all_o by_o touch_v therefore_o the_o air_n be_v more_o moist_a &_o yet_o because_o water_n be_v of_o more_o round_a and_o compact_a substance_n then_o of_o a_o intentive_a quality_n some_o

for_o that_o heat_n and_o dryness_n be_v of_o more_o light_a matter_n then_o do_v it_o stand_v by_o natural_a reason_n that_o heat_n among_o other_o quality_n be_v active_a and_o as_o the_o quality_n thereof_o be_v most_o plain_a so_o the_o least_o portion_n thereof_o as_o in_o man_n for_o which_o cause_n these_o two_o outward_a body_n cold_a and_o heat_n may_v be_v perceyve_v and_o that_o

and_o so_o from_o thencefoorth_o there_o be_v certain_a instrument_n of_o necessity_n some_o cold_a some_o hot_a some_o moist_a and_o some_o dry_a if_o any_o one_o of_o they_o at_o any_o time_n do_v
