that_o some_o man_n nature_n abhor_v exceed_o some_o sort_n of_o meat_n and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o disguest_n they_o as_o for_o example_n say_v he_o some_o can_v abide_v beef_n other_o shell_n

great_a dispute_n among_o physician_n what_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o paroxysm_n or_o fit_n in_o ague_n and_o once_o i_o myself_o be_v trouble_v with_o a_o tertian_n ague_n in_o italy_n in_o the_o city_n of_o como_n there_o come_v two_o physician_n my_o dear_a friend_n and_o a_o doctor_n of_o divinity_n all_o at_o one_o time_n to_o visit_v i_o and_o even_o then_o i_o stand_v in_o

one_o doubt_n about_o my_o disease_n they_o answer_v with_o a_o good_a will_n well_o say_v i_o you_o both_o conclude_v and_o it_o stand_v with_o good_a reason_n that_o this_o sickness_n of_o i_o

consume_v why_o do_v my_o ague_n return_v if_o it_o be_v not_o consume_v why_o do_v my_o ague_n depart_v the_o physician_n here_o answer_v one_o contrary_a to_o another_o for_o the_o first_o say_v it_o be_v disgue_v why_o then_o return_v my_o ague_n for_o this_o cause_n quoth_v he_o the_o ague_n proceed_v not_o only_o of_o choler_n but_o of_o choler_n putrify_v corrupt_a and_o poison_a now_o sir_n the_o choler_n poison_a be_v consume_v but_o other_o choler_n which_o remain_v be_v not_o corrupt_v but_o by_o the_o next_o paroxysm_n it_o will_v be_v corrupt_v well_o say_v i_o what_o thing_n be_v that_o which_o corrupt_v &_o poison_v that_o good_a choler_n which_o before_o be_v not_o corrupt_v it_o seem_v strange_a to_o i_o how_o so_o much_o precise_o shall_v be_v corrupt_v and_o the_o

sure_a he_o satisfy_v none_o of_o we_o all_o the_o other_o doctor_n of_o physic_n say_v it_o be_v not_o consume_v but_o nature_n feel_v the_o force_n of_o that_o poison_n unite_a herself_o to_o fight_v against_o it_o and_o so_o allay_v most_o of_o the_o vehemency_n vigour_n and_o malignity_n thereof_o and_o he_o give_v a_o example_n of_o a_o pot_n of_o water_n set_v on_o the_o fire_n for_o

return_v to_o the_o first_o coldness_n so_o quoth_v he_o the_o poison_n of_o the_o choler_n by_o nature_n might_n be_v overcome_v when_o the_o ague_n depart_v but_o after_o that_o those_o spirit_n and_o force_n which_o nature_n have_v unite_v be_v disperse_v the_o fire_n be_v quench_v and_o choler_n again_o corrupt_v but_o quoth_v the_o other_o physician_n so_o the_o sickness_n shall_v never_o depart_v for_o if_o your_o choler_n be_v still_o in_o cool_v and_o heat_n and_o nature_n now_o fight_v now_o cease_v when_o i_o pray_v you_o shall_v this_o combat_n be_v final_o end_v marry_o sir_n quoth_v his_o fellow_n doctor_n in_o this_o sort_n nature_n mittigate_v the_o force_n of_o choler_n this_o fit_a and_o allay_v they_o now_o nature_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n be_v strengthen_v with_o

of_o blood_n and_o origen_n of_o humour_n be_v so_o infect_v and_o corrupt_v that_o in_o the_o last_o year_n they_o engender_v more_o unnatural_a superfluous_a humour_n than_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o right_n and_o natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o body_n but_o some_o will_v say_v by_o this_o opinion_n a_o man_n shall_v ever_o be_v sick_a for_o he_o shall_v never_o want_v corrupt_v humour_n wherein_o sickness_n consist_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o health_n consist_v not_o in_o indivisibili_fw-la in_o a_o indivisible_a point_n so_o that_o it_o admit_v not_o some_o few_o
