disease_n i_o have_v declare_v sufficient_o in_o the_o former_a chapter_n how_o that_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o nature_n only_o to_o strive_v and_o fight_v against_o disease_n scruaunte_n and_o how_o that_o the_o physician_n be_v but_o the_o minister_n and_o servant_n of_o nature_n either_o to_o add_v soche_n thing_n to_o she_o as_o she_o may_v use_v to_o destroy_v the_o disease_n withal_o or_o else_o by_o pluck_v clean_o away_o the_o greatesse_n part_n of_o that_o matter_n which_o cause_v and_o maintain_v the_o sickness_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v mete_v and_o necessary_a for_o the_o

one_o disease_n not_o consider_v that_o one_o disease_n may_v come_v of_o sundry_a cause_n and_o therefore_o it_o necessary_o require_v diverse_a medicine_n as_o for_o example_n weakness_n of_o the_o

cure_n of_o it_o can_v not_o be_v always_o with_o one_o medicine_n but_o rather_o in_o each_o cause_n with_o a_o sundry_a medicine_n as_o if_o weakness_n of_o the_o stomach_n come_v of_o a_o cold_a distempure_a of_o itself_o only_o than_o it_o must_v be_v make_v hot_a bosom_n mean_n if_o heat_n cause_v the_o weakness_n than_o it_o must_v be_v cool_v likewise_o you_o must_v moisten_v dryness_n

then_o must_v that_o superfluous_a humour_n be_v pourge_v out_o either_o by_o vomit_n or_o purgation_n with_o a_o meek_a medicine_n as_o if_o it_o be_v fleme_n with_o a_o medicine_n that_o expel_v fleme_n if_o choler_n be_v abound_v there_o then_o must_v it_o be_v soche_o a_o medicine_n as_o purge_v choler_n and_o likewise_o for_o melancholy_n a_o meet_a purgation_n must_v be_v use_v to_o draw_v out_o the_o humour_n but_o if_o the_o imbecility_n of_o the_o stomach_n be_v cause_v by_o a_o distilation_n and_o rheum_n that_o fall_v out_o of_o the_o head_n into_o it_o then_o be_v the_o cure_n to_o be_v wrought_v in_o the_o head_n and_o not_o at_o all_o in_o the_o stomach_n and_o likewise_o if_o distempure_a of_o the_o liver_n or_o spleen_n do_v weaken_v the_o stomach_n the_o cure_n consist_v in_o heal_v those_o member_n and_o not_o in_o minister_a any_o thing_n for_o the_o stomach_n for_o it_o be_v well_o as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v cure_v thus_o it_o be_v declare_v at_o

let_v no_o man_n think_v it_o sufficient_a for_o the_o physician_n if_o he_o know_v that_o a_o man_n have_v soche_v a_o disease_n as_o the_o ague_n the_o colic_n the_o flix_a or_o soch_v other_o
