notwithstanding_o bipartite_a &_o divide_v into_o two_o part_n that_o be_v to_o wit_n conservation_n and_o preservation_n conservation_n when_o the_o body_n be_v of_o itself_o perfect_o sound_n as_o

of_o the_o neutral_a or_o mean_a estate_n between_o health_n and_o sickness_n the_o cause_n of_o thing_n not_o natural_a do_v show_v so_o that_o sometime_o conservation_n and_o sometime_o ablation_n

of_o the_o mind_n whereunto_o be_v add_v the_o age_n temperature_n custom_n art_n and_o the_o proper_a nature_n of_o every_o several_a person_n and_o they_o be_v call_v mean_a because_o they_o do_v sometime_o the_o office_n of_o conservation_n and_o sometime_o of_o ablation_n ablation_n when_o for_o example_n the_o air_n be_v hurtful_a to_o sickness_n for_o it_o be_v either_o alter_v with_o

these_o indication_n be_v call_v common_a because_o aswell_o the_o conserver_n or_o the_o preserver_n of_o health_n as_o also_o the_o curer_n of_o disease_n use_v they_o i_o therefore_o mean_v to_o
