estate_n be_v because_o we_o be_v subject_a again_o to_o fall_v therein_o and_o may_v still_o have_v need_n of_o the_o old_a receipt_n as_o those_o that_o fall_v again_o into_o the_o same_o disease_n

or_o at_o least_o have_v his_o sore_n to_o rankle_v and_o break_v out_o again_o therefore_o the_o provident_a patient_n record_v their_o receipt_n and_o resolve_v to_o use_v they_o as_o occasion_n serve_v reason_n 2_o second_o no_o new_a prescription_n can_v prove_v so_o safe_a and_o sure_a as_o those_o that_o be_v experience_v prove_v such_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v void_a of_o danger_n and_o infallible_a and_o as_o he_o be_v worthy_o account_v the_o best_a physician_n that_o recover_v most_o patient_n and_o he_o the_o skilful_a surgeon_n that_o heal_v most_o dangerous_a wound_n so_o that_o physic_n that_o potion_n that_o plaster_n by_o which_o sick_a and_o sore_a man_n have_v be_v cure_v heal_v and_o restore_v be_v most_o worthy_a to_o be_v register_v and_o record_v such_o receipt_n i_o say_v be_v most_o precious_a that_o have_v be_v prove_v and_o will_v not_o likely_o fail_v reason_n 3_o three_o that_o we_o shall_v remember_v these_o comfortable_a mean_n and_o remedy_n to_o ease_v we_o in_o our_o trial_n hand_n and_o to_o keep_v we_o from_o despair_n they_o be_v write_v &_o register_v to_o our_o hand_n in_o god_n book_n as_o also_o to_o confirm_v our_o knowledge_n

whatsoever_o thing_n be_v write_v aforetime_o 15.4_o be_v write_v for_o our_o learning_n that_o we_o through_o patience_n and_o comfort_n of_o the_o scripture_n may_v have_v hope_n and_o as_o the_o same_o infirmity_n sickness_n and_o malady_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n do_v still_o remain_v to_o mortal_a man_n so_o the_o same_o wholesome_a receipt_n mean_n and_o medicine_n with_o the_o
