of_o use_v reason_n to_o finish_v or_o find_v out_o right_a conclusion_n in_o any_o science_n we_o must_v understand_v by_o that_o reason_n a_o mind_n or_o faculty_n endue_v and_o instruct_v with_o

from_o what_o he_o have_v observe_v to_o tell_v he_o only_o that_o he_o be_v to_o follow_v reason_n be_v as_o ridiculous_a and_o useless_a as_o it_o will_v be_v silly_a and_o impertinent_o pedantic_a for_o one_o that_o be_v ask_v who_o he_o be_v to_o answer_v he_o be_v a_o man._n but_o he_o give_v a_o most_o subtle_a reason_n why_o mathematics_n be_v not_o to_o be_v use_v in_o medicine_n the_o

of_o our_o body_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o medicine_n incredible_o improven_v yet_o the_o eye_n can_v be_v set_v up_o again_o after_o be_v take_v down_o a_o thing_n that_o the_o writer_n of_o optic_n

to_o the_o law_n of_o mechanic_n and_o consequent_o to_o mathematical_a reason_n but_o this_o tarrugo_n be_v loath_a shall_v be_v true_a because_o he_o understand_v not_o mathematics_n there_o be_v yet_o one_o advantage_n that_o the_o use_n of_o mathematics_n bring_v ot_fw-mi medicine_n which_o we_o have_v not_o mention_v but_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a one_o and_o serve_v to_o abridge_v

of_o medicine_n if_o once_o we_o can_v by_o a_o mathematical_a eye_n discern_v what_o observation_n be_v necessary_a to_o draw_v such_o a_o conclusion_n from_o for_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o warn_v
