to_o pass_v his_o way_n without_o hinder_v his_o fellow_n wherefore_o see_v that_o one_o single_a light_n can_v not_o send_v ray_n enough_o to_o fill_v every_o little_a space_n of_o air_n that_o be_v

enter_v in_o and_o to_o evaporate_v out_o and_o this_o be_v most_o evident_a in_o glass_n which_o be_v wrought_v by_o a_o extreme_a violent_a fire_n and_o swell_a with_o it_o as_o water_n and_o
