must_v make_v loose_a from_o the_o gum_n and_o fill_v up_o the_o concavity_n or_o hollowness_n of_o the_o tooth_n with_o a_o little_a piece_n of_o lead_n or_o a_o little_a lint_n or_o cotton_n fill_v

to_o be_v well_o advise_v before_o we_o phlebotomize_v phlebotomy_n be_v not_o expedient_a when_o as_o the_o stomach_n be_v burden_a either_o with_o any_o crudity_n of_o undigested_a meat_n or_o

but_o in_o what_o form_n soever_o we_o make_v the_o incision_n yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o vein_n must_v be_v pierce_v in_o the_o middle_n without_o whole_o cut_v asunder_o of_o the_o same_o because_o the_o lip_n of_o the_o vein_n may_v chance_v to_o be_v invert_v inward_o and_o then_o the_o blood_n can_v result_v out_o of_o the_o apertion_n but_o run_v downward_o along_o by_o the_o arm_n or_o both_o the_o end_n of_o the_o vein_n may_v be_v draw_v inward_o without_o deliverance_n of_o any_o blood_n from_o it_o or_o at_o least_o in_o the_o first_o very_o little_a this_o be_v not_o enough_o neither_o but_o we_o must_v well_o observe_v this_o method_n after_o the_o thrust_n and_o apertion_n be_v make_v in_o the_o vein_n and_o when_o the_o blood_n issue_v thereout_o we_o shall_v know_v when_o the_o vein_n most_o common_o be_v well_o open_v when_o as_o in_o the_o first_o the_o blood_n rush_v and_o as_o it_o be_v leap_v out_o in_o great_a haste_n but_o many_o time_n through_o the_o affright_a of_o the_o patient_n it_o immediate_o alter_v unto_o droop_a the_o reason_n be_v because_o then_o the_o blood_n be_v draw_v inward_o when_o this_o chance_v at_o any_o time_n unto_o

his_o hand_n sometime_o the_o apertion_n in_o the_o vein_n be_v ample_a enough_o but_o because_o the_o blood_n be_v gross_a it_o can_v issue_v thereout_o and_o for_o that_o purpose_n it_o be_v good_a to_o put_v in_o a_o little_a oil_n into_o the_o apertion_n to_o make_v the_o blood_n issue_n forth_o and_o if_o the_o patient_n be_v weak_a and_o feeble_a it_o be_v not_o good_a to_o draw_v too_o
