by_o make_v it_o so_o acid_a that_o it_o may_v cause_v a_o ebullition_n when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v join_v with_o a_o sulphur_n i_o now_o then_o how_o to_o give_v this_o nitre_n a_o sufficient_a acidity_n be_v the_o great_a question_n for_o the_o better_a effect_v of_o this_o we_o must_v consider_v whence_o that_o nitrous_a water_n above_o mention_v in_o the_o earth_n have_v the_o great_a part_n of_o its_o acidity_n as_o to_o that_o it_o must_v be_v remember_v that_o the_o virgin_n earth_n through_o which_o the_o acid_a nitrous_a water_n do_v run_v do_v condense_a the_o nitrous_a air_n or_o vapour_n into_o a_o nitrous_a salt_n and_o withal_o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o before_o this_o nitrous_a air_n or_o vapour_n before_o it_o be_v condense_v even_o when_o it_o be_v

their_o acidity_n from_o the_o acid_a vapour_n of_o acid_a mineral_n both_o henricus_fw-la ab_fw-la here_o be_v and_o jordan_n upon_o mineral_n water_n affirm_v and_o that_o salt_v unbodied_a be_v far_o more_o acid_a than_o when_o they_o have_v assume_v a_o body_n be_v clear_o manifest_a in_o this_o viz._n that_o spirit_n of_o salt_n which_o i_o call_v salt_n unbodied_a because_o they_o have_v lose_v their_o body_n be_v become_v very_o acid_a because_o unbodied_a if_o so_o in_o spirit_n that_o have_v lose_v their_o body_n why_o not_o after_o some_o proportion_n in_o those_o that_o have_v

nitrous_a vapour_n or_o nitrous_a air_n be_v a_o salt_n unbodied_a be_v not_o so_o acid_a as_o spirit_n of_o nitre_n because_o they_o be_v more_o phlegmatic_a and_o crude_a which_o phlegm_n they_o lose_v by_o be_v congeal_v into_o a_o salt_n yet_o for_o all_o this_o they_o be_v far_o more_o acid_a than_o the_o body_n of_o salt_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o helmont_n understand_v when_o
