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

it_o be_v free_v from_o those_o noisome_a vapour_n and_o consequent_o infection_n which_o throng_v and_o populous_a city_n do_v produce_v and_o this_o daily_a practice_n make_v manifest_a for_o in_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 for_o a_o good_a wherein_o though_o the_o country_n do_v always_o predominate_a yet_o in_o summer_n the_o air_n of_o the_o city_n be_v so_o far_o from_o good_a that_o it_o be_v neither_o tolerable_a
