of_o thing_n that_o strengthen_v the_o body_n but_o they_o must_v use_v the_o six_o kind_n of_o non-natural_a thing_n according_a to_o the_o equable_v and_o temperate_a way_n of_o physician_n as_o

and_o take_v also_o of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n and_o eat_v and_o live_v for_o ever_o now_o therefore_o of_o itself_o it_o have_v a_o power_n to_o render_v man_n eternal_a without_o any_o other_o

three_o cause_n of_o our_o destruction_n the_o first_o be_v the_o different_a nay_o and_o sometime_o contrary_a temperament_n of_o different_a part_n whereby_o they_o mutual_o act_v and_o suffer_v

the_o rest_n the_o second_o be_v the_o continual_a action_n of_o the_o native_a heat_n upon_o the_o moisture_n from_o which_o two_o damage_n be_v considerable_a one_o be_v the_o repassion_n from_o

that_o supernatural_a quality_n be_v not_o only_o unnecessary_a but_o will_v have_v be_v hurtful_a also_o first_o because_o as_o it_o resist_v the_o action_n of_o different_a part_n so_o it_o will_v resist_v those_o very_a quality_n whereof_o the_o natural_a temperament_n of_o the_o body_n be_v constitute_v see_v they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n second_o because_o even_o from_o that_o

therefore_o that_o tree_n be_v a_o adequate_a cause_n to_o secure_v a_o man_n from_o death_n §_o 8._o some_o may_v reply_v it_o be_v true_a from_o the_o word_n of_o holy_a writ_n it_o do_v follow_v that_o man_n shall_v have_v live_v for_o ever_o but_o this_o eternal_a life_n after_o sin_n will_v have_v be_v contingent_a from_o eat_v the_o tree_n of_o life_n not_o necessary_a wherefore_o lest_o
