or_o alley_n we_o must_v take_v care_n to_o avoid_v turn_v the_o principal_a root_n towards_o the_o alley_n side_n and_o with_o much_o great_a reason_n ought_v we_o to_o do_v the_o same_o when_o we_o

before_o chap._n xx._n reflection_n upon_o the_o undistinguishable_a likeness_n of_o the_o sap_n in_o the_o wood_n leaves_n and_o fruit._n there_o be_v hardly_o any_o plant_n grow_v with_o we_o

i_o to_o have_v exact_o the_o same_o colour_n taste_v and_o consistence_n both_o in_o the_o wood_n of_o the_o tree_n and_o the_o stalk_v both_o of_o the_o leave_n and_o fruit_n that_o it_o have_v in_o the_o fruit_n itself_o whilst_o it_o be_v yet_o green_a for_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v ripe_a and_o fit_a for_o gather_v there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o sign_n to_o be_v perceive_v of_o that_o

there_o can_v be_v no_o material_a difference_n between_o that_o sap_n which_o go_v to_o the_o form_n of_o the_o fruit_n and_o that_o which_o enter_v into_o the_o composition_n of_o all_o the_o

admit_v the_o sap_n for_o fruit_n to_o be_v endue_v with_o some_o particular_a degree_n of_o perfection_n beyond_o what_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o sap_n of_o the_o tree_n yet_o what_o do_v

at_o least_o before_o it_o come_v to_o perfection_n in_o this_o case_n it_o must_v certain_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o sap_n and_o be_v equal_o employ_v with_o it_o in_o the_o

most_v load_v with_o fruit_n and_o particular_o towards_o the_o extremity_n put_v we_o off_o with_o this_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v for_o the_o better_a concoction_n and_o refine_n of_o the_o sap_n
