god_n providence_n assist_v they_o in_o their_o lawful_a endeavour_n such_o disease_n in_o their_o height_n which_o have_v a_o tendency_n to_o death_n be_v incurable_a as_o for_o common_a sickness_n we_o find_v that_o either_o galenical_a or_o chemical_a preparation_n may_v remove_v they_o we_o will_v now_o declare_v the_o reason_n why_o sometime_o the_o most_o able_a physician_n be_v foil_v and_o disappoint_v first_o we_o must_v know_v that_o disease_n be_v the_o effect_n of_o sin_n and_o deserve_a punishment_n do_v oftentimes_o shut_v out_o favour_n so_o that_o tedious_a sickness_n

in_o his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n the_o second_o reason_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o disease_n which_o be_v either_o deadly_a in_o themselves_o or_o as_o they_o be_v consequence_n of_o other_o be_v produce_v by_o they_o the_o pleurisy_n or_o the_o inflammation_n of_o the_o pleura_fw-la although_o it_o be_v dangerous_a yet_o if_o direct_a mean_n be_v apply_v in_o time_n it_o

the_o corruption_n flow_v into_o the_o cavity_n of_o the_o breast_n and_o thus_o another_o disease_n be_v generate_v call_v empiema_n and_o now_o if_o nature_n stand_v not_o much_o the_o patient_n

day_n carry_v away_o the_o lung_n will_v be_v ulcerate_v and_o a_o consumption_n will_v ensue_v altogether_o incurable_a the_o question_n be_v whether_o curable_a disease_n be_v by_o they_o help_v such_o indeed_o will_v end_v without_o any_o application_n and_o nature_n need_v no_o assistance_n to_o such_o enemy_n so_o that_o then_o medicine_n be_v useless_a for_o who_o will_v trouble_v
