Most
Physitians
treating

d●●
rank
them
in
the
number
of
Diseases

is
vulgarly
taken
for
a
Disease
,
bu●
very
improperly
.
Some
have
dispute●
the
point
,
whether
it
be
a

;
many
reduced
it
t●
the
former

rank
it

To
enter

Of
the
matter
and
origination
of
Worms
.
LEt
us
now
inquire
a
little
,
of
wha●
matter
these
Vermin
are
generated
.
The
Definition
tells
us
of
what
they
most
usually
and
most
commonly
proceed
,
viz.
From
putrid
,
vitious
and
gross
,
viscid
,
corrupt
matter
of
what
nature
soever
,
having
a
vital
principle
in
it self
apt
for
generation
.
And
although
some
opine
their
origination
is
only
from
crude
Pu●
or
pituitous
humours
;
denying
adust
or
cholerick
humours
can
occasion
them
,
opposing
their
bitterness
both
to
putrifaction
and
their
production
;
yet
,
it
is
evident
they
are
ingendred
not
only
of
these
,
but
of
all
and
every
humour
,
since
there
is
no
humour
but
is
subject
to
putrifaction
,
Et
omne
putridum
ex
se
&
sua
natura
generare
vermes
:
The
adust
and
cholerick
,
as
well
as
the
flegmatick
:
but
not
so
frequently
;
and
the
curious
may
observe
that
worm-wood
and
the
bitterest
herbs
(
as
also
Vinegar
)
do
produce
a
sort
of
worm
,
according
to
the
quality
,
nature
and
property
of
the
matter
or
putrifaction
whence
they
arise
.
So
that
as
in
the
〈◊〉

,
we
●ee
Silk-worms
to
proceed
of
Mulberry-●eaves
;
several
sorts
of
Flies
,
of
several
●orts
of
Muck
and
Carrion
;
Bees
of
the
●arcass
of
a
Calf
,
Wasps
of
an
Horses
;
●nd
innumerable
other
sorts
,
of
all
kinds
of
Fruits
,
herbs
of
putrid
matter
;
and
that
the
Earth
also
produces
various
,
and
monstrous
Creatures
by
divers
putredinous
matters
in
the
Caverns
thereof
,
as
Dragons
,
Serpents
,
Toads
,
Spiders
and
innumerable
Insects
,
of
several
forms
,
various
colours
and
magnitudes
,
from
a
various
mixture
of
a
moist
,
virulent
,
viscous
and
slymie
faeces
joyned
with
a
putrid
heat
agreeable
to
its
own
nature
:
So
that
if
the
matter
be
one
,
the
production
will
be
likewise
one
,
if
different
,
divers
generations
are
occasioned

it

Sennertus
that
most
laborious
Neoterick
should
conclude
that
such
as

adult
are
not
at

molested
with

,
I
know
not
,
since
there
is
no
age
nor
constitution
exempt
from
putrid
humours
at
one
time
or
other
;
as
will
be
shewed
[

beneath
.
Besides
these
humours
,
worms
may
,
sometimes
,
be
ingendred
of
the
very
Chyle
and
Aliment
of
the
Body
,
being
mixed
with
putrid
and
excrementitious
humours
;
especially
in
such
bodies
as
have
not
a
good
digestion
,
and
in
whom
the
meseraick
veins
are
deficient
in
●heir
attractive
vertue
,
and
in
such
as
●at
or
drink
immoderately
,
before
the
●ormer
sustinance
be
concocted
:
For
,
●hus
the
Crude
and
half-digested
Chyle
,
being
mixed
with
what
is
well
matura●ed
,
descend
both
into
the
Intestines
for
want
of
being
duly
attracted
by
the
meseraicks
,
and
so
mixing
themselves
with
the
excrements
,
putrifie
,
;
and
,
by
the
heat
of
the
place
,
are
converted
into
these
Animals
.
Again
,
they
may
have
their
origination
in
us
by
contagion
,
from
certain
animated
effluviums
,
or
vermicular
atome-like
Corpuscules
●or
Fèrments
which
flow
out
of

fly
through

,
whereby
they
are
communicated
to
bodies
capable
of
,
and
fitted
to
receive
such
impressions
;
and
so
by
their
evil
and
venemous
ferment
,
are
inserted
;
which
many
times
,
so
lurk
in
the
blood
and
humours
(
as
I
shall
shew
[

beneath
)
that
they
occasion
strange
diseases
and
symptomes
,
and
that
such
,
as
as
few
Physitians
take
notice
of
;
but
ascribing
them
to
other
Causes
,
cause
the
destruction
of
their
Patients
,
as
commonly
as
may
be
,
when
if
they
did
but
consider
the
strange
Fermental
power
of
the
animated
Atoms
or
vermicular
Corpuscules
,
how
they
,
by
little
and
little
when
once
deseminated
,
infest
,
first
the
whole
mass
of
Blood
,
next
,
the
Bowels
,
and
afterwards
the
inmost
fibers
of
the
whole
man
,
altering
the
Constitution
,
and
converting
both
blood
and
humours
into
their
own
bad
temper
and
nature
,
they
might
do
much
more
good
.
For
although
the
seeds
of
several
Insects
,
are
,
by
the
power
of
our
spirits
subjugated
,
which
are
imbibed
in
our
blood

the
Air

our

,
&c.
and
so
not
able
presently
to
shew
themselves
;
yet
upon
any

or

they
do
most
effectually

know
I
shall
meet
with
many

But
such
I

To
put

both
of

and
young
,
of
both
Se●es
,
of
all
ages
and
strengths
that
I
observed
,
had
,
that
,
then
almost
Epidemical
Disease
the
Dysentery
;
and
all
by
reason
of
worms
,
most
of
which
never
mended
with
the
rational
progress
of
that
direful
Distemper
,
till
I
gave
them
that
which
kill'd
the
worms
or
brought
off
the
Helminthick

.
The
like
I
could
say
of
some
in

,
Convulsions

Children
,
Feavers
in
both
young

since

that

cured

even
beyond
all
hope
(
when
no

course
would
in

,
make
the
Distemper
sloop
)
by
fighting
against
the
worms
only
.
As
it
hath
been
therefore

ever
since
,
my
custom
,
in
all

chiefly
to
suspect
worms
to
be

I

So
that

the
Sum
is
,
That
worm
may
be
ingendred
and
have
their
origination
in
Humane
Bodies
by
animate●
Effluviums
,
Chyle
,
all
and
every
humour
,
and
that
of
divers
forms

shape●
and
natures
,
according
to
the
nature
and
property
of
the
matter
or
putrifaction
whence
they
have
their
origination
.
And
so
much
the
more
pernitious
are
they
as
the
putrifaction
is
more
virulent

Aurelius
Cornelius
Celsus
mentions
also
no
more
,
viz.
Lati
and
Teretes
,
giving
this
reason
why
Hypocrates
mentioned
not
those
flat
worms
,
Because
they
agree
with
no
determinate
age
,
nor
peculiarly
belong
to
any
;
his
business
here
,
being
to
name
every
Disease
incident
to
each
Age
;
and
so
Galen
endeavours
to
excuse
him
,
because
(
he
sayes
)
Youth
are
not
troubled
with
them
(
of
whom
in
the
afore-quoted
Aphorism
he
was
speaking
)
but
rather
the
adult
:
But
the
contrary
is
apparent
to
every
diligent
observer
;
nay
,
and
Hypocrates
himself
in
another
place
(
viz.
4.
De
Morbis
)
or
whoever
else
was
the
Author
of
that
Book
,
is
of
opinion
,
nay
,
and
positively
concludes
,
Youths
may
be
affected
with
Cucurbitini
.
Whence
,
some
have
made
three
kinds
,
adding
that
of
Celsus
which
Hypocrates
omitted
,
according
to
that

Aristotle

reckons
up

in

on

,
viz.
1.
Teretes
(
which
are
those
Hypocrates
calls
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
)
are
most
common
and
like
unto
Earth-worms
2.
Lati
(
mentioned
by
Celsus
)
are
a
sor●
of
long
flat
worms
and
more
rate
:
3.
A●scarides
which
are
a
small
slender
sort
of
worms
as
small
as
hairs
some
of
them
white
,
and
as
Riverius
well
notes
,
resembling
little
bits
of
Thred
;
and
are
more
frequently
seen
also
then
flat-worms
.
Many
of
our
Neotericks
have
added
a
fourth
sort
,
viz.
Cucurbitini
.
Some
divide
those
Lati
or
flat-worms
into
two
kinds
,
the
one
Long

the
other
Short
〈◊〉
the
former
of

they
make

the
Head
bloudy
,
and
in
shape
like
unto
〈◊〉
Serpents
or
Snakes
.
But
Examples
are
in
finite
.
Wherefore
,
by
what
hath
been
said
it
is
manifest
,
that
although
those
Thre●
Kinds
only
before
mentioned
,
do
mo●●
frequently
molest
the
bodies
of
mankind
:
Divers
others
of
horrid
shape
and
forms
,
may
,
and
do
oftentimes
in
fest
them
,
and
are
therein
likewise
ingendred
,

according
as
the
Matter

is

an●
diversly

,
different
and
new
Species
are
produced
every

.
So
that
as
touching
the
number
of
the

Species
of
Worms
,
I
must
conclude
them
indefinite
,
and
so
descend
to
the

Of
the
Parts
affected
.
IN
the
next
place
,
according
to
our
method
,
we
are
to
speak
of
the
Parts
affected
,
which
are
as
many
as
the
Species
or
Kinds
.
For
,
if
the
matter
of
worms
be
thick
,
gross
,
viscid
,
and
putrid
humours
,
joyned
with
heat
and
moisture
,
and
so
quickned
and
rendred
●apt
to
receive
a
vital
property
;
and
if
they
be
ingendred
of
every
humour
,
(
as
you
have
heard
)
what
part
of
the
body
of
man
can
be
free
;
[

*

since
there
is
no
part
wherein
material
and
efficient

may
not
be
abundant
and

?

So
that
,
(
I

)
the
Kinds
cannot
be
more
numerous
,
then
the
Parts
affected
.
Many
,
notwithstanding

make
only
the

for
their
ambition

pride
,
they
fell
from
their
first
state
,
and
were
cast
from
Heaven
into
Hell
;
and
delivered
into
everlasting
Chains
of
Darkness
,
(
although
Origen
held
that
Devils
,
damned
Spirits
,
and
the
Souls
of
men
after
a
certain
time
should
be
freed
)
to
the
resurrection
of
the
Judgement
of
the
great
Day
.
Formerly
Angels
of
Light
,
but
now
Angels
of
Darkness
;
not
begotten
,
as
some
fondly
maintain
and
conceive
with
the
Thalmudists
,
who
(
as
Pererius
on
Gen.
Cap
:
3.

affirms
)
held
,
that
Adam
by
his
first
Wife
(
whom
they
term
Lilis
)
begat
nothing
but
Devils
.
But
created
by
GOD
before
the
foundation
of
the
World
,
Spirits
and
glorious
Bodies
,
and
placed
in
Heaven
,
if
they
could
have
stood
in
that
first
state
without
sinning
.
Neither
are
they
the
Souls
of
men
departed
,
as
Tertullian
,
[

&c.
Tyrius
and
Porphyrius
contend
;
For
they
maintain
that
the
Souls
of
good
men
departed
,
became
Angels
,
or
good
spirits
;
of
bad
men
Devils
,
and
evil
spirits
;
who
,
through
love
to
their
friends
yet
living
,
or
hatred
to
their
enemies
,
did
help
and
assist
them
,
or
persecute
and
torment
them
at
their
pleasure
,
&c.
Now
these
Devils
are
diversly
termed
;
as
they
are
called
Intelligences
,
Boni
&
mali
genii
,
&c.
what
Christians
call
Angels
,
those
same
Philosophers
understand
to
be
Intelligences
;
others
,
Daemones
or
Devils
,
as
the
Platonists
call
all
spirits
whether
Good
,
or
Bad
,
Devils
.
The
Romans
call
them
Boni

mali
genii
,
Heroes
,
Lords
,
if
Good
;
Lemures
,
Larvae
,
if
bad
.
Spectra
,
&c.
And
umbrae
mortuorum
,
if
they
appear
in
the
likeness
of
any
one
dead
.
If
they
had
any
carnal
Copulation
with
men
,
they
were
called
Succubae
;
if
with
women
,
Incubi
.
For
it
hath
been
known
that
they
have
not
only
layn
a
night
or
two
with
them
,
but
to
have
been
marryed
to
men
and
women
,

