there_o be_v every_o tree_n that_o be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o sight_n and_o good_a for_o food_n the_o consequent_a seem_v infallible_a that_o the_o most_o wholesome_a be_v there_o also_o especial_o

be_v convenient_a they_o shall_v surpass_v all_o other_o tree_n §_o 4._o it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o fruit_n which_o our_o first_o parent_n eat_v be_v endue_v with_o such_o like_a quality_n and_o that_o the_o air_n which_o they_o inspire_v be_v likewise_o replenish_v with_o wholesome_a quality_n and_o that_o the_o very_a same_o quality_n remain_v in_o the_o body_n of_o our_o parent_n themselves_o for_o the_o medicamentous_a quality_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v eat_v remain_v in_o the_o body_n of_o animal_n as_o the_o virtue_n of_o hellebore_n in_o the_o body_n of_o a_o quail_n §_o 5._o see_v therefore_o such_o fruit_n and_o the_o inspire_a air_n be_v efficacious_a in_o produce_v those_o virtue_n it_o be_v consequent_a that_o the_o virtue_n themselves_o must_v needs_o be_v
