element_n now_o after_o that_o i_o have_v declare_v and_o open_v the_o sect_n and_o opynion_n of_o the_o mooste_o noble_a and_o moo_v ancient_a physician_n i_o i_o think_v it_o very_o meet_a to_o

the_o signification_n of_o this_o word_n elementum_fw-la which_o we_o may_v very_o well_o call_v in_o our_o tongue_n a_o beginning_n of_o any_o thing_n and_o thereof_o it_o come_v you_o to_o the_o alphabete_a letter_n be_v call_v element_n because_o they_o be_v beginner_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o language_n &_o the_o principle_n also_o of_o every_o art_n be_v call_v element_n because_o they_o be_v begynners_n of_o the_o same_o the_o physician_n also_o do_v call_v the_o vein_n pulse_n and_o bone_n which_o to_o all_o other_o such_o part_n as_o the_o latin_a man_n call_v similares_fw-la sensible_a element_n because_o they_o be_v the_o first_o beginner_n of_o man_n body_n as_o moche_v as_o may_v be_v perceyve_v by_o sense_n for_o the_o fire_n air_n water_n and_o earth_n of_o the_o which_o all_o thing_n under_o the_o moon_n be_v make_v can_v not_o be_v perceyve_v by_o any_o sense_n wherefore_o as_o they_o be_v y_fw-fr e_fw-la first_o begynners_n of_o man_n body_n so_o they_o be_v not_o the_o first_o sensyble_a begynners_n for_o if_o they_o can_v be_v perceyve_v by_o sense_n than_o everye_o man_n as_o he_o pass_v other_o in_o quycknesse_n of_o sense_n so_o shall_v he_o see_v and_z feal_z moo_v fine_a element_n as_o the_o eagle_n because_o his_o sight_n be_v moo_v perfyte_n shall_v easely_o perceyve_v the_o least_o element_n but_o percase_o some_o will_v say_v unto_o i_o that_o there_o be_v no_o man_n so_o mad_a to_o say_v that_o the_o fire_n air_n earth_n and_o water_n can_v not_o be_v feel_v and_o perceyve_v by_o sense_n but_o whosoever_o shall_v move_v this_o doubt_n i_o will_v answer_v he_o of_o this_o fassyon_n that_o if_o he_o mean_v our_o fire_n our_o water_n or_o our_o earth_n i_o will_v say_v as_o he_o say_v which_o be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v feel_v and_o perceyve_v by_o sense_n for_o in_o deed_n they_o be_v no_o element_n but_o thing_n mix_v and_o corruptyble_a have_v their_o composition_n of_o dyverse_a thing_n where_o as_o the_o pure_a element_n be_v a_o body_n moo_v simple_a without_o all_o generation_n or_o corruption_n now_o be_v it_o of_o fire_n make_v thick_a come_v air_n and_o of_o air_n make_v thick_a come_v water_n and_o of_o water_n make_v thick_a come_v earth_n and_o yet_o here_o be_v neither_o corruption_n nor_o yet_o generation_n of_o the_o whole_a for_o this_o be_v a_o mutation_n of_o the_o part_n only_o then_o as_o i_o say_v before_o elementum_fw-la in_o this_o signification_n be_v a_o body_n moo_v pure_a and_o simple_a and_o the_o least_fw-mi part_n of_o the_o same_o wherein_o it_o be_v which_o can_v not_o be_v divide_v into_o any_o other_o kind_n and_o of_o it_o all_o thing_n natural_a have_v their_o original_a beginning_n this_o definition_n be_v take_v both_o out_o of_o galen_n and_o aristotle_n therefore_o i_o trust_v no_o man_n will_v be_v so_o impudent_a to_o contrary_n or_o impugn_v it_o and_o there_o be_v also_o as_o be_v aforesaid_a four_o element_n of_o the_o which_o the_o fire_n be_v
