at_o the_o mouth_n descend_v present_o into_o the_o stomach_n whence_o it_o be_v sudden_o sublimate_v upward_o by_o the_o heat_n of_o this_o part_n which_o cause_v the_o salivation_n that_o be_v

enough_o to_o supply_v this_o defect_n by_o vigorous_o follow_v the_o motion_n of_o mercury_n i_o know_v well_o enough_o that_o some_o person_n do_v mix_v purgative_n with_o it_o which_o do_v hinder_v its_o sublimation_n by_o precipitate_v it_o downward_o but_o this_o custom_n seem_v to_o have_v as_o little_a certainty_n as_o the_o former_a because_o only_o pass_v through_o the_o gut_n it_o can_v purify_v at_o most_o but_o that_o which_o be_v call_v the_o second_o region_n of_o the_o body_n for_o there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n at_o all_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o penetrate_v into_o the_o most_o remote_a part_n to_o mix_v with_o all_o the_o acid_n humour_n that_o be_v there_o extravasated_a and_o so_o draw_v they_o into_o the_o place_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o by_o a_o contrary_a
