be_v too_o short_a be_v stretch_v long_a yet_o thus_o do_v they_o who_o have_v but_o one_o word_n for_o all_o comer_n or_o for_o all_o they_o come_v to_o we_o will_v judge_v he_o a_o very_a

one_o to_o every_o sore_n as_o we_o say_v that_o which_o be_v one_o man_n meat_n be_v another_o man_n poison_n so_o we_o may_v also_o say_v that_o which_o be_v one_o man_n medicine_n may_v be_v another_o man_n poison_n that_o which_o cure_v one_o disease_n may_v increase_v another_o therefore_o the_o physician_n must_v consider_v to_o who_o he_o give_v the_o potion_n as_o well_o as_o what_o
