Of the Phœnix.
That there is but one Phœnix in the World, which after many hundred years burneth it self, and from the ashes thereof ariseth up another, is a conceit not new or altogether popular, but of great Antiquity; not only delivered by humane Authors, but frequently expressed also by holy Writers; by _Cyril_, _Epiphanius_, and others, by _Ambrose_ in his Hexameron, and _Tertullian_ in his Poem _De Judicio Domini_; but more agreeably unto the present sense, in his excellent Tract, _De Resurrectione carnis_.
_Illum dico alitem orientis peculiarem, de singularitate famosum, de posteritate monstruosum; qui semetipsum libenter funerans renovat, natali fine decedens, atque succedens iterum Phœnix.
Ubi jam nemo, iterum ipse; quia non jam, alius idem._ The Scripture also seems to favour it, particularly that of _Job_ 21.
In the interpretation of _Beda_, _Dicebam in nidulo meo moriar, et sicut Phœnix multiplicabo dies_: and _Psal._ 31.

Chapter 2 of The Works of Sir Thomas Browne, Volume 2 by Thomas, Sir Browne holds 61 sentences, grouped into 13 reading sections of at most 5 sentences. The text is the source edition, unabridged, and the chapter records which sentences cover which part of the work so that nothing is dropped. Every word can be tapped for its pronunciation and dictionary entry.

What does chapter 2 of The Works of Sir Thomas Browne, Volume 2 contain?

Chapter 2 holds 61 sentences of The Works of Sir Thomas Browne, Volume 2, unabridged, divided into 13 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 2 of The Works of Sir Thomas Browne, Volume 2 by Thomas, Sir Browne exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 61 sentences, grouped into 13 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 2 of The Works of Sir Thomas Browne, Volume 2?

Work through the 13 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 13 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 2 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 2 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.
