these_o quality_n will_v prove_v a_o kind_n of_o those_o which_o cure_v manifest_a disease_n of_o which_o we_o have_v speak_v in_o another_o book_n §_o 9_o both_o conclusion_n be_v confirm_v because_o a_o live_a body_n can_v not_o other_o way_n be_v make_v durable_a to_o eternity_n nor_o for_o any_o time_n but_o its_o temperament_n will_v decline_v something_o from_o its_o integrity_n unless_o it_o

of_o cause_n efficient_a that_o they_o may_v perform_v very_o strong_a action_n when_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o necessity_n it_o be_v prove_v as_o to_o the_o animal_n faculty_n because_o to_o avoid_v

strength_n of_o action_n of_o the_o animal_n faculty_n be_v not_o sufficient_a even_o where_o there_o be_v the_o best_a temperament_n therefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o this_o faculty_n be_v

especial_o those_o which_o may_v hurt_v by_o local_a motion_n §_o 11._o and_o as_o to_o the_o pulsatil_n faculty_n there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n for_o it_o must_v perform_v a_o motion_n against_o the_o resistance_n of_o every_o external_a cause_n whatever_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v the_o natural_a it_o be_v prove_v for_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o attractive_a and_o expulsive_a

can_v produce_v motion_n on_o the_o ship_n therefore_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n may_v a_o quality_n be_v afford_v by_o the_o wood_n of_o life_n which_o be_v present_a no_o external_a motive_n

of_o a_o finite_a virtue_n therefore_o there_o be_v no_o inconvenience_n that_o a_o resistance_n may_v be_v which_o surpass_v their_o power_n see_v therefore_o such_o a_o resistance_n be_v possible_a whereby_o the_o wood_n of_o life_n may_v defend_v man_n body_n from_o death_n and_o that_o the_o sacred_a text_n do_v clear_o intimate_v that_o it_o be_v a_o adequate_a cause_n of_o immortality_n

the_o very_a long_a life_n of_o the_o first_o man_n be_v some_o other_o tree_n of_o paradise_n or_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n §_o 1._o pass_v by_o various_a opinion_n about_o the_o long_a life_n of_o the_o first_o man_n i_o declare_v i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o very_a long_a life_n which_o these_o first_o man_n enjoy_v shall_v be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o quality_n of_o other_o wholesome_a tree_n grow_v in_o paradise_n which_o be_v either_o in_o fruit_n to_o be_v eat_v or_o transfuse_v to_o the_o ambient_fw-la air_n whether_o it_o be_v do_v by_o vapour_n which_o exhale_v from_o the_o say_a tree_n or_o by_o continual_a alteration_n or_o both_o way_n and_o then_o they_o be_v communicate_v by_o food_n and_o air_n to_o the_o body_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n and_o from_o they_o again_o in_o seed_n and_o blood_n to_o their_o child_n all_o which_o thing_n i_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v §_o 2._o and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o there_o be_v in_o nature_n tree_n and_o other_o plant_n very_o salutiferous_a and_o which_o by_o occult_a quality_n both_o cure_n and_o prevent_v many_o as_o well_o manifest_a as_o occult_a disease_n be_v a_o thing_n most_o certain_a §_o 3._o but_o that_o such_o tree_n and_o plant_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v want_v in_o paradise_n seem_v a_o thing_n most_o manifest_a for_o since_o the_o sacred_a text_n declare_v there_o be_v every_o tree_n that_o be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o sight_n and_o good_a for_o food_n the_o consequent_a seem_v infallible_a that_o the_o most_o wholesome_a be_v there_o also_o especial_o see_v those_o very_a tree_n which_o be_v good_a for_o food_n and_o pleasant_a to_o the_o sight_n be_v likewise_o most_o wholesome_a and_o we_o must_v consequent_o suppose_v that_o the_o wholesome_a quality_n of_o these_o tree_n excel_v all_o other_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n beâ—ides_v even_o as_o in_o sweetness_n of_o taste_n smell_v and_o sight_n and_o in_o goodness_n of_o nourishment_n it_o be_v convenient_a they_o shall_v surpass_v all_o other_o tree_n §_o 4._o it_o follow_v therefore_o that_o the_o fruit_n which_o our_o first_o parent_n eat_v be_v endue_v with_o such_o like_a quality_n and_o that_o the_o air_n which_o they_o inspire_v be_v likewise_o replenish_v with_o wholesome_a quality_n and_o that_o the_o very_a same_o quality_n remain_v in_o the_o body_n of_o our_o parent_n themselves_o for_o the_o medicamentous_a quality_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v eat_v remain_v in_o the_o body_n of_o animal_n as_o the_o virtue_n of_o hellebore_n in_o the_o body_n of_o a_o quail_n §_o 5._o see_v therefore_o such_o fruit_n and_o the_o inspire_a air_n be_v efficacious_a in_o produce_v those_o virtue_n it_o be_v consequent_a that_o the_o virtue_n themselves_o must_v needs_o be_v produce_v in_o the_o body_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n and_o must_v from_o thence_o be_v communicate_v in_o seed_n to_o their_o child_n and_o child_n child_n wherefore_o of_o necessity_n they_o must_v strengthen_v the_o faculty_n of_o the_o live_a body_n and_o concur_v with_o they_o to_o perform_v most_o perfect_a action_n as_o alexipharmack_n and_o annulet_n whence_o long_o last_a health_n and_o life_n must_v necessary_o follow_v §_o 6._o all_o these_o thing_n be_v confirm_v from_o the_o like_a for_o we_o daily_a experience_n that_o grievous_a disease_n be_v contract_v from_o bad_a

the_o contrary_a if_o from_o wholesome_a food_n and_o from_o very_o wholesome_a air_n most_o wholesome_a quality_n be_v contract_v which_o propagate_v to_o child_n and_o child_n child_n may_v become_v
