the_o fatherly_a care_n which_o he_o have_v of_o we_o all_o for_o though_o that_o by_o our_o sin_n we_o have_v merit_v death_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n which_o death_n our_o sin_n have_v not_o

that_o he_o have_v give_v we_o medicine_n fit_a and_o necessary_a for_o heal_v the_o other_o be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o and_o the_o theoric_n how_o to_o apply_v they_o to_o their_o

discourse_n we_o be_v to_o note_v what_o judgement_n we_o must_v make_v of_o so_o great_a virtue_n as_o we_o find_v in_o all_o herb_n and_o drug_n and_o by_o like_a reason_n that_o we_o must_v consider_v thereof_o in_o the_o property_n of_o corn_n bread_n wine_n and_o of_o all_o meat_n and_o drink_n which_o be_v as_o ordinary_a and_o continual_a medicine_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o

into_o grievous_a malady_n and_o final_o into_o death_n forasmuch_o then_o as_o it_o please_v god_n to_o preserve_v the_o life_n which_o he_o have_v give_v we_o and_o to_o maintain_v we_o in_o health_n and_o good_a disposition_n he_o give_v power_n to_o that_o which_o we_o

eat_v and_o drink_v to_o do_v this_o but_o if_o it_o shall_v please_v he_o to_o do_v otherwise_o there_o be_v neither_o meat_n nor_o drink_v which_o can_v give_v any_o sustenance_n and_o convenient_a nourishment_n unto_o we_o but_o will_v rather_o convert_v within_o we_o into_o deadly_a poison_n to_o take_v away_o our_o life_n and_o hasten_v our_o death_n even_o as_o god_n do_v oftentimes_o to_o that_o effect_n use_v the_o air_n without_o which_o we_o can_v no_o more_o live_v then_o without_o meat_n and_o drink_v and_o therefore_o when_o it_o please_v god_n that_o we_o shall_v live_v in_o health_n and_o long_a time_n he_o make_v the_o air_n good_a and_o wholesome_a for_o we_o if_o otherwise_o it_o please_v he_o to_o strike_v we_o with_o sickness_n and_o to_o hasten_v our_o death_n he_o

levit._fw-la 28._o deut._n 16._o as_o also_o moses_n do_v ample_o declare_v in_o the_o blessing_n and_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n for_o let_v we_o also_o note_n that_o when_o god_n will_v punish_v

it_o be_v he_o that_o strike_v and_o give_v remedy_n which_o bring_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o draw_v out_o again_o which_o kill_v and_o raise_v up_o again_o and_o therefore_o he_o say_v to_o his_o

but_o serve_v to_o his_o glory_n and_o for_o the_o good_a and_o health_n of_o man_n consider_v that_o they_o be_v create_v to_o that_o end_n and_o the_o other_o cause_n be_v that_o it_o please_v he_o to_o accommodate_v himself_o to_o our_o infirmity_n which_o be_v such_o as_o we_o do_v not_o think_v that_o he_o be_v near_o unto_o we_o nor_o that_o he_o can_v or_o will_v do_v it_o except_o we_o

we_o without_o physician_n and_o medicine_n and_o drug_n as_o he_o do_v by_o mean_n of_o they_o nevertheless_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o do_v it_o by_o such_o aide_n and_o he_o will_v have_v we_o subject_a to_o this_o order_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o think_v that_o to_o despise_v the_o mean_n which_o he_o give_v for_o the_o maintenance_n of_o this_o life_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o

will_v give_v they_o unto_o us._n but_o we_o must_v always_o come_v to_o this_o point_n that_o although_o we_o can_v receive_v the_o benefit_n which_o it_o please_v the_o most_o good_a god_n to_o communicate_v unto_o we_o except_o by_o the_o mean_v ordain_v by_o his_o providence_n thereto_o yet_o nevertheless_o we_o must_v not_o attribute_v this_o power_n to_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n but_o

and_o medicine_n have_v not_o any_o virtue_n of_o themselves_o but_o so_o much_o only_o as_o god_n infuse_v into_o they_o and_o as_o he_o think_v needful_a for_o our_o good_a by_o such_o instrument_n
