Or a feigned apparition of Syr VValter Rawleigh to a friend of his, for the translating into English, the booke of Leonard Lessius (that most learned man) entituled, De prouidentia numinis, & animi immortalitate: written against atheists, and polititians of these dayes. Translated by A. B.; De providentia numinis, et animi immortalitate.

earth_n will_v become_v dry_a barren_a deprive_v of_o all_o beauty_n &_o ornament_n of_o tree_n grass_n herb_n and_o flower_n and_o final_o not_o fit_a and_o commodious_a for_o the_o habitation_n of_o

for_o if_o we_o consider_v precise_o thing_n as_o they_o shall_v be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n the_o earth_n ought_v to_o be_v exact_o round_a and_o the_o water_n ought_v on_o every_o side_n to_o
