that_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v actual_o bitter_a have_v great_a virtue_n in_o sift_v preternatural_a fermentation_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n it_o be_v that_o the_o root_n of_o gentian_n be_v

shall_v that_o the_o true_a element_n of_o body_n be_v acid_a liquid_a fiery_a etherean_a and_o terrestrial_a corpuscle_n it_o will_v be_v a_o very_a easy_a matter_n to_o discover_v those_o cause_n for_o see_v all_o bitter_a thing_n penetrate_v the_o tongue_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o they_o leave_v therein_o a_o sense_n of_o their_o action_n for_o a_o long_a time_n after_o and_o that_o of_o all_o the_o element_n none_o be_v so_o proper_a as_o acid_n to_o produce_v that_o effect_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o they_o be_v predominant_a in_o mixt_n which_o have_v that_o taste_n but_o also_o since_o be_v mingle_v with_o many_o liquid_a corpuscle_n they_o produce_v only_o sharp_a and_o corrode_a liquor_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o salt_n vitriol_n alum_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v

with_o sulphurous_a and_o oily_a particle_n they_o only_o produce_v sweet_a mixt_n as_o honey_n sugar_n etc._n etc._n it_o follow_v that_o none_o but_o terrestrial_a corpuscle_n mingle_v with_o they_o in_o a_o proportionable_a quantity_n can_v produce_v a_o bitter_a taste_n and_o in_o effect_n the_o more_o of_o earth_n there_o be_v in_o salt_n the_o bitter_a it_o be_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o more_o it_o be_v refine_v and_o depurate_v the_o less_o bitter_a it_o be_v thus_o sea_n salt_n dissolve_v in_o a_o moist_a air_n and_o afterward_o filtrate_v through_o brown_a paper_n have_v no_o other_o taste_n than_o of_o a_o acid_a spirit_n though_o before_o that_o dissolution_n and_o filtration_n it_o be_v considerable_o bitter_a now_o since_o among_o the_o element_n that_o i_o have_v name_v the_o acid_n be_v heavy_a and_o by_o consequence_n the_o cold_a and_o that_o though_o the_o terrestrial_a be_v not_o so_o heavy_a as_o it_o nor_o yet_o as_o the_o liquid_a yet_o it_o be_v more_o ponderous_a than_o the_o fiery_a and_o ethereal_a we_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v temperate_a i_o mean_v of_o a_o quality_n equal_o distant_a from_o the_o two_o extreme_n and_o that_o so_o be_v with_o the_o acid_a predominant_a in_o a_o mix_a body_n the_o mix_a must_v certain_o be_v cool_v or_o at_o least_o proper_a to_o preserve_v the_o just_a temperament_n of_o our_o body_n but_o because_o there_o be_v no_o bitter_a thing_n make_v up_o sole_o of_o acid_n and_o terrestrial_a corpuscle_n and_o that_o there_o be_v some_o wherein_o either_o the_o fiery_a the_o ethereal_a or_o