See
Hector
Boëtius

as

If
they
appear
like
women
bringing
money
into
their
Chambers
,
Desks

Shoes
,
&c.
they
are
called
Fayries
;
Such
were
Ceres

Diana
o●
old
among
the

,
such
also
were

notwithstanding

it

For

of

I
shall
not
here
dispute
how
far
the
Power
of
Devils
extends
.
As
,
whether
they
particularly
guard
men
,
and
Lord
it
over
them
,
as
we
our
Horses
or
Dogs
;
as
the
Platonists
hold
.
Or
,
whether
they
govern
Kingdoms
,
Nations
,
Towns
,
Citys
,
Castles
,
&c.
or
whether
our
Religion
,
Policie
,
Agreement
with
our
Governours
,
good
or
evil
,
depend
upon
their
pleasure
;
whether
they
are
the
Causes
of
publick
,
Of
the
Power
of
Devils
.
or
private
Quarrels
,
Rewarders
of
our
Vertues

of

Vices
:
Send
Plenty
,
Dearth
,
Sword
,
Inundations
,
Earth-quakes
,
Peace
and

;
whether
they
live
and
die
as
we
do
,
only
longer
,
eight
or
nine
hundred
years
,
as
some
think
:
and
then
,
as
they
die
,
our
Governments
,
Religion
,
&c.
alters
and
dies
with
them
,
or
whether
they
eat
and
drink
,
as
Cardan
maintains
,
they
feed
on
mens
Souls
,
and
therefore
thinks
there
is
some
great
Feast
towards
when
there
is
any
great
Battel
fought
;
taking
as
much
delight
,
as
some
think
,
to
see
us
fight
,
as
we
do
our
Game-Cocks
.
That
all
mens
Preferments
and
Prosperity
in
this

is
ordered
by
them

But
his
Arrises
from
the

,

the
fashioning
,
or
not
fashioning
our selves

to
the
nature
of
the
time
wherein
we
live

For
,
whosoever
will
live
altogether
out
of
himself
,
study
other
mens
humours
and
observe
them
,
shall
never
be
unfortunate
.
many
conceive
the
Vertuous
,
Honest
,
and
Religious
sort
of
men
are
so
often
put
by
Honours
,
and
continue
poor
;
when
base
time-serving
mean-spirited
,
unworthy
fellows
,
wickked
,
rude
,

profane
,
nay
,
and
oftentimes
,
Ideots
are
preferred
,
inriched
and
thrive
;
when
the
Learned
,
more
Ingenious
and
Judicious
are
rejected
.
That
they
teach
men
all
Arts
and
Sciences
;
and
as
Paracelsus
contends
,
none
ever
was
eminent
,
either
in
Arts
,
or
knowledge
and
success
in
War
,
&c.
but
he
was
assisted
by
the
Devil
;
Whence
of
old
,
among
the
Romans
,
Heathens
,
and
in
this
our
Land
,
as
[
](A57722-e23640-b)i
i
In
his
Antiquities
of
Britain
.
Verstegan
observes
,
men
worshipped
and
sacrificed
to
Devils
,
as
their
only
GODS
:
which
,
if
we
may
believe
Leo
Suavius
and
Tritemius
,
they
are
greatly
ambitious
of
;
coveting
nothing
more
,
then
to
be
adored
by
men
,
and
to
have
them
kiss
his
Arse
.
I
say
,
I
shall
not
dispute
nor
dwell
upon
these
opinions
,
but
shew
the
Power
of
these
Spirits
(
then
let
loose
and
commissioned
or
permitted
by
GOD
)
in
the
Causing
and
Curing
of
Diseases
,
especially
this
.
For
till
then
,
he
hath
no
Power
at
all
,
being
confined
unto
the
Day
of
Judgement
,
and
limited
by
a
superiour
Power
,

is

fear

heighten

himself

effecteth

to
come

go

the

Nation

where
they
Lived
(
who
knew
all

Neither
is
it

that
such

and
that
he
heard

themselves
confess
as
much
:
But
that
of
Habacuck
,
Ezechiel
and

evinceth
this
truth
,
though
it
seem
strange
to
the
King.
And
such
instances
are
so
common
,
that
almost
all
those
afore-quoted
Authors
are
stuft
with
them
.
But
that
there
are
Witches
,
is
farther
manifest
from
the
Word
of
GOD
,
where
he
expresly

commands
his
people
,
Not
to
suffer

Now
if
they
were

,
as
some
dreamingly
conceit
,
GOD
would
never
appoint
punishments
for
them
,

Now
,
to
compare

what

not

were
absurd
;
which
,
to
imagine
of
this

were
more

impious

apparent
also
from

,
although
Wieru●

and

,
have
wickedly
,
as
well
as
weakly
,
gone
about
to
make
only
a
Cheat
,
or
a
Deceiver
of
the
Word
,
so
deceiving
and
cheating
themselves
,
as
well
as
others
.
So
that
the
Scripture
doth
not
only
evince
the
truth
,
but
also
confirms
it
by
Examples
,
as
in
[

y
Acts

Simon
Magus
,
and
in
her

Spirit

Python
,
or
Divination
,
notwithstanding
these
also
,
are
by
some
made
to
be
rather
Magicians
,
then
Witches
.
I
confess
,
however
,
it
is
no
easie
matter
to
discover
who
is
a
Witch
:
since
there
is
hardly
any
certain
way
taken
for
their
Detection
.
That
of
the
bewitched
parties
beating
,
scratching
,
and
drawing
Blood
of
the
suspected
Witch
,
whereby
they
conceit
themselves
freed
from
the
power
of
the
Witch
,
and
absolutely
cured
of
such
Diseases
and
Fits
,
which
they
thought
were
caused
by
the
party
whom
they
thus
abuse
,
is
but
a
meer
Fansie
.
As
also
that
of
casting
them
into
the
Water
,
concluding
if
they
swim
,
they
are
Witches
,
and
so
proceed
to
Condemnation
;
which
may
be
done
by
the
slights
of
the
Devil
;
It
is
a
difficult
thing
to
discover
a
Witch
.
they
no
wise
depending
on
any
Reason
in
Nature
,
nor
likely
to
proceed
from
GODS
miraculous
workings
which
are
only
done
for
his
glory
.
No
less
ridiculous
is
the
watching
of
them
(
and
pinching
of
them
if
they
fall
asleep
,
or
chance
to
nod
)
sometimes
for
ten
or
twelve
days
together
,
or
more
,
till
they
confess
and
accuse
themselves
;
which
is
the
choisest
means
they
use
in
Scotland
for
the
discovery
of
Witches
:
but
how
rational
,
I
leave
to
the
meanest
Capacity
to
judge
;
For
,
who
of
the
best
of
them
,
might
not
,
either
through
fear
,
be
terrified
into
such
a
Confession
;
or
through
love
to
themselves
,
to
be
freed
of
such
barbarous
cruelty
;
or
through
stupidity
,
having
been
kept
so
long
without
sleep
,
say
any
thing
,
though
never
so
irrational
,
or
destructive
to
themselves
.
Neither
is
the
voluntary
Confession
of
the
party
sufficient
to
evince
a
rational
man
of
his
or
their
being
a
Witch
.
For
many
times
,
melancholly
and
deluded
people
may
accuse
themselves
of
what
they
are
not
in
the
least
guilty
,
and
fansie
to
themselves
,
they
do
strange
things
;
when
they
are
altogether
indigent
,
impotent
Souls
,
ignorant
,
and
know
neither
what
they
say
or
do
.
As
him
in
Christophorus

Vega
,
who
confidently
believed
that
he
was
a
King
,
driven
out
of
his
Dominions
;
or
that
other

who
could
not

but
that
he

,
and
thereupon
would

grant

How

nailing

,
&c.
are
also
as
fallacious
if
not
more
;
there
being
no
reason
in
Nature
to
be
given
why
such
effects
should
ensue
such
means
:
wherefore
,
if
any
such
things
are
done
,
it
is
rather
to
be
imputed
to
the
strength
of
the
parties
Imagination
,
which
gives
him
relief
;
or
to
the
power
and
operations
of
the
Devil
,
who
accordingly
brings
to
pass
their
Conceits
,
that
he
may
farther
insnare
,
delude
and
bring
about
his
manifold
Devices
;
which
continually
he
labours
to
vent
and
act
upon
mankind
.
Nay
,
he
is
so
cunning
,
as
to
make
the
bewitched
party
able
(
as
it
were
by
way
of
Prophesie
)
to
discover
the
Witch
,
by
describing
the
shape
of
his
,
or
her
body
,
age
,
complexion
,
stature
,
habit
,
manner
of
life
,
nay
,
and
secret
moles
and
marks
about
their
bodies
;
whereby
,
although
sometimes
(
to
bring
his
own
Imps
to
shame
)
he
tell
truth
;
yet
at
other
times
,
and
most
times
,
he
flatly
answers
many
innocent
people
,
and
frequently
(
by
GODS
permission
)
is
the
destruction
of
them
.
For
't
is
a
strange
Argument
with
most
,
that
the
persons
thus
described
,
and
so
punctually
by
the
bewitched
,
must
needs
be
the
Witches
,
or
Wizards
;
and
so
through
passion
,
ignorance
,
&c.
not
knowing
how
to
distinguish
of
Causes
and
Effects
,
precipitate
themselves
into
this
gross
Error
,
to
the
destruction
many
times
,
of
divers
innocent
Souls
.
For
,
as
it
is
usual
with
common
Lyers
among
men
,
to
mix
their
stories
with
some
real
truths
,
to
make
their
deceits
take
better
;
so
,
much
more
subtle
is
the
Devil
the
Father
of
Lies
and
Liars
,
to
set
a
gloss
on
his
Delusions
and
Cheats
.
The
which
I
might
illustrate
by
innumerable
Instances
;
But
one
shall
serve
among
the
rest
,
since
I
desire
as
much
brevity
as
I
can
.

is

by

,

Boisardus
,
and
it
is
of
a
Gentleman
of
his
familiar
acquaintance
,
who
being
about
two
Months
marryed
to
a
fair
and
delicate
Lady
,
was
forc'd
by
reason
of
a
Murther
by
him
committed
,
to
fly
into
an
other
Countrey
and
leave
her
:
where
,
in
his
exile
and
solitary
thoughts
,
he
was
exceeding
desirous
to
know
,
if
possible
,
what
his
Wife
was
doing
in
his
absence
.
Whereupon
he
consulted
a
Magician
,
living
where
he
then
was
;
who
first
exactly
described
unto
him
the
Frame
,
Building
,
and
Ornaments
of
his
House
where
his
Wife
was
,
then
her
Shape
,
Countenance
,
Apparel
,
&c.
which
being
all
true
,
caused
as
well
as
Admiration
,
a
firm
Belief
of
what
he
should
farther
discover
.
Then
the
Magician
acquainted
him
there
was
a
very
comely
young
man
standing
close
unto
her
with
his
Breeches
about
his
Heels
;
whence
he
positively
concludes
to
himself
,
all
was
naught
,
and
so
resolv'd
to
steal
home
privately
,
and
kill
her
without
mercy
.
At
length
coming
near
his
own
House
,
sent
for
her
by
a
Ring
she
had
given
him
at
his
departure
,
and
meeting
,
her
courteous
and
loving
entertainment
,
so
allayed
the
heat
of
his
Fury
and
Revenge
,
that
he
had
the
patience
and
the
happiness
of
some
small
Discourse
.
In
which
he
inquired
of
her
,
if
at
such
a
day
she
had
not
on
such
Apparel
,
and
of
such
a
Colour
;
which
she
(
with
much
amazement
)
confessed
;
then
he
examined
more
closely
,
what
that
was
which
she
so
smooth'd
and
stroak'd
in
her
hand
,
and
who
that
young
man
was
that
stood
so
near
her
with
his
Breeches
about
his
Heels
.
She
thereupon
,
more
and
more
admiring
,
and
perceiving
the
sudden
change
of
a
cruel
,
jealous
,
and
revengeful
aspect
in
her
Husbands
Countenance
,
desiring
his
patience
,
and
a
right
information
should
be
given
him
;
which
in
some
measure
,
he
granting
,
she
told
the
truth
,
viz.
That
the
young
man
was
his
own
Brother
(
who
could
likewise
attest
the
verity
thereof
)
and
that
which
she
stroak'd
and
smooth'd
with
her
hand
,
was
a
Plaister
which
she
was
about
to
apply
to
his
Hip
,
where
he
had
a
very
grievous
and
painful
Ulcer
:
whereat
,
her
Husband
abominated
the
evil
intended
,
and
repented
him
,
detesting
that
excerable
and
damnable
Art
of
Magick
,
and
the
Lying-True-Devices
of
the
Devil
.
Whence
you
may
see
,
many
men
may
be
deceived
,
amidst
these
ambiguous
Oracles
of
his

I

noted

much
applauded

as
I

accompt
the

made
only
to

So
on

I
must
as

condemn

disallow

the
deluding
practices
of
cheating
Impostors

also
that

I
shall
add
something
.
For
,
since

hath
made

,
the

must
have
power

elsewhere
,
since
it
it
is
a
truth
clear
to
every
rational
man
;
but
I
hasten
to
this
point
.
If
then
,
we
rightly
consider
of
what
hath
been
premised
,
viz.
That
Man
is
not
exempt
from
the
Influencies
of
the
Starrs
and
superiour
Celestial
Bodies
,
being
an
elementary
Body
;
That
Starrs
have
Influencies
in
general
,
and
particularly
are
the
Causes
of
all
generation
and
corruption
;
That
they
are
the
Causes
of
our
Health
and
Sickness
,
&c.
It
will
be
no
difficult
matter
to
perceive
the
truth
aimed
at
in
this
my
Digressive
Discourse
of
Starrs
Influencies
,
Causes
of
Diseases
.
And
in
a
particular
,
and
especial
manner
they
may
produce
Worms
,
by
a
secret
property
and
innate
vertue
in
the
bodies
of
mankind
of
all
Ages
and
Constitutions
,
as
well
as
by
their
Light
and
Heat
,
may
excite
,
exagitate
,
and
augment
this
,
or
that
,
or
the
other
humour
,
and
dispose
them
to
putrifaction
and
corruption
at
certain
times
,
and
in
certain
bodies
,
having
in
them
such
impure
humours
,
The
sum
of
all
applyed
to
the
present
Subject
.
as
are
the
Seeds
of
these
Vermin
.
Whence
we
see
that
in
Autumn
,
and
in
the
Spring
men
are
most
subject
to
the
ingendring
of
them
,
the
humours
being
by
the
seasons
disturbed
,
exagitated
and
exposed
more
to
corruption
and
putrifaction
,
then
before
;
which
seasons
(
as
you
have
heard
)
with
Winters
Cold
,
and
Summers
uncertain
Heat
(
caused
by
the
several
Constellations
and
Positions
of
the
Starrs
and
various
Configurations
of
the
Planets
as
they
are
ingendred
,
or
remitted
)
are
likewise
occasioned
.
Whence
in
Winter
,
by
its
Cold
and
Crude
Air
,
many
Crudities
of
the
like
nature
are
accumulated
in
our
bodies
indisposed
;
and
in
Summer
by
its
ardent
heat
,
in
impure
Constitutions
,
and
such
as
have
an
aptitude
for
the
ingendring
of
worms
,
are
abundantly
multiplyed
.
At
all
times
,
and
in
all
Constitutions
,
more
or
less
may
this
be
verified
;
according
as
the
body
is
in
temperature
,
or
disposed
:
and
the
Celestial
Influencies
be
tending
to
Heat
,
Cold
,
Drought
,
or
Moisture
,
or
to
any
occult
quality
;
For
,
we
see
often
both
Beasts
and
Plants
,
nay
and
Men
also
,
in
great
danger
,
by
a
particular
Constitution
alone
,
and
malignant
Influence
;
whilst
others
in
the
same
company
and
condition
,
are
free
,
and
all
nothing
;
and
that
without
the
mediation
of
those
manifest
qualities
,
the
temperature
of
the
Air
,
Rain
,
Hail
,
Snow
,
&c.
and
perhaps
too
,
without
the
mediation
of
any
humours
at
all
:
which
,
if
it
should
be
asserted
:
the
affection
sometimes
is
so
sudden
,
so
strange
and
divers
,
it
will
be
no
easie
matter
to
shew
the
contrary
.
And
we
frequently
find
by
experience
,
that
even
when
the
Air
hath
not
inclined
to
putrifaction
,
neither
the
Constitution
of
the
Patient
;
yet
the
body
by
some
occult
influence
,
hath
notwithstanding
,
been
repleat
with
worms
.
Neither
is
it
almost
possible
,
there
should
be
any
Constitution
of
the
Air
,
or
Season
;
but
in
one
other
,
these
Vermin
will
be
thereby
ingendred
:
since
our
natural
heat
,
and
corruption
,
and
putrifaction
,
differ
only
in
Degree
.
For
,
that
which
doth
help
to
digest
and
correct
the
faeculent
and
putrid
humours
in
me
,
may
excite
&
increase
them
more
in
thee
,
or
a
third
man
,
according
as
we
differ
in
temperature
,
and
are
more
or
less
subject
and
exposed
by
our
natural
Constitution
,
ill
Customs
,
or
Disorders
,
to
the
malignant
influence
of
this
,
or
that
Planet
and
Constellation
.
They
cause
in
us
worms
also
,
by
their
exhaling
power
and
vertue
,
thereby
ingendring
and
stirring
up
Winds
,
Rain
,
Hail
,
Snow
,
Clouds
,
Mists
,
and
other
noxious
vapours
,
which
corrupt
the
Air
,
and
vitiate
our
humours
,
so
as
consequently
,
those
Creatures
must
be
ingendred
.
But
of
this
more
beneath
.
Some
object
against
all
this
I
know
,
or
may
;
from
that
Axiom
,
Forma
viventis
,
nobilioris
forma
solis
,
quae
tantum
est
forma

