to_o the_o man_n side_n one_o cause_n of_o barrenness_n lay_v down_o by_o many_o author_n be_v the_o overmuch_o length_n of_o the_o yard_n by_o reason_n whereof_o the_o seed_n be_v too_o much_o cool_v

contrary_a side_n it_o may_v be_v rational_o imagine_v that_o the_o long_a yard_n be_v most_o fit_a and_o commodious_a for_o conception_n by_o send_v seed_n to_o the_o inmost_a and_o furthermost_a

render_v man_n unfruitful_a and_o these_o i_o think_v have_v more_o reason_n on_o their_o side_n because_o it_o can_v so_o well_o inject_v the_o seed_n into_o the_o womb_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o but_o indeed_o neither_o can_v this_o be_v a_o firm_a reason_n for_o unfruitfulness_n in_o man_n since_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o experience_n that_o such_o a_o one_o have_v beget_v child_n likewise_o but_o a_o great_a reason_n of_o unfruitfulness_n in_o the_o man_n may_v be_v some_o viciousness_n or_o defect_n in_o his_o yard_n as_o if_o it_o be_v crooked_a or_o if_o any_o of_o its_o ligament_n

either_o in_o the_o proper_a or_o neighbour_n part_n thereof_o another_o cause_n of_o barrenness_n by_o defect_n of_o the_o yard_n be_v a_o too_o much_o weakness_n and_o tenderness_n thereof_o it_o be_v not_o strong_o enough_o erect_v to_o inject_v the_o seed_n into_o the_o womb._n then_o another_o cause_n in_o man_n may_v be_v some_o vice_n in_o the_o stone_n as_o if_o they_o be_v oppress_v with_o any_o inflammation_n or_o swell_a or_o wound_n or_o ulcer_n also_o the_o man_n may_v be_v barren_a from_o his_o want_n of_o seed_n or_o if_o it_o be_v nought_o as_o in_o the_o run_v of_o the_o reins_o or_o venereal_a disease_n gluttony_n or_o drunkenness_n etc._n etc._n and_o then_o too_o frequent_a carnal_a copulation_n be_v a_o cause_n of_o barrenness_n because_o it_o attract_v the_o seedy_a moisture_n from_o the_o stone_n before_o it_o be_v sufficient_o prepare_v and_o concoct_v as_o all_o other_o member_n of_o the_o body_n by_o institution_n of_o nature_n use_v to_o draw_v
