3619      1, IV  |              buried underground in his vineyard; and they digged over all
3620      1, IV  |                vines, they had a great vintage the year following: so assuredly
3621      2, XXII|           great indignation call poesy vinum daemonum, because it increaseth
3622      1, VI  |                infinite mysteries, not violating at all the truth of this

3625      1, III |            ipso praefulgebant quod non visebantur.~(3) And for meanness of
3626      1, Int |                princely cogitations to visit the excellent treasure of
3627      2, Int |                or superior persons, of visitation: to enter into account and
3628      2, X   |              would think, by the daily visitations of the physicians, that

3630      2, XXII|              est, ille aluid quiddam a vitio. And therefore we may see
3631      2, X   |          receive tincture, as sulphur, vitriol, steel, or the like; which
3632      2, XXV |         veritate, there remaineth only vituli labiorum; although the use

3634      2, XX  |             Necesse est ut eam, non ut vivam. But it may be truly affirmed
3635      2, XXII|              disputandi causa, sed ita vivendi. And although the neglect
3636      2, X   |             the inhumanity of anatomia vivorum was by Celsus justly reproved;
3637      2, VII |             noteth, eadem magistratuum vocabula.~(3) To return, therefore,
