almost_o all_o which_o we_o have_v recite_v in_o one_o place_n methodical_o together_o and_o part_n after_o part_n hereby_o the_o physician_n shall_v reap_v this_o commodity_n that_o when_o he_o

many_o great_a and_o most_o learned_a man_n have_v reverence_v the_o history_n of_o creature_n the_o rest_n of_o which_o i_o have_v think_v good_a to_o impart_v unto_o the_o reader_n in_o the_o

for_o those_o which_o be_v desirous_a either_o to_o dispute_v or_o write_v a_o oration_n either_o in_o greek_a or_o latin_a but_o it_o can_v not_o be_v do_v more_o commodious_o that_o all_o thing_n
