either_o be_v generate_v or_o nourish_v by_o a_o simple_a element_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o fish_n be_v engender_v and_o water_n fish_n can_v smell_v in_o pure_a water_n nourish_v in_o the_o water_n that_o water_n partake_v of_o the_o vigour_n and_o substance_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o element_n and_o this_o be_v also_o manifest_v by_o the_o reciprocal_a transmutation_n or_o

which_o be_v dry_a now_o what_o be_v more_o moist_a and_o free_a from_o siccity_n then_o pure_a and_o simple_a water_n again_o if_o odoriferous_a thing_n by_o too_o plentiful_a effusion_n of_o

whereas_o aristotle_n absolute_o conclude_v that_o fish_n do_v smell_v because_o they_o make_v choice_n of_o their_o meat_n that_o consequence_n we_o can_v so_o well_o approve_v for_o the_o choice_n
