from_o whence_o come_v it_o that_o those_o which_o be_v seize_v with_o a_o great_a cold_a have_v their_o flesh_n look_v as_o dead_a folk_n and_o their_o visage_n tarnish_v with_o a_o leaden_a colour_n

of_o the_o fruit_n and_o put_v on_o the_o outside_n that_o which_o be_v least_o profitable_a to_o the_o production_n of_o the_o like_a q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o the_o fruit_n and_o such_o as_o

be_v it_o that_o vulgar_o they_o hold_v that_o after_o raw_a fruit_n they_o must_v be_v temper_v with_o drink_v wine_n a._n because_o that_o raw_a fruit_n boil_v within_o the_o stomach_n as_o must_v

that_o from_o the_o stomach_n issue_n and_o evapourate_a fume_n of_o a_o evil_a savour_n if_o they_o be_v not_o temper_v with_o fresh_a victual_n &_o this_o come_v principal_o to_o much_o sit_v person_n to_o the_o sick_a and_o those_o which_o have_v eat_v too_o much_o because_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o have_v crudity_n in_o their_o stomach_n or_o that_o they_o can_v well_o

and_o as_o they_o respire_v it_o and_o in_o summer_n we_o can_v see_v or_o discern_v it_o a._n it_o be_v because_o that_o in_o summer_n the_o exterior_a air_n be_v more_o subtle_a and_o more_o hot_a then_o in_o another_o season_n the_o breath_n which_o issue_v from_o the_o interior_a part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v so_o heat_v that_o it_o spread_v sudden_o through_o the_o air_n affect_v the_o
