the_o hollow_a not_o the_o convex_a side_n of_o the_o bone_n and_o that_o rub_n say_v they_o do_v very_o much_o conduce_v to_o the_o cure_n but_o this_o do_v rather_o hinder_v it_o but_o it_o be_v

so_o often_o happen_v moreover_o we_o suppose_v that_o the_o preternatural_a bend_n of_o the_o spine_n do_v rare_o happen_v from_o the_o unequal_a altitude_n of_o the_o side_n of_o the_o turn_a joint_n of_o the_o bone_n but_o more_o often_o from_o another_o cause_n which_o we_o will_v now_o prosecute_v we_o have_v already_o say_v that_o the_o spine_n be_v somewhat_o weak_a in_o this_o

reason_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o spine_n therefore_o whensoever_o their_o body_n be_v raise_v they_o seek_v somewhat_o to_o rest_v upon_o and_o they_o suffer_v their_o spine_n to_o be_v bow_v sometime_o forward_o sometime_o backward_o sometime_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n and_o sometime_o to_o the_o left_a whereby_o the_o burden_n of_o their_o body_n may_v be_v rest_v upon_o something_o that_o stand_v near_o they_o hereupon_o it_o many_o time_n happen_v that_o the_o ligament_n of_o the_o turn_a joint_n of_o the_o spine_n in_o that_o part_n which_o be_v most_o common_o bend_v out_o be_v loosen_a and_o lengthen_v and_o on_o the_o opposite_a side_n they_o be_v contract_v so_o that_o intract_n of_o time_n the_o spine_n can_v be_v erect_v according_a to_o the_o straight_a and_o

which_o part_n the_o child_n which_o they_o suckle_v be_v most_o prone_a to_o bend_v their_o body_n that_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o may_v endeavour_v to_o bend_v they_o to_o the_o opposite_a part_n in_o like_a manner_n also_o when_o nurse_n without_o due_a regard_n and_o care_n do_v too_o soon_o commit_v weak_a child_n to_o the_o use_n of_o their_o foot_n it_o may_v happen_v that_o when_o the_o

the_o joint_n must_v needs_o be_v bend_v either_o inwàrdly_a or_o outward_o therefore_o although_o we_o have_v deny_v above_o that_o the_o crookedness_n of_o the_o bone_n depend_v hereupon_o yet_o
