rehearse_v many_o more_o use_n if_o we_o will_v speak_v more_o particular_o of_o this_o matter_n whereof_o we_o mean_v to_o speak_v but_o general_o as_o also_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o concern_v the_o anatomy_n of_o the_o body_n according_a to_o that_o end_n which_o we_o propound_v to_o ourselves_o in_o the_o entry_n of_o our_o speech_n namely_o to_o open_v a_o gap_n only_o to_o the_o

of_o the_o profit_n and_o use_v of_o both_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v daily_o learn_v the_o better_a to_o know_v the_o great_a power_n skill_n wisdom_n goodness_n and_o providence_n of_o he_o that_o

of_o two_o point_n well_o worthy_a the_o note_n concern_v the_o place_n where_o god_n have_v seat_v they_o use_v first_o they_o be_v there_o place_v where_o they_o serve_v to_o shroud_v and_o to_o defend_v the_o noble_a and_o most_o necessary_a part_n for_o life_n that_o be_v in_o the_o breast_n namely_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o lung_n for_o they_o be_v set_v before_o they_o to_o countergard_v and_o keep_v they_o both_o from_o over_o great_a heat_n and_o from_o excessive_a cold_n and_o from_o many_o other_o inconvenience_n and_o as_o they_o serve_v for_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o heart_n so_o their_o own_o heat_n be_v increase_v by_o reason_n they_o be_v so_o near_o the_o heart_n whereby_o the_o milk_n that_o be_v engender_v in_o they_o be_v the_o better_o bake_v so_o that_o we_o see_v that_o although_o god_n have_v not_o give_v man_n pap_n for_o the_o generation_n of_o milk_n and_o nourish_v of_o child_n as_o woman_n have_v nevertheless_o they_o be_v not_o without_o profit_n and_o

they_o possible_o be_v set_v in_o any_o place_n that_o be_v more_o fit_a and_o more_o easy_a both_o for_o mother_n and_o nurse_n and_o for_o the_o child_n to_o who_o they_o give_v suck_v and_o

even_o while_o she_o give_v it_o suck_v and_o feed_v it_o this_o commodity_n be_v not_o grant_v to_o the_o female_n of_o beast_n when_o they_o give_v suck_v and_o nourish_v their_o little_a one_o with_o their_o teat_n wherein_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v one_o notable_a difference_n which_o god_n have_v put_v between_o man_n and_o beast_n one_o for_o beast_n have_v no_o other_o care_n of_o their_o young_a one_o but_o only_o to_o nourish_v their_o body_n with_o food_n until_o they_o be_v able_a to_o feed_v and_o govern_v themselves_o afterward_o both_o sire_n and_o damn_n and_o little_a

love_v their_o child_n so_o be_v they_o love_v of_o they_o insomuch_o that_o there_o be_v a_o mutual_a love_n proceed_v from_o that_o natural_a affection_n which_o they_o bear_v one_o towards_o another_o on_o the_o other_o side_n this_o love_n cause_v parent_n to_o let_v their_o child_n have_v instruction_n that_o they_o may_v be_v wise_a and_o virtuous_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o without_o good_a cause_n that_o woman_n pap_n be_v place_v in_o the_o breast_n namely_o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v be_v unto_o they_o as_o sign_n and_o testimony_n of_o the_o affection_n of_o

and_o in_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n that_o appear_v therein_o if_o they_o know_v how_o to_o follow_v it_o well_o again_o for_o this_o cause_n mother_n ought_v to_o take_v great_a delight_n in_o

for_o this_o cause_n have_v god_n give_v unto_o it_o another_o power_n and_o virtue_n which_o we_o call_v understanding_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o our_o spirit_n stay_v not_o always_o in_o one_o
