divers_a part_n of_o the_o body_n unto_o which_o doctrine_n general_o propound_v two_o other_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n must_v be_v add_v viz._n first_o that_o not_o only_o the_o seed_n and_o

because_o in_o the_o syncope_n the_o breathe_n and_o pulse_n do_v whole_o cease_v but_o in_o the_o womb-sickness_n it_o remain_v in_o a_o small_a measure_n till_o they_o come_v into_o the_o very_a
