unto_o the_o virtue_n of_o scarborough_n spa_n which_o i_o suppose_v i_o have_v sufficient_o recommend_v i_o think_v this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o best_a medicine_n in_o the_o world_n and_o in_o many_o case_n better_a against_o consumption_n and_o distemper_n of_o the_o lung_n than_o that_o ogleby_n in_o his_o natural_a history_n of_o china_n tell_v the_o world_n that_o a_o pound_n of_o this_o

to_o that_o office_n when_o they_o be_v very_o old_a do_v make_v great_a use_n of_o this_o root_n to_o preserve_v their_o radical_a moisture_n and_o natural_a heat_n that_o so_o they_o may_v the_o
