good_a man_n of_o life_n and_o conversation_n &_o blameless_a in_o the_o â—ight_n of_o the_o world_n but_o for_o that_o this_o question_n appertain_v not_o unto_o this_o place_n neither_o yet_o come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o your_o handle_n or_o mine_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o our_o reverend_a divine_n to_o who_o it_o belong_v to_o decide_v such_o matter_n hope_v for_o all_o that_o it_o shall_v not_o seem_v to_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o christianity_n to_o judge_v the_o best_a even_o of_o those_o infidel_n and_o to_o think_v that_o as_o god_n be_v omnipotent_a and_o wonderful_a in_o all_o his_o do_n so_o by_o that_o his_o omnipotency_n join_v with_o his_o infinite_a mercy_n he_o have_v also_o many_o way_n and_o mean_n though_o to_o we_o and_o our_o weakness_n

servant_n that_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o if_o this_o opinion_n of_o i_o shall_v be_v think_v awry_o and_o erroneous_a yet_o i_o hope_v it_o shall_v be_v take_v and_o account_v as_o pius_fw-la error_n and_o so_o i_o leave_v for_o this_o matter_n submit_v myself_o to_o the_o censure_n and_o judgement_n of_o they_o to_o who_o it_o do_v appertain_v but_o let_v we_o imagine_v the_o worst_a be_v it_o that_o they_o be_v the_o devil_n servant_n and_o that_o the_o use_n of_o this_o tobacco_n come_v whole_o from_o they_o shall_v it_o therefore_o be_v think_v either_o impious_a or_o inconvenient_a or_o unlawful_a for_o christian_n to_o use_v it_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o not_o of_o that_o mind_n for_o i_o think_v that_o religion_n forbid_v it_o not_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a honest_a policy_n do_v not_o prohibit_v it_o touch_v religion_n omnia_fw-la munda_fw-la mundis_fw-la take_v i_o yet_o here_o i_o pray_v you_o as_o i_o mean_v it_o that_o be_v as_o speak_v and_o mean_v of_o such_o matter_n as_o be_v not_o otherwise_o precise_o order_v &_o overrule_v by_o scripture_n but_o be_v count_v indifferent_a &_o stand_v only_o upon_o their_o right_a use_n or_o abuse_v to_o be_v either_o good_a or_o bad_a and_o have_v no_o express_a rule_n example_n or_o commandment_n to_o the_o contrary_n as_o for_o honest_a policy_n i_o refer_v you_o over_o to_o the_o daily_a practice_n of_o all_o good_a christian_a prince_n imagine_v those_o indian_n be_v as_o ill_a as_o ill_o may_v be_v yet_o i_o know_v that_o the_o turk_n be_v as_o ill_o as_o they_o who_o be_v the_o profess_a enemy_n of_o christ_n and_o of_o his_o sacred_a gospel_n and_o yet_o i_o be_o sure_a there_o be_v many_o thing_n both_o invent_v and_o devise_v by_o they_o or_o else_o by_o as_o ill_o as_o they_o and_o also_o that_o be_v daily_o use_v by_o they_o which_o be_v hold_v in_o great_a price_n and_o estimation_n with_o all_o christian_n at_o this_o day_n and_o by_o all_o christian_a prince_n put_v in_o practice_v every_o where_o wherefore_o in_o condemn_v tobacco_n and_o the_o tabacconist_n so_o eager_o in_o this_o point_n as_o you_o do_v in_o my_o opinion_n you_o do_v in_o a_o manner_n condemn_v all_o christendom_n for_o some_o one_o thing_n or_o other_o use_v by_o they_o which_o be_v either_o inâ—ented_v at_o the_o first_o or_o else_o be_v now_o daily_o use_v by_o the_o infidel_n the_o eight_o and_o last_o reason_n be_v for_o that_o it_o be_v a_o great_a augmentor_n of_o melancholy_n in_o our_o body_n which_o humour_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o many_o great_a disease_n and_o hurtful_a impression_n in_o our_o body_n etc._n etc._n in_o this_o chapter_n there_o be_v many_o thing_n very_o well_o and_o learned_o put_v down_o as_o the_o nature_n and_o description_n of_o melancholy_n the_o difference_n between_o the_o natural_a melancholy_n and_o that_o melancholy_a which_o come_v by_o adustion_n and_o accidental_o the_o strange_a effect_n and_o property_n that_o it_o breed_v and_o bring_v forth_o in_o our_o body_n the_o help_n and_o virtue_n that_o it_o have_v in_o it_o to_o make_v man_n wise_a and_o how_o that_o proposition_n which_o avouch_v melancholy_a man_n to_o be_v the_o wise_a man_n be_v right_o to_o be_v understand_v etc._n etc._n all_o these_o thing_n have_v very_o good_a matter_n in_o they_o i_o confess_v and_o though_o some_o of_o they_o by_o some_o man_n both_o be_v and_o may_v be_v contradict_v by_o the_o way_n of_o argument_n and_o scholler_o disputation_n yet_o for_o my_o part_n i_o mind_v not_o to_o gainsay_v any_o one_o of_o they_o for_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n for_o that_o matter_n which_o we_o have_v now_o in_o hand_n but_o when_o all_o be_v say_v that_o you_o can_v say_v and_o when_o all_o those_o odd_a end_n be_v bring_v together_o of_o those_o matter_n which_o you_o have_v lay_v down_o and_o scatter_v in_o your_o discourse_n the_o upshot_n of_o all_o your_o talk_n in_o this_o matter_n be_v and_o must_v be_v this_o that_o tobacco_n increase_v melancholy_a humour_n in_o our_o body_n and_o increase_v it_o so_o abundant_o that_o it_o manifest_o destroy_v the_o temperature_n of_o our_o body_n disorder_v and_o

