A00508	The difference betwene the auncient phisicke, first taught by the godly forefathers, consisting in vnitie peace and concord: and the latter phisicke proceeding from idolaters, ethnickes, and heathen: as Gallen, and such other consisting in dualitie, discorde, and contrarietie And wherein the naturall philosophie of Aristotle doth differ from the trueth of Gods worde, and is iniurious to Christianitie and sounde doctrine.

of_o true_a physic_n because_o as_o plato_n say_v he_o that_o be_v ignorant_a in_o divine_a thing_n can_v have_v right_a understanding_n in_o profane_a learning_n as_o apollo_n and_o aesculapius_n &_o
