medicament_n why_o shall_v we_o then_o be_v so_o hard_a to_o believe_v the_o cure_v wonder_n and_o doubt_v not_o at_o all_o in_o the_o feed_v or_o nourish_v wonder_n but_o you_o will_v say_v that_o aliment_n be_v flexible_a and_o obedient_a to_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n who_o easy_o convert_v it_o to_o divers_a use_v and_o i_o say_v if_o you_o can_v make_v a_o medicine_n thus_o pliable_a

fair_a and_o reasonable_a on_o nature_n side_n that_o she_o can_v manage_v a_o catholic_a medicine_n very_o well_o to_o serve_v all_o her_o design_n and_o purpose_n for_o cure_v if_o she_o have_v

or_o such_o a_o particular_a operation_n which_o if_o the_o case_n do_v not_o require_v it_o but_o nature_n will_v act_v another_o way_n more_o advantageous_a you_o then_o contend_v with_o and_o

that_o the_o way_n to_o effect_v cure_n then_o you_o must_v be_v very_o careful_a and_o wary_a that_o you_o do_v not_o debilitate_v nature_n by_o irksome_a nauseous_a exhaust_v painful_a medicine_n and_o if_o so_o than_o a_o great_a many_o be_v much_o out_o of_o the_o way_n who_o medicine_n and_o method_n enfeeble_v nature_n by_o large_a exhaustion_n and_o tyering-medicine_n that_o overload_v fret_v and_o grieve_v nature_n not_o contribute_v to_o her_o strengthen_n and_o assistance_n but_o the_o contrary_n there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o unlucky_a medicine_n the_o one_o ill_o compose_v

neither_o of_o these_o three_o do_v corroborate_v nature_n but_o debilitate_v and_o deject_v no_o wonder_n then_o that_o so_o many_o pale_a face_n and_o thin_a chap_n appear_v after_o physick_v
