have_v admit_v it_o to_o a_o considerable_a quantity_n in_o this_o potable_a balsam_n of_o life_n some_o short_a but_o necessary_a reflection_n upon_o the_o mean_n of_o preservation_n and_o renovation_n the_o reason_n why_o i_o have_v give_v the_o name_n of_o balsam_n of_o life_n to_o this_o excellent_a composition_n be_v because_o this_o medicament_n be_v not_o a_o bare_a remedy_n for_o the_o cure_n of_o disease_n but_o that_o also_o through_o its_o admirable_a virtue_n and_o quality_n it_o be_v a_o preserver_n of_o life_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o its_o balsamic_a principle_n and_o great_a virtue_n in_o renovation_n but_o because_o there_o be_v divers_a person_n that_o will_v not_o allow_v of_o preserver_n and_o especial_o of_o renewer_n i_o will_v endeavour_v in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o i_o can_v possible_a to_o assert_v it_o in_o order_n to_o this_o that_o those_o to_o who_o i_o address_v this_o discourse_n may_v the_o better_a relish_n what_o i_o shall_v say_v hereafter_o i_o will_v desire_v they_o to_o reflect_v a_o little_a upon_o the_o daily_a method_n in_o preservation_n of_o dead_a body_n such_o as_o be_v whole_o deprive_v of_o all_o inward_a assist_a quality_n which_o be_v nevertheless_o so_o preserve_v through_o the_o assistance_n of_o some_o medicament_n as_o to_o be_v keep_v from_o putrefaction_n for_o many_o after_o age_n and_o then_o i_o hope_v they_o will_v be_v more_o incline_v to_o approve_v and_o allow_v of_o a_o preserve_n and_o prolong_v power_n in_o such_o balsamic_a remedy_n as_o may_v be_v administer_v to_o live_a body_n such_o as_o be_v replenish_v with_o vital_a spirit_n and_o a_o native_a balsam_n of_o life_n now_o whereas_o our_o nature_n according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o learned_a can_v renew_v herself_o without_o the_o aid_n and_o assistance_n of_o some_o medicament_n by_o reason_n of_o she_o own_o insufficiency_n in_o the_o separation_n &_o extraction_n of_o a_o pure_a &_o clear_a quintessence_n from_o her_o ordinary_a and_o usual_a food_n whereby_o to_o renew_v herself_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o these_o assister_n hold_v the_o place_n of_o preserver_n and_o renovator_n for_o can_v nature_n make_v a_o pure_a extraction_n from_o the_o aliment_n such_o a_o one_o as_o will_v be_v require_v for_o renovation_n it_o will_v be_v content_v with_o very_o little_a proportion_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_n she_o do_v daily_o crave_v a_o large_a quantity_n of_o the_o say_a aliment_n to_o supply_v herself_o withal_o whereby_o a_o abundance_n of_o impurity_n be_v distribute_v throughout_o the_o whole_a body_n which_o put_v she_o to_o a_o continual_a labour_n in_o the_o expelling_a of_o they_o again_o this_o its_o deficiency_n be_v daily_o manifest_v by_o a_o continue_a vissicitude_n of_o lapsy_n into_o divers_a sort_n of_o distemper_n but_o can_v she_o extract_v any_o such_o excellency_n from_o the_o aliment_n life_n will_v then_o be_v a_o continue_a series_n of_o health_n without_o alteration_n now_o since_o our_o nature_n be_v destitute_a of_o such_o quality_n &_o too_o weak_a &_o deficient_a in_o herself_o to_o attain_v to_o such_o a_o height_n of_o perfection_n by_o her_o peculiar_a fire_n &_o the_o instrument_n of_o her_o own_o laboratory_n medicine_n must_v be_v invite_v to_o her_o aid_n with_o refine_a balsamic_n and_o spirituous_a medicament_n such_o as_o almighty_a god_n who_o have_v promise_v length_n of_o day_n through_o his_o immense_a goodness_n to_o mankind_n have_v ordain_v for_o preservation_n and_o prolongation_n of_o
