fire_n that_o they_o neither_o quench_v burn_v coal_n nor_o make_v they_o cake_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_n grow_v red-hot_a like_o iron_n and_o lose_v only_o their_o transparence_n without_o

first_o place_n it_o purge_v without_o irritation_n and_o pain_n the_o gross_a excrement_n and_o the_o most_o viscous_a humour_n so_o that_o it_o may_v be_v safe_o administer_v to_o the_o weak_a

a_o low_a intermittent_a pulse_n the_o whole_a dose_n must_v be_v put_v into_o three_o part_n of_o a_o quart_n at_o the_o most_o or_o a_o pint_n of_o spring-water_n warm_v or_o else_o instead_o of_o

or_o mingle_v itself_o with_o the_o other_o humour_n cause_n fermentation_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o provoke_v kecking_n and_o vomit_n it_o be_v more_o proper_a to_o put_v the_o dose_n of_o
