in_o the_o sweet_a body_n therefore_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v frequent_o drink_v in_o time_n of_o health_n its_o virtue_n be_v too_o great_a for_o common_a use_n for_o that_o which_o be_v

if_o man_n and_o woman_n addict_v themselves_o in_o health_n to_o guzzle_v down_o the_o rich_a wine_n daily_o as_o many_o thousand_o do_v now_o a_o day_n what_o must_v they_o have_v for_o cordial_n in_o their_o sickness_n for_o their_o body_n be_v so_o habituate_v to_o wine_n that_o will_v have_v no_o operation_n to_o help_v they_o shall_v they_o take_v brandy_n and_o rectify_v spirit_n of_o

for_o they_o i_o believe_v the_o learn_a doctor_n in_o europe_n can_v tell_v unless_o he_o shall_v make_v they_o swallow_v two_o or_o three_o ladle_n full_a of_o scald_a lead_n boil_a pitch_n or_o
