because_o the_o iron_n in_o the_o coppery_n water_n as_o in_o vitriol_n green_a argol_n and_o such_o like_a do_v precipitate_v the_o copper_n that_o the_o copper_n only_o be_v precipitate_v in_o

for_o though_o in_o the_o vitriol_n and_o other_o copper_n water_n the_o copper_n precipitate_v the_o iron_n yet_o there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o of_o it_o therein_o as_o to_o turn_v it_o to_o copper_n only_o know_v this_o that_o while_o the_o iron_n in_o such_o coppery_n water_n do_v precipitate_v the_o copper_n so_o the_o copper_n will_v precipitate_v the_o silver_n if_o it_o be_v in_o
