of_o blood_n and_o origen_n of_o humour_n be_v so_o infect_v and_o corrupt_v that_o in_o the_o last_o year_n they_o engender_v more_o unnatural_a superfluous_a humour_n than_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o right_n and_o natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o body_n but_o some_o will_v say_v by_o this_o opinion_n a_o man_n shall_v ever_o be_v sick_a for_o he_o shall_v never_o want_v corrupt_v humour_n wherein_o sickness_n consist_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o health_n consist_v not_o in_o indivisibili_fw-la in_o a_o indivisible_a point_n so_o that_o it_o admit_v not_o some_o few_o

be_v well_o help_v second_o we_o see_v that_o custom_n breed_v quality_n and_o alteration_n so_o insensible_o as_o in_o long_a time_n till_o they_o come_v to_o a_o full_a growth_n they_o can_v hardly_o be_v perceive_v three_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o that_o have_v for_o example_n the_o first_o fourteen_o year_n of_o his_o life_n for_o his_o clymactericall_a in_o the_o precedent_a year_n
