art_n to_o imitate_v nature_n second_o it_o work_v by_o itself_o but_o not_o first_o because_o first_o it_o engender_v some_o unperfect_a mettle_n of_o the_o same_o beginning_n in_o his_o mine_n and_o

be_v all_o one_o that_o be_v by_o the_o unite_n of_o this_o form_n with_o his_o matter_n at_o last_o to_o engender_v gold_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o be_v imitate_v nature_n itself_o in_o all_o point_n can_v make_v a_o unperfect_a mettle_n a_o perfect_a as_o nature_n itself_o do_v make_v as_o we_o have_v aforesaid_a wherefore_o the_o cause_n be_v all_o one_o of_o necessity_n they_o
