life_n in_o what_o respect_v it_o be_v necessary_a or_o unfit_a for_o all_o degree_n of_o man_n will_v too_o much_o lengthen_v this_o part_n in_o the_o resolution_n of_o sundry_a question_n which_o i_o now_o do_v purposely_o avoid_v i_o only_o intend_v to_o write_v in_o the_o praise_n or_o discommendation_n of_o it_o so_o far_o as_o it_o have_v relation_n to_o man_n of_o great_a quality_n and_o

know_v the_o unseasonablenesse_n of_o the_o time_n early_o and_o late_o and_o so_o the_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o weather_n heat_n and_o cold_a and_o wet_a of_o diet_n little_a or_o none_o or_o

paralel_v these_o with_o the_o chance_n and_o necessity_n in_o time_n of_o service_n the_o often_o use_v of_o these_o exercise_n will_v make_v the_o labour_n less_o difficile_a and_o hard_a when_o

those_o that_o be_v most_o in_o love_n with_o the_o town_n in_o summer_n ever_o fly_v into_o the_o country_n and_o the_o general_a reason_n of_o it_o must_v only_o be_v to_o change_v a_o bad_a air_n
