my_o book_n aforementioned_a present_o after_o a_o man_n have_v lie_v with_o a_o infectious_a woman_n he_o shall_v find_v a_o faintness_n or_o indisposition_n a_o lassitude_n over_o the_o whole_a

common_o be_v pain_n in_o the_o head_n with_o a_o vagrant_a wander_a pain_n which_o go_v into_o the_o shoulder_n from_o one_o to_o the_o other_o also_o very_o frequent_o pain_n in_o the_o groin_n

yet_o there_o be_v many_o other_o way_n that_o honest_a and_o innocent_a person_n of_o both_o sex_n be_v and_o may_v be_v infect_v as_o sometime_o by_o the_o corrupt_a seed_n of_o the_o parent_n to_o the_o child_n and_o so_o the_o disease_n become_v hereditary_a and_o after_o they_o be_v bear_v it_o show_v itself_o first_o or_o last_o upon_o the_o child_n according_a to_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o disease_n in_o the_o parent_n and_o although_o this_o disease_n be_v take_v by_o contagion_n as_o well_o as_o copulation_n and_o so_o other_o may_v be_v infect_v divers_a way_n as_o by_o sweat_v
