that_o the_o thing_n corrupt_v do_v endue_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n corrupt_v as_o for_o example_n if_o the_o dead_a carcase_n of_o a_o man_n be_v corrupt_v in_o the_o earth_n it_o be_v

will_v prove_v very_o incommodious_a or_o unprofitable_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n and_o last_o by_o the_o inordinate_a violence_n of_o fire_n the_o spirit_n in_o the_o mummiall_a body_n will_v be_v consume_v waste_v or_o expire_v now_o the_o reason_n why_o these_o say_v corporal_a mummie_n in_o those_o estate_n be_v inconvenient_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o health_n be_v because_o the_o foresay_a three_o do_v so_o destroy_v and_o corrupt_v the_o body_n of_o they_o that_o they_o make_v and_o constrain_v his_o earth_n his_o water_n and_o his_o fire_n to_o

which_o hover_v occult_o in_o the_o air_n to_o be_v refresh_v by_o it_o do_v unaware_o draw_v in_o a_o enemy_n with_o it_o namely_o a_o pestilent_a and_o corrupt_a fume_n whereby_o it_o be_v oppress_v
