before_o i_o enter_v into_o the_o matter_n itself_o i_o hold_v it_o not_o amiss_o to_o put_v down_o the_o main_a point_n of_o the_o discourse_n or_o the_o true_a state_n of_o the_o question_n as_o they_o call_v it_o and_o so_o much_o the_o rather_o for_o that_o the_o author_n seem_v somewhat_o uncertain_a herein_o sometime_o inveigh_v against_o tobacco_n itself_o and_o his_o manifest_a quality_n sometime_o speak_v but_o only_o against_o the_o great_a abuse_n thereof_o if_o his_o meaning_n be_v only_o to_o condemn_v the_o abuse_n of_o tobacco_n in_o that_o i_o be_o ready_a to_o take_v his_o part_n and_o will_v most_o willing_o join_v with_o he_o hand_n in_o hand_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o i_o do_v think_v that_o a_o good_a thing_n shall_v be_v no_o more_o mislike_v for_o the_o abuse_n thereof_o then_o i_o do_v think_v that_o fire_n be_v therefore_o utter_o to_o be_v condemn_v because_o sometime_o either_o a_o town_n or_o house_n be_v set_v a_o fire_n therewith_o be_v it_o by_o negligence_n or_o malice_n of_o other_o or_o that_o good_a drink_n be_v therefore_o to_o be_v dispraise_v because_o some_o that_o exceed_v therein_o and_o lie_v tipple_a and_o quaff_v at_o it_o all_o day_n long_o sometime_o do_v lose_v both_o their_o wealth_n and_o wit_n and_o all_o thereby_o leave_v therefore_o the_o abuse_n of_o tobacco_n or_o at_o the_o least_o touch_v it_o as_o occasion_n shall_v be_v offer_v my_o meaning_n be_v only_o to_o deal_v with_o tobacco_n itself_o and_o therein_o to_o show_v that_o neither_o of_o itself_o or_o for_o itself_o it_o be_v to_o be_v so_o mighty_o mislike_v or_o at_o the_o least_o wise_a not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v mislike_v for_o those_o cause_n and_o reason_n which_o be_v by_o the_o author_n allege_v the_o order_n that_o i_o will_v observe_v shall_v be_v thus_o the_o eight_o chief_a and_o capital_a argument_n which_o himself_o have_v set_v down_o i_o will_v allege_v verbatim_o and_o in_o the_o same_o order_n as_o he_o have_v place_v they_o and_o that_o be_v do_v i_o will_v collect_v and_o gather_v as_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v the_o pith_n sum_n or_o substance_n of_o his_o principal_a proof_n which_o he_o bring_v for_o the_o far_o strengthen_n and_o confirmation_n of_o his_o say_a argument_n but_o yet_o not_o rehearse_v all_o the_o author_n word_n for_o that_o will_v be_v too_o long_o and_o over_o tedious_a but_o in_o that_o behalf_n i_o will_v refer_v the_o reader_n over_o to_o the_o book_n that_o be_v publish_v in_o print_n for_o his_o better_a satisfaction_n and_o have_v answer_v his_o argument_n then_o will_v i_o brief_o deal_v with_o such_o pretty_a by-point_n and_o question_n of_o learning_n which_o shall_v be_v worth_a the_o note_n and_o shall_v be_v find_v here_o and_o there_o sprinkle_v and_o scatter_v in_o all_o the_o chapter_n of_o his_o book_n follow_v in_o order_n as_o they_o lie_v touch_v my_o own_o particular_a fantasy_n and_o affection_n to_o tobacco_n i_o protest_v it_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o way_n tie_v unto_o it_o for_o in_o all_o my_o life_n either_o i_o do_v never_o take_v it_o at_o all_o or_o else_o very_a seldom_o so_o that_o even_o in_o that_o respect_n also_o i_o may_v be_v hold_v as_o a_o most_o indifferent_a judge_n for_o the_o matter_n not_o make_v indeed_o any_o great_a reckon_v or_o account_n on_o which_o side_n the_o judgement_n or_o sentence_n shall_v
