what_o pretend_v to_o change_v the_o whole_a mass_n of_o the_o blood_n or_o else_o a_o long_a course_n of_o violent_a perspiration_n but_o the_o mischief_n be_v that_o the_o gout_n be_v common_o the_o disease_n of_o age_a man_n who_o can_v go_v through_o with_o these_o strong_a remedy_n which_o young_a man_n play_v with_o upon_o other_o occasion_n and_o the_o reason_n i_o suppose_v why_o these_o

that_o to_o be_v well_o there_o will_v need_v nothing_o but_o only_o resolve_v to_o live_v his_o answer_n be_v noble_a that_o since_o die_v be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v do_v and_o he_o be_v now_o so_o
