the_o last_o be_v the_o worst_a of_o all_o which_o be_v to_o give_v he_o a_o sweat_n sweat_n 3_o the_o three_o and_o worst_a way_n to_o cause_v a_o sweat_n in_o the_o house_n by_o heat_a clothes_n and_o load_v he_o therewith_o till_o he_o be_v force_v to_o sweat_v without_o any_o motion_n now_o as_o i_o say_v this_o be_v the_o most_o unnatural_a and_o worst_a be_v altogether_o violent_a for_o it_o be_v provoke_v only_o from_o the_o outward_a part_n have_v its_o beginning_n there_o by_o the_o heat_n of_o fire_n and_o of_o the_o clothes_n that_o be_v heat_v therewith_o which_o cast_v the_o
