3_o it_o be_v likewise_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o a_o great_a part_n of_o that_o green_a food_n before_o mention_v do_v often_o lie_v a_o considerable_a time_n before_o they_o be_v eat_v especial_o

the_o pure_a spirituous_a virtue_n of_o all_o such_o food_n for_o all_o green_a food_n be_v natural_o subject_a to_o putrefaction_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o phlegmatic_a body_n this_o make_v they_o more_o unhealthy_a and_o dangerous_a then_o otherwise_o they_o will_v be_v if_o fresh_a and_o lively_a 5thly_a in_o this_o season_n the_o sun_n also_o decline_v in_o strength_n and_o vigour_n which_o be_v the_o central_a power_n and_o life_n of_o all_o thing_n they_o do_v proportionable_o decline_v as_o appear_v in_o herbage_n also_o the_o earth_n which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o all_o thing_n

of_o the_o earth_n 6thly_a in_o this_o season_n viz._n from_o june_n to_o the_o last_o of_o october_n most_o sort_n of_o cattle_n breed_v many_o disease_n first_o from_o the_o heat_n and_o gross_a
