Together with the plaine, and true reasons ... confirming the vniversalitie thereof. And lastly, the manner and order of administration or vse of this medicine in sundrie infirmities.

and_o reason_n thereof_o let_v every_o man_n opinion_n be_v free_a to_o himself_o i_o will_v without_o prejudice_n to_o any_o other_o brief_o show_v you_o my_o opinion_n i_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o gold_n of_o all_o mix_a body_n be_v most_o equal_a and_o temperate_a in_o the_o element_n and_o elemental_a quality_n so_o that_o moisture_n with_o heat_n as_o agent_n dryness_n with_o
