which_o be_v find_v in_o mix_v body_n i_o mean_v by_o a_o mix_v body_n those_o thing_n that_o natural_o grow_v and_o increase_v such_o as_o mineral_n vegetable_n and_o animal_n under_o the_o name_n of_o mineral_n i_o comprehend_v the_o seven_o metal_n mineral_n stone_n and_o earth_n under_o vegetable_n i_o understand_v plant_n gum_n rosin_n fruit_n the_o several_a sort_n of_o fungus_n seeds_n

shall_v relate_v those_o that_o be_v common_o hold_v whereas_o the_o chemist_n in_o make_v the_o analysis_n of_o mix_v body_n have_v meet_v with_o five_o sort_n of_o substance_n they_o therefore_o conclude_v that_o there_o be_v five_o principle_n of_o natural_a thing_n water_n spirit_n oil_n salt_n and_o earth_n of_o these_o five_o three_o of_o they_o be_v active_a the_o spirit_n oil_n and_o salt_n and_o two_o passive_n water_n and_o earth_n they_o call_v they_o active_a by_o reason_n they_o do_v cause_v all_o manner_n of_o action_n and_o the_o other_o passive_a because_o be_v in_o repose_n themselves_o they_o only_o serve_v to_o stop_v and_o hinder_v the_o quick_a motion_n of_o the_o active_n the_o spirit_n which_o be_v call_v mercury_n be_v the_o first_o of_o the_o active_a principle_n that_o appear_v to_o we_o when_o we_o make_v the_o anatomy_n of_o a_o mix_a body_n it_o be_v a_o subtle_a pierce_a light_a substance_n that_o be_v more_o in_o motion_n than_o any_o of_o the_o other_o it_o be_v this_o which_o cause_v all_o body_n to_o grow_v in_o more_o or_o less_o time_n according_a as_o it_o abound_v in_o they_o more_o or_o less_o but_o it_o happen_v that_o the_o body_n wherein_o it_o abound_v be_v more_o liable_a to_o corruption_n by_o reason_n of_o its_o too_o great_a motion_n and_o this_o be_v observe_v in_o animal_n and_o vegetable_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o great_a part_n of_o mineral_n as_o contain_v but_o a_o very_a small_a quantity_n of_o it_o do_v seem_v to_o be_v incorruptible_a it_o can_v be_v draw_v pure_a no_o more_o than_o the_o other_o i_o be_o go_v to_o speak_v of_o but_o either_o it_o be_v involve_v in_o a_o little_a oil_n that_o it_o carry_v along_o with_o it_o and_o then_o may_v be_v call_v a_o volatile_a spirit_n such_o as_o
