all_o man_n be_v subject_a once_o to_o die_v and_o in_o that_o all_o man_n be_v alike_o nevertheless_o there_o be_v difference_n in_o the_o term_n of_o life_n for_o one_o live_v long_a and_o another_o

understand_v therefore_o that_o which_o concern_v the_o length_n of_o our_o life_n we_o must_v presuppose_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o the_o maintenance_n of_o the_o humane_a body_n consist_v in_o the_o accord_n and_o harmony_n of_o the_o four_o element_n or_o elementary_a quality_n whereof_o it_o be_v compose_v that_o be_v to_o say_v hot_a cold_a moist_a

principal_a instrument_n that_o maintain_v the_o vegetative_a spirit_n and_o indeed_o the_o life_n of_o man_n consist_v in_o no_o other_o thing_n than_o in_o maintain_v the_o instrument_n and_o organ_n of_o the_o soul_n among_o which_o natural_a heat_n hold_v by_o good_a right_n the_o first_o rank_n for_o this_o heat_n be_v so_o necessary_a for_o th●_n maintenance_n of_o a_o humane_a body_n that_o it_o fail_v the_o soul_n be_v constrain_v to_o forsake_v the_o body_n and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o the_o life_n of_o that_o man_n and_o because_o this_o natural_a heat_n hold_v of_o fire_n which_o consume_v of_o its_o own_o nature_n all_o that_o it_o meet_v withal_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o oppose_v it_o by_o a_o other_o contrary_a quality_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o inferior_a body_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n place_v the_o radical_a or_o natural_a moisture_n with_o this_o natural_a heat_n to_o nourish_v and_o maintain_v it_o even_o as_o the_o fire_n be_v nourish_v and_o

that_o mean_n the_o moisture_n cause_v by_o that_o digestion_n may_v supply_v the_o default_n of_o nature_n but_o see_v that_o as_o aristotle_n say_v the_o moisture_n cause_v of_o that_o digestion_n be_v never_o so_o perfect_a as_o the_o radical_a and_o natural_a although_o it_o serve_v much_o to_o maintain_v it_o of_o necessity_n this_o radical_a moisture_n diminish_v daily_a for_o the_o

this_o offence_n be_v stamp_v upon_o we_o now_o to_o return_v to_o our_o discourse_n i_o say_v the_o life_n last_v long_a or_o short_a according_a as_o heat_n and_o radical_a moisture_n be_v

abound_v more_o in_o the_o say_a quality_n which_o happen_v as_o well_o to_o tree_n as_o man_n so_o that_o we_o may_v say_v long_a life_n consist_v in_o the_o temperature_n and_o just_a proportion_n

although_o they_o serve_v great_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o life_n yet_o nevertheless_o we_o hold_v these_o two_o quality_n to_o be_v the_o entrance_n to_o and_o beginning_n of_o death_n for_o
