greatelye_a lament_v the_o ignorance_n of_o the_o common_a sort_n of_o people_n who_o for_o the_o most_o part_n be_v persuade_v that_o one_o medicine_n be_v sufficient_a for_o one_o disease_n &_o not_o regard_v that_o one_o disease_n may_v come_v of_o sundry_a cause_n and_o therefore_o it_o do_v necessary_o require_v diverse_a medicine_n as_o for_o example_n weakness_n of_o the_o stomach_n that_o it_o can_v digest_v well_o or_o that_o it_o have_v no_o good_a appetite_n be_v one_o disease_n which_o nevertheless_o may_v come_v a_o dozen_o sundry_a way_n at_o the_o least_o therefore_o the_o cure_n of_o it_o can_v be_v always_o with_o one_o medicine_n as_o if_o weakness_n of_o the_o stomach_n do_v come_v of_o a_o weak_a distempure_a of_o itself_o only_o than_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v make_v hot_a by_o some_o mean_n but_o if_o heat_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o weakness_n than_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v cool_v likewise_o you_o must_v moisten_v dryness_n and_o dry_a

must_v that_o ill_a humour_n of_o necessity_n be_v purge_v out_o either_o by_o a_o vomit_n or_o else_o a_o purgation_n with_o a_o meek_a medicine_n for_o it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v phlegm_n then_o

meet_a purgation_n must_v be_v use_v to_o expel_v the_o humour_n but_o if_o the_o imbecility_n of_o the_o stomach_n be_v cause_v by_o a_o distillation_n and_o rheum_n that_o fall_v out_o of_o the_o head_n into_o it_o then_o be_v the_o cure_n to_o be_v remedy_v in_o yâ—_z head_n and_o not_o in_o the_o stomach_n likewise_o if_o distempure_a of_o the_o liver_n or_o spleen_n do_v weaken_v the_o stomach_n than_o the_o cure_n consist_v in_o the_o heal_n of_o those_o member_n and_o not_o in_o minister_a of_o any_o thing_n for_o the_o stomach_n therefore_o let_v no_o man_n think_v it_o sufficient_a for_o the_o physician_n if_o he_o know_v that_o a_o man_n have_v such_o a_o disease_n as_o the_o ague_n the_o colic_n the_o flix_a or_o such_o other_o like_o etc._n etc._n that_o then_o