.
So
concluding
with
that
Theorem
,
Nibil
potest

nobilius
generare
.
But
this
would
run
us
into
a
larger
Dispute

Of

Congenite

I
Shall
begin
with
Congenite
and
Natutural
Causes
,
which
are
all
the
Ages
of
Man
,
from
the
Cradle
to
the
Grave
;
which
no
one
can
avoyd
that
lives
in
the
World
,
every
one
being
in
one
or
other
of
them
;
and
if
they
live
long
,
run
through
all
.
All
which
being
incident
to
Corruption
,
and
apt
to
ingender
thick
,
gross
,
viscid
,
and
putrid
faeculent
humours
and
Crudities
of
all
sorts
and
kinds
,
as
in
some
measure
hath
[
](A57722-e28810-b)d

been
hinted
.
As
we
see
Infancy
is
but
(
as
it
were
)
a
mass
of
corruption
and
putrifaction
,
and
(
in
a
manner
)
made
up
of
nothing
else
according
to
that
of
Job
,
[
](A57722-e28850-b)e
e
Job
.
17.14
.
I
have
said
to
Corruption
,
thou
art
my
Father
,
to
the
Worm
,
thou
art
my
Mother
,
whence
they
oftentimes
are
born
into
the
world
with
them
,
as
was

.
And
after
they
are
born
,
how
long
do
they
live
upon
Milk
and
such
a
Diet
as
is
most
prone
to
corrupt
and
ingender
them
,
to
overthrow
the
tender
frame
of
their
Constitutions
,
to
subvert
the
Course
of
Nature
,
hinder
Digestion
,
improve
Natural
Heat
,
and
introduce
infinite
sorts
of
Crudities
,
the
Seeds
not
only
of
these
Vermine
,
but
of
most
,
if
not
all
Diseases
.
And
when
they
are
able
to
run
about
,
the
case
is
the
same
with
them
for
matter
of
Diet
,
or
worse
;
meeting
them
more
frequently
with
variety
of
Trash
,
and
that
which
is
worst
of
all
,
exercising
upon
a
full
Stomach
,
and
at
unseasonable
times
;
being
tied
to
no
order
,
nor
having
reason
to
regulate
themselves
better
.
Again
,
after
the
fourteenth
year
of
their
Age
to
the
twenty
fifth
,
who
but
they
?
And
how
many
hundred
thousand
,
wayes
do
they
in
their
youth
,
by
their
head-strong
courses
,
inordinate
drinking
,
extravagant
gormandizing
,
sitting
up
late
at
nights
,
whoring
and
other
prodigal
wayes
,
subvert
their
healths
,
extinguish
natural
heat
,
corrupt
their
blood
and
humours
;
and
(
thinking
their
own
Wit
best
)
run
into
all
manner
of
Riot
and
Excess
,
hating
reproof
and
admonition
like
Salomons
Brute
.
g
These
Disorders
hinder
Natures
operations
,
whence
ensue
Crudities
,
ingendring
worms
.
The
same
may
be
said
of
the
Fifth
and
Sixth
Ages
,
since
not
one
man
or
woman
of
ten
thousand
,
either
know
how
to
order
their
lives
,
to
chuse
what
is
advantagious
,
and
avoid
what
is
offensive
or
noxious
;
nay
some
that
do
know
it
(
such
are
mens
sensual
appetites
naturally
!
)
rather
destroy
their
Healths
and
Lives
,
then
displease
their
Palates
;
corrupt
all
the
humours
in
their
bodies
,
then
cross
one
fantastical
desire
,
or
leave
off
one
luxurious
custom
,
though
never
so
destructive
.
They
are
no
Changelings
(
they
say
)
indeed
:
for
their
obstinacy
,
and
perseverance
in
evil
,
it
's
true
,
they
are
none
;
it
were
well
,
notwithstanding
,
if
they
were
:
yet
while
they
boast
of
this
,
they
cannot
acquit
themselves
of
being
Fools
,
or
Changelings
in
that
sense
.
They
are
too
wise
to
be
advised
,
or
to
amend
;
a
short
Life
and
a
sweet
pleases
them
best
;
and
let
them
take
it
for
me
.
And
as
for
the
Seventh
and
last
Age
,
in
which
there
is
a
decay
of
Natural
Heat
,
whereby
Coldness
and
Crudities
are
abundant
;
and
being
(
as
it
were
)
repleat

the

Seeds

For
,

So

That

For
,
where
the
Complexion
and
Constitution
of
the
Parents
are
corrupt
,
there
the
Complexion
and
Constitution
of
the
Children
must
needs
be
also
corrupt
,
and
so
it
is
introduced
from
the
Father
to
the
Son
;
though
not
at
all
times
,
other
Causes
preventing
:
yet
for
the
most
part
it
is
of
such
force
,
as
Nolphius

notes
,
that
it
alters
even
the
Primary
Causes
and
Decrees
of
Heaven
.
So
that
from
this
depraved
origination
of
our
infirm
Parents
,
we
being
also
infirm
,
our
viscera
essentially
weak
,
no
wonder
Crudities
ensue
,
and
from
thence
,
not
only
worms
;
but
most
,
if
not
all
Diseases
,
and
that
irresistably
;
for
,
according
to
Horace
,
Naturam
expellas
furca
,
licet
usque
recurret
.
To
prevent
therefore
,
Hereditary
Maladies
,
many
well-governed
Nations
in
former
times
,
did
invent
divers
strict
Laws
against
all
Marriages
where
the
parties
were
Deficient
,
or
unsound
in
body
or
mind
.
As
Hector
Boëthius
[
](A57722-e29330-b)n
n
Lib.
1.
De
veterum
Scotorum
moribus
.
writes
of
the
Scots
,
among
whom
,
it
was
formerly
a
Custom
,
that
if
any
that
had
the
Falling-sickness
,
Madness
,
Gout
,
Leprosie
,
or
any
such
virulent
Disease
,
that
was
likely
to
be
conveyed
from
the
Father
to
the
Son
should
be
found
,
he
was
instantly
gelded
;
if
a
woman
,
she
was
kept
from
all
company
of
men
,
and
if
they
found
any
with
some
such
disease
,
to
be
with
Child
,
she
with
her
Brood
were
immediately
buryed
alive
.
Whence
perhaps
it
is
,
that
most
commonly
,
the
people
of
that
Nation
(
especially
the
men
)
exceed
in
comliness
,
stature
,
strength
of
body
,
and
healthiness
,
those
of
our
Native
Countrey
of
England
.
It
being
usual
,
as
the
same
Boëthius
[
](A57722-e29380-b)o

observes
,
for
the
people
in
the
Island
of
Orchades
to
live
an
hundred
and
twenty
years
,
for
the
most
part
sound
in
body
and
mind
,
without
the
help
of
Physick
.
But
Sots
as
we
are
,
in
this
most
weighty
matter
we
are
too
remiss
,
marrying
any
deformed
unwholsome
piece
of
mortality
for
a
little
money
,
when
we
are
curious
of
the
strain
of
our
Horses
,
Doggs
,
Pigeons
,
Game-Cocks
;

so

.
And
if
so
,
what
profit
hath
a

of
all

Wherefore
,
we
may

as

happen

of

They
are
called
Necessary
Causes
,
because
they
necessarily
alter
us
,
according
as
they
are
used
,
or
abused
by
us
:
And
Nonnatural
things
,
Non
,
quod

;
not
that
they
are
not
to
be
numbred
among
other
things
of
the
World
,
or
are
contrary
to
Nature
.
But
because
they
do
not
so
appertain
to
the
Constitution
of
our
Bodies
,
neither
are
they
unnatural
,
or
besides
Nature
,
but
as
it
were
,
a
medium
between
preternaturals
and
the
humours
whereby
the
Body
subsisteth
or
is
constituted
.
For
they
are
accidental
,
but
such
by
which
Nature
doth
subsist
,
however
they
are
not
essentially
natural
unto
us
so
as
that
they
frame
the
Constitution
of
our
Bodies
;
yet
they
inevitably
alter
them
according
as
they
are
used
.
As
,
if
rightly
used
,
they
preserve
the
Body
in
strength
and
health
;
if
abused
,
corrupt
and
destroy
the
whole
Constitution
and
good
temperature
thereof
.
Sennertus
divideth
them
into
four
Classes
.
1.
Those
that
are
received
into
our
Bodies
.
2.
Those
that
are
carryed
about
with
us
.
3.
Those
that
are
reteined
and
evacuated
.
4.
And
those
that
are
extrinsecal
and
without
us
.
Some
being
External
and
some
Evident
,
if
we
rightly
consider
;
the
External
,
or
those
that
may
be
most
properly
so
termed
,
are
the
two
first
,
Air

Meat

the
Evident
are
the
four
last
,
Sleeping

,
Rest

Retentions

the

So

such

Those
that

are
the
motions
of
the
Body

Soul.
As
Perturbations
,
Anger
,
Joy
,
Grief
,
and
Fear
,
with
those
divers

It
surrounds
and
invirons
our
Bodies
insinuating
it self
thereinto
by
the
Mouth
,
Nostrils
,
Pores
,
and
such
like
passages
.
Wherefore
,
as
is
the
Air
,
such
are
our
Spirits
,
and
as
our
Spirits
so
likewise
are
our
Humours
.
Our
Bodies
must
be
consequently
much
advantaged
or
injured
by
it
,
since
they
are
continually
exposed
thereunto
,
for
we
cannot
live
,
ne

,
without
it
;
being
constantly
by
respiration
drawn
into
the
bodies
of
men
and
women
,
and
being
in
a
moment
diffused
into
all
the
parts
of
the
body
,
according
to
its
quality
,
substance
,
&c.
It
affects
the
Vitals
and
Spirits
first
,
then
the
Humours
,
and
lastly
the
substantial
parts
.
So
that
there
is
a
necessity
in
this
nonnatural
;
for
as
it
is
the
Cause
of
Life
,
so
likewise
is
it
of
Sickness
,
Diseases
,
and
Death
it self
,
if
it
be
impure

and
Humours
,
so
a
vitiated
Air
and
impure
subverts
the
Natural
Tempers
and
Constitutions
of
our
Bodies
,
and
changeth
the
good
habit
thereof
,
into
its
own
temper
and
quality
.
Southern
Winds
and
Nocturnal
Air
,
is
thick
and
unwholsome
,
thickening
the
Humours
and
obstructing
the
passages
.
A
Tempestuous
Air
is
altogether
as
bad
;
Aêr
conturbatus
sanguinem
turbat
ac
conspurcat
;
a
disturbed
Air
troubleth
and
polluteth
the
blood
.
For
,
as
the
Waves
of
the
Sea
,
so
are
our
Humours
and
Spirits
tossed
with
tempestuous
winds
or
storms
;
and
the
Devil
oftentimes
(
as
Lemnius
thinks
)
takes
occasion
in
such
storms
,
when
the
Humours
are
thereby
perturbed
,
to
enter
into
our
bodies
with
them
,
and
so
exagitates
our
Spirits
,
vexes
our
Souls
,
and
corrupts
our
Humours
.
A
thin
Air
on
the
other
side
,
resolves
the
Spirits
,
attenuates
the
Humours
;
and
if
joyned
with
moisture
,
exposes
them
as
much
to
putrifaction
as
the
other
,
if
we
may
believe
our
own
Reason
,
and
then
that
it
may
be
the
introducing
cause
of
worms
will
not
be
denyed
;
I
mean
Aer
in
Substance
.
In
Qualitie
also
it
may
be
no
less
a

,
essentially
to
some
certain
bodies
,
who
,
according
to
their
divers
dispositions
and
the
pravity
of
their
Humours
,
they
become
corrupted
;
for
the
Air
affecteth
our

Yet
is
it
not

este●med

For
it

and
hath
certain

It

be
accompted

of

(
as
we
call

)

may
be
the

whence
are
ingendred
many
vitious

corrupt
Humours
,
breeding
not
only
worms
,
but
most
Diseases
.
In
like
manner
,
a
Moist
Air
is
not
only
bad
,
but
the
worst
of
the
three
,
destroying
Natural
Heat
,
and
that
chiefly
,
if
it
be

