preparation_n of_o opium_n as_o a_o principal_a ingredience_n into_o that_o excellent_a medicine_n call_v laudanum_n i_o deny_v not_o their_o assertion_n but_o rather_o rely_v upon_o their_o

witness_v that_o neither_o laudanum_n nor_o the_o use_n thereof_o have_v be_v thing_n common_o know_v for_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n most_o certain_a that_o among_o a_o hundred_o physician_n and_o

of_o our_o physician_n here_o at_o the_o hage_n do_v sometime_o make_v use_n of_o this_o medicine_n yet_o a_o man_n may_v travail_v into_o a_o hundred_o city_n in_o christendon●_n where_o the_o

be_v always_o good_a see_v without_o they_o no_o man_n can_v live_v we_o may_v easy_o perceive_v the_o u●ritie_n hereof_o by_o the_o example_n of_o any_o man_n who_o have_v watch_v and_o travail_v moderate_o until_o at_o last_o he_o become_v drowsy_a and_o faint_a who_o after_o a_o little_a sleep_n and_o repose_v be_v awaken_v become_v as_o lively_a and_o frolic_a as_o at_o first_o but_o if_o this_o man_n return_v to_o his_o labour_n and_o redouble_v his_o pain_n &_o watch_v in_o such_o sort_n that_o he_o surpass_v the_o limit_n of_o his_o strength_n and_o so_o long_o until_o his_o vital_a

and_o mortal_a disease_n ensue_v now_o in_o this_o case_n if_o he_o betake_v himself_o to_o this_o medicine_n for_o rest_n and_o sleep_v think_v to_o find_v like_o benefit_n and_o comfort_n as_o before_o he_o shall_v be_v so_o far_o from_o enjoy_v the_o same_o that_o quite_o contrary_a he_o must_v needs_o pay_v the_o price_n of_o his_o life_n for_o his_o vain_a excess_n and_o intemperance_n after_o the_o very_a same_o manner_n may_v we_o judge_v of_o such_o a_o sick_a person_n as_o have_v want_v sleep_n beyond_o measure_n endure_v intolerable_a pain_n take_v no_o food_n or_o

notwithstanding_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v impute_v to_o the_o little_a sleep_n he_o have_v nor_o to_o the_o take_n of_o the_o cordial_n see_v that_o sleep_n and_o nourishment_n be_v two_o necessary_a thing_n for_o the_o preservation_n of_o life_n but_o rather_o in_o regard_n that_o death_n have_v seize_v upon_o they_o these_o thing_n can_v not_o produce_v those_o good_a effect_n which_o by_o nature_n intention_n they_o be_v ordain_v and_o appoint_v for_o let_v this_o suffice_v then_o to_o confute_v the_o three_o objection_n aforesaid_a in_o defence_n of_o well_o prepare_v and_o discreet_o
