count_v for_o number_n be_v only_a mark_n of_o remembrance_n but_o what_o do_v you_o think_v of_o the_o number_n of_o four_o say_v she_o which_o cabalist_n make_v such_o ado_n withal_o and_o of_o the_o number_n of_o ten_o when_o they_o say_v that_o ten_o be_v all_o and_o that_o all_o number_n be_v virtual_o comprehend_v in_o four_o we_o think_v answer_v they_o that_o cabalist_n have_v

any_o other_o mystery_n in_o number_n but_o what_o man_n fancy_n make_v but_o what_o man_n call_v prime_a or_o all_o we_o do_v not_o know_v because_o they_o do_v not_o agree_v in_o the_o number_n of_o their_o opinion_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v whether_o the_o number_n of_o six_o be_v a_o symbol_n of_o matrimony_n as_o be_v make_v up_o of_o male_a and_o female_a for_o two_o into_o three_o be_v six_o if_o any_o number_n can_v be_v a_o symbol_n of_o matrimony_n answer_v the_o spirit_n it_o be_v not_o six_o but_o two_o if_o two_o may_v be_v allow_v to_o be_v a_o number_n for_o the_o act_n of_o

reply_v the_o empress_n than_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o refer_v the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n to_o certain_a number_n as_o cabalist_n do_v the_o only_a mystery_n of_o number_n answer_v they_o

than_o it_o be_v probable_a the_o sun_n star_n and_o planet_n be_v so_o too_o nay_o it_o be_v more_o probable_a of_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n then_o of_o the_o heaven_n or_o the_o fluid_a aether_n by_o reason_n the_o star_n and_o planet_n seem_v to_o be_v further_o off_o from_o mortality_n than_o the_o particular_a part_n of_o the_o aether_n for_o no_o doubt_n but_o the_o part_n of_o the_o