Air
,
filling
the

the

if
hot

,
it
begets
Rottenness
and
Corruptions
,
stirring
up
infectious
and
putrid
Diseases
.
So
that
I
may
well
conclude
,
then
it
must
needs
be
an
introducing
Cause
of
worms
,
and
that
of
all
sorts

also

also
Arcturus
or
Azamech
in
the
Constellation
of
Bootes
,
then
setting
;
these
Constellations
being
all
naturally
violent
and
tempestuous
,
Southern
and
moist
winds
are
raised
for
certain
days
together
,
Storms
,
Hail
,
sharp
blasts
,
&c.
And
Saturn
never
leaves
one
Sign
and
enters
another
,
(
without
the
Interposition
of
other
Aspects
)
but
he
occasions
Tempests
,
Storms
,
and
a
turbulent
Air
,
let
it
be
what
time
it
will
.
And
we
see
daily
,
the
Air
altered
by
the
several
Aspects
and
Configurations
of
the
Luminaries
with
the
other
Planets
and
Starrs
:
As
when
they
are
in
any
Aspect
of
Saturn
their
opposer
,
who
hath
dominion
over
the
opposite
Signs
to
their
Houses
(
other
Constellations
and
Configurations
hindring
not
)
incline
the
Air
to
moisture
,
cold
and
darkness
:
whence
it
is
colder
in
January
when
the
dayes
grow
longer
,
then
in
December
when
they
are
at
the
shortest
,
and
the
Sun
most
remote
from
us
;
because
he
is
then
in
Capricorn
;
yet
in
Aquarius
,
as
in
January
,
the
Sign
opposite
to
Leo
the
Sun's
Joy
,
the
cold
is
more
intense
.
And
so
on
the
contrary
,
't
is
hotter
in
July
when
the
dayes
are
shortning
,
then
in
June
when
they
are
at
the
longest
,
and
the
Sun
at
his
heighth
;
because
he
is
then
in
his
own
Sign
and
a
fiery
,
when
as
in
June
he
is
in
a
cold
,
moist
and
watry
Sign
,
and
the
House
of
the
Moon
.
And
who
can
be
ignorant
that
as
soon
as
Mercury
doth
but
change
his
Habit
in
the
least
,
either
in
the
Zodiack
,
or
in
his
Orb
,
the
Air
is
thereupon
immediately
altered
.
And
according
to
the
nature
of
the
Planet
to
which
he
is
joyned
in
the
opening
of
Gates
the
Air
is
diversly
changed
;
as
if
he
be
joyned
then
to
Saturn
,
he
causeth
fierce
,
cold
blasts
,
dark
Air
and
Rain
.
To
Venus
Clouds
and
Showers
,
in
times
and
places
convenient
;
to
Jupiter
Wind
and
Rain
,
&c.
And
so
judge
of
the
rest
according
to
their
nature
.
Likewise
the
Conjunction
,
Squares
and
Opposition
of
Saturn
with
Jupiter
,
Mars
,
or
any
of
the
rest
of
the
Planets
,
or
when
there
is
any
apertio
Portarum
among
them
,
they
alter
the
Air
in
a
wonderfull
manner
,
according
to

of

,
their
places
in

Lastly
,
that
the
North
winds
dispose
the
Air
to
Dryness

is
evident
.

are

by

Now
that
we
may
the
better
understand
what
these
Zones
are
,
it
will
be
requisite
to
know
(
a
little
by
way
of
Digression
)
that
in
the
Sphear
of
the
World
,
there
are
Divers
Circles
;
The
Division

of
which
,
some
are
moveable
,
some

;
some
greater
,
and
some
again
,
less
;
The
greater
Circles
are
those
that
have
the
same
Center
with
the
Heavens
:
The
lesser
have
their
Centers
out
of
that
of
the
Spear
,
viz.
The

They
are
so
denominated
,
because
they
have
an
imperfect
revolution
in
turning
with
the
Sphear
upon
the
points
of
their
Circumference
,
and
not
about
their
proper
Poles
,
as
other
Circles
.
So
that
then
movable
Circles
are
in
all

just
eight

Of
the
Immovable
Circles
,
some
are
Paralel
,
some
Vertigal

some
Horary
,
dividing
the
Hours
of
the
Day
and
Night
.
Others
divide
the
Heavens
into
twelve
equal
Parts
or
Houses
.
But
the
immovable
Circles
,
are
the
Horizon

,
which
to
imagine
to
be
solid
,
hard
,
and
impenitrable

the
like
,

too

Imaginary

Inventions
of
our
Astronomers
and

;
admitted

side

feign
to

This
Equator
being
placed
diversly
between
the
Poles
,
divideth
the
whole
Sphear
into
two
equal
parts

the
which
again
is
in

manner
divided

of
Cancer
and
Capricorn
(
and
is
called
the
Solsticial
Colure
)
and
both
by
the
Poles
of
the
World
,
whereby
they
are
divided
into
three
Angles
:
So
that
the
Ark
of
the
Solsticial
Colure
betwixt
one
of
the
Equinoctials
and
the
next
Solstead
,
is
the
measure
of
the
greatest
declination
of
the
Sun
,
which
must
needs
be
equal
to
the
Ark
of
that
Colure
,
which
is
between
one
of
the
Poles
of
the
World
,
and
the
next
Pole
or
Tropick
of
the
Zodiack
.
For
by
how
much
one
great
Circle
declineth
from
another
,
by
so
much
the
Poles
of
the
one
are
distant
from
the
Poles
of
the
other
;
because
all
greater
Circles
are
equal
,
and
have
one
common
Center
,
equally
dividing
themselves
,
having
their
declination
likewise
just
in
the
midst
of
their
Intersections
:
Whence
is
apparent
,
those
four
little
Circles
divide
the
whole
Sphear
into
five
principal
Parts
or
Regions
,
commonly
called
Zones
,
unto
which
as
many
Parts
and
Regions
answer
upon
the
Terrestrial
Globe
,
Of
the
Zones
of
the
World.
differing
in
magnitude
and
disposition
or
nature
,
according
to
the
tradition
of
the
Sun.
The
largest
,
or
that
which
is
most
spacious
,
lies
betwix
the
two
Tropicks
,
and
is
in
the
midst
,
divided
by
the
Equator
or
Line
of
the
World
,
whereby
it
is
most
temperate
under
the
Line
,
and
in
the
midst
;
because
the
Dayes
and
Nights
are
of
an
equal
length
,
the
Sun
ever
rising
at
six
,
and
setting
at
six
;
and
by
reason
of
the
great
Dews
which
fall
in
the
Night
,
the
Heat
of
the
Day
is
thereby
compens't
;
besides
,
in
the
Day-time
,
there
are
frequent
Brizes
and
Gales
of
Wind
which
likewise
temper
the
Air
,
so
that
it
is
more
cool
at
Noon
,
then
about
nine
in
the
Morning
before
the
ventilating
of
those
Brizes
;
again
,
the
Sun
in
this
part
maketh
no
long
stay
,
only
passeth
by
,
or
crosseth
the
Equator
,
and
so
causeth
two
Summers
and
two
Winters
.
But
about
the
borders
thereof
,
near
the
Tropick
,
it
is
most
excessive
Hot
,
because
the
Sun
by
his
reversion
and
turning
still
back
again
when
he
is
come
to
the
vertical
point
,
redoubleth
the
Heat
;
making
one
perpetual
long
Summer
,
without
any
intermission
of
Winter
;
neither
is
there
those
fresh
gales
of
wind
in
those
parts
,
nor
that
qualification
of
Heat
by
the
coldness
of
the
Night
,
because
the
Day
is
so
much
the
longer
then
the
Night
,
that
the
ardent
heat
thereof
is
impossible
to
be
thereby
allayed
;
wherefore
this
part
is
termed
the
Torrid
Zone
.
The
two
smalest
Regions
or
Zones
,
or
most
extream
,
are
comprized
about
the
Poles
of
the
World
within
the
Artick
and
Artartick
Circles
;
wherefore
,
one
is
called
the
North
,
the
other
the
South
Zone
,
the
which
being
so
remote
from
the
Zodiack
,
the
Cold
must
needs
be
the
more
intense
,
and
so
are
termed
the
frigid
Zones
.
The
other
two
are
menes
between
the
great
one
(
which
is
in
the
midst
of
them
all
)
and
those
two
being
most
extream
and
least
,
being
larger
towards
the
Tropicks
,
then
towards
the
Polary
Circles
by
which
they
are
bounded
,
whence
they
become
more
temperate
,
and
are
therefore
call'd
Temperate
Zones
;
the
Sun's
Course
being
neither
too
oblique
nor
direct
.
Thus
we
see
the
disposition
of
the
Air
is
also
varied
.
For
Immovable
Circles
,
I
referr
you
to

6.
The
Air
is
also
altered
by
Climates
,
which
are
nothing
else
but
the
Spaces
of
the
Terrestrial
Globe
between
two
Paralels
towards
the
same
Pole
from
the
Equator
,
each
Region
differing
from
anothers
bounds
the
space
of
half
an
hour
of
a
day
;
yet
this
difference
is
not
in
those
which
are
near
the
Pole
;
of
which
,
the
seventh
which
passeth
between
the
twelfth
and
the
fourteenth
Paralel
,
is
counted
the
most
temperate
;
that
is
comparatively
.
For
this
admits
of
Intemperancie
sometimes
;
but
not
in
that
excessive
degree
of
the
rest
more
extreamly
situated
,
as
is
evident
.
7.
Likewise
it
is
altered
by
the
Cardinal
Regions
of
the
Woild
.
For
Eastern
Regions
are
moderately
temperate
,
furnished
with
pure
,
clear
,
sweet
water
,
&c.
And
Polybius
commends
Lucitania
;
and
Spain
is
also
by
Justin
,
for
an
healthy
Countrey
,
and
free
from
all
noxious
vapours
.
And
Egypt

be
of
that
excellent
temperature
,
that
neither
Cold
in
Winter
,
nor
Heat
in
Summer

Line
,
and
in
the
temperate
Zone
,
it
is
(
as
you
have
heard
)
much
more
temperate
,
then
in
it's
Borders
,
or
in
Barbary
;
and
yet
in
other
places
under
the
Line
,
as
in
St.
Thomas
Isle
,
and
Manamotapa
in
Africa
;
it
is
most
excessive
hot
,
and
their
Inhabitants
Cole
Black
,
when
those
in
Peru
and
other
places
under
the
same
Line
are
White
,
and
in
the
same
parallel
the
Air
temperate
;
yet
some
have
reported
,
that
in
Peru
on
the
one
side
of
the
Mountains
,
it
is
hot
,
and
on
the
other
cold
,
&c.
and
which
is
not
a
little
wonderful
,
in
one
and
the
same
Latitude
,
there
should
be
such
difference
in
the
Complexions
,
Natures
and
Constitutions
of
men
,
and
quality
of
the
Air
and
Soil
.
As
,
the
Inhabitants
about
the
Straits
of
Magelan
are
White
;
and
yet
they
lie
in
the
same
degree
of
Latitude
,
and
equally
distant
from
the
Equator
as
those
Negroes
and
[
](A57722-e34640-b)†

Whence
we
may
conclude
,
is
no
impertinent
Inquisition
of
the
Reason
and
Cause
of
Black
Mores
,
it
being
as
difficult
as
nice
.
Black
Mores
do
.
Also
the
Italians
and
Spaniards
are
White
,
who
are
in
the
same
Latitude
with
the
Inhabitants
of
Cape
of
good
Hope
(
as
we
term
it
)
that
are
Black.
In
some
parts
of
Ethiopia
they
are
Dun
and
Tauny
;
in
Zeilan
again
and
Malabar
parallel
with
them
,
absolutely
Black.
And
although
Africa
be
an
healthy
place
,
yet
it
breeds
multitudes
of
poysonous
Creatures
;
and
Ireland
which
is
not
so
healthy
(
especially
in
Boggy
parts
)
hath
no
venomous
thing
in
it
,
neither
will
any
live
therein
.
The
Western
Regions
on
the
other
side
are
more
sickly
and
unhealthy
,
the
Sun
and
other
Planets
drawing
all
the
Mists
and
Vapours
which
they
exhale
in
the
day-time
towards
the
West
,
and
being
nearer
the
Sea
,
&c.
whereby
they
are
furnished
with
muddy
,
troubled
waters
,
impure
and
unwholsome
.
As
Sir
Richard
Hawkins
,
therefore
,
speaks
of
the
Isles
of
Cape
de
Verd
,
I
may
pronounce
of
these
Regions
;
That
they
are
the
most
unhealthy
in
the
World
,
for
Feavers
,
Calentures
,
Frenzies
,
Fluxes
and
putrid
distempers
.
Neither
are
the
Southern
much
better
,
by
reason
of
multiplicity
of
vapours
,
and
gross
exhalations
,
breeding
Lasks
,
and
filling
the
Brains
,
Bodies
and
Vitals
of
Men
and
Women
with
putrid
humours
and
vitious
,
dulling
and
stupifying
them
;
as
Horace
sang
of
the
Baeotians
,
Baeotum
in
Crasso
jurares
Aëre
natum
.
Whereas
on
the
contrary
,
the
Northern
people
by
reason
of
the
sharp
,
clear
,
cold
Air
,
wherewith
they
do
abound
;
the
Inhabitants
of
those
Regions
are
more
quick-witted
,
ingenious
,
more
tall
,
comly
,
and
long-lived
.
As
Leo
Affer
commends
the
Egyptians
for
mirth
and
●ollity
;
because
of
the
serenity
and
purity
of
their
Air.
And

