to continue them h wherefore the Horn of a Hart can- 

 not be bent. Secondly, fronn the place they grow upK,

 For they are hardned both with the heat of Summer, and 

 cold of Winter s by means whereof the Pores to re- 

 ceive their nouri(hing Liquor are utterly (hut up and 

 (topped, fo as of neceflity their native heat dieth h which
