savour_n god_n have_v cause_v to_o arise_v from_o divers_a of_o his_o creature_n and_o to_o avoid_v thing_n by_o savour_n noisome_a to_o the_o body_n five_o and_o touch_v though_o it_o be_v the_o

the_o natural_a heat_n be_v send_v from_o the_o sense_n to_o dispatch_v that_o work_n and_o then_o we_o sleep_v and_o when_o that_o be_v do_v the_o heat_n return_v to_o the_o sense_n and_o tickle_v
