Cool. You may try.

Cool. You may depend upon it, it is not ſame body that I was witneſs to your in, nor in which I died, for that is in the  rotting; but it is ſuch a body as ſerves me  moment; for I can fly as fleet with it as my  can do without it; ſo that I can go to  and return again, before you can ride twice  length of your horſe; nay, if I have a mind go to London or Jeruſalem, or to the moon if  pleaſe, I can perform all theſe journiesjourneys [sic]  ſoon, for it coſts me nothing but a thought  wiſh; for this body is as fleet as your  for in a moment of time you can turn  thoughts on Rome, I can go there in perſon: as for my horſe, it is much like myſelf, for Andrew Johnſton my tenant, who died hours before me.
