Examples

“[…] as we may conceive in ſtones and gems, as Diamonds, Beryls, Saphires and the like⟳, whoſe generation we cannot with ſatisfaction confine unto the remote activity of the Sun, or the common operation of coldneſſe in the earth, but may more ſafely referre it unto a lapidificall ſuccity, and congelitive principle which determines prepared materials unto ſpecificall concretions. And therefore I feare we commonly conſider ſubterranities not in contemplations ſufficiently reſpective unto the creation.”