Cicero
says
,
the
Athenians
are
more
quick-witted
then
the
dull
block-headed
Thebeans
and
others
,
because
they
live
in
a
more
pure
,
clear
and
serene
Air
,
and
truly
a
foggy
,
thick
Air
,
doth
not
only
dull
the
Senses
,
but
also
makes
men
thick
,
fat
,
and
gross
bodied
that
live
in
it
,
as
the
Thebeans
were
,
and
Dutch
are
.
8.
The
Air
is
altered
according
to
the
position
of
Regions
and
Provinces
.
For
,
what
brings
health
to
one
place
,
is
oftentimes
most
pernitious
and
mortal
to
another
.
As
,
we
see
the
Western
Winds
are
very
noxious
to
the
Gascoins
;
yet
most
grateful
to
the
Italians
and
Grecians
.
The
North-north-west
wind
also
,
every
one
knows
,
is
very
grateful
and
serene
to
us
in
Europe
:
to
the
Borderers
the
West-south-west
wind
is
rainy
and
stormy
.
In
Locris
and
Croto
(
if
we
may
believe
[
](A57722-e35090-b)s
s
Lib.
2.
Cap.
99.
Pliny
)
the
Plague
was
never
known
,
nor
in
that
part
of
Ethiopia
by
the
Black
Sea
;
yet
in
Mauritania
it
ruins
all
;
and
at
Tholouse
it
hath
continued
seven
years
together
.
So
it
is
usually
more
violent
in
Northern
than
Southern
parts
.
In
Mare
Pacifico
,
or
that
which
some
call
Del
Zur
,
there
is
seldome
or
never
any
wind
stirring
;
and
yet
in
the
Atlantick
Seas
,
there
are
perpetual
storms
.
Bohemia
,
by
reason
it
lies
along
to
the
North
,
is
cold
;
when
as
again
in
Toledo
,
it
is
as
hot
:
In
this
our
Island
of
Great
Britain
there
is
frequently
or
perpetually
Clouds
;
which
some
think
is
because
it
is
an
Island
;
but
I
think
that
no
satisfactory
Reason
,
since
Rhoads
,
over
which
there
was
scarce
ever
any
Cloud
seen
,
is
likewise
an
Island
.
And
Egypt
where
it
never
yet
rained
(
save
only
Hail
mingled
with
[
](A57722-e35230-b)t
t

.
Fire
)
is
not
far
from
the
Sea
.
In
some
Countreys
,
Foggs
and
Mists
infest
them
;
in
others
they
have
a
constant
serene
Air.
Under
the
Equinoctial
Line
are
certain
winds
at
such
and
such
times
of
the
day
,
as
was
said
,
and
in
some
parts
of
the
world
,
the
wind
blows
constantly
one
way
for
half
a
year
together
,
and
the
other
half
year
,
the
contrary
way

and
here
again
in
this
our
Island
in
the
same
Latitude
,
we
have
more
open
and
temperate
weather
.
9.
The
Air
is
altered
by
the
scituation
of
Houses
and
Cities
;
wherefore
,
according
to
the
diversity
of
places
,
Houses
ought
accordingly
to
be
built
,
and
so
likewise
Cities
;
as
we
see
in
most
Cities
of
Italy
and
Spain
,
their
Streets
are
built
narrow
,
●nd
the
Houses
almost
close
at
the
Top
,
to
refract
the
Sun-beams
;
and
we
in
England
not
being
so
molested
with
Heat
,
build
more
large
and
spacious
Streets
;
and
if
any
such
narrow
there
are
,
it
was
rather
contrived
for
commodity
of
Trade
,
and
that
they
might
lose
no
room
,
&c.
10.
And
lastly
,
It
may
be
altred
by
the
particular
Constitution
and
Nature
of
places
.
As
,
from
certain
Ditches
,
where
the
Carkases
of
Creatures
have
been
thrown
,
Caves
and
Holes
in
the
ground
,
do
very
noxious
,
and
pernitious
Vapours
pours
proceed
.
As
,
near

,
where

an

breathing

,
as
the
very
Birds
that
fly
over
it
,
are
said
to
fall
down
dead
thereinto
;
according
to
that
of
Virgil
,
Aeneid
.

So
also
,
as
one
travels
from
Peru
into
Chila
,
as
Liburius
[
](A57722-e35500-b)x
x

origine
rerum

notes
,
men
meet
with
such
a
deadly
Air
,
that
their
limbs
before
they
are
sensible
,
fall
from
their
bodies
.
Haldromot
in
like
manner
,
tells
us
of
a
wind
that
kills
people
on
which
it
blows
.
And
that
in
the
time
of
Philip
of
Macedon
,
many
died
by
passing
between
two
Mountains
,
by
a
mineral
Air
stufft
with
vitious
and
sulphurious
Spirits
:
and
such
are
frequent
in
many
Caves
in
Hungaria
,
Sweden
,
and
even
among
our selves
where
there
are
Mines
.
Again
,
we
see
the
best
and
richest
Soil
,
yields
the
worst
Air
;
and
the
most
steril
Plats
,
Sandy
dry
grounds
,
afford
the
most
wholsome
Air.
So
on
the
Hilly
grounds
,
the
Air
is
more
cold
and
sharp
;
in
Vales
and
Bottoms
,
more
thick
,
foggy
and
misty
,
and
many
times
fraught
with
very
noisome
Vapours
.
Likewise
woodland
Vales
breed
most
gross
and
seculent
Air
:
as
Rivers
,
Ponds
,
Moats
,
and
marshey
grounds
,
make
the
Air
more
moist
,
thick
and
gross
.
For
although
Cato
commends
the
scituation
of
Houses
upon
Rivers
sides
,
as
also
Columella
near
to
a
City
,
in
rich
grounds
and
high-wayes
,
it
is
rather
for
profit
then
pleasure
,
wealth
then
health
.
Yet
the
Sea-side
and
Saltwater
Rivers
,
are
not
to
be
condemned
;
since
the
Air
is
by
its
Saltness
,
rather
purged
and
purified
from
its
grossness
and
corruption
.
Thus
have
I
given
you
briefly
in
this
Digression
,
a
survey
of
the
Airs
mutability
both
in
Substance
and
Quality
,
which
must
accordingly
affect
our
Humours
,
either
to
health
or
corruption
:
wherefore
,
this
shall
suffice
to
be
spoken
of
the
first
nonnatural
Cause
of
these
Vermin
,
viz.
Air.
Proceed

Of
Diet
,
Meat

Drink
,
how
a
Cause
.
THE
various
Causes
of
worms
,
are
innumerable
and
intricate
;
for
though
we
have
asserted
they
are
ingendred
in
our
Bodies
of
putrid
humours
,
joyned
with
heat
(
which
is
excited
by
the
Putrifaction
)
yet
it
is
not
so
apparent
how
that
Putrifaction
,
or
putrifying
heat
,
doth
produce
such
Creatures
,
or
how
they
assume
their
form
.
For
,
we
are
not
to
conceit
this
proceeds
meerly
from
putrifactions
,
and
concoction
meeting
therewith
,
or
heat
acting
on
the
putrid
humours
;
since
neither
of
these
can
of
themselves
bring
forth
a
more
noble
thing
then
themselves
;
but
,
as
is
most
rational
,
to
attribute
something
to
the
nature
of
the
matter
or
humour
it self
,
in
which
the
seed
of
the
production
is
,
or
somewhat
equivalent
thereunto
,
having
the
proximate
principle
and
peculiar
power
of
receiving
such
a
form
included
and
latent
in
it self
.
Whence
it
is
,
according
to
the
disposition
of
the
matter
and
humour
,
this
,
or
the
other
,
or
that
kind
of
worm
is
generated
;
it
is
therefore
requisite
we
consider
Diet
,
Meat
and
Drink
,
whence
those
humours
themselves
are
ingendred
.
SUBDIVISION
I.
Of
the
several
sorts
of
Food
,
Causes
.
HE
that
shall
consider
it
,
will
find
our
Food
to
have
much
more
power
to
alter
our
humours
,
if
it
offend
either
in
Quantity
or
Quality
,
then
the
Air
,
nay
,
and
change
our
Constitutions
;
it
having
a
marvellous
efficacy
in
generating
Diseases
,
yielding
the
very
matter
and
seeds
of
them
.
For
,
neither
the
Air
,
nor
the
Perturbations
of
the
mind
,
nor
any
of
those
nonnatural
Causes
,
take
place
or
work
this
effect
,
except
the
Constitution
of
the
Body
and
preparation
of
the
Humours
do
concurr
.
So
that
I
may
say
,
this
Diet
is
the
Mother
of
all
Diseases
,
let
the
Father
be
what
it
will
:
wherefore
it
is
most
requisite
,
we
have
an
especial
care
how
we
use
or
abuse
it
,
there
being
nothing
in
which
we
more
frequently
err
,
being
for
the
most
part
guided
rather
by
our
sensual
Appetites
,
then
Reason
,
verifying
that
old
true
saying
,
Plures
Corpula
,
quam
gladius
.
For
of
these
two
,
I
may
justly
say
,
as
the
Children
of
Israel
of
Saul
and
David
;
The
Sword
hath
slain
it's
Thousands
;
but
the
Board
,
those
devouring
Guts
of
ours
their
ten
thousands
:
wherefore
the
right
knowledge
of
this
Diatetick
part
of
Physick
is
not
only
most
excellent
,
but
most
necessary
.
The
various
Causes
of
worms
.
My
work
is
here
to
shew
you
what
kind
of
Food
breeds
either
a
Terrene
,
Emplastick
,
Slymie
or
Flegmatick
Juice
,
or
is
Pugnotick
,
or
Stegnotick
,
or
Emphractick
,
is
Septick
,
Iddiocratically
or
Symptomatically
,
or
soon
converted
into
putrifaction
is
dyspeptick
,
or
being
received
into
the
ventricle
,
Septifies
what
it
meets
with
there
;
and
the
like
,
sith
all
these
wayes
worms
are
by
them
ingendred
,
which
may
serve
for
a
general
Rule
.
And
that
I
may
be
the
more
plain
,
I
shall
prosecute
this
method
.
1.
To
speak
of
the
several
sorts
of
Plants
for
Food
.
2.
Of
Four-footed
Creatures
,
or
Beasts
:
3.
Of
Foul.
And
4.
and
lastly
,
of
Fishes
of
the
Sea
and
Fresh-water
;
under
which
,
all
kind
of
Food
is
comprehended
.
TITLE

Of
Plants

Causes
.
RIghtly
under
Plants
may
be
comprehended
1.
Bread-Corn
.
2.
Pulse
.
3.
Leaves
,
Herbs
and
Sprouts
.
4.
Roots
.
5.

1.
Under
Bread-Corn
,
again
is
comprehended
1.
Wheat
.
2.
Beer-Barly
,
a
Cousin-german
to
Wheat
.
3.
Rye
,
a
kind
of
wild
Wheat
4.
Barly
.
5.
Rice
.
6.
Panick
,
a
grain
used
more
in
Africa
then
with
us
.
7.
Millet
,
a
grain
also
used
in
the
Eastern
parts
of
the
World
,
8.
And
lastly
,
Frumentum
Saracenicum
(
as
Mathiolus
calls
it
,
but
why
,
no
one
knows
)
or
Buck-wheat
.
All
which
may
be
the
occasions
of
several
faeral
evils
,
especially
worms
:
Many
of
them
are
more
fit
for
Horses
,
Pigeons
,
Capons
and
Geese
then
men
;
as
Oats
,
(
the
chief
Food
of
the
Scots
and
Irish
)
and
Panick
;
others
are
very
unwholsome
,
hard
of
digestion
as
Barly
,
Rice
,
Millet
,
Panick
and
Buck-wheat
not
excluding
Rye
.
Most
of
them
being
but
Hologotrophick
,
and
affording
but
an
Emplastick
,
Slymie
Juice
,
as
Oats
;
wind
,
gripings
and
pains
of
the
Belly
,
as
Rye
,
as
well
as
Crudities
,
and
so
doth
Barly
;
as
also
obstructions
,
so
doth
Buck-wheat
:
Nay
,
and
Wheat
it self
,
though
accompted
the
best
Bread
,
if
it
be
unleavened
is
exceeding
unwholsome
,
and
no
less
a
Cause
then
any
of
the
Rest
.
It
is
good
for
no
one
sick
or
well
,
of
what
Age
,
Sex
,
or
Constitution
soever
,
being
heavy
,
gross
,
glutinous
,
hard
of
digestion
,
ingendring
abundance
of
Crudities
and
ill
Humours
,
which
occasion
worms
and
many
other
Diseases
,
if
it
's
emplastick
and
glutinuous
quality
be
not
corrected
by
Leven
.
And
therefore
all
Physitians
unanimously
condemn
it
,
accompting
it
sit
for
nothing
but
Cataplasms
.

