body_n be_v sick_a the_o soul_n be_v alter_v in_o its_o operation_n as_o we_o see_v in_o high_a fever_n and_o other_o acute_a disease_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_n let_v the_o soul_n be_v sad_a or_o

and_o instruction_n and_o partly_o by_o the_o various_a encounter_n which_o we_o have_v meet_v with_o in_o our_o way_n of_o life_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o quot_fw-la homines_fw-la tot_fw-la
