these_o thing_n be_v call_v not_o natural_a not_o because_o they_o be_v utterlye_o against_o our_o nature_n but_o because_o if_o they_o be_v give_v without_o discretion_n they_o may_v make_v such_o

my_o simple_a wit_n will_v geve_v i_o leave_v begin_v first_o with_o the_o element_n ¶_o the_o sixth_o chapter_n of_o the_o element_n tvlly_fw-fr y_fw-fr e_o eloquent_a romain_n counsel_v very_o well_o every_o man_n first_o of_o all_o and_o before_o he_o make_v any_o far_o procede_a to_o define_v the_o thing_n of_o the_o which_o he_o pourpose_v to_o entreat_v to_o y_z e_z intent_n that_o every_o man_n may_v perceyve_v what_o it_o be_v y_z e_z be_v speak_v of_o therefore_o according_a to_o his_o counsel_n i_o will_v first_o define_v what_o a_o element_n be_v wherefore_o a_o element_n as_o galen_n say_v in_o the_o viii_o book_n of_o the_o decree_n of_o plato_n and_o hippocrates_n be_v the_o lest_o part_n of_o that_o thing_n of_o the_o which_o it_o be_v a_o element_n and_o of_o these_o amongst_o the_o hole_n nature_n of_o thing_n there_o be_v but_o four_o in_o number_n which_o be_v the_o fire_n ayer_n water_n and_o earth_n and_o as_o of_o these_o all_o thing_n natural_a have_v there_o beginning_n so_o at_o the_o length_n they_o shall_v be_v resolve_v into_o the_o same_o again_o for_o hippocrates_n say_v in_o a_o book_n which_o he_o entytel_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n that_o after_o the_o soul_n be_v once_o dissolve_a from_o the_o body_n every_o thing_n whereof_o the_o body_n be_v of_o first_o be_v return_v in_o his_o own_o nature_n again_o as_o look_v what_o in_o the_o beginning_a be_v dry_a that_o be_v turn_v in_o to_o dry_v &_o what_o be_v moist_a become_v moist_a again_o and_o likewise_o heat_n be_v turn_v into_o heat_n and_o cold_a become_v cold_a again_o but_o after_o these_o element_n be_v once_o mix_v in_o the_o body_n they_o can_v no_o more_o be_v call_v element_n that_o be_v to_o say_v pure_a and_o simple_a body_n &_o that_o y_o e_o be_v make_v of_o they_o be_v a_o body_n mix_v and_o corruptible_a therefore_o as_o galen_n counsel_v in_o the_o first_o book_n of_o element_n go_v not_o about_o to_o serche_n out_o or_o to_o find_v in_o any_o natural_a body_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v simple_a and_o not_o mix_v or_o compound_v least_o thou_o lose_v thy_o peyne_n but_o be_v content_v if_o thou_o see_v a_o member_n that_o be_v can_v hard_o and_o dry_a and_o a_o neither_o that_o be_v moist_a rare_a and_o fluxible_a to_o think_v the_o tone_n to_o come_v of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o other_o of_o the_o water_n and_o likewise_o when_o thou_o consider_v with_o thyself_o in_o thy_o mind_n the_o nature_n of_o a_o spirit_n then_o remember_v the_o air_n for_o see_v that_o the_o element_n be_v the_o least_a part_n of_o hour_n body_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v perceyve_v by_o any_o sense_n if_o these_o element_n be_v not_o mix_v all_o together_o nether_a man_n nor_o no_o other_o live_v creature_n can_v be_v make_v of_o they_o for_o what_o part_n of_o the_o body_n they_o shall_v towch_v they_o must_v of_o necessity_n corrupt_v the_o same_o for_o there_o be_v no_o part_n of_o the_o body_n that_o can_v abide_v safe_a without_o hurt_n or_o damage_n the_o towching_n of_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v either_o extreme_a hot_a or_o extreme_a cold_n moist_a or_o dry_a and_o hereof_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o these_o element_n be_v not_o mix_v in_o man_n body_n as_o wheat_n or_o barley_n be_v mix_v in_o a_o heap_n for_o of_o the_o grain_n there_o be_v no_o alteration_n see_v after_o the_o mixture_n it_o remaynethe_v hole_n but_o the_o element_n be_v so_o alter_v and_o change_v that_o after_o the_o mixture_n there_o remain_v nothing_o but_o only_o a_o signification_n of_o their_o quality_n
