mineral_n nor_o mineral_n like_o the_o perception_n of_o element_n for_o though_o all_o these_o several_a kind_n and_o sort_n be_v perceptive_a yet_o not_o after_o one_o and_o the_o same_o way_n or_o

that_o it_o be_v somewhat_o like_o the_o stomach_n of_o a_o human_a creature_n or_o of_o the_o like_a animal_n that_o can_v open_v and_o shut_v the_o orifice_n and_o that_o when_o a_o animal_n creature_n be_v put_v into_o the_o restoring-bed_n it_o will_v immediate_o enclose_v the_o animal_n and_o when_o it_o have_v cause_v a_o perfect_a restoration_n the_o restoring-bed_n will_v open_v itself_o and_o deliver_v it_o to_o its_o own_o liberty_n xi_o another_o question_n among_o the_o part_n of_o my_o mind_n concern_v restoring-bed_n or_o womb_n be_v that_o in_o case_n there_o be_v such_o restoring-bed_n in_o nature_n as_o in_o all_o probability_n there_o be_v where_o can_v those_o restoring-bed_n be_v viz._n whether_o there_o be_v any_o in_o this_o world_n if_o not_o in_o this_o world_n in_o any_o other_o world_n the_o minor_a part_n be_v of_o opinion_n there_o be_v none_o in_o this_o world_n but_o that_o there_o be_v some_o in_o other_o world_n the_o major_a part_n be_v opinion_n be_v that_o there_o be_v such_o bed_n but_o that_o human_a creature_n will_v not_o know_v they_o though_o they_o can_v perceive_v they_o nor_o if_o they_o can_v perceive_v they_o can_v they_o tell_v how_o to_o make_v use_n of_o they_o at_o last_o they_o all_o agree_v that_o those_o restoring-bed_n be_v in_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n but_o where_o the_o centre_n be_v no_o human_a creature_n no_o not_o the_o most_o subtle_a and_o learned_a mathematician_n geometrician_n or_o astrologer_n can_v with_o their_o most_o laborious_a art_n and_o subtle_a observation_n know_v and_o therefore_o unless_o by_o a_o special_a decree_n from_o god_n no_o such_o restoration_n can_v be_v make_v xii_o the_o part_n of_o my_o mind_n be_v very_o studious_a to_o conceive_v where_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n be_v some_o of_o the_o part_n of_o my_o mind_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v four_o centre_n viz._n a_o centre_n in_o the_o earth_n a_o centre_n in_o the_o air_n a_o centre_n in_o the_o sea_n and_o a_o centre_n in_o the_o element_n of_o fire_n upon_o which_o opinion_n the_o part_n of_o my_o mind_n divide_v into_o minor_n and_o major_a part_n the_o minor_a part_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v centre_n in_o all_o the_o four_o elemental_a part_n and_o that_o the_o restoring-bed_n be_v only_o of_o four_o kind_n but_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v many_o several_a sort_n of_o each_o particular_a kind_a and_o that_o each_o particular_a kind_a with_o all_o the_o several_a sort_n be_v produce_v in_o each_o particular_a elemental_a centre_n the_o major_a part_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o there_o may_v be_v infinite_a centre_n if_o there_o be_v infinite_a world_n also_o there_o may_v be_v many_o centre_n in_o this_o world_n for_o every_o round_a globe_n have_v a_o centre_n but_o their_o opinion_n concern_v the_o restoring-bed_n be_v that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o globe_n of_o our_o whole_a world_n and_o not_o of_o any_o of_o the_o part_n of_o the_o world_n for_o the_o air_n can_v have_v but_o a_o uncertain_a centre_n neither_o can_v the_o water_n have_v a_o very_a solid_a centre_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v too_o solid_a to_o have_v a_o centre_n consist_v of_o the_o four_o kind_n of_o element_n neither_o can_v the_o elemental_a fire_n have_v such_o a_o centre_n as_o to_o breed_v such_o different_a kind_n and_o sort_n of_o bed_n as_o the_o restoring-bed_n be_v because_o many_o of_o they_o be_v quite_o of_o a_o different_a nature_n from_o the_o nature_n of_o elemental_a fire_n wherefore_o it_o must_v be_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n which_o must_v consist_v of_o all_o the_o elemental_a kind_n