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 change_v and_o pass_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o become_v inutil_o for_o man_n health_n and_o indeed_o rather_o destructive_a then_o constructive_a or_o wholesome_a again_o if_o the_o corruption_n be_v make_v in_o the_o water_n than_o the_o corrupt_a flesh_n or_o dead_a body_n will_v acquire_v or_o endue_v a_o waterish_a and_o masseluginous_a disposition_n which_o also_o 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

air_n which_o only_o can_v be_v conserve_v in_o a_o body_n that_o be_v incorrupt_v it_o must_v of_o necessity_n follow_v that_o in_o the_o three_o foresay_a mummy_n those_o vivify_a spirit_n must_v needs_o vanish_v and_o fly_v away_o for_o want_v of_o a_o natural_a body_n which_o be_v now_o become_v corrupt_v and_o destroy_v and_o therefore_o unnatural_a see_v therefore_o nothing_o be_v require_v in_o the_o true_a mummy_n more_o than_o that_o which_o be_v apt_a and_o proper_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o life_n yea_o for_o life_n itself_o which_o be_v the_o air_n which_o be_v banish_v and_o expel_v from_o the_o three_o foresaid_a mummy_n therefore_o nothing_o can_v be_v extract_v out_o of_o they_o but_o sickness_n death_n and_o destruction_n and_o consequent_o antipathetical_a effect_n so_o that_o if_o a_o sound_n murder_v oâ—_n strangle_v body_n do_v rot_n under_o the_o earth_n or_o in_o the_o water_n it_o be_v not_o fit_a or_o proper_a for_o the_o wholesome_a use_n of_o man_n body_n the_o very_a selfsame_a regard_n be_v to_o be_v have_v unto_o such_o body_n as_o die_v through_o infirmity_n and_o disease_n and_o although_o they_o be_v not_o visible_o corrupt_v by_o the_o three_o aforesaid_a external_a element_n yet_o nevertheless_o it_o happen_v so_o that_o a_o certain_a invisible_a corruptible_a influence_n and_o impression_n be_v make_v or_o cause_v from_o the_o external_a element_n into_o the_o internal_a from_o hence_o therefore_o proceed_v that_o intestine_a war_n in_o man_n body_n whereby_o the_o element_n do_v kill_v and_o corrupt_v one_o another_o but_o after_o a_o divers_a fashion_n namely_o otherwise_o in_o one_o body_n than_o in_o another_o according_a as_o one_o element_n or_o elemental_a alteration_n be_v say_v to_o have_v dominion_n or_o rule_n over_o the_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o such_o variety_n of_o disease_n do_v haunt_v man_n body_n as_o for_o example_n the_o dropsy_n come_v of_o the_o strong_a impression_n of_o water_n the_o hectic_a or_o burn_a favour_n of_o fiery_a insultation_n and_o the_o leprosy_n of_o the_o dominion_n of_o earth_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o also_o where_o any_o such_o elementary_a corruption_n happen_v unto_o the_o body_n there_o the_o wholesome_a spirit_n of_o the_o corporal_a mummy_n with_o his_o habitacle_n or_o dwell_v mansion_n be_v utter_o overthrow_v and_o the_o spirit_n be_v force_v to_o depart_v and_o consequent_o contrary_a mummiall_a spirit_n do_v domineer_v and_o be_v ready_a to_o operate_v antipathetical_o as_o shall_v be_v express_v in_o the_o second_o member_n of_o this_o book_n but_o if_o the_o sound_a body_n that_o be_v not_o have_v any_o infirmity_n be_v kill_v only_o by_o and_o in_o the_o element_n of_o air_n that_o be_v to_o say_v through_o strangle_v or_o by_o hang_v then_o there_o will_v be_v find_v no_o impression_n of_o the_o foresay_a element_n in_o the_o corporal_a mass_n of_o man_n carcase_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n it_o will_v remain_v incorrupt_v and_o will_v not_o suffer_v any_o elemental_a resolution_n so_o long_o as_o it_o be_v conserve_v in_o the_o air_n if_o therefore_o the_o body_n or_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o vital_a balsam_n remain_v entire_a than_o that_o aereall_a vital_a balsam_n be_v not_o compel_v to_o depart_v from_o his_o

therefore_o that_o this_o airy_a kind_n of_o microcosmicall_a mummy_n be_v most_o proper_a for_o the_o conservation_n of_o vital_a spirit_n in_o the_o live_a man_n be_v extract_v prepare_v and_o

through_o his_o constrictive_a nature_n or_o action_n which_o be_v make_v evident_a by_o the_o contraction_n of_o the_o air_n we_o may_v easy_o discern_v the_o universal_a reason_n of_o the_o

and_o operate_v by_o his_o proper_a essence_n and_o not_o by_o any_o acquire_v virtue_n then_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o effect_n in_o the_o world_n seem_v to_o be_v necessary_a and_o hereupon_o they_o

and_o withdraw_a they_o again_o when_o and_o where_o he_o please_v unto_o the_o second_o i_o say_v that_o necessary_a effect_n do_v no_o way_n include_v any_o necessity_n in_o the_o first_o
