be_v of_o a_o ill_a humour_n or_o blood_n the_o which_o settle_v in_o their_o milk_n be_v the_o place_n at_o that_o time_n where_o they_o discharge_v themselves_o now_o you_o must_v note_v that_o these_o sort_n of_o woman_n be_v in_o a_o better_a condition_n when_o they_o be_v nurse_n then_o when_o they_o be_v not_o for_o when_o they_o be_v not_o nurse_n they_o be_v subject_a to_o pain_n in_o their_o arm_n sometime_o and_o sometime_o in_o their_o shoulder_n and_o sometime_o in_o their_o leg_n or_o thigh_n or_o else_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o waterish_a eye_n or_o swell_v in_o their_o eye_n or_o nose_n now_o the_o infant_n which_o suck_v these_o nurse_n if_o they_o be_v fat_a it_o be_v not_o good_a but_o soft_a fat_a and_o they_o be_v dull_a and_o sottish_a and_o come_v to_o

more_o trouble_v with_o bad_a juice_n in_o their_o infancy_n than_o their_o parent_n in_o their_o old_a age_n and_o if_o the_o reum_fw-la be_v salt_n the_o milk_n be_v of_o a_o blackish_a and_o bluish_a colour_n but_o if_o it_o be_v of_o choler_n it_o be_v yet_o the_o more_o dangerous_a and_o venomous_a to_o the_o child_n there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o nurse_n and_o they_o be_v such_o

when_o this_o do_v happen_v they_o be_v more_o dangerous_a than_o the_o former_a and_o the_o child_n must_v present_o be_v take_v away_o for_o they_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o conceive_v then_o to_o
