do_v by_o another_o weapon_n a_o reason_n also_o shall_v be_v give_v why_o the_o ointment_n shall_v not_o work_v the_o same_o effect_n be_v in_o the_o box_n which_o it_o will_v do_v be_v anoint_v on_o

to_o the_o wound_n by_o reason_n of_o that_o natural_a balsam_n which_o be_v in_o the_o blood_n why_o then_o do_v they_o anoint_v that_o weapon_n with_o which_o a_o man_n be_v wound_v or_o another_o

which_o in_o one_o natural_a medicine_n can_v be_v find_v for_o they_o affirm_v that_o all_o wound_v make_v with_o a_o stab_n or_o with_o a_o blow_n by_o a_o fall_n or_o by_o a_o throw_n may_v be_v

that_o the_o patient_n shall_v not_o be_v pain_v and_o therefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o business_n the_o cure_n of_o a_o wound_n which_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o weapon-salve_n be_v for_o the_o

that_o the_o devil_n may_v some_o way_n help_v the_o body_n that_o he_o may_v destroy_v the_o soul_n see_v he_o be_v man_n great_a enemy_n and_o by_o every_o way_n that_o he_o can_v be_v ready_a to_o
