disease_n in_o fieri_fw-la and_o in_fw-la facto_fw-la the_o prognostic_n of_o hope_n or_o fear_v in_o the_o course_n and_o motion_n of_o this_o disease_n depend_v upon_o the_o mutation_n and_o

in_o this_o sense_n that_o the_o great_a in_o quantity_n be_v best_a in_o judgement_n because_o they_o educe_v with_o they_o from_o the_o centre_n to_o the_o circumference_n a_o great_a proportion_n of_o peccant_a humour_n which_o be_v a_o great_a disoneration_n or_o disburthen_v of_o nature_n and_o aelius_n to_o judge_v the_o large_a in_o quantity_n to_o indicate_v a_o great_a fullness_n of_o

retard_v nature_n in_o it●_n motion_n the_o motion_n of_o nature_n in_o this_o case_n be_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o disease_n to_o the_o eruption_n of_o the_o pustules_fw-la critical_a and_o

a_o disorder_n by_o conjunction_n with_o it_o the_o enemy_n will_v not_o neglect_v the_o opportunity_n of_o conquest_n and_o in_o this_o argument_n a_o simile_n may_v become_v this_o place_n though_o it_o be_v not_o a_o perfect_a demonstration_n because_o disease_n be_v as_o mutineer_n against_o natural_a government_n &_o nature_n when_o it_o be_v itself_o and_o without_o disturbance_n will_v
