ought_v to_o be_v eat_v in_o the_o morning_n and_o the_o small_a quantity_n and_o such_o as_o be_v easy_a of_o concoction_n in_o the_o afternoon_n viz._n milk-pottage_n milk_n and_o flour_n milk_n as_o it_o come_v from_o the_o cow_n after_o it_o be_v cold_a eat_v with_o bread_n water-gruels_a etc._n etc._n now_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o in_o the_o morning_n the_o spirit_n

to_o help_n concoction_n which_o seem_v to_o give_v some_o ease_n for_o the_o present_a but_o in_o a_o little_a time_n the_o same_o inconveniency_n will_v return_v and_o then_o again_o away_o they_o
