for_o it_o be_v that_o which_o in_o the_o anoint_v perform_v the_o action_n and_o without_o mercury_n there_o be_v nothing_o profitable_a in_o this_o disease_n minister_v outward_o but_o inwardlie_o there_o be_v many_o noble_a remedy_n beside_o quicksilver_n which_o both_o in_o this_o and_o also_o in_o all_o other_o disease_n be_v of_o great_a force_n so_o that_o the_o like_a have_v not_o oft_o
