nature_n may_v more_o commodious_o be_v refer_v to_o a_o discourse_n by_o itself_o now_o what_o may_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o genital_a member_n be_v engender_v within_o or_o without_o and_o that_o the_o creature_n become_v male_a or_o female_a be_v a_o thing_n plain_a and_o evident_a enough_o to_o demonstrate_v consider_v that_o heat_n extend_v and_o enlarge_v all_o thing_n and_o cold_a
