bring_v no_o detriment_n at_o all_o to_o the_o substance_n of_o it_o in_o this_o i_o speak_v only_o of_o a_o ordinary_a fire_n for_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o such_o a_o one_o it_o may_v be_v it_o as_o

such_o sort_n as_o the_o nose_n of_o a_o weathercock_n but_v itself_o into_o the_o wind_n now_o then_o it_o be_v know_v that_o the_o strong_a stream_n come_v direct_o from_o the_o north_n in_o the_o
