_o it_o and_o cover_v it_o and_o the_o sappy_a juice_n or_o blood_n of_o it_o will_v rise_v up_o and_o fill_v the_o hole_n then_o lave_v out_o so_o much_o water_n as_o rise_v in_o it_o and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o glass_n and_o stop_v the_o glass_n as_o chemist_n do_v by_o close_v the_o metal_n of_o the_o

with_o which_o god_n then_o endue_v all_o vegetable_n make_v they_o conspicuable_a to_o man_n which_o before_o be_v not_o and_o by_o this_o we_o may_v judge_n of_o the_o rational_a and_o vegetative_a

be_v mean_v a_o misty_a and_o waterish_a humour_n if_o with_o reverence_n we_o may_v so_o conceive_v of_o the_o divine_a breath_n or_o according_a to_o my_o former_a opinion_n be_v uncertain_a but_o if_o either_o than_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o one_o may_v well_o advance_v the_o belief_n of_o the_o other_o and_o if_o this_o experiment_n shall_v hold_v in_o man_n body_n as_o in_o vegetable_n how_o easy_a be_v it_o to_o conceive_v the_o manner_n of_o man_n resurrection_n when_o by_o god_n chemistry_n the_o essence_n of_o each_o man_n in_o a_o instant_n represent_v to_o god_n or_o to_o man_n be_v make_v capable_a of_o such_o a_o sight_n the_o true_a effigy_n and_o proportion_n of_o his_o body_n and_o in_o this_o notion_n why_o may_v not_o i_o make_v use_n of_o that_o metaphorical_a speech_n of_o david_n put_v my_o tear_n into_o thy_o bottle_n o_o lord_n which_o tear_n be_v the_o tear_n of_o compunction_n and_o sorrow_n for_o sin_n proceed_v from_o a_o contrite_a heart_n and_o a_o devout_a brain_n not_o from_o the_o redundancy_n of_o a_o salt_n humour_n so_o that_o i_o may_v call_v such_o tear_n the_o very_a liquor_n of_o life_n now_o whether_o such_o cordial_a tear_n if_o they_o be_v put_v into_o a_o glass_n will_v represent_v man_n david_n that_o understand_v the_o secret_n of_o god_n know_v best_o and_o the_o experiment_n be_v not_o unworthy_a the_o trial_n by_o a_o penitent_n christian_n to_o weep_v till_o he_o see_v himself_o in_o his_o own_o tear_n but_o because_o there_o be_v seldom_o in_o man_n that_o true_a distillation_n or_o extract_v of_o tear_n which_o there_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o experiment_n may_v be_v fallible_a but_o that_o which_o may_v more_o easy_o be_v try_v be_v to_o take_v a_o starling_n and_o cover_v it_o with_o two_o wooden_a hollow_a dish_n and_o it_o will_v weep_v itself_o to_o death_n and_o that_o liquor_n be_v a_o fit_a subject_n for_o the_o experiment_n of_o sensitive_a soul_n till_o we_o can_v meet_v with_o a_o more_o certain_a one_o for_o the_o rational_a but_o to_o go_v a_o little_a further_o with_o some_o notion_n or_o fancy_n concern_v our_o resurrection_n if_o by_o a_o cabalistical_a geometry_n it_o can_v be_v find_v out_o how_o many_o humane_a body_n the_o earth_n can_v afford_v out_o of_o its_o bulk_n of_o which_o man_n body_n be_v at_o first_o be_v still_o and_o shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v remake_v allow_v to_o each_o humane_a body_n such_o a_o proportion_n of_o its_o mould_n or_o dust_n as_o will_v make_v it_o suitable_a to_o the_o most_o perfect_a pattern_n for_o the_o best_a divine_n hold_v we_o shall_v rise_v with_o perfect_a body_n and_o of_o such_o perfect_a dimension_n as_o i_o have_v write_v in_o a_o former_a chapter_n in_o this_o book_n i_o believe_v the_o general_a resurrection_n may_v then_o be_v know_v if_o also_o by_o a_o historical_a account_n it_o may_v be_v give_v in_o how_o many_o such_o part_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v be_v already_o inform_v by_o soul_n and_o how_o much_o still_o remain_v to_o be_v inform_v but_o because_o art_n may_v be_v fallible_a in_o so_o great_a a_o work_n of_o fancy_n we_o must_v submit_v to_o faith_n by_o which_o i_o believe_v that_o when_o the_o whole_a earth_n shall_v be_v dispose_v into_o body_n that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o general_n resurrection_n will_v follow_v and_o that_o when_o heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v pass_v

celestial_a orb_n which_o shall_v be_v their_o heaven_n this_o kind_n of_o resurrection_n or_o resumption_n of_o our_o earth_n do_v not_o cross_v the_o scripture_n but_o confirm_v they_o which_o say_v the_o earth_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o and_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v consume_v by_o fire_n for_o by_o this_o resumption_n or_o transformation_n the_o earth_n shall_v as_o it_o be_v be_v turn_v into_o nothing_o because_o its_o part_n shall_v become_v another_o thing_n and_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n that_o fire_n shall_v do_v this_o for_o we_o see_v how_o metal_n will_v admit_v several_a

can_v easy_o believe_v that_o each_o body_n though_o divide_v into_o million_o of_o part_n in_o the_o general_a conflagration_n will_v run_v nimble_o through_o all_o medium_n to_o that_o soul_n which_o once_o in_o one_o bulk_n they_o own_a and_o which_o i_o still_o believe_v with_o a_o diffusive_a virtue_n constant_o hover_v over_o it_o in_o its_o dissection_n and_o in_o this_o dissolution_n

this_o charcoal_n be_v make_v of_o the_o withy-tree_n which_o grow_v frequent_o in_o worcestershire_n where_o i_o first_o observe_v it_o and_o from_o thence_o when_o the_o iron_n be_v let_v forth_o

that_o which_o give_v a_o more_o delicate_a relish_n to_o the_o soul_n be_v another_o trivial_a experiment_n that_o if_o a_o combustible_a matter_n be_v join_v to_o that_o which_o be_v not_o so_o