xiii_o after_o the_o former_a argument_n the_o part_n of_o my_o mind_n be_v very_o studious_a in_o conceive_v where_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o whole_a universe_n of_o this_o our_o world_n may_v be_v at_o last_o they_o all_o agree_v it_o be_v the_o sea_n which_o be_v the_o watery_a element_n for_o the_o sea_n be_v enclose_v with_o the_o airy_a fiery_n and_o earthy_a part_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o therefore_o must_v be_v the_o centre_n and_o though_o the_o sea_n be_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o centre_n of_o the_o sea_n so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o centre_n in_o a_o centre_n in_o which_o centre_n be_v the_o restoring-bed_n fourteen_o after_o the_o former_a conception_n the_o part_n of_o my_o mind_n be_v very_o studious_a to_o conceive_v where_o the_o centre_n be_v centre_n may_v be_v but_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o conceive_v it_o by_o reason_n they_o can_v not_o possible_o imagine_v how_o large_a and_o of_o what_o compass_n the_o sea_n may_v be_v of_o for_o they_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o the_o utmost_a extension_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v not_o as_o yet_o know_v to_o humankind_a for_o that_o circle_n about_o which_o the_o ship_n of_o cavendishe_v and_o drake_n do_v swim_v may_v be_v in_o comparison_n to_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o such_o a_o circle_n as_o a_o boy_n may_v occasion_v with_o throw_v a_o small_a stone_n or_o such_o like_a thing_n into_o a_o pond_n of_o water_n xv._n the_o last_o conception_n of_o my_o mind_n concern_v restoring-bed_n be_v that_o the_o part_n of_o my_o mind_n do_v conceive_v that_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o whole_a universe_n be_v the_o sea_n and_o in_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o sea_n be_v a_o small_a island_n and_o in_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o island_n be_v a_o creature_n like_v in_o the_o outward_a form_n to_o a_o great_a and_o high_a rock_n not_o that_o this_o rock_n be_v stone_n but_o it_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n by_o the_o natural_a composition_n of_o part_n that_o it_o be_v compound_v of_o part_n of_o all_o the_o principal_a kind_n and_o sort_v of_o the_o creature_n of_o this_o world_n viz._n of_o elemental_a animal_n mineral_n and_o vegetable_a kind_n and_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n do_v produce_v out_o of_o itself_o all_o kind_n and_o sort_n of_o restoring-bed_n whereof_o some_o sort_n be_v so_o loose_a that_o they_o only_o hang_v by_o string_n or_o nerve_n other_o stick_v close_o some_o be_v produce_v at_o the_o top_n or_o upper_a part_n other_o be_v produce_v out_o of_o the_o middle_a part_n and_o some_o be_v produce_v from_o the_o low_a part_n or_o at_o the_o bottom_n in_o short_a the_o opinion_n of_o the_o part_n of_o my_o mind_n be_v that_o this_o rocky_a creature_n be_v all_o cover_v with_o its_o own_o production_n which_o production_n be_v of_o all_o kind_n and_o sort_n not_o that_o they_o be_v numerous_a but_o various_a production_n also_o that_o these_o various_a production_n be_v restoring-bed_n for_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o rocky_a creature_n be_v as_o lasting_a as_o the_o sun_n or_o other_o planet_n which_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o those_o production_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o decay_v as_o other_o production_n be_v nor_o can_v they_o produce_v new_a creature_n but_o only_o restore_v former_a creature_n as_o those_o that_o have_v be_v produce_v and_o be_v partly_o dissolve_v the_o conclusion_n after_o the_o wise_a part_n of_o my_o mind_n have_v end_v their_o argument_n there_o be_v some_o of_o the_o dull_a and_o the_o most_o unbelieving_a or_o rather_o strange_a part_n of_o my_o mind_n that_o have_v retire_v into_o the_o glandula_n of_o my_o brain_n which_o be_v a_o
