all_o be_v of_o the_o fiery_a kind_n or_o likewise_o the_o fiery_a motion_n make_v several_a figure_n and_o several_a figure_n have_v several_a fiery_a motion_n for_o every_o sort_n of_o animal_n

and_o the_o interior_a and_o exterior_a motion_n be_v all_o as_o one_o the_o second_o be_v a_o hot-burning_a fire_n but_o not_o a_o bright_a shine_a fire_n such_o as_o aquafortis_n vitral_n and_o such_o sort_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n which_o will_v burn_v as_o fire_n do_v but_o not_o thin_a as_o the_o other_o fire_n do_v for_o though_o they_o be_v both_o of_o a_o interior_a nature_n yet_o not_o of_o a_o exterior_a for_o the_o bright-shining_a fire_n be_v all_o compose_v of_o sharp_a point_n as_o i_o may_v say_v line_n of_o point_n but_o this_o vitral_z fire_n be_v as_o sharp_a edge_a line_n like_o a_o razor_n or_o knife_n or_o the_o like_a neither_o nature_n be_v there_o external_a motion_n alike_o for_o bright-shining_a fire_n mount_v upward_o when_o it_o be_v not_o suppress_v or_o in_o a_o straight_a parallel_n line_n for_o flame_n which_o be_v the_o liquid_a part_n of_o bright-shining_a fire_n although_o it_o move_v in_o several_a line_n as_o it_o ascend_v yet_o the_o line_n they_o ascend_v in_o be_v a_o straight_a diameter_n line_n but_o this_o vitral_z fire_n descend_v as_o it_o be_v downward_o or_o divide_v as_o stream_n of_o water_n do_v that_o dig_v itself_o a_o passage_n through_o the_o earth_n so_o this_o vitral_z cut_v a_o passage_n through_o what_o it_o work_v on_o neither_o can_v this_o sort_n of_o fire_n work_v so_o various_o as_o bright-shining_a fire_n can_v by_o reason_n it_o have_v not_o so_o many_o part_n for_o point_n will_v fall_v into_o more_o part_n and_o be_v more_o swift_a in_o motion_n than_o the_o edge_a line_n as_o for_o example_n dust_n which_o be_v numerous_a little_a part_n heap_v together_o will_v be_v more_o agile_a upon_o the_o least_o motion_n although_o it_o be_v of_o a_o weighty_a nature_n as_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o stone_n the_o small_a hair_n which_o be_v of_o a_o light_n and_o weightless_a nature_n but_o be_v not_o divide_v into_o so_o many_o part_n can_v move_v so_o nimble_a as_o be_v unite_a line_n but_o if_o you_o cut_v the_o hair_n into_o small_a part_n it_o shall_v move_v with_o more_o restless_a motion_n than_o the_o sand_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o as_o the_o substance_n be_v light_a the_o three_o sort_n of_o fire_n be_v that_o which_o i_o call_v a_o cold_a dull_a fire_n such_o as_o brimstone_n or_o sulphur_n mercury_n salt_n oil_n or_o the_o like_a this_o sort_n in_o the_o interior_a nature_n be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o bright-shining_a fire_n both_o in_o the_o motion_n and_o temperament_n of_o matter_n but_o not_o in_o the_o exterior_a for_o it_o be_v compose_v of_o point_n

for_o those_o point_n soon_o catch_v hold_v of_o those_o straight_o circumferent_a line_n and_o break_v they_o in_o sunder_o which_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v break_v the_o point_n be_v at_o liberty_n and_o take_v their_o freedom_n they_o mount_v in_o a_o flame_n but_o when_o those_o line_n be_v not_o dissolve_v by_o fire_n but_o crack_v as_o we_o will_v snap_v like_a a_o string_n asunder_o than_o they_o only_o sparkle_v fire_n out_o but_o not_o flame_v out_o but_o mercury_n or_o quicksilver_n the_o interior_a be_v fire_n but_o the_o exterior_a be_v water_n for_o the_o exterior_a move_v extenuate_a circle_n as_o water_n do_v and_o so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v it_o soft_a and_o fluid_a but_o not_o so_o much_o as_o to_o make_v it_o wet_a for_o though_o it_o always_o
