because_o if_o his_o reformation_n shall_v take_v place_n we_o must_v be_v put_v short_o to_o work_v for_o our_o living_n therefore_o it_o be_v good_a before_o hand_n for_o each_o man_n to_o be_v

against_o we_o or_o as_o a_o general_a rule_n to_o be_v impose_v upon_o we_o in_o our_o academical_a institution_n it_o be_v that_o instead_o of_o verbal_a exercise_n we_o shall_v set_v upon_o

the_o like_a it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o this_o be_v the_o way_n and_o the_o only_a way_n to_o perfect_a natural_a philosophy_n and_o medicine_n so_o that_o whosoever_o intend_v to_o profess_v the_o
