to_o the_o worse_o out_o of_o the_o earth_n grow_v every_o thing_n which_o nourish_v our_o body_n and_o that_o also_o which_o destroy_v our_o body_n we_o have_v from_o the_o earth_n not_o only_o

sound_a and_o whole_a but_o experience_n prove_v this_o to_o be_v false_a you_o must_v know_v this_o that_o the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o not_o only_o such_o thing_n which_o can_v destroy_v we_o or_o take_v away_o our_o health_n but_o also_o give_v we_o medicine_n which_o not_o only_o can_v cure_v our_o disease_n but_o also_o can_v preserve_v our_o life_n and_o health_n meat_n and_o drink_n if_o right_o use_v they_o be_v the_o mean_n to_o preserve_v our_o life_n but_o if_o abuse_a they_o destroy_v life_n as_o it_o appear_v ofttimes_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o drunkenness_n and_o gluttony_n for_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v from_o any_o of_o the_o element_n may_v be_v good_a or_o hurtful_a to_o we_o according_o as_o it_o be_v use_v again_o observe_v that_o what_o damage_n we_o receive_v by_o one_o element_n it_o be_v recompense_v by_o another_o element_n water_n do_v resist_v fire_n and_o by_o this_o resistance_n it_o preserve_v thing_n that_o they_o be_v not_o destroy_v by_o the_o

the_o star_n have_v a_o great_a and_o powerful_a influence_n upon_o the_o life_n and_o health_n of_o man_n they_o can_v make_v sick_a they_o can_v restore_v health_n they_o can_v preserve_v health_n they_o can_v bring_v death_n or_o prolong_v life_n there_o be_v no_o kind_n of_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o there_o be_v some_o good_a and_o some_o evil_n of_o that_o kind_n then_o here_o lie_v
