about_o five_o hour_n on_o the_o second_o day_n a_o great_a number_n rise_v again_o out_o of_o the_o water_n and_o fly_v and_o die_v the_o same_o day_n and_o so_o on_o the_o three_o day_n and_o then_o all_o cease_v till_o the_o same_o season_n the_o next_o follow_v year_n the_o truth_n hereof_o be_v know_v to_o many_o person_n who_o live_v near_o those_o river_n who_o see_v the_o same_o yearly_a yet_o i_o have_v see_v they_o also_o fly_v the_o four_o day_n but_o in_o no_o great_a number_n as_o on_o the_o five_o day_n also_o and_o therefore_o i_o judge_v these_o worm_n be_v late_a fit_v for_o flight_n than_o those_o that_o fly_v before_o or_o be_v let_v by_o sickness_n or_o otherwise_o as_o also_o that_o those_o which_o appear_v soon_o be_v soon_o fit_v for_o their_o flight_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n i_o see_v not_o but_o that_o the_o ephemeron_n may_v appear_v some_o few_o day_n soon_o or_o late_a than_o the_o precise_a time_n for_o that_o by_o experience_n it_o be_v find_v that_o they_o sometime_o appear_v about_o 14_o day_n soon_o or_o late_a according_a as_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n be_v more_o or_o less_o agreeable_a the_o other_o sort_n of_o infect_v have_v
