the_o six_o by_o her_o hair_n the_o seven_o by_o her_o fairness_n or_o foulness_n as_o touch_v the_o first_o we_o may_v know_v that_o though_o it_o be_v true_a as_o tofore_o we_o have_v prove_v that_o

the_o reason_n whereon_o they_o ground_n this_o correspondency_n true_a it_o be_v galen_n proove_v by_o experience_n that_o by_o spey_v a_o sow_n she_o become_v fair_a and_o fat_a and_o her_o flesh_n very_o savoury_a and_o if_o she_o have_v her_o cod_n she_o taste_v little_o better_o than_o dog_n flesh_n whereby_o we_o conceive_v that_o the_o belly_n and_o the_o cod_n carry_v great_a efficacy_n to_o communicate_v their_o temperature_n to_o all_o the_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n especial_o to_o the_o brain_n for_o that_o the_o same_o be_v cold_a &_o moist_a like_o themselves_o between_o which_o through_o the_o resemblance_n the_o passage_n be_v easy_a now_o if_o we_o conclude_v that_o cold_a and_o moist_a be_v the_o quality_n which_o work_v a_o impairment_n in_o the_o reasonable_a

that_o knowledge_n which_o she_o want_v can_v be_v avouch_v for_o as_o yet_o she_o have_v not_o offend_v so_o then_o this_o defect_n of_o wit_n in_o the_o first_o woman_n grow_v for_o that_o she_o
