the_o opinion_n of_o the_o sound_a writer_n which_o be_v unwilling_a to_o dissent_v from_o galen_n come_v to_o this_o that_o a_o convulsion_n be_v cause_v of_o a_o thick_a matter_n which_o extend_v

internal_a but_o this_o give_v less_o satisfaction_n for_o when_o the_o nerve_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n slender_a it_o be_v not_o easy_a to_o conceive_v how_o the_o humour_n shall_v only_o
