of_o philosopher_n it_o be_v chief_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o the_o ancient_a philosopher_n do_v often_o endeavour_v to_o compose_v in_o a_o most_o short_a time_n above_o the_o earth_n those_o

in_o they_o if_o thou_o know_v how_o to_o perform_v this_o and_o to_o imitate_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o inferior_a nature_n in_o make_v metal_n thou_o may_v worthy_o rejoice_v in_o the_o name_n of_o a_o philosopher_n as_o be_v not_o mean_o expert_a in_o natural_a thing_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o the_o more_o ancient_a philosopher_n use_v not_o common_a sol_n and_o lune_fw-fr in_o

their_o time_n and_o labour_n to_o the_o destruction_n both_o of_o their_o body_n and_o soul_n which_o be_v much_o to_o be_v lament_v moreover_o in_o these_o our_o time_n we_o know_v no_o man_n who_o