Avicenna
adds
,
That
the
nourishment
proceeding
from
unlevened
Bread
,
is
very
offensive
to
the
Liver
,
obstructing
it
,
increasing
and
breeding
weaknesses
of
the
Spleen
,
and
ingendring
the
Stone
in
the
Reins
.
Likewise
,
if
it
be
hot
,
too
new
or
too
old
,
it
is
very
offensive
.
Hot
Bread
puffs
up
,
stopps
,
and
obstructs
the
Bowels
,
occasioning
Crudities
and
putrifaction
,
by
impediting
the
Chyles
free
passage
.
Old
Bread
on
the
other
side
,
dry
and
mouldy
,
renders
the
Body
Costive
,
shuts
up
the
Sink
of
the
Body
,
ingenders
melancholy
,
and
the
seeds
of
these
vermin
.
Wherefore
I
conclude
with
Schola
Salernitana
,
for
what
is
more
to
be
said
on
this
point
.
Panis

Callidus

Sed

Pulse
,
which
are
either
1.
Beans

2.
Pease
.
3.
Lentills
.
4.
Civers
,
which
are
more
fit
for
Physick
in
the
Stone
,
&c.
then
for
food
.
5.
Cichlings
,
seldome
or
never
used
among
us
.
6.
And
lastly
Tares
,
which
are
fitter
for
Pigeons
and
Hogs
,
then
men
.
For
they
all
breed
in
the
Bodies
of
such
as
eat
constantly
on
them
,
or
frequently
,
a
gross
Juice
,
black
and
thick
Blood
,
many
Crudities
,
much
wind
and
excrementious
humours
,
ingendring
worms
and
other
evils
;
nay
,
and
are
hard
of
digestion
,
cause
obstructions
,
and
send
up
many
pernitious
,
fuliginous
fumes
to
the
Brain
,
causing
melancholy
,
&c.
3.
Leaves
,
Herbs
and
Sprouts
are
no
less
a
Cause
,
rightly
considered
.
For
although
they
have
their
several
good
uses
in
Physick
;
yet
to
make
them
or
any
of
them
our
daily
food
,
is
most
unholsome
.
They
breed
Crudities
,
especially
worms
;
corrupt
the
Blood
,
yield
a
feculent
juice
,
cause
Melancholy
,
and
the
Scorbie
;
most
Physitians
therefore
,
disallow
of
them
:
and
although
Chrysippus
extolls
Cabbidge
for
an
wholsome
food
,
and
excellent
in
Physick
,
curing
most
,
if
not
all
Diseases
(
having
written
an
whole
Volum
in
the
Commendation
thereof
)
I
say
,
notwithstanding
his
large
Encomiums
(
and
what
others
maintain
,
that
the
Romans
six
hundred
years
together
(
after
they
had
banished
all
Physitians
)
preserved
themselves
found
in
health
by
Cabbidge
alone
)
it
is
the
worst
of
Plants
.
4.
Roots
are
altogether
as
bad
to
be
constantly
fed
on
,
or
worse
,
being
windy
,
crude
,
troublesome
to
the
Bowels
,
&c.
breeding
many
gross
,
crude
,
and
indigested
humours
,
and
fuliginous
fumes
;
especially
Garlick
,
Onions
and
Leeks
,
offending
the
Brain
,
and
causing
worms
.
And
indeed
,
Garlick
is
fitter
for
Physick
then
Food
,
which
the
Countrey-man
therefore
esteems
as
his
Mithridate
;
nay
he
preferrs
it
to
Aurum
Potabile
,
or
Hermes
his
Elixir
of
Life
,
S.
Devogius
his
Philosophers
Stone
,
Pontanus
his
Fire
,
Artethius
his
secret
Antimonial
,
his
Water
and
Vinagre
,
or
Quintessence
,
by
which
he
lived
a
thousand
years
;
as
Roger
Bacon
and
others
report
;
Riply
his
Toad
,
Agrippa
his
Soul
of
the
World
,
&c.
And
although
some
may
think
it
rather
a
Remedy
against
worms
,
then
a
Cause
,
it
being
usually
given
to
Children
for
that
very
end
,
boiled
in
milk
;
yet
being
eaten
inordinately
,
it
doth
not
only
breed
worms
in
the
Bowels
;
but
also
in
the
very
flesh
,
as
was
seen
in

Radishes
are
almost
as
bad
,
being
hard
of
digestion
,
breeding
but
bad
Blood
,
little
nourishment
,
and
are
more
offensive
to
the
Stomach
then
any
of
the
rest
,
causing
filthy
,
sharp
,
hard
evacuations
,
so
filling
the
Body
with
Crudities
,
wind
,
&c.
And
although
Turnips
be
accompted
by
some
an
wholsome
Root
,
yet
they
breed
but
a
thick
Juice
,
and
are
not
very
quick
of
digestion
neither
,
and
if
they
be
not
well
boiled
,
breed
many
Crudities
,
and
if
they
do
not
soon
digest
,
afford
but
a
melancholly
,
scorbutick
,
gross
,
putrid
blood
.
Navenes
also
,
though
bad
enough
;
yet
are
much
better
and
sweeter
,
and
more
nourishing
.
Some
have
allowed
of
Parsneps
and
Potatoes
as
less
crude
,
gross
and
wndy
,
then
the
rest
;
but
nourish
not
so
much
as
Turnips
,
if
we
may
believe

,
will
not

The
same
may
be
said
of

Scirits
,
the
best
of
the
three
.
Carrats
are
in
a
more
copious
degree
windy
,
then
either
Turnips
or
Parsneps
,
and
afford
a
less
nourishment
,
and
that
worse
;
breeding
a
gross
,
praved
,
fuliginous
,
juice
,
full
of
crude
humours
,
offending
the
whole
man
.
5.
Fruits
are
a
principal
Cause
of
these
vermin
;
and
they
are
either
such
as
proceed
from
Plants
,
or
from
Trees
;
either
,
or
both
of
which
eaten
in
any
large
quantity
to
satisfie
the
appetite
,
is
most
unwholsome
,
breeding
gross
,
praved
humours
,
a
malignant
Juice
corrupting
the
Blood
,
and
ingendring
Crudities
,
and
not
only
worms
,
but
in
a
manner
,
all
Diseases
:
For
they
yield
but
a
moist
,
thin
,
crude
,
unsound
nourishment
to
the
Body
at
the
best
;
whence
perhaps
,
[
](A57722-e37080-b)b
b
Lib.
De
rerum
varietatem
.
Cardan
puts
this
as
the
principal
Cause
,
why
the
people
of
that
great
City
of
Fessa
,
are
so
unsound
and
perpetually
Sick
,
because
they
eat
such
a
quantity
of
Fruit
,
as
thrice
a
day
constantly
;
for
if
they
corrupt
(
as
nothing
more
apt
)
in
the
Stomach
,
they
septifie
our
humours
,
and
poyson
the
whole
Body
.
Bruerinus
condemns
all
but
Grapes
and
Figgs
,
from
Galen
;
yet
Grapes
yield
none
of
the
most
laudable
Juices
,
and
are
Hologotrophick
,
ingender
wind
and
Loosnesses
,
and
if
they
stay
long
in
the
Body
,
cause
Crudities
,
in
that
they
soon
putrifie
,
and
fill
the
Liver
and
Stomach
with
these
praved
humours
,
whence
are
ingendred
these
vermin
.
Figgs
it
's
true
,
nourish
as
much
,
if
not
more
then
any
other
Fruit
;
yet
yield
none
of
the
best
nor
wholsomest
nourishment
neither
,
and
their
seeds
and
skins
nourish
not
at
all
,
neither
well
digest
;
wherefore
to
eat
them
in
any
large
quantity
is
not
so
safe
,
especially
for
such
as
are
molested
with
obstructions
of
the
Liver
,
have
depraved
humours
and
Constitutions
,
or
are
strucken
in
years
.
Paulus
Jovianus
tells
us
,
that

Galen
affirms
them
,
if
they
be
ripe
,
very
harmless
:
Yet
the
same
Galen

Enchymia
&
Cacochimia

another
place
confesses
,
if
they
continue
long
in
the
body
,
they
yield
but
a
bad
Juice
,
and
breed
Lice
;
for
the
truth
is
,
being
frequently
and
liberally
eaten
by
us
,
they
breed
a
very
bad
Blood
,
putrid
,
and
subject
to
corrupt
all
it
rancounters
with
;
whence
not
only
Lice
,
but
also
other
worms
are
produced
.
And
I

Athanaeus
records
of

this
sad
Story
,
That
he
was
eaten
up

,
by
his
frequent
feeding
on
this
Fruit
,
which
he
so
exceedingly
loved
;

Crato

For
,
if
we
should
examin
the
best
of
them
;
first
those
of
Plants
,
Strawberrys
,
Respas
,
Artichoaks
,
Cucumbers
,
Pumpions
,
Mellons
,
&c.
we
shall
find
them
not
worth
the
eating
:
Since
Strawberrys
,
which
are
accompted
by
all
,
the
harmlessest
Fruit
that
is
,
yields
but
a
thin
,
cold
Juice
,
and
soon
corrupts
in
the
Stomach
,
and
so
may
frequently
breed
worms
.
And
although

they
afford
but
a
praved
Juice
;
besides
,
they
are
hard
of
digestion
,
and
breed
not
so
good
a
nourishment
as
other
Herbs
;
whence
they
must
needs
breed
Crudities
,
as
also
worms
.
Cucumbers
are
much
more
an
unwholsome
Food
,
hard
of
digestion
,
yielding
but
a
gross
,
scorbutick
,
melancholy
Juice
,
also
sometimes
,
a
crude
and
flegmatick
matter
,
which
occasions
worms
,
and
being
distributed
to
the
Veins
,
causeth
the
matter
of
most
putrid
affections
.
Pompions
are
more
cold
and
moist
then
Cucumbers
,
and
therefore
more
unwholsome
;
for
they
yield
a
worse
Juice
,
and
more
apt
to
corrupt
,
vitious
and
purulent
,
whence
ariseth
a
most
malignant
humour
which
produceth
worms
.
Lastly
,
Mellons
are
more
cold
and
moist
then
Cucumbers
;
yet
more
hot
and
dry
then
Pompions
,
and
worse
then
Cucumbers
:
Yet
the
degrees
wherein
they
differ
in
Crudity
is
so
small
,
that
they
deserve
as
much
condemnation
as
the
worst
;
for
they
easily
corrupt
and
prove
extream
pernitious
,
and
bring
many
direful
evils
,
as
well
as
Worms
and
Scorbie
upon
us
,
as
may
abundantly
be
seen
in
Histories
.
Abertus
Secundus
the
Emperour
(
as
Caspianus
records
)
was
by
eating
part
of
a
Mellon
,
cast
into
a
deadly
Flux
.
Platina
also
tells
us
,
that
Paulus
Secundus
Pope
of
Rome
,
rhereby
became
Appoplectick
,
and
so
died
.
Likewise
Sophia
Queen
of
Coland
,
was
surprized
with
the
Palsie
(
as
Cronerus
witnesseth
)
by
feeding
too
liberally
on
them
.
Neither
are
Tree-Fruits
much
better
,
being
all
apt
to
corrupt
quickly
in
the
Stomach
,
especially
Peatches
,
Apricocks
,
all
sorts
of
Plumbs
(
though
the
Damsin
is
the
most
harmless
,
if
any
can
be
so
termed
)
Gooseberryes
,
Mulberryes
and
Cherries
,
all
which
yield
a
cold
,
waterish
crude
Juice
,
and
therefore
ought
not
to
be
eaten
at
all
,
especially
after
Meals
,
for
they
not
only
turn
to
corruption
upon
the
other
Food
,
but
likewise
indanger
the
corruption
of
the
whole
Repast
.
On
the
other
side
,
Medlers
,
Services
and
Quinces
,
and
whatever
are
stegnotick
,
notick
,
eaten
before
Meals
,
close
the
orifice
of
the
Stomach
,
and
hinders

Galen
himself
confesses
,
by
giving
Pratus
the
Rhetorition
order
to
eat
Quinces
before
Meat
,
he
had
almost
cost
him
his
Life
,
by
closing
up
the
Pilorous
,
or
lower
Orifice
of
the
Stomach
;
but
they
are
not
to
be
eaten
raw
as
Food
,
but
as
Marmalad
,
or
otherwise
preserved
;
wherefore
I
shall
speak
no
more
of
them
.
Medlers
and
Services
are
altogether
as
restringent
and
hard
of
digestion
,
eaten
in
wantonness
;
but
better
let
alone
.
Apples
and
Pears
are
of
divers
kinds
or
sorts
,
as
Apples
may
be
reduced
to
these
five
sorts
,
Sweet
,
Sower
,
or
unsavory
,
Watrish
,
or
a
mixture
,
or
more
of
these
.
Quorum

But
all
of
them
most
unwholsome
,
eaten
as
Food
,
or
in
too
great
a
quantity
;
causing
a
vitious
,
gross
,
corrupt
Juice
,
and
soon
putrifie
in
the
Stomach
,
especially
they
that
are
sweet
,
waterish
,
and
very
●ipe
.
Pears
are
of
as
many
sorts
,
every
Nation
,
Province
,
and
almost
Shire
,
affords
us
a
different
kind
,
but
for
the
most
part
,
are
either
Sacharine
,
Amoniacal
,
Aluminous
,
Vi●●iolate
,
or
Choaky
(
as
we
call
i●
)
or
●●●dous
,
and
although
the
three
last
are
worst
;
yet
none
are
encymick
,
nor
breed
a
good
Juice
,
but
offend
the
Stomach
;
are
dyspeptick
,
especially
the
Amoniacal
and
Vitriolate
,
so
that
eaten
raw
,
they
are
in
a
manner
,
no
better
then
poyson
,
especially
to
weak
and
infirm
bodies
.
Nuts
come
also
under
Fruits
of
Trees
,
but
I
think
none
so
mad
to
feed
much
upon
them
;
wherefore
I
shall
say
the
less
of
them
,
but
recommend
the
Wall-Nut
for
the
best
and
wholsomest
,
unless
it
be
eaten
old
,
and
then
as
well
as
Chesnuts
,
Small-Nuts
,
Philberts
and
Hasle
,
they
yield
a
feculent
,
immune
,
noxious
stegnotick
Juice
,
are
flatulent
and
empractick
,
and
may
several
wayes
septefie
,
and
consequently
prove
the
Introducers
of
worms
.
As
for
Cocarnuts
,
Pisticks
,
or
other
Nuts
,
growing
in
Syria
,
Egypt
,
and
the
Western
Islands
,
I
shall
not
speak
,
since
they
are
not
used
among
us
for
Food
;
only
advise
all
antient
men
to
avoid
medling
with
Pisticks
,
since
nothing
more
unseemly
,
then
to
see
an
old
Dotard
,
holding
his
Fescue
in
Venus
School
.
To
these
Fruits
growing
upon
Trees
,
we
may
here
add
Mushrooms
,
or
Toad-Stools
(
as
some
call
them
)
a
Food
more
to
be
shun'd
,
as
being
more
unwholsome
,
then
the
worst
that
have
been
yet
named
.
For
,
although
some
may
be
eaten
,
yet
there
are
other
some
rank
poyson

