other_o humour_n be_v infect_v with_o the_o venomous_a contagion_n if_o any_o man_n require_v my_o judgement_n in_o this_o doubtful_a question_n i_o say_v that_o the_o pestilence_n sometime_o do_v

strength_n of_o the_o expulsive_a faculty_n do_v drive_v forth_o whatsoever_o be_v noisome_a or_o hurtful_a therefore_o if_o the_o physician_n will_v follow_v this_o motion_n of_o nature_n he_o must_v neither_o purge_v nor_o let_v blood_n lest_o that_o by_o a_o contrary_a motion_n that_o be_v by_o draw_v in_o from_o without_o the_o motion_n of_o nature_n which_o proceed_v outward_o from_o within_o

through_o the_o default_n of_o the_o air_n we_o ought_v to_o abstain_v from_o purge_v and_o phlebotomy_n but_o it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o forearm_v the_o heart_n inward_o and_o outward_o with_o
