over-hardned_a and_o dry_a the_o contrariety_n and_o diversity_n of_o these_o unnatural_a melancholy_n do_v hang_v and_o depend_v on_o the_o contrariety_n and_o difference_n of_o the_o humour_n

to_o your_o purpose_n or_o to_o the_o reputation_n of_o tobacco_n forsooth_o very_o much_o for_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o continual_a practice_n of_o tobacco_n destroy_v the_o purity_n

see_v that_o the_o fume_n of_o tobacco_n yield_v no_o good_a food_n or_o nourishment_n to_o the_o pure_a blood_n but_o rather_o trouble_v and_o corrupt_v the_o same_o it_o be_v thereby_o most_o
