the_o biggness_n of_o a_o gray_a pease_n swell_v or_o twelve_o grain_n or_o ten_o or_o fourteen_o grain_n to_o twenty_o grain_n where_o be_v strength_n but_o to_o a_o child_n new_o bear_v no_o more_o than_o a_o pin-head_n and_o not_o a_o great_a one_o neither_o but_o about_o one_o quarter_n of_o a_o grain_n my_o advice_n and_o council_n be_v to_o all_o both_o old_a and_o young_a that_o they_o be_v sure_a they_o take_v little_a enough_o at_o first_o and_o in_o so_o do_v there_o be_v great_a safety_n always_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o strength_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o patient_a &_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o thing_n in_o its_o one_o property_n be_v a_o mear_v cordial_a and_o a_o great_a fortifier_n of_o nature_n too_o much_o you_o may_v take_v without_o safety_n as_o a_o man_n may_v drink_v too_o much_o wine_n but_o too_o little_a you_o can_v take_v as_o to_o safety_n so_o that_o the_o least_o grain_n be_v profitable_a to_o whole_a nature_n and_o not_o in_o the_o least_o prejudicial_a therefore_o i_o do_v warn_v and_o charge_v that_o you_o begin_v with_o little_a enough_o and_o that_o you_o do_v increase_v afterward_o as_o you_o find_v by_o good_a experience_n the_o patient_n can_v bear_v it_o unto_o a_o child_n of_o ten_o or_o twenty_o hour_n old_a give_v as_o much_o as_o a_o small_a pins-head_n and_o so_o increase_v with_o care_n as_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o work_v it_o at_o once_o bring_v they_o to_o rest_v cause_v they_o to_o eat_v and_o suck_v lusty_o and_o drive_v out_o any_o thing_n amiss_o in_o they_o and_o for_o a_o child_n a_o year_n old_a give_v as_o much_o as_o a_o great_a pin-head_n still_o increase_v as_o you_o do_v perceive_v strength_n to_o bear_v it_o but_o it_o be_v better_a to_o give_v it_o either_o to_o old_a or_o young_a a_o little_a and_o oft_o always_o take_v it_o when_o you_o be_v go_v to_o bed_n or_o in_o bed_n and_o you_o must_v allow_v twelve_o or_o fourteen_o hour_n unto_o its_o work_n and_o above_o all_o thing_n take_v heed_n of_o cold_n but_o if_o you_o shall_v get_v a_o cold_a haste_n to_o bed_n take_v a_o good_a pill_n it_o be_v go_v it_o will_v do_v no_o hurt_n if_o you_o find_v your_o head_n to_o be_v giddy_a and_o unsettled_a and_o also_o your_o stomach_n to_o be_v heave_v it_o be_v best_o to_o give_v it_o time_n and_o repose_n by_o sleep_n lest_o you_o be_v very_o sick_a and_o vomit_n which_o you_o will_v not_o do_v if_o your_o stomach_n be_v not_o very_o foul_a note_v that_o it_o be_v not_o in_o its_o strength_n till_o four_o or_o five_o hour_n take_v there_o be_v no_o observation_n of_o diet_n but_o for_o man_n and_o woman_n to_o keep_v a_o wholesome_a open_a &_o clean_a diet_n avoid_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v cold_a and_o windy_a in_o operation_n but_o always_o keep_v your_o stomach_n warm_a with_o that_o which_o be_v good_a &_o wholesome_a also_o always_o drink_v a_o wine-glass_n of_o the_o best_a beer_n ale_n or_o wine_n after_o the_o take_n of_o the_o pill_n it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o if_o a_o man_n head_n and_o breast_n be_v well_o he_o may_v rise_v at_o any_o time_n i_o myself_o do_v frequent_o rise_v after_o the_o take_v my_o last_o pill_n about_o two_o
