because_o that_o when_o the_o fiery_a nature_n lift_v up_o the_o subtle_a part_n it_o lift_v up_o always_o the_o more_o pure_a and_o by_o consequent_a leave_v the_o grosser_n in_o the_o bottom_n and_o therefore_o it_o behoove_v by_o a_o indifferent_a fire_n to_o sublime_a in_o a_o continual_a vapour_n that_o the_o stone_n may_v be_v inspire_v in_o the_o air_n and_o live_v for_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o thing_n take_v life_n of_o the_o inspiration_n of_o air_n and_o so_o also_o all_o our_o mastery_n consist_v in_o vapour_n and_o in_o the_o sublimation_n of_o water_n and_o therefore_o our_o brass_n or_o leton_n must_v by_o degree_n of_o fire_n be_v lift_v up_o and_o free_o without_o violence_n of_o himself_o ascend_v on_o high_a wherefore_o unless_o the_o body_n be_v by_o fire_n and_o

in_o the_o air_n and_o be_v make_v life_n with_o life_n be_v altogether_o spiritual_a and_o incorruptible_a and_o so_o in_o such_o a_o regiment_n the_o body_n be_v make_v a_o spirit_n of_o a_o