mark_n i_o be_o sure_a that_o you_o shoot_v at_o well_o sir_n then_o to_o leave_v your_o long_a discourse_n and_o to_o come_v to_o handy_a gripe_n and_o to_o make_v short_a with_o you_o than_o thus_o i_o say_v if_o tobacco_n do_v these_o thing_n which_o you_o affirm_v it_o do_v that_o be_v if_o it_o increase_v the_o humour_n of_o melancholy_n and_o breed_v black_a vapour_n in_o our_o body_n as_o you_o do_v say_v it_o do_v then_o sure_o sir_n it_o must_v needs_o do_v it_o either_o by_o his_o fume_n and_o smoke_n or_o else_o by_o his_o purge_a faculty_n for_o there_o be_v no_o more_o way_n i_o trow_v how_o he_o shall_v do_v it_o for_o by_o the_o way_n of_o food_n i_o think_v you_o mean_v it_o not_o for_o that_o be_v already_o resolve_v upon_o and_o put_v down_o as_o a_o principle_n that_o no_o man_n feed_v on_o tobacco_n as_o to_o make_v his_o meal_n thereof_o well_o then_o as_o touch_v the_o fume_n of_o tobacco_n here_o in_o this_o chapter_n you_o plain_o and_o precise_o affirm_v that_o by_o the_o smoke_n or_o fume_n of_o tobacco_n all_o sort_n of_o melancholy_n be_v augment_v and_o increase_v etc._n etc._n but_o in_o another_o place_n you_o have_v as_o plain_o affirm_v likewise_o that_o no_o impression_n of_o any_o matter_n either_o to_o do_v hurt_v or_o good_a can_v be_v make_v by_o the_o smoke_n or_o fume_n of_o tobacco_n of_o these_o two_o contradiction_n i_o know_v not_o i_o promise_v you_o what_o to_o make_v they_o appear_v unto_o i_o much_o like_a to_o the_o egyptian_n fast_o and_o loose_a so_o that_o a_o man_n can_v tell_v where_o to_o have_v you_o for_o to_o do_v no_o hurt_n at_o all_o as_o you_o say_v and_o to_o do_v so_o great_a a_o harm_n as_o to_o increase_v all_o sort_n of_o melancholy_n be_v a_o matter_n of_o so_o great_a moment_n etc._n etc._n which_o also_o you_o do_v say_v it_o do_v so_o puzzle_v my_o wit_n to_o reconcile_v they_o well_o as_o in_o truth_n i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o if_o you_o can_v reconcile_v they_o i_o pray_v you_o then_o do_v it_o for_o in_o truth_n i_o can_v as_o for_o the_o reason_n that_o you_o bring_v to_o prove_v tobacco_n to_o leave_v in_o our_o brain_n a_o black_a swarfe_n sootish_a tincture_n because_o it_o do_v all_o to_o be-blacke_a the_o pipe_n wherein_o it_o be_v take_v o_o lord_n it_o be_v a_o very_a weak_a reason_n for_o between_o your_o dead_a and_o senseless_a

make_v and_o for_o proof_n hereof_o let_v we_o not_o stand_v now_o upon_o make_v of_o school_n syllogism_n but_o let_v we_o fall_v to_o a_o flat_a demonstration_n and_o one_o demonstration_n you_o

taker_n view_v they_o well_o i_o say_v and_o pry_v into_o their_o nose_n as_o much_o as_o you_o please_v and_o i_o will_v lay_v what_o wager_n you_o will_v that_o you_o shall_v find_v they_o as_o

whereas_o you_o do_v confident_o affirm_v that_o tobacco_n cure_v the_o disease_n call_v gonorrhaea_n and_o there_o upon_o will_v seem_v to_o infer_v that_o therefore_o it_o hinder_v propagation_n good_a lord_n how_o be_v you_o deceive_v therein_o and_o yet_o in_o so_o say_v what_o a_o excellent_a gift_n and_o virtue_n have_v you_o find_v out_o in_o tobacco_n and_o what_o a_o singular_a

too_o yet_o be_v they_o never_o so_o dry_a and_o hard_a but_o they_o can_v admit_v moisture_n well_o enough_o like_v as_o when_o the_o earth_n be_v very_o dry_a in_o so_o much_o that_o it_o be_v
