the_o sense_n of_o smell_v neither_o be_v it_o place_v so_o near_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v without_o the_o great_a providence_n of_o god_n taste_v for_o there_o be_v many_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o if_o they_o be_v taste_v only_o be_v deadly_a or_o at_o leastwise_o very_o dangerous_a and_o hurtful_a as_o appear_v chief_o in_o thing_n that_o be_v venomous_a and_o poisonful_a for_o this_o

for_o it_o and_o what_o not_o and_o this_o chief_o for_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v to_o keep_v man_n from_o hazard_v themselves_o through_o a_o immoderate_a desire_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v before_o they_o have_v discern_v by_o the_o smell_n of_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v to_o be_v take_v whether_o they_o be_v profitable_a or_o hurtful_a for_o they_o the_o second_o reason_n be_v to_o

therefore_o this_o sense_n of_o smell_v be_v near_o conjoin_v and_o have_v great_a agreement_n with_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v for_o this_o be_v a_o general_a rule_n that_o albeit_o every_o thing_n that_o smell_v well_o have_v not_o always_o a_o good_a taste_n yet_o whatsoever_o a_o man_n find_v good_a to_o his_o taste_n the_o same_o have_v also_o a_o good_a smell_n and_o contrariwise_o that_o

know_v not_o how_o to_o use_v they_o moderate_o for_o they_o be_v so_o subject_a to_o their_o pleasure_n sense_n that_o they_o can_v never_o keep_v measure_n in_o anything_o as_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n especial_o in_o these_o two_o sense_n of_o taste_n and_o smell_v for_o as_o the_o ordinary_a meat_n satisfy_v not_o the_o delicate_a appetite_n of_o man_n but_o they_o must_v have_v new_a

all_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n be_v good_a if_o they_o be_v use_v moderate_o and_o a_o they_o ought_v with_o thanksgiving_n hereof_o it_o be_v that_o they_o be_v ofte_v mention_v in_o scripture_n in_o the_o good_a part_n and_o not_o to_o seek_v far_o off_o for_o example_n 3._o we_o have_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o holy_a euamgelist_n as_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o who_o be_v neither_o nice_a nor_o voluptuous_a but_o the_o perfect_a pattern_n of_o all_o sobriety_n and_o temperance_n do_v not_o reject_v nor_o condemn_v precious_a ointment_n and_o sweet_a odour_n but_o sometime_o permit_v the_o use_n of_o they_o upon_o his_o own_o person_n odour_n moreover_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o animal_n spirit_n in_o the_o brain_n be_v great_o relieve_v and_o recreate_v by_o those_o good_a and_o natural_a smell_n that_o be_v convey_v unto_o they_o by_o mean_n of_o the_o nose_n and_o of_o the_o sense_n of_o smell_v place_v therein_o as_o contrariwise_o they_o be_v

which_o both_o the_o brain_n and_o lung_n may_v draw_v in_o or_o let_v out_o breathe_v as_o need_n require_v for_o this_o cause_n the_o brain_n do_v stretch_v out_o and_o restrain_v itself_o and_o

for_o as_o a_o fountain_n can_v be_v without_o a_o river_n so_o a_o river_n can_v be_v without_o a_o fountain_n for_o this_o cause_n see_v reason_n of_o which_o god_n have_v make_v man_n partaker_n

for_o the_o fountain_n and_o fruit_n of_o the_o religion_n and_o service_n of_o god_n consist_v not_o in_o this_o mortal_a life_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v in_o some_o other_o that_o
