we_o say_v dead_a or_o lose_v to_o the_o natural_a use_n of_o the_o body_n a_o numb_a palsy_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n but_o not_o of_o the_o same_o degree_n as_o for_o comparison_n a_o dead_a

by_o such_o kind_n of_o unnatural_a expulsion_n as_o dead_a palsy_n be_v of_o unnatural_a contraction_n thus_o we_o find_v by_o experience_n that_o they_o be_v unnatural_a contraction_n that_o cause_n dead_a palsy_n because_o they_o do_v not_o rot_v wherefore_o in_o these_o disease_n there_o must_v be_v apply_v open_v medicine_n that_o work_v dilative_o and_o if_o they_o be_v cause_v from_o a_o cold_a contraction_n then_o hot_a dilate_v medicine_n must_v be_v apply_v but_o if_o they_o proceed_v from_o hot_a contraction_n the_o cold_a dilate_v medicine_n must_v be_v apply_v but_o the_o difficulty_n and_o skill_n will_v be_v to_o find_v whether_o they_o proceed_v from_o cold_a or_o heat_n although_o most_o common_o all_o physician_n do_v apply_v in_o these_o disease_n very_o hot_a and_o dry_a medicine_n which_o be_v contract_v which_o medicine_n be_v quite_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o disease_n which_o make_v they_o cure_v so_o few_o but_o the_o sure_a way_n be_v to_o apply_v dilate_v medicine_n whether_o hot_a or_o cold_a chap._n 177._o of_o that_o we_o call_v a_o sleepy_a numbness_n a_o sleepy_a numbness_n be_v also_o cause_v by_o obstruction_n or_o
