that_o the_o thing_n generate_a can_v be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o thing_n generate_v see_v that_o the_o effective_a principle_n of_o generation_n be_v always_o the_o inward_a agent_n the_o inward_a

the_o sea_n by_o a_o long_a tract_n of_o land_n saltish_a spring_n or_o fountain_n may_v supply_v that_o defect_n of_o the_o sea_n but_o the_o school_n be_v so_o far_o from_o repay_v thanks_o to_o

sea_n well_o nigh_o want_v a_o vapoury_a salt_n be_v strong_a and_o the_o more_o expel_v putrefaction_n and_o duelech_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o sea_n of_o lorraine_n abound_v with_o a_o vapoury_a
