unreasonable_a creature_n in_o such_o perfection_n as_o they_o can_v do_v many_o thing_n by_o it_o which_o man_n do_v by_o discourse_n as_o particular_o dog_n which_o by_o smell_n only_o know_v their_o master_n will_v find_v they_o out_o in_o the_o night_n and_o tract_n they_o at_o the_o great_a distance_n nay_o they_o will_v not_o only_o smell_v out_o beast_n and_o bird_n that_o be_v hide_v

other_o wood_n and_o in_o smooth_a glass_n if_o fill_v with_o cold_a water_n iron_n and_o marble_n in_o open_a air_n have_v rather_o a_o dew_n than_o drop_n because_o of_o the_o plenty_n of_o attenuate_v and_o loose_a moisture_n and_o the_o breathe_n of_o the_o air_n which_o disperse_v it_o and_o the_o inclination_n of_o the_o water_n to_o seek_v communion_n and_o fellowship_n whereas_o in_o dry_a place_n as_o in_o dust_n upon_o a_o table_n on_o dry_a marble_n water_n will_v roll_v itself_o into_o little_a heap_n to_o unite_v and_o preserve_v itself_o against_o its_o enemy_n dryness_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o roundness_n of_o drop_n and_o not_o that_o common_a one_o that_o water_n do_v it_o to_o conform_v itself_o with_o the_o rotundity_n of_o the_o

that_o be_v not_o proper_o a_o freeze_a of_o oil_n but_o only_o a_o more_o ready_a condensation_n of_o it_o for_o oil_n be_v of_o itself_o a_o juice_n of_o a_o condense_a substance_n as_o it_o will_v

lxv_o l._n 4._o q._n 21._o why_o man_n be_v sick_a at_o sea_n and_o not_o on_o rivers_n 1._o plutarch_n attribute_n this_o to_o the_o smell_n of_o the_o sea-water_n and_o to_o the_o fear_n of_o
