and_o then_o second_o he_o err_v likewise_o in_o this_o that_o he_o account_v phlegm_n and_o the_o serous_a humour_n for_o all_o one_o humour_n as_o likewise_o in_o this_o that_o he_o will_v have_v

his_o ten_o book_n of_o the_o composit_a of_o medicament_n according_a to_o the_o place_n and_o 2_o chap._n where_o he_o write_v that_o the_o humour_n which_o excit_v the_o arthritis_fw-la be_v

mingle_v together_o with_o those_o aforesaid_a or_o if_o any_o one_o will_v speak_v more_o exact_o as_o concern_v it_o he_o may_v say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o phlegmatic_a humour_n but_o that_o

that_o neither_o can_v so_o sharp_a a_o pain_n proceed_v from_o such_o a_o cold_a and_o crude_a humour_n and_o because_o that_o the_o arthritis_fw-la invade_v the_o sick_a person_n sudden_o and_o
