and_o thus_o much_o of_o the_o red_a furious_a eye_n which_o be_v trouble_v with_o a_o hot_a scald_a rheum_n chap._n 6._o of_o the_o red_a fiery_a eye_n which_o be_v oppress_v with_o gross_a humour_n and_o accompany_v with_o a_o corrupt_a breath_n there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o red_a eye_n which_o be_v full_a of_o contagion_n and_o gross_a humour_n and_o though_o not_o altogether_o so_o

therefore_o that_o be_v trouble_v with_o 〈…〉_o the_o 〈…〉_o these_o inflame_a fiery_a and_o corrupt_a eye_n let_v he_o first_o purge_v his_o body_n well_o either_o with_o purgation_n glyster_n or_o

who_o because_o they_o have_v some_o insight_n in_o some_o of_o the_o liberal_a art_n think_v they_o may_v as_o liberal_o deal_v with_o this_o particular_a art_n and_o thereupon_o will_v undertake_v to_o give_v physic_n yet_o not_o for_o your_o money_n but_o virtue_n sake_n as_o they_o pretend_v it_o yet_o when_o you_o have_v reckon_v with_o their_o apothicary_n and_o sum_v up_o their_o bill_n and_o extravagant_a charge_n as_o a_o bushel_n or_o two_o of_o corn_n hen_n capon_n chicken_n and_o other_o such_o like_a gift_n of_o gratuity_n which_o can_v but_o ever_o accompany_v a_o thankful_a
