necessary_a that_o this_o vital_a spirit_n concur_v to_o the_o conception_n because_o the_o seed_n of_o man_n can_v besmear_v all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o womb_n which_o else_o will_v impede_fw-la

but_o they_o be_v base_o and_o injurious_o deal_v withal_o it_o be_v a_o aspersion_n cast_v upon_o they_o by_o some_o late_a philosopher_n because_o aristotle_n say_v that_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o

of_o both_o sex_n the_o menstruous_a blood_n of_o the_o woman_n concur_v to_o generation_n it_o be_v call_v menstruous_a blood_n because_o it_o be_v a_o excrement_n yet_o it_o differ_v from_o that_o

for_o when_o man_n seed_n be_v pour_v out_o into_o the_o womb_n it_o be_v exquisite_o mix_v with_o the_o woman_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o fruitful_a field_n and_o immediate_o upon_o the_o
