 Hippof. That was but forgotten. Sir, I will now therefore 

 do it. A foundring in the Feet cometh evermore after great 

 and over violent labour, whereby the whole Body is become 

 diftempered, the peccant and malignant Humours ftirred, 

 the blood inflamed, and the Greafe molten, which falling