especially
those
grayish

The
truth
is
,
none
can
be
well
accompted
wholsome
,
the
best
being

a
bundle
of
putrifaction
,
arising
of
a

moist

viscous

of
the
Earth

on
which
they
grow
,
and
apt

frequent

TITLE
II.
Of
Beasts
of
the
Field
,
or
Foúrfooted
Animals
,
how
Causes
.
A
Second
sort
of
Food
is
from
Four-footed
Creatures
,
and
Beasts
of
the
Field
.
And
although
in
some
Sense
,
and
in
some
Cases
,
and
to
some
Bodies
,
all
manner
of
Beasts
for
Food
,
may
here
justly
be
ranked
up
and
condemned
,
as
apt
to
ingender
gross
,
melancholy
,
viscid
,
flegmatick
,
and
corrupt
humours
in
our
bodies
,
or
occasion
the
putrifaction
of
our
humours
,
whereby
either
worms
may
be
ingendred
,
or
the
seeds
of
them
accumulated
in
us
;
especially
since
they
may
proceed
from
all
,
and
every
humour
;
and
since
the
best
Constitution
upon
some
accidents
,
may
convert
the
best
nutriment
to
putrifaction
.
Yet
,
I
shall
only
content
my self
to
particularize
such
as
are
most
frequently
in
use
with
us
:
As
Beef
,
Veal
,
Mutton
,
Lamb
,
Goat
,
Kid
,
Venison
,
Hare
,
Rabbit
or
Cony
,
and
Swines-flesh
,
and
shew
how
they
may
be
causes
.
It
's
true
,
Plants
may
serve
for
Food
;
but
the
flesh
of
Beasts
is
much
more
agreeable
to
man's
nature
,
and
therefore
is
not
only
sooner
digested
,
but
converted
into
much
the
better
and
more
agreeable
nourishment
;
yet
,
notwithstanding
,
cannot
be
exempted
.
However
,
those
are
the
worst
that
nourish
but
little
;
are
of
temperature
cold
and
dry
,
or
cold
and
moist
,
are
apt
to
putrifie
,
are
hard
of
digestion
,
or
yield
an
evil
or
praved
suce
,
such
as
are
black
when
drest
,
of
a
watrish
taste
,
slymie
,
crude
,
and
unconcocted
by
Nature
,
or
are
thick
,
gross
,
and
not
easily
penitrated
,
viscous
,
terrene
,
heavy
,
salt
,
bitter
,
too
cold
,
or
too
hot
,
&c.
For
,
they
may
be
the
Causes
and
Introducers
of
these
worms
several
wayes
;
as
may
be
collected
from
what
hath
been
said
before
.
So
that
whatever
Meat
it
be
,
that
upon
examination
,
we
find
in
any
of
those
wayes
qualified
,
may
justly
fall
under
our
condemnation
in
this
place
.
1.
Beef
,
It
's
true
,
is
the
staid
and
beloved
Dish
of
an
English-man
,
and
no
contemptible
Meat
,
provided
it
be
of
an
Oxe
,
being
killed
young
(
or
the
new
flesh
of
a
fatted
old
Oxe
or
Cow
,
that
was
exeeding
poor
before
)
and
not
come
to
his
full
growth
,
a
little
corned
with
Salt
,
and
otherwise
well
ordered
and
dressed
.
Nay
,
I
may
affirm
it
,
as
harmless
and
innocent
to
our
bodies
,
as
any
food
whatsoever
,
and
as
nourishing
.
But
if
of
a
Cow
,
or
Bull
,
or
extreamly
salted
and
indurated
,
such
as
we
call
Martilmas
Beef
,
it
is
as
unwholsom
,
and
breeds
not
only
Crudities
,
whence
ensue
worms
;
but
also
scorbutick
humours
,
melancholy
,
and
innumerable
evils
,
obstructeth
the
Spleen
and
other
visera
,
is
hard
of
digestion
,
and
a
gross
Food
;
fit
only
for
strong
labouring
men
,
and
not
for
nicer
Stomachs
,
Students
,
&c.
or
such
as
lead
a
solitary
and
sedentary
Life
.

Veal
,
the
Sucklings
or
Weanlings
of
these
kind
of
Cattel
,
are
more
temperate
;
yet
,
if
eaten
very
young
,
are
full
of
moist
,
gross
,
impure
,
slymie
,
crude
,
and
putrid
humours
;
and
are
rather
to
be
accounted
congealed
humours
,
or
gelly
,
then
flesh
,
and
so
are
more
apt
to
ingender
the
seeds
of
all
sorts
of
these
vermin
,
then
afford
a
laudable
nourishment
to
the
body
.
3.
So
Swines-flesh
,
according
to
the
Age
and
Sex
,
differs
also
much
in
the
nature
and
temperature
.
As
,
if
it
be
very
young
,
sucking
,
and
such
as
we
commonly
call
Piggs
,
though
of
a
month
old
,
yet
soon
corrupts
in
the
Stomach
,
is
not
easie
of
digestion
,
especially
the
Coat
,
and
yields
none
of
the
best
nourishment
,
although
some
fondly
conceive
otherwise
,
it
being
a
vulgar
errour
,
that
Pigg
nourisheth
well
,
or
yields
a
good
nourishment
;
it
's
true
,
it
nourisheth
,
and
that
highly
,
but
it
is
so
bad
a
nourishment
,
as
it
may
well
be
termed
the
Mother
of
many
Mischiefs
.
For
a
sucking
Piggs
flesh
is
the
moistest
,
simply
,
of
all
other
,
ingendring
Crudities
,
Palsies
,
Agues
,
Gouts
,
Apoplexies
,
and
the
Stone
,
weakening
the
Memory
(
for
it
is
moist
of
the
third
Degree
)
procuring
fluxes
of
the
Belly
,
and
ingendring
most
viscous
,
flashy
,
and
corrupt
humours
:
Nay
,
it
is
a
dangerous
Food
,
breeding
a
flegmatick
,
slymie
,
gross
,
clammy
Juice
,
which
occasion
worms
;
much
more
unwholsome
must
they
be
,
but
of
eight
dayes
old
,
or
less
,
which
some
idle
Brains
,
and
praved
Fancies
so
much
covet
without
any
reason
,
imitating
those
Heathen
Romans
,
who
(
as
Plutarch
[
](A57722-e38650-b)r
r
Lib.

Es.

records
)
would
frequently
eat
them
cut
out
of
the
Sows

,
a
little
before
her
farrowing
,
and
bruising
them
a
while
in
their
menstruous
blood
(
as
I
may
call
it
,
being
equivalent
thereunto
)
Cannibal-like
,
eat
them
blood
and
all
;
the
younger
,
the
worse
.
For
,
how
is
it
possible
,
that
such
a
Brat
as
a
Pigg
,
proceeding
from
so
immund
a
Dam
as
a
Sow
(
whose
Belly
is
perpetually
Scurfie
,
Throat
full
of
kernelly
Imposthumes
,
oftentimes

the

,
and
whose

is

impure
,
that
it

such

with

,
Tetters
,
Leprosie
,

,
&c.
as

)
should
be
clean
or
wholesome
?
For
,
what
is
bred
in
the
Flesh
(
we
say
)
will
never

of
the
Bone.
4.
By
what
hath
been
said
,
the
flesh
of
a
Sow
,
may
plainly
appear
to
be
more
feculent
.
5.
The
Barrow-Hogg
,
which
is
the
best
of
Swines-flesh
;
yet
for
the
most
part
,
carries
signatures
of
mainginess
about
it
,
and
feeds
on
any
the
corruptest
or
vilest
Carrion
and
filth
it
can
meet
with
.
It
s
true
,
Swines-flesh
comes
the
nearest
to
Man's-flesh
in
taste
,
smell
,
and
look
,
and

maintains

it

the

Opilations

if
it

up

we

for
so
his

rather
to
be
termed
a

gross

then
fat

so

consequently

a

send
many

the

,
dull
the

,
accumulate
corruption
in
the

and
ingender

Yet
if
Bores-flesh
be
otherwise
eaten
,
as
only

it
is
the
worst
of
all
flesh
,
of
the

most
difficult
to

so
excrementitious

it

the

for

of
all

,
whence
ensue
not

the

Wherefore
I

one
sort

Beasts
,
which
the
Jews
refused
to
eat
;
and
although
under
the
Gospel
,
we
may
eat
of
them
,
yet
the
seldomer
and
more
sparingly
the
better
,
since
they
are
now
no

than
then
:
wherefore
it
may

Hypocrates

say
little
or
nothing
of
them
;
but
how
voluminous
,
Sennertus
passeth
them
over
in
silence
,
is
somewhat
strange
.
Neither
are
the
other
parts
of
Beasts
to
be
exempted
from
being
Causes
more
then
the
Muskly
flesh
of
them
,
which
we
have
briefly
run
over
;
and
they
may
be
comprehended
under
these
four
,
as
either
1.
Belonging
to
the
Head
,
or
upper
Region
.
2.
The
Brests
,
or
middle
Region
,
or
Thorax
.
3.
The
Abdomen
,
or
lower
Region
;
or
4.
and
Lastly
,
to
the
extreme
and
more
remote
parts
.
1.
Unto
the
Heads
,
belong
the
Brains
,
Eyes
,
Ears
,
Lips
,
Snouts
,
Cheeks
,
and
Tongue
:
Which
two
last
,
come
not
within
the
virge
of
Causes
,
but
by
accident
.
But
the
five
first
do
,
and
prove
very
pernitious
to
our
bodies
many
other
ways
.
As
1.
Brains
are
a
flegmatick
Meat
,
of
a
gross
Juice
,
hard
of
digestion
,
and
not
easily
distributed
,
heavy
and
offensive
to
the
Stomach
,
breeding
Crudities
,
which
not
only
cause
loathings
,
and
oftentimes
vomitings
,
but
also
these
vermin
.
And
oftentimes
are
very
hurtful
otherwayes
to
such
as
eat
them

nay
,
and
the
very
Nature

Dispositions
of

Creatures
,
may
,
by
eating
their

be
contracted
;

And
we
frequently
see
that
Sheep
and
Lambs
are
many
times
affected
with
the
Vertigo
.
Therefore
it
is
best
to
refrain
their
Brains
altogether
.
2.
Eyes
are
no
less
to
be
rejected
,
being
also
hard
of
digestion
,
yielding
abundance
of
praved
Juice
:
for
the
humours
whereof
they
are
composed
,
are
watry
,
the
skins
invironing
them
,
hard
and
dry
,
and
altogether
cold
and
crude
.
3.
Ears
also
,
by
reason
of
their
Cartilaginous
and
sinewy
nature
,
being
without
blood
,
are
more
flegmatick
and
viscous
,
hard
of
digestion
,
yielding
but
little
,
and
that
a
praved
nourishment
.
4.
Likewise
Snouts
and
Lips
,
being
so
sinewy
,
are
consequently
hard
of
digestion
,
cold
,
affording
but
a
bad
Juice
,
&c.
ingendring
worms
.
2.
In
the
Thorax
,
or
middle
Region
,
is
comprehended
the
Vitals
,
viz.
The
Heart
and
Lungs
(
or
as
the
vulgar
term
them
,
Lights
)
Hearts
are
of
a
fibrous
hard
substance
,
and
therefore
not
easily
concocted
nor
distributed
,
although
never
so
young
,
and
of
the
tenderest
sort
of
Creature
.
Lights
are
much
worse
,
yielding
but
a
frothy
,
flegmatick
Juice
,
apt
to
putrifie
in
the
Stomach
,
nay
,
they
are
oftentimes
very
unsound
,
and
infected
with
some
Disease
or
other
,
and
frequently
are
full
of
these
very
vermin
we
treat
of
.
3.
The
Abdomen
,
or
Lower
Region
,
comprehends
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Kidneys
,
Testicles
,
Matrix
,
Panches
,
or
Tryps
,
Intrals
,
or
Guts
,
Udder
,
and
Sweet-Breads
.
All
which
are
hard
,
gross
,
noxious
,
and
vitious
Food
,
especially
Spleens
or
Milts
,
being
more
fit
for
Doggs
then
men
.
And
Livers
are
little
better
,
being
of
a
most
gross
Juice
,
hardly
concocted
,
and
slowly
distributed
,
Naturam
enim
habet
concreti
sanguinis
;
whence
Crudities
and
worms
must
needs
be
ingendred
.
Kidneys
are
also
as
hard
of
digestion
,
gross
,
and
burthensome
to
the
Stomach
,
of
an
ill
Juice
,
and
so
becomes
a
Cause
.
Testicles
being
of
a
glandulous
nature
,
and
sometimes
better
;
yet
the
best
are
bad
enough
,
and
indeed
,
if
they
be
not
young
,
and
taken
before
Coition
,
or
before
the
Creature
be
capable
of
such
a
work
,
they
are
not
fit
to
be
eaten
.
And
the
youngest
,
tenderest
,
and
of
the
wholsomest
Creature
,
is
but
a
gross
,
fulsome
meat
,
and
hard

digestion
,
causing
Opilations
and
Crudities
;
wherefore
better
let
alone

Panches
or
Trypes
are
little
better
then
are
Guts
,
Intrals
,
or
Chitterlings
(
as
they
call
them
)
being
membranous
,
hard
of

,
yielding
little
or
no

,
and
that
none
of
the
best
,
a
cold

Juice
,
feculent
and
excrementitious
,
so
unwholsome
,
and
breeding
such
corruption
in
the
bodies
of
such
as
eat
frequently
of
them
,
as
they
not
only
are
the
Iutroducers
of
worms
;
but
of
the
Itch
,
Scab
,
Scorbie
,
and
Leprosie
oftentimes
.
Udders
and
Sweet-Breads
,
I
confess
,
being
the
nearest
to
the
nature
of
flesh
,
are
better
then
all
the
rest
,
yet
they
are
Kernelly
,
and
if
they
do
not
well
concoct

afford

as

Galen
well
observes

Sweet-breads
are
a
moist

and
Udders
a
crude
Aliment
.
Nay
,
Udders
are
but
a
gross
,
hard
,
fuliginous
food
;
and
therefore
may
justly
be
accompted
a
Cause
.
4.
And
Lastly
,
among
extream
and
remote
parts
,
we
may
rank
Fat
,
Marrow
,
Feet
,
Grisles
,
Sinews
,
and
Skins
.
All
which
being
unwholsome
and
excrementitious
,
gross
,
fuliginous
and
hard
of
digestion
,
must
needs
occasion
worms
.
For
Fat
nourishes
but
little
,
is
very
hard
of
digestion
,
glutting
the
Stomach
,
and
turns
rather
into
excrementitious
humours
then
good
nourishment
,
and
weakens
the
digestive
faculty
,
sends
many
fuliginous
vapours
to
the
Head
and
Brain
,
easily
degenerates
into
Choler
,
and
other
praved
humours
and
Crudities
,
sowing
the
seeds
of
all
manner
of
worms
;
wherefore
,
no
better
then
Poyson
to
melancholy
and
cholerick
people
.
The
like
may
be
said
of
Marrow
,
though
it
be
somewhat
less
offensive
then
Fat
;
as
the
Wether
carryes
away
the
Bell
from
all
other
Beasts
,
for
the
goodness
of
its
flesh
,
so
doth
it's
Marrow
deserve
to
be
put
in

front
,
and
next
unto
it
is
that
of
an
Oxes
,
then
a
Deers
,
and
next
a

fifthly
a
Kids

sixthly
a

and
lastly
a
Calfs
;
as
for
Swines
Marrow
,
it
is
fit
for
none
but
Boors
or
Hoggs
,
not
rational

