of_o the_o first_o essence_n of_o all_o natural_a thing_n whence_o there_o arise_v a_o regeneration_n and_o new_a generation_n a_o thousand_o time_n better_o etc._n etc._n see_v therefore_o

to_o generation_n now_o there_o be_v many_o kind_n of_o putrefaction_n and_o one_o produce_v its_o generation_n in_o another_o manner_n then_o do_v another_o one_o also_o soon_o than_o another_o we_o

be_v always_o the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o the_o imagination_n of_o a_o breed_a woman_n be_v so_o powerful_a that_o in_o conceive_v the_o seed_n into_o her_o body_n she_o may_v change_v her_o
