for_o nature_n be_v active_a as_o well_o as_o passive_a in_o the_o cure_n of_o disease_n and_o those_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o no_o physician_n but_o sometime_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o

be_v not_o perfect_v till_o nature_n strengthen_v the_o joint_n and_o breed_v new_a flesh_n so_o also_o to_o the_o cure_n of_o a_o hectic_a fever_n there_o must_v be_v a_o concurrence_n of_o the_o
