carry_v away_o with_o former_a prejudice_n and_o be_v capable_a of_o these_o matter_n this_o be_v in_o brief_a my_o answer_n arsenic_n and_o orpiment_n be_v no_o way_n poysonus_fw-la or_o hurtful_a to_o nature_n but_o by_o their_o corrosivenes_n or_o fret_a quality_n otherwise_o they_o be_v as_o good_a if_o not_o better_o both_o preseruative_n and_o curer_n as_o any_o other_o most_o in_o use_n and_o therefore_o so_o long_o as_o they_o be_v keep_v from_o corrode_a or_o fret_v they_o can_v do_v no_o harm_n but_o may_v do_v much_o good_a in_o that_o kind_n which_o they_o respect_v that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o all_o arsenicall_a disease_n as_o the_o plague_n the_o pleurisy_n noli_fw-la i_o tangere_fw-la canker_n and_o fistulas_n and_o all_o of_o that_o kind_n if_o thou_o desire_v this_o to_o

who_o before_o they_o play_v their_o part_n before_o the_o people_n drink_v first_o in_o their_o lodging_n for_o that_o purpose_n half_o a_o pint_n or_o more_o of_o sallatoyle_n and_o then_o come_v to_o their_o stage_n take_v inward_o in_o all_o man_n sight_n incredible_a quantity_n of_o these_o poison_n and_o then_o take_v nothing_o after_o they_o but_o their_o treacle_n which_o they_o have_v to_o sell_v make_v their_o beholder_n believe_v that_o by_o they_o they_o be_v preserve_v from_o all_o harm_n of_o this_o thou_o may_v see_v more_o at_o large_a in_o mathiolus_n in_o his_o
