envenom_a head_n of_o a_o serpent_n and_o babylonian_a dragon_n the_o cause_n why_o i_o have_v paint_v these_o two_o sperme_n in_o the_o form_n of_o dragon_n be_v because_o their_o stinch_v be_v

the_o force_n and_o stench_n thereof_o to_o mortify_v and_o kill_v every_o thing_n live_v the_o philosopher_n never_o feel_v this_o stinch_v if_o he_o break_v not_o his_o vessel_n but_o only_o he_o judge_v it_o to_o be_v such_o by_o the_o sight_n and_o the_o change_n of_o colour's_n proceed_v from_o the_o rottenness_n of_o his_o confection_n these_o colour_n then_o signify_v the_o putrefaction_n and_o generation_n which_o be_v give_v we_o by_o the_o bite_n and_o dissolution_n of_o our_o perfect_a body_n which_o dissolution_n proceed_v from_o external_a heat_n aid_v and_o from_o the_o pontic_a

the_o fire_n but_o thou_o must_v have_v a_o blackness_n which_o come_v of_o the_o perfect_a mettallicke_a body_n which_o last_v a_o long_a space_n of_o time_n and_o be_v not_o destroy_v in_o less_o than_o five_o month_n after_o the_o which_o follow_v immediate_o the_o desire_a whiteness_n if_o thou_o have_v this_o thou_o have_v enough_o but_o not_o all_o as_o for_o the_o colour_n bluish_a and_o

the_o rest_n then_o this_o blackness_n and_o these_o colour_n teach_v plain_o that_o in_o this_o beginning_n the_o matter_n and_o compound_n begin_v to_o rot_v and_o dissolve_v into_o powder_n less_o than_o the_o atom_n of_o the_o sun_n the_o which_o afterward_o be_v change_v into_o coator_n permanent_a and_o this_o dissolution_n be_v by_o the_o envious_a philosopher_n call_v death_n destruction_n
