to_o apply_v themselves_o unto_o they_o i_o have_v see_v a_o empirick_n prescribe_v a_o cold_a remedy_n for_o a_o cold_a disease_n like_o those_o who_o seek_v to_o cure_v the_o desperation_n of_o

no_o more_o be_v the_o physician_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v value_v unless_o he_o can_v give_v a_o reason_n of_o that_o he_o say_v god_n have_v leave_v to_o his_o minister_n weapon_n to_o wound_n

of_o my_o own_o body_n i_o will_v give_v the_o physician_n direction_n in_o some_o thing_n so_o know_v well_o the_o ill_a estate_n of_o my_o own_o soul_n i_o will_v in_o some_o thing_n supply_v the_o
