some_o to_o the_o disproportion_n between_o the_o seed_n whence_o she_o that_o be_v barren_a with_o her_o first_o husband_n be_v fruitful_a with_o her_o second_o those_o of_o the_o woman_n be_v either_o internal_a or_o external_a the_o internal_a depend_v partly_o upon_o the_o seed_n and_o menstrual_a blood_n and_o partly_o upon_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o womb_n and_o the_o habit_n of_o

all_o which_o disorder_n hinder_v gravidation_n as_o for_o the_o habit_n of_o body_n we_o observe_v that_o fat_a woman_n be_v barren_a either_o because_o the_o matter_n of_o seed_n which_o be_v the_o
