every_o six_o year_n or_o eight_o man_n still_o gather_v uppe_o more_o or_o less_o humour_n which_o prepare_v the_o way_n for_o a_o ague_n in_o the_o seven_o or_o nine_o as_o we_o say_v before_o when_o the_o fit_n be_v past_a the_o heart_n and_o liver_n prepare_v humour_n for_o the_o next_o ensue_v and_o in_o case_n they_o be_v not_o sufficient_a in_o the_o seven_o they_o multiply_v to_o the_o nine_o if_o in_o this_o they_o fail_v than_o they_o pass_v to_o the_o fourteen_o then_o to_o eighteen_o etc._n etc._n and_o for_o this_o cause_n physician_n council_n their_o patient_n to_o purge_v in_o the_o spring_n and_o authumne_n to_o hinder_v the_o increase_n of_o humour_n albeit_o they_o feel_v themselves_o nothing_o disease_a at_o all_o this_o we_o may_v declare_v by_o the_o example_n of_o they_o who_o be_v infect_v with_o hereditary_a disease_n as_o the_o gout_n or_o the_o stone_n for_o albeit_o they_o evident_o appear_v not_o till_o old_a age_n yet_o in_o all_o the_o progress_n of_o their_o year_n the_o part_n and_o humour_n insensible_o be_v prepare_v or_o we_o may_v say_v that_o in_o six_o or_o eight_o year_n the_o liver_n and_o heart_n which_o be_v fountain_n of_o blood_n and_o origen_n of_o humour_n be_v so_o infect_v and_o corrupt_v that_o in_o the_o last_o year_n they_o engender_v more_o unnatural_a superfluous_a humour_n than_o can_v stand_v with_o the_o right_n and_o natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o body_n but_o some_o will_v say_v by_o this_o opinion_n a_o man_n shall_v ever_o be_v sick_a for_o he_o shall_v never_o want_v corrupt_v humour_n wherein_o sickness_n consist_v to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o health_n consist_v not_o in_o indivisibili_fw-la in_o a_o indivisible_a point_n so_o that_o it_o admit_v not_o some_o few_o peccant_a humour_n withal_o but_o have_v a_o certain_a amplitude_n like_a as_o if_o into_o a_o but_o of_o strong_a canary_n wine_n a_o man_n every_o month_n shall_v put_v in_o half_a a_o pint_n of_o water_n every_o day_n a_o spoonful_n at_o the_o month_n end_n yea_o the_o year_n end_n the_o wine_n will_v be_v almost_o as_o potent_a as_o at_o the_o first_o yea_o and_o perhaps_o more_o if_o it_o be_v well_o help_v second_o we_o see_v that_o custom_n breed_v quality_n and_o alteration_n so_o insensible_o as_o in_o long_a time_n till_o they_o come_v to_o a_o full_a growth_n they_o can_v hardly_o be_v perceive_v three_o i_o doubt_v not_o but_o he_o that_o have_v for_o example_n the_o first_o fourteen_o year_n of_o his_o life_n for_o his_o clymactericall_a in_o the_o precedent_a year_n shall_v gather_v more_o corrupt_v humour_n than_o he_o who_o clymactericall_a year_n be_v nine_o and_o forty_o and_o also_o feel_v himself_o proportional_o more_o weak_a albeit_o he_o can_v not_o well_o perceive_v for_o i_o myself_o have_v know_v a_o man_n almost_o with_o half_a his_o lung_n rot_v with_o a_o consumption_n and_o yet_o bold_o avowch_v that_o he_o be_v strong_a for_o ab_fw-la assuetis_fw-la non_fw-la fit_a passio_fw-la some_o will_v object_v that_o we_o see_v by_o experience_n many_o man_n die_v within_o the_o space_n of_o a_o day_n or_o two_o who_o before_o be_v as_o sound_v and_o whole_a as_o can_v be_v neither_o in_o their_o urine_n blood_n or_o pulse_n appear_v any_o sign_n of_o sickness_n or_o superfluous_a humour_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o such_o a_o man_n be_v either_o oppress_v with_o some_o vehement_a passion_n or_o some_o violent_a exercise_n or_o some_o other_o extrinsecall_v cause_n which_o accelerate_a pervert_v and_o extraordinary_o augment_v the_o humour_n and_o so_o cause_v death_n for_o as_o i_o say_v above_o although_o a_o man_n consider_v the_o common_a course_n of_o his_o day_n can_v not_o pass_v his_o prefix_a time_n and_o clymactericall_a period_n yet_o by_o many_o mean_v he_o may_v shorten_v it_o much_o more_o i_o can_v say_v prò_fw-la and_o contrà_fw-la for_o this_o declaration_n but_o because_o it_o be_v something_o too_o physical_a and_o not_o so_o necessary_a for_o this_o moral_a treatise_n therefore_o i_o will_v bury_v it_o with_o silence_n for_o this_o point_n in_o very_a truth_n be_v so_o intricate_a that_o i_o perceive_v the_o best_a wit_n be_v exceed_o trouble_v to_o extricate_v themselves_o out_o of_o it_o and_o therefore_o as_o this_o i_o esteem_v probable_a so_o i_o will_v give_v any_o physician_n most_o hearty_a thanks_n who_o in_o few_o word_n will_v teach_v i_o a_o better_a way_n i_o say_v in_o brief_a for_o i_o have_v see_v some_o such_o long_a tedious_a discourse_n as_o i_o loathe_v to_o
