creature_n and_o in_o this_o point_n all_o wise_a man_n agree_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n sick_a folk_n be_v suffer_v to_o see_v play_n and_o pleasant_a thing_n be_v bring_v unto_o they_o yea_o oftentimes_o follow_v their_o humour_n we_o give_v they_o many_o contrary_a thing_n because_o the_o affection_n and_o appetite_n of_o the_o soul_n overcom_v sickness_n now_o forsomuch_o as_o the_o truth_n must_v in_o no_o wise_n be_v impair_v fear_n we_o be_v diligent_o to_o consider_v that_o every_o agent_n not_o only_o substance_n but_o likewise_o accidens_fw-la of_o the_o three_o kind_n of_o

virtue_n and_o kind_n out_o of_o itself_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o it_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o other_o corporal_a thing_n but_o cheesely_a for_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o soul_n

and_o the_o next_o a_o desire_n conformable_a to_o the_o thought_n and_o last_o of_o all_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o member_n which_o yield_v obedience_n to_o the_o desire_n and_o

in_o thing_n spiritual_a other_o thing_n be_v answerable_a by_o word_n according_a to_o that_o natural_a power_n which_o be_v due_a unto_o they_o for_o we_o see_v that_o by_o reason_n of_o these_o and_o such_o like_a artery_n gasping_n and_o yawning_n and_o many_o resolution_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o of_o heat_n arise_v from_o the_o heart_n in_o the_o inward_a part_n which_o sometime_o hurt_v we_o when_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o crazy_a body_n that_o be_v of_o a_o evil_a complexion_n and_o again_o they_o great_o profit_v and_o comfort_v we_o when_o they_o come_v from_o a_o pure_a and_o

the_o magician_n dream_v of_o or_o that_o it_o be_v able_a to_o make_v and_o alter_v as_o other_o think_v but_o because_o it_o be_v as_o nature_n have_v ordain_v we_o must_v therefore_o be_v very_o

fly_v unto_o magic_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o book_n in_o the_o world_n of_o charm_n and_o character_n prayer_n conjuration_n sacrifice_n and_o such_o like_a that_o be_v
