short_a time_n he_o be_v reduce_v by_o this_o course_n to_o good_a health_n and_o free_a from_o his_o former_a complaint_n by_o the_o whole_a story_n you_o may_v observe_v first_o that_o the_o scurvy_a be_v disguise_v and_o appear_v in_o the_o shape_n of_o other_o disease_n second_o that_o those_o disease_n so_o counterfeit_v be_v not_o cure_v but_o by_o radical_a medicine_n which_o be_v

and_o not_o according_a to_o external_a appearance_n and_o common_a symptom_n which_o be_v very_o fallacious_a but_o i_o proceed_v to_o let_v you_o know_v far_o how_o and_o wherein_o this_o elixir_n be_v useful_a to_o i_o in_o practice_n and_o that_o in_o sudden_a emergent_a case_n of_o faint_a as_o also_o in_o languish_v disease_n and_o case_n of_o extremity_n when_o the_o patient_n be_v spend_v

a_o few_o day_n for_o which_o he_o do_v extol_v the_o medicine_n but_o be_v past_o the_o possibility_n of_o recovery_n and_o incapable_a of_o other_o medicine_n requisite_a or_o cure_n he_o die_v but_o some_o may_v object_v this_o possible_o may_v be_v a_o good_a medicine_n in_o desperate_a case_n and_o approach_n of_o death_n but_o how_o can_v it_o be_v proper_a and_o fit_a for_o a_o man_n that_o can_v eat_v his_o meat_n well_o and_o walk_v abroad_o only_o incline_v to_o the_o scurvy_a and_o some_o small_a impediment_n from_o thence_o i_o answer_v that_o medicine_n which_o be_v endow_v with_o so_o much_o virtue_n to_o bring_v relief_n to_o a_o decay_a or_o die_a man_n must_v needs_o be_v of_o great_a power_n and_o efficacy_n to_o give_v vigour_n and_o strength_n to_o all_o the_o
