such_o a_o thing_n that_o remove_v all_o corruption_n in_o these_o word_n but_o that_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o can_v remove_v all_o corruption_n and_o after_o he_o say_v that_o the_o say_v

tell_v not_o out_o of_o what_o thing_n it_o may_v be_v take_v unless_o that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v a_o substance_n most_o pure_a most_o precious_a and_o most_o subtle_a from_o a_o incorruptible_a

therefore_o to_o declare_v this_o text_n i_o will_v ground_v myself_o upon_o three_o principal_a part_n to_o the_o end_n that_o this_o most_o noble_a spirit_n may_v be_v find_v the_o first_o part_n

where_o he_o say_v in_o the_o five_o and_o last_o essence_n it_o appear_v in_o a_o glorify_a body_n etc._n etc._n in_o the_o first_o part_n shall_v be_v show_v that_o so_o as_o the_o text_n say_v this_o spirit_n be_v one_o thing_n among_o all_o thing_n that_o as_o yet_o the_o say_a spirit_n or_o quintessence_n be_v not_o find_v but_o in_o one_o only_a thing_n create_v by_o god_n according_a to_o the_o authority_n of_o all_o the_o philosopher_n who_o have_v write_v of_o this_o divine_a science_n who_o all_o do_v affirm_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o one_o only_a thing_n of_o the_o
