those_o breathe_n and_o this_o phlegmy_a matter_n turn_v to_o purifaction_n which_o do_v eat_v away_o the_o gum_n as_o though_o worm_n have_v eat_v they_o and_o this_o de●ect_n be_v general_o

2._o this_o distemper_n of_o the_o tooth_n and_o gum_n do_v also_o proceed_v from_o the_o various_a sort_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o more_o especial_o from_o the_o continual_a eat_n of_o flesh_n and_o fat_a sweet_a thing_n compound_v of_o various_a thing_n of_o disagree_a nature_n which_o do_v not_o only_o obstruct_v the_o stomach_n but_o fur_n and_o fo●l_v the_o mouth_n part_v thereof_o remain_v upon_o the_o gum_n and_o between_o the_o tooth_n for_o all_o such_o thing_n do_v quick_o turn_v to_o putrefaction_n which_o do_v by_o degree_n corrupt_v both_o the_o tooth_n and_o gum_n beside_o our_o bed_n take_v up_o near_o half_a the_o time_n of_o our_o life_n which_o time_n the_o body_n be_v not_o only_o without_o motion_n butt_v he_o bed_n and_o cover_n do_v keep_v it_o much_o

the_o air_n be_v hinder_v of_o have_v their_o free_a egress_n and_o regress_n which_o do_v dull_a &_o flatten_a the_o action_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a cause_n why_o supper_n lie_v hard_a in_o the_o stomach_n and_o require_v more_o than_o double_a the_o time_n for_o perfect_a concoction_n than_o the_o same_o food_n do_v when_o a_o man_n be_v up_o and_o in_o the_o
