phalaris_n so_o that_o the_o circumstance_n show_v there_o be_v no_o parallel_n and_o consequent_o it_o can_v be_v no_o pattern_n and_o i_o hope_v you_o will_v not_o wrong_v your_o judgement_n so_o

but_o when_o a_o man_n as_o you_o say_v lay_v down_o notion_n of_o a_o more_o dangerous_a consequence_n and_o which_o may_v be_v fatal_a to_o many_o ridicule_n may_v set_v man_n a_o laugh_a that_o

may_v make_v a_o impression_n upon_o their_o lung_n it_o never_o influence_n the_o reason_n of_o those_o that_o think_v laughter_n unreasonable_a and_o though_o the_o weak_a sort_n of_o physician_n can_v read_v a_o satyr_n and_o keep_v the_o subject_a before_o they_o in_o their_o thought_n at_o the_o same_o time_n yet_o laughter_n put_v they_o out_o of_o a_o capacity_n of_o think_v and_o
