a_o basilisk_n be_v not_o considerable_a but_o many_o thing_n deliver_v thereof_o particular_o its_o poison_n and_o generation_n concern_v the_o first_o it_o be_v affirm_v that_o it_o kill_v at_o a_o

of_o aristotle_n draw_v from_o the_o increment_n and_o gestation_n of_o the_o animal_n that_o be_v its_o sudden_a arrivance_n to_o growth_n and_o maturity_n and_o the_o small_a time_n of_o remainder_n

attain_v but_o slow_o to_o maturity_n of_o stature_n so_o the_o elephant_n that_o live_v a_o 100_o year_n bear_v its_o young_a above_o a_o year_n and_o arrive_v unto_o perfection_n at_o 20._o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o sheep_n or_o goat_n which_o live_v but_o 8_o or_o 10_o year_n go_v but_o five_o month_n and_o attain_v to_o their_o perfection_n at_o two_o year_n and_o so_o the_o deer_n that_o endure_v the_o womb_n but_o 8_o month_n and_o be_v complete_a at_o 6_o year_n can_v in_o a_o proportionable_a allowance_n live_v much_o more_o than_o 30._o the_o next_o reason_n be_v its_o unparalleled_a excess_n of_o venery_n which_o be_v suppose_v to_o shorten_v the_o life_n of_o cock_n partridge_n and_o sparrow_n certain_o a_o undeniable_a enemy_n unto_o longaevity_n hence_o it_o be_v observable_a that_o castrate_v animal_n in_o every_o species_n be_v long_o live_v than_o they_o which_o retain_v their_o virility_n a_o three_o reason_n be_v the_o mark_n of_o age_n of_o which_o
