as_o void_a of_o virtue_n to_o such_o i_o shall_v invert_v the_o order_n of_o the_o poet_n choice_n dam_fw-la mihi_fw-la tu_fw-la facilem_fw-la accipe_fw-la difficilem_fw-la it_o be_v not_o

with_o moderation_n the_o operation_n of_o this_o pill_n be_v general_o by_o sweat_n where_o there_o be_v many_o peccant_a humour_n to_o be_v purge_v out_o which_o in_o some_o person_n be_v more_o insensible_o transmit_v through_o the_o pore_n than_o in_o other_o it_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o some_o able_a doctor_n that_o thin_a lean_a body_n that_o sweat_v least_o by_o a_o insensible_a

they_o have_v not_o a_o perfect_a cure_n wrought_v by_o the_o take_n of_o 2_o or_o 3_o pill_n sometime_o by_o one_o will_v lay_v it_o aside_o as_o altogether_o inefficacious_a when_o as_o if_o a_o
