for_o perception_n be_v only_o a_o action_n of_o figure_v or_o pattern_v when_o as_o the_o rational_a and_o sensitive_a motion_n do_v figure_n or_o pattern_n out_o something_o but_o respiration_n be_v

in_o most_o natural_a creature_n by_o reason_n that_o all_o or_o most_o have_v some_o kind_n of_o respiration_n yet_o nature_n have_v more_o way_n of_o divide_v and_o unite_n of_o part_n or_o of_o

to_o be_v observe_v that_o as_o the_o time_n of_o freeze_a so_o the_o time_n of_o dissolve_v be_v according_a to_o the_o several_a nature_n and_o temper_n both_o of_o the_o freeze_a body_n

or_o other_o freeze_a body_n to_o melt_v quick_a or_o slow_a but_o according_a as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o heat_n be_v either_o more_o or_o less_o dilative_a or_o more_o or_o less_o rarify_n for_o

to_o be_v observe_v that_o oftentimes_o a_o different_a application_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o object_n will_v occasion_v different_a effect_n as_o for_o example_n if_o salt_n be_v mix_v with_o

harmless_o though_o not_o so_o quick_o thaw_v and_o true_o this_o experiment_n stand_v much_o to_o reason_n for_o in_o my_o opinion_n when_o freeze_a body_n perceive_v heat_n or_o fire_n the_o

both_o a_o positive_a quality_n and_o a_o privation_n of_o heat_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v a_o true_a quality_n of_o cold_a must_v needs_o be_v a_o privation_n of_o heat_n since_o two_o opposite_n can_v subsist_v together_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o part_n at_o one_o point_n of_o time_n by_o privation_n i_o mean_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o alteration_n of_o nature_n action_n in_o her_o

most_o common_o cold_a and_o those_o that_o come_v from_o hot_a region_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n hot_a i_o answer_v the_o reason_n be_v that_o those_o wind_n have_v more_o constant_o pattern_v
