only_a reason_n i_o will_v show_v thou_o with_o brevity_n the_o first_o of_o they_o be_v this_o that_o all_o sort_n of_o infirmity_n have_v their_o original_a and_o beginning_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o to_o know_v the_o troth_n you_o may_v see_v manifestlye_o that_o if_o the_o body_n be_v never_o so_o little_a infermid_n the_o stomach_n be_v also_o grieve_a for_o you_o may_v see_v how_o the_o anymalle_v terestryall_n never_o help_v themselves_o of_o other_o infirmity_n than_o of_o the_o stomach_n and_o when_o they_o will_v help_v themselves_o they_o eat_v herb_n the_o which_o cause_v they_o to_o vomit_v and_o this_o do_v signify_v that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o infirmity_n than_o the_o aforesaid_a so_o by_o the_o experience_n of_o
the_o animalle_v i_o approve_v that_o the_o infirmity_n be_v cause_v of_o the_o stomach_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o reason_n the_o second_o be_v that_o all_o the_o medicine_n where_o in_o our_o petra_n philosophalle_n be_v put_v as_o soon_o as_o they_o be_v come_v into_o the_o stomach_n it_o draw_v unto_o it_o all_o the_o evil_a humour_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o also_o of_o the_o whole_a body_n and_o mix_v with_o they_o and_o so_o nature_n send_v they_o forth_o by_o vomit_n or_o by_o siege_n or_o both_o and_o so_o the_o stomach_n shall_v be_v evacuate_v of_o that_o matter_n and_o the_o body_n remain_v free_a from_o all_o impediment_n of_o infirmity_n so_o that_o by_o this_o reason_n i_o affirm_v that_o our_o petra_n philosophalle_n may_v help_v against_o all_o sort_n of_o infirmity_n and_o to_o know_v the_o troth_n i_o have_v prove_v it_o by_o experience_n in_o all_o manner_n of_o infirmity_n and_o always_o have_v find_v it_o to_o do_v much_o good_a unto_o all_o man_n
