but_o for_o other_o cause_n for_o those_o thing_n that_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n be_v either_o such_o as_o cleanse_v the_o body_n from_o excrement_n or_o that_o dry_a it_o whereby_o it_o do_v not_o so_o easy_o receive_v the_o poison_n now_o that_o the_o smoke_n of_o tobacco_n do_v dry_a the_o brain_n and_o the_o body_n and_o void_a out_o the_o humour_n by_o the_o mouth_n and_o sometime_o by_o vomit_n it_o be_v evident_a enough_o and_o thus_o perhaps_o it_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n but_o no_o peculiar_a virtue_n of_o effect_v that_o after_o this_o manner_n be_v find_v in_o the_o smoke_n for_o those_o thing_n that_o do_v evacuate_v do_v only_o by_o accident_n preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n as_o purge_v blood_a etc._n etc._n therefore_o no_o reason_n enforce_v that_o we_o shall_v attribute_v to_o the_o smoke_n any_o peculiar_a virtue_n of_o preserve_v from_o the_o plague_n but_o beside_o many_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o plague_n a_o man_n ought_v to_o abstain_v

of_o bodenstein_n a_o famous_a chemist_n who_o in_o his_o writing_n profess_v a_o most_o certain_a manner_n of_o cure_v or_o prevent_v the_o pestilence_n who_o nevertheless_o get_v it_o himself_o at_o

the_o same_o from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a sympathy_n and_o familiarity_n betwixt_o that_o ointment_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o a_o horse_n and_o a_o certain_a learned_a man_n confess_v that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o virtue_n of_o heal_v in_o a_o man_n and_o in_o a_o horse_n which_o if_o it_o be_v true_a in_o vain_a be_v man_n blood_n prefer_v before_o a_o horse_n blood_n for_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v the_o same_o to_o one_o three_o be_v the_o same_o among_o themselves_o yea_o crollius_n faith_n that_o not_o only_o a_o horse_n but_o also_o all_o
