to_o the_o body_n of_o man_n which_o be_v root_v out_o by_o these_o medicine_n which_o prolong_v life_n in_o this_o discourse_n of_o long_a life_n i_o will_v first_o give_v you_o the_o theory_n of_o

these_o two_o reason_n 1._o because_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o there_o be_v any_o certain_a day_n or_o hour_n of_o any_o man_n death_n 2_o because_o we_o have_v medicine_n prepare_v for_o we_o by_o he_o who_o have_v create_v we_o both_o to_o preserve_v we_o from_o disease_n and_o to_o drive_v out_o disease_n hence_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o neither_o disease_n bring_v death_n neither_o be_v death_n the_o cause_n of_o disease_n nay_o death_n and_o disease_n agree_v no_o better_a than_o fire_n and_o water_n a_o natural_a disease_n hate_v death_n as_o every_o part_n of_o the_o live_a body_n hate_v death_n i_o intend_v in_o this_o discourse_n to_o speak_v to_o those_o of_o my_o own_o way_n who_o by_o great_a skill_n and_o daily_a experience_n have_v search_v into_o and_o do_v know_v the_o propertie●_n and_o nature_n of_o thing_n which_o be_v hide_v and_o unknown_a to_o presumptuous_a and_o titular_a doctor_n and_o i_o do_v affirm_v this_o as_o a_o most_o certain_a truth_n that_o the_o body_n may_v be_v restore_v change_v to_o the_o better_a yea_o whole_o renew_v as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v plain_o see_v in_o metal_n which_o may_v be_v so_o purify_v that_o they_o shall_v be_v afterward_o free_a from_o any_o rust_n so_o likewise_o dead_a body_n if_o they_o be_v embalm_v do_v not_o putrify_v afterward_o some_o perhaps_o may_v dislike_v my_o write_n because_o they_o be_v short_a and_o because_o of_o those_o example_n which_o i_o use_v but_o my_o write_n be_v not_o therefore_o to_o be_v slight_v see_v i_o use_v only_o the_o example_n of_o such_o thing_n which_o be_v or_o may_v be_v do_v by_o nature_n as_o in_o this_o comparison_n of_o metal_n with_o the_o body_n of_o man_n i_o know_v that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n betwixt_o these_o two_o yet_o they_o be_v both_o preserve_v one_o way_n as_o experience_n teach_v if_o a_o dead_a body_n can_v be_v preserve_v by_o balsam_n from_o putrefaction_n or_o decay_n how_o much_o more_o may_v a_o live_a body_n be_v so_o preserve_v now_o there_o be_v three_o part_n of_o man_n age_n viz._n young_a age_n middle_a age_n and_o old_a age_n and_o each_o of_o these_o must_v have_v such_o medicine_n for_o prolong_v
