the_o use_n of_o this_o remedy_n but_o we_o be_v rather_o to_o consider_v the_o state_n and_o constitution_n of_o body_n for_o we_o see_v some_o body_n to_o be_v far_o strong_a at_o a_o certain_a

and_o feeble_a or_o yet_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v not_o with_o child_n we_o ought_v to_o refrain_v from_o this_o remedy_n but_o a_o child_n that_o be_v strong_a as_o likewise_o a_o woman_n with_o
