ulcerous_a matter_n so_o likewise_o his_o bladder_n full_a of_o ulcer_n and_o rottenness_n and_o nothing_o in_o his_o body_n to_o be_v find_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o wherefore_o the_o sharpness_n and_o extraordinary_a heat_n of_o the_o blood_n or_o some_o such_o like_a quality_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o ulcer_n and_o so_o also_o consequent_o of_o that_o extraordinary_a production_n in_o the_o heart_n for_o nothing_o else_o appear_v whatsoever_o may_v be_v conceive_v and_o this_o accidental_a temperament_n of_o the_o blood_n i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o which_o we_o find_v in_o the_o heart_n for_o in_o the_o heart_n if_o any_o where_n be_v the_o great_a heat_n and_o if_o in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o left_a ventricle_n the_o principal_a receptacle_n of_o arterial_a blood_n and_o spirit_n and_o i_o have_v more_o to_o confirm_v i_o in_o this_o opinion_n have_v certain_a knowledge_n both_o of_o the_o diet_n of_o his_o mother_n and_o

to_o know_v how_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v breed_v in_o man_n for_o i_o suppose_v man_n from_o hence_o will_v take_v special_a care_n to_o alter_v the_o accidental_a temperament_n of_o humour_n if_o

of_o pox_n which_o our_o country_n people_n call_v the_o flock_n which_o be_v many_o flat_a head_a white_a and_o wrought_v along_o as_o if_o worm_n have_v make_v certain_a crooked_a furrow_n among_o they_o which_o when_o at_o first_o i_o behold_v i_o be_v very_o diffident_a in_o myself_o of_o do_v any_o cure_n because_o i_o never-knew_a any_o of_o that_o disease_n and_o manner_n save_v yet_o while_o the_o friend_n of_o the_o youth_n declare_v unto_o i_o what_o a_o ingenious_a child_n and_o scholar_n he_o be_v and_o what_o hope_v all_o his_o friend_n have_v of_o he_o i_o still_o behold_v the_o variegation_n or_o vermiculation_n of_o that_o kind_n of_o variolae_fw-la and_o because_o no_o physician_n in_o all_o my_o read_n ever_o give_v i_o the_o least_o light_n or_o help_v to_o cure_v they_o i_o more_o studious_o search_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o form_n strong_o apprehend_v that_o that_o outward_a work_n and_o wave_a can_v proceed_v from_o no_o cause_n but_o from_o putrefaction_n cause_v of_o worm_n and_o that_o god_n and_o nature_n do_v assist_v in_o so_o great_a a_o difficulty_n show_v by_o this_o external_a signature_n the_o internal_a cause_n take_v therefore_o my_o indicative_a from_o the_o conjunctive_a as_o galen_n counsel_v very_o well_o i_o prescribe_v chief_o against_o worm_n and_o inward_a putrefaction_n and_o in_o very_o short_a space_n he_o be_v

scholar_n do_v make_v answer_n unto_o i_o that_o hear_v of_o his_o long_a disease_n of_o the_o suppose_a stone_n or_o ulcer_n of_o the_o bladder_n that_o pain_n and_o grief_n do_v sharpen_v man_n
