When an Animal suffers by
different Modes of corrupt [?], or
other Matter, the [symbol - air] revives & restores
them. The [symbol - Earth], the Tree [underscored], the Grass [underscored], &
other Herbs [underscored] languish by too much Heat
& Dryness, & all are revived again
by the Dew of the [symbol - air]. And as no
Creature can be restored to Health but
in its own Nature, the [symbol - air] being its
original Source; it is also a Universal
Source; & we see, that the Seed [underscored], the
Death [underscored], the Sickness & Remedy of
all things are in the [symbol - air].

Nature has deposited all
her Treasures in that Element; with
the Principles of Generation & Corruption,

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
