the_o disease_n be_v take_v or_o remove_v away_o the_o body_n become_v equal_o temper_v for_o as_o the_o disease_n do_v waste_v the_o body_n do_v cool_a thus_o it_o be_v the_o sharpness_n saltness_n

meat_n make_v the_o stomach_n weak_a by_o reason_n the_o substance_n be_v not_o sufficient_o solid_a for_o as_o very_o gross_a meat_n over-power_n the_o stomach_n by_o the_o laborious_a work_n thereon_o so_o very_o fine_a and_o tender_a meat_n make_v it_o lazy_a and_o weak_a for_o want_v of_o exercise_n very_o small_a drink_n be_v very_o waterish_a quench_v the_o natural_a heat_n and_o

according_a to_o the_o effect_n may_v cure_v by_o chance_n but_o kill_v with_o ignorance_n then_o they_o ask_v she_o if_o the_o spirit_n be_v always_o affect_v with_o the_o distemper_n of_o the_o

likewise_o a_o cold_a disease_a body_n may_v have_v hectic_a spirit_n and_o thus_o both_o the_o animal_n and_o vital_a spirit_n may_v be_v hot_a and_o the_o more_o solid_a part_n or_o humour_n of_o the_o body_n cold_a also_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o spirit_n may_v be_v quench_v and_o the_o body_n burning-hot_a as_o the_o stomach_n liver_n or_o other_o part_n may_v be_v parch_v with_o heat_n

a_o enemy_n to_o all_o melancholy_a body_n be_v full_a of_o sharp_a humour_n like_o aquafortis_n which_o be_v breed_v in_o the_o body_n or_o as_o a_o sharp_a green_a humour_n which_o be_v a_o

to_o the_o gout_n by_o reason_n that_o the_o gout_n proceed_v from_o a_o hot-baked_n dry_a salt_n or_o sharp_a humour_n it_o be_v a_o bitter_a or_o sulphureous_a humour_n or_o a_o limy_a chalky_a

can_v perceive_v but_o that_o the_o mineral_n may_v contract_v and_o confirm_v humour_n into_o stone_n as_o well_o as_o dissolve_v stone_n for_o think_v their_o acuteness_n be_v penetrate_v and_o so_o may_v dissolve_v yet_o their_o dryness_n be_v contract_n unite_n combine_a and_o they_o be_v not_o only_o dry_a by_o the_o insipidness_n of_o their_o nature_n but_o by_o their_o sharpness_n for_o all_o sharpness_n be_v dry_v more_o or_o less_o and_o though_o sharpness_n be_v actual_o dissolve_v by_o corrode_a yet_o it_o be_v virtual_o dry_v by_o heat_a for_o corrode_a be_v the_o cause_n of_o heat_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v rub_v or_o grate_v hard_o or_o swift_o grow_v hot_a even_o stone_n or_o any_o metal_n which_o be_v the_o hard_a matter_n we_o know_v but_o loose_a matter_n as_o wood_n will_v be_v set_v on_o fire_n wherefore_o if_o wood_n stone_n and_o metal_n will_v become_v actual_o hot_a by_o rub_v or_o grate_v actual_o thereon_o well_o may_v soft_a flesh_n especial_o the_o inward_a part_n that_o be_v most_o tender_a and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o sharpness_n to_o corrode_v and_o the_o nature_n of_o corrode_a or_o rub_v to_o heat_n so_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o heat_n to_o drink_v up_o moisture_n and_o make_v all_o thing_n dry_a and_o as_o sharp_a thing_n may_v cleanse_v ulcer_n by_o eat_v the_o filth_n therein_o or_o may_v be_v good_a to_o take_v off_o superfluous_a flesh_n call_v proud-flesh_n in_o sore_n or_o may_v dissolve_v some_o hard_a humour_n moderate_o take_v or_o apply_v so_o they_o may_v make_v ulcer_n sore_n and_o wound_n and_o contract_n and_o confirm_v humour_n if_o immoderate_o or_o unnecessary_o or_o wrongful_o apply_v but_o as_o i_o say_v the_o mineral-water_n may_v as_o well_o cause_v the_o stone_n in_o the_o kidney_n or_o bladder_n as_o dissolve_v it_o and_o may_v also_o ulcerate_v as_o soon_o as_o cleanse_v but_o the_o mineral-water_n do_v rather_o make_v a_o passage_n and_o send_v forth_o gravel_n by_o the_o quantity_n that_o be_v drink_v and_o pass_v through_o the_o uretory_n which_o like_o a_o stream_n do_v wash_v and_o carry_v all_o loose_a matter_n before_o it_o and_o not_o so_o much_o by_o the_o

be_v most_o proper_a for_o must_v be_v purge_v and_o empty_a before_o they_o take_v they_o lest_o the_o weight_n and_o quantity_n of_o the_o water_n shall_v carry_v obstruction_n to_o the_o part_n open_a and_o free_a by_o carry_v too_o sudden_o or_o forcible_o or_o press_v or_o thrust_v too_o hard_o then_o they_o ask_v she_o about_o the_o nature_n of_o purging-drug_n she_o say_v all_o purging-drug_n be_v full_a of_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n they_o be_v so_o active_a and_o quick_a in_o operation_n for_o say_v she_o whatsoever_o have_v most_o spirit_n be_v most_o active_a which_o show_v say_v she_o that_o bird_n have_v more_o spirit_n which_o be_v innate_a matter_n than_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o animal-kind_n for_o they_o be_v always_o hop_v and_o fly_v about_o also_o chirp_a whistle_a and_o sing_v which_o show_v they_o not_o only_o to_o be_v more_o active_a as_o have_v more_o vital_a or_o sensitive_a spirit_n but_o also_o more_o rational_a as_o be_v full_a of_o animal_n spirit_n but_o to_o return_v to_o drug_n say_v she_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v more_o of_o the_o sensitive_a spirit_n vulgar_o call_v vital_a spirit_n which_o work_n upon_o the_o gross_a

in_o the_o body_n then_o they_o ask_v she_o what_o be_v the_o best_a study_n for_o such_o as_o will_v practice_v physic_n she_o say_v natural_a philosophy_n for_o say_v she_o those_o can_v never_o

for_o if_o they_o do_v not_o study_v nature_n that_o make_v the_o body_n they_o shall_v never_o know_v remedy_n to_o cure_v the_o body_n for_o those_o that_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o work_n of_o
