of_o a_o oak_n and_o such_o like_a tree_n than_o bush_n which_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o easy_o burn_v because_o even_o in_o our_o much_o more_o in_o those_o hot_a country_n they_o have_v dry_a

that_o the_o fire_n be_v consume_v by_o the_o bush_n only_o that_o the_o bush_n be_v not_o consume_v by_o the_o fire_n and_o according_o we_o may_v probable_o imagine_v 1._o that_o the_o bush_n be_v so_o strengthen_v that_o the_o fire_n can_v not_o pierce_v it_o natural_a history_n report_v of_o the_o salamander_n live_v in_o the_o flame_n and_o of_o a_o stone_n which_o be_v therefore_o call_v {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o because_o the_o fire_n have_v no_o power_n to_o dissolve_v it_o experience_n tell_v we_o that_o gold_n though_o cast_v into_o be_v not_o waste_v by_o the_o fire_n for_o this_o cause_n not_o doubt_v as_o be_v of_o all_o metal_n the_o most_o solid_a and_o sure_o then_o it_o be_v not_o incredible_a that_o by_o supernatural_a

they_o have_v no_o power_n over_o they_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o martyr_n have_v be_v so_o courageous_a in_o the_o fire_n and_o triumphant_a at_o the_o stake_n whilst_o that_o fire_n which_o
