of_o all_o it_o be_v without_o doubt_n and_o be_v manifest_a by_o the_o sight_n that_o the_o cold_a air_n do_v by_o degree_n consume_v water_n snow_n and_o ice_n yet_o these_o two_o more_o slow_o

the_o cold_a wherefore_o the_o mercury_n and_o salt_n of_o the_o water_n perceive_v the_o frost_n of_o the_o air_n that_o will_v separate_v the_o water_n from_o the_o water_n and_o that_o they_o
