A05102	The third volume of the French academie contayning a notable description of the whole world, and of all the principall parts and contents thereof: as namely, of angels both good and euill: of the celestiall spheres, their order and number: of the fixed stars and planets; their light, motion, and influence: of the fower elements, and all things in them, or of them consisting: and first of firie, airie, and watrie meteors or impressions of comets, thunders, lightnings, raines, snow, haile, rainebowes, windes, dewes, frosts, earthquakes, &c. ingendered aboue, in, and vnder the middle or cloudie region of the aire. And likewise of fowles, fishes, beasts, serpents, trees with their fruits and gum; shrubs, herbes, spices, drugs, minerals, precious stones, and other particulars most worthie of all men to be knowen and considered. Written in French by that famous and learned gentleman Peter de la Primaudaye Esquier, Lord of the same place, and of Barree: and Englished by R. Dolman.; Academie françoise. Part 3.

which_o they_o have_v together_o be_v much_o great_a than_o there_o be_v of_o the_o heaven_n with_o the_o air_n the_o water_n and_o the_o earth_n now_o these_o four_o element_n do_v demonstrate_v themselves_o by_o the_o like_a number_n of_o perfect_a compound_n earth_n the_o agreement_n of_o stone_n with_o the_o earth_n which_o follow_v the_o nature_n of_o they_o to_o wit_n by_o stone_n

other_o again_o avouch_v that_o this_o can_v be_v for_o say_v they_o although_o that_o solid_a substance_n may_v by_o motion_n be_v heat_v as_o stone_n lead_z and_o live_a creature_n yet_o those_o

now_o if_o that_o any_o do_v say_v that_o the_o red_a part_n of_o the_o oil_n do_v represent_v the_o fire_n because_o it_o be_v very_o sharp_a and_o very_a subtle_a we_o will_v answer_v that_o such_o
