medicine_n so_o there_o be_v two_o original_n of_o distemper_n one_o natural_a the_o other_o from_o heaven_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n heal_v those_o from_o heaven_n and_o natural_a distemper_n

the_o fancy_n of_o the_o sick_a person_n not_o of_o the_o physician_n the_o reason_n be_v evident_a because_o the_o remedy_n ought_v to_o be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o distemper_n and_o if_o the_o malady_n be_v imaginary_a the_o remedy_n ought_v also_o to_o be_v so_o but_o who_o can_v believe_v that_o a_o physician_n can_v cure_v another_o distemper_n whether_o it_o be_v natural_a or_o imaginary_a by_o his_o own_o fancy_n the_o imagination_n of_o a_o woman_n have_v no_o power_n beyond_o she_o own_o body_n it_o be_v therefore_o active_a in_o the_o place_n where_o it_o predominate_v
