this_o movable_a but_o why_o do_v quicksilver_n like_o a_o drop_n of_o water_n in_o powder_n or_o dust_n and_o also_o upon_o a_o dry_a substance_n be_v globular_a and_o round_a the_o question_n be_v

2._o that_o it_o will_v gather_v itself_o in_o the_o dust_n of_o lead_n and_o not_o fly_v from_o it_o because_o lead_n be_v like_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o quicksilver_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v not_o fly_v from_o its_o nature_n but_o rather_o desire_v it_o 3._o a_o drop_n of_o water_n when_o it_o fall_v in_o the_o air_n be_v globular_a and_o round_a but_o do_v not_o refuse_v the_o air_n which_o be_v moist_a therefore_o the_o flight_n from_o dryness_n will_v not_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o globular_a form_n if_o it_o be_v the_o same_o in_o moistness_n but_o the_o true_a reason_n be_v take_v from_o the_o material_a cause_n to_o wit_n quicksilver_n for_o its_o exquisite_a mixture_n of_o moist_a and_o dry_a to_o be_v force_v into_o one_o and_o conglobulate_v for_o pure_a water_n alone_o can_v be_v convolve_v into_o a_o globular_a form_n but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n of_o earth_n exquisite_o mix_v with_o water_n than_o indeed_o it_o will_v be_v globular_a as_o we_o see_v in_o drop_n fall_v upon_o dust_n with_o which_o assoon_o as_o any_o dust_n be_v mingle_v it_o become_v round_o for_o from_o dryness_n it_o receive_v a_o certain_a firmness_n to_o cause_v that_o

that_o it_o may_v better_o conserve_v its_o unity_n it_o go_v into_o a_o globular_a form_n c_z it_o be_v a_o controversy_n to_o this_o day_n agitate_a whether_o metal_n be_v distinguish_v among_o

because_o it_o want_v a_o soul_n therefore_o the_o name_n generation_n be_v common_a to_o all_o thing_n generable_a and_o corruptible_a as_o also_o to_o inanimate_a and_o corporal_a simple_n for_o this_o water_n be_v generate_v of_o the_o air_n without_o a_o live_a soul._n the_o second_o reason_n which_o be_v judge_v the_o most_o valid_a be_v this_o where_o there_o be_v heat_n there_o be_v a_o

therefore_o a_o soul_n can_v right_o be_v attribute_v unto_o they_o 6._o metal_n do_v suffer_v disease_n and_o old_a age_n as_o albertus_n do_v attest_v which_o must_v necessary_o proceed_v from_o