.
They
are
all
fulsome
,
hard
of
digestion
,
and
soon
convert
into
Choler
,
and
other
gross

There

another

Spinalis

the

of

proceeding
from

passing
all
along
through
the
Spondils
of
the

down
to
the
Os
Sacrum
or
Coccyx
:
By
the
vulgar
,
termed
the
Pith
of

,
hard
of
digestion
also
,
heavy
and
gross
,
yet
not
so
loathsome
to

as
Brains

Feet

Sinnews

Grisly-parts

as
they
have
no

so
they
afford

little

that
cold

frigid

dry

the

being
hard
of

nor
duly
distributed
,
whereby
are
,
divers

,
many
Crudities
accumulated
,
and
these
virmin
consequently
ingendred
;
much
more
unwholsome
therefore
,
must
Cow

Oxe-Heels
be
,
and
all
old
Feet
and
Sinews
.
Skins
likewise
are
as
hard

harder

for
they
hardly
ever

are
less
nourishing

a

dry

all
that
comes
of

as

(
Whey

is

and
the
most
likely
producers
of
these
vermin
of
all
other
food
whatsoever
,
and
that
in
very
healthy
Constitutions
.
Milk
is
only
Blood
,
made
white
by
the
kernelly
substance
of
the
Breasts
,
Paps
,
or
Udders
of
Creatures
,
for
nourishing
up
the
Fruit
of
their
Womb.
Whence
it
is
of
as
various
a
nature
,
temperature
and
quality
,
as
the
Creatures
from
whence
it
proceeds
:
Yet
the
most
usually
used
among

,
is
Womens
,
Cows
,
Asses
,
Goats
and
Ews
Milk
;
though
in
other
parts
of

,
Camels
&

Milk
,
are
in
familiar
use
;
of
all
which
,
Womens
Milk
is
the
most
nourishing
and
best
,
it
being
most
near
and
agreeable
to
the
nature
of
Man
;
especially
if
it
be
not
corrupted
by
any
Disease
,
be
new
,
and
of
an
wholsome
Woman
,
sound
as
well
in
body
as
mind
,
it
must
needs
be
,
as
the
most
sutable
,
so
the
most
desirable
of
all
other
Milk
:
Yet
it
is
not
at
all
of
a
cleansing
nature
;
wherefore
,
most
fit
for
Children
and
antient
peple
,
Consumptive
,
&c.
And
because
it
is
more
subtil
,
of
a
more
penitrative
nature
,
more
cold
and
moist
,
and
easier
of
digestion
then
other
Creatures
milk
.
It
is
prescribed
by
Herodotes
,
Eurephontes
and
others
,
to
such
as
are
mad
,
by
the
bite
of
a
mad
Dog.
And
here
we
may
justly
admire
the
goodness
and
providence
of
GOD
,
in
providing
so
sweet
and
pleasing
a
white
food
,
out
of
blood
,
a
terrifying
colour
,
and
that
menstruous
blood
,
little
better
indeed
then
poyson
.
Wherefore
,
Milk
proceeding
of
Blood
,
and
we
having
not
yet
spoken
of
it
;
it
will
not
be
amiss
to
speak
a
word
of
it
.
It
is
bad
in
taste
,
but
worse
in
operation
,
stirring
up
Anger
and
Revenge
in
such
as
eat
it
,
as
Dion
reports
of
Caligula's
Cru●lty
,
which
could
neither
be
conveyed
to
him
from
Father
nor
Mother
,
but
from
his
Barbarous
Nurse
alone
,
who
,
when
he
suckt
her
,
alwayes
anointed
her
Paps
with
blood
:
Neither
doth
it
yield
much
,
or
good
nourishment
.
For
all
blood
is
hard
of
digostion
,
gross
,
suliginous
,
and
excrementitious
,
and
therefore
unfit
to
be
eaten
by
any
man
;
for
it
sends
not
only
many
cloads
and
vapours
to
the
Brain
;
but
causes
putrifaction
,
and
ingenders
these
verman
,
and
that
Hoggs-blood
it self
,
which
Galen
esteems
the
best

Heildisherin
doth
not
only
condemn
Blood
simply
;
but
all
that
is
made
of
it

compounded
therewith

seeming
to
allude
to

a

is
of
most
admirable
force
to
alter

the
natures

tells
us
of
a
fellow
,
that
by
drinking
the
Blood
of
a
red-hair'd
man
,
was
for
ever
after
foolish
.
But
examples
are
infinite
.
Those
Creatures
without
Horns
,
as
the
Ass
,
Mare
,
Camel
,
yield
a
Milk
more
fit
for
Physick
then
Food
,
being
more
thin
,
wheyish
,
and
cold
then
others
,
free
from
any
Acrimonyish
,
or

:
Yet
some
account
Asses
Milk
both
Physick
and
Food

equally
cleansing
,
as
nourishing
,
and
therefore
excellent
in
Consumptions
,
Rheumatisms
,
and
to
allay
sharp

,
there
being
no
better
natural
anodyne
then
Milk
;
nor
better

Avicenna
commends
Camels
Milk
,
for
its
sweetness
and
thinness
above
all
other
,
and
so
did
Galen
before
him
.
And
therefore
do
not
only
commend
it
in
the
same
Distempers
,
but
also
in
affections
of
the
Liver
,
and
to
resist
Dropsies
,
and
other
superfluities
and
defects
of
the
body
.
Mares
Milk
he
extolls
next
to
it

being

But
the
best
of
Horned
Beasts
for
Food
,
is
that
of
a
Cow
,
coming
nearest
to
the
nature
of
a
womans
,
of
which
Avicenna

](A57722-e41640-b)n

gives
this
reason
,
because
a
Cow
goes
as
long
with
Calf
,
as
a
Woman
does
with
Child
.
It
is
more
thick
and
fat
then
any
other
Milk
,
and
therefore
is
the
most
nourishing
.
Ews
Milk
is
more
thick
and
terrene
,
fuller
of
Curds
,
more
caseus
,
and
therefore
more
opilative
.
Goats
Milk
is
a
little
more
hot
,
more
thin
,
and
nourishing
less
,
passing
soon
through
the
Body
,
and
is
of
a
middle
nature
,
both
in
digesting
and
nourishing
,
and
every
thing
else
,
wherefore
fitter
for
Physick
,
then
Food
.
All
which
are
to
be
shun'd
by
young
and
strong
men
,
as
Avicenna
adviseth
;
for
in
such
it
breeds
Choler
,
Opilations
,
and
consequently
worms
:
And
[
](A57722-e41720-b)o
o
Lib.

.
Galen
disswades
all
from
Milk
,
that
have
unsound
Heads
and
Brains
;
or
are
any
wise
troubled
with
Hypochondriacal
passions
,
because
it
is
full
of
Vapours
,
and
turns
easily
to
Wind
,
is
obstructive
to
the
Liver
,
ingenders
the
Stone
increaseth
Agues
,
Rheums
,
and
fills
the
Bowels
with
many
Crudities
.
And
therefore
,
that
it
is
a
main
and
principal
Cause
of
worms
,
none
will
deny
,
and
that
in
the
best
,
and
most
unlikely
bodies
that
feed
much
on
it
;
especially
in
such
as
are
any
wise
distempered
,
weak
and
infirm
,
have
cold
Stomachs
,
which
makes
it
acide
,
or
very
hot
,
turning
into
Choler
,
adust
,
and
many
obstructions
by
it's
coagulating
.
And
in
such
as
eat
it
with
other
viands
,
or
immediately
after
,
or
before
,
whereby
it
is
coagulated
into
a
flood
of
Crudities
;
wherefore
,
to
prevent
Fermentation
,
and
its
coagulation
,
it
ought
to
be
eaten
only
fasting
,
and
on
a
clean
Stomach
,
or
with
Sugar
,
Salt
,
or
Honey
,
or
as
Isaac
Hollandus
,
Quersitanus
,
and
others
write
,
having
taken
ten
Pills
of
Wax
,
about
the
bigness
of
an
Hemp-seed
,
a
little
before
.
For
otherwise
,
the
best
Milk
may
sometimes
prove
very
pernitious
.
How
much
more
,
if
the
Beast
yielding
the
Milk
,
be
not
sound
,
and
in
health
,
or
be
impregnated
;
for
so
it
must
needs
be
unwholsome
,
thin
,
wheyish
and
crude
;
so
likewise
if
it
be
old
,
or
the
beast
fed
upon
young
tender
Grass
,
the
Milk
will
be
watrish
and
unwholsome
;
if
on
Grains
,
windy
and
feculent
;
if
on
Scamony
,
or
other
Cathartick
,
or
pernitious
Herbs
,
the
Milk
will
be
accordingly
affected
;
wherefore
the
Diet
of
the
Nurse
is
very
considerable
:
For
Beasts
,
Hay
,
and
the
tender
Grass
at
the
later
end
of
the
Spring
,
is
the
best
Food
to
afford
a
thick
,
and
fat
good
Milk
,
&c.
Honey
(
to
omit
that
which
is
found
upon
Herbs
and

,
called

,
distilled
from

by
the
power

and
since
,
several

from

have
put
as
a
sort
of
Honey
;
Likewise
Manna
and
its
sorts
,
abundantly
treated

that
famous
and
learned

Antonius

Neapolitan
,

hath

is
a
kind
of
Quintessence
of
many
,
if
not
most
Herbs
;
Hermetically
extracted
,
by
that
excellent
Spagerist
the
Bee
;
that
being
the
best
which
is
made
,
where
they
feed
upon
Thime
,
&
other
Herbs
of
an
hot
and
dry
nature
;
the
yellower
it
is
,
the
better
it
is
,
and
more
intense
,
that
is
reddish
.
It
soon
converts
into
Choler
,
therefore
bad
for
strong
and
Justy
people
,
fit
for
none
but
antient
people
and
Children
,
and
to
them
neither
,
not
to
be
admitted
via
Cibi
,
for
all
Honey
breeds
but
a
very
thin
Juice
,
Crudities
and
Wind
in
the
Bowels
,
Flegm
and
much
Spittle
,
and
therefore
must
needs
breed
these
vermin
.
And
thus
much
shall
serve
to
be
spoken
of
Causes
from
the
second
sort
of
Food
.

For

And
indeed

all

corrupt

,
especially
such
as
are
of
Sea-fowl

and
of
all
unclean
Birds

being
little
better

none
therefore
ought
to
be
eaten
,
but
such
as
come
from
the
wholsomest
and
best

Birds
,
especially
Hens
:
For
,
since
Eggs
are
a
kind
of
Quintessence
of
Flesh
,
or
a
Liquid
Flesh
:
and
so
,
if
they
digest
well
,
yield
a
most
excellent
Juice
,
of
little

no

,
no

feculent

highly
restorative

yet
if
they

boiled

eaten
alone

nothing

for
being
mixt
with
other
Food
,
or
eaten
immediately
before

or
after

or
meeting
with
an
impure
Stomach
,
they
soon
corrupt
(
I
say
)
and
putrifie
in
the
Stomach
,
and
breed
many
faeral
evils
,
as
will

if

if

May

here
put
River

since
they
are
only
transplanted
into

for
the
more

of
having
them

,
and
these
are
also
some
Scal'd

some

For

have
a
kind
of

;
so
that
if
they
be
not
right

sound
,
they
ingender
the
seeds
of
all

Wherefore

not

,
did
Plutarch

,
It
impossible
for
that

be
sound
and

,
in

there
came
more
Fish
then
Oxen.
For
they
are
a
slymie

And

easily
putrifying
and
converting
into
gross
humours
,
little
better
then
poison
.
They
are
not
altogether
so
bad
that
live
in
Fresh-water
Rivers
;
yet
if
there
be
not
a
strong
Current
,
and
the
bottome
gravelly
,
stony
,
or
chalky
,
running
Eastward
,
or
exposed
to
Eastern
and
Northern
winds
,
they
are
but
little
better
:
Especially
such
Rivers
as
lie
before
,
or
near
great
Cities
,
because
they
feed
chiefly
on
Dung
and
Garbidge
,
Salt-Mud
,
&c.
And
so
they
become
more
gluttinous
,
slymie
and
unsavory
.
Such
as
are
in
Rivulets
,
small
Brooks
,
and
Currents
,
and
impure
Waters
,
differ
not
much
from
such
as
are
in
Lakes
.
And
although
they
that
live
in
the
Seas
,
especially
the
deepest
,
northern-most
,
and
most
stormy
,
be
the
best
;
being
tumbled
,
tossed
,
and
exercised
,
whereby
they
are
rendred
less
flegmatick
,
and
more
firm
;
yet
to
feed
much
on
them
,
or
the
best
among
them
,
as
Smelts
,
the
Sea
Larks
;
Whitings
,
the
Sea
Capon
;
Plaise
,
the
Sea
Sparrow
;
Soles
,
the
Sea
Partridge
;
Rochets
,
the
Sea
Feldfairs
;
Gurnad
(
which
are
a
little
bigger
,
and
not
so
red
)
the
Sea
Plover
;
to
which
we
may
add
Guilt-heads
,
the
Sea
Gold-Finch
;
being
in
shape
much
like
a
Gurnad
,
but
not
so
easie
of
digestion
,
or
so
wholsome
.
I
say
,
to
feed
much
on
them
,
or
others
,
is
not
good
;
for
they
fill
the
bodies
of
such
,
with
abundance
of
humours
and
corruptions
.
And
I
have
observed
the
Scots
and
Irish
,
that
feed
frequently
on
Fish
,
to
be
exceedingly
molested
with
worms
.
And

gives
this
Reason
why
Carthusian
Fryers
are
more
dull
and
melancholy
,
then
any
other
Order
,
because
they
live
wholly
upon
Fish
.
How
much
more
such
as
are
Thunys
,
of
which
our
Train-Oyl
is
often
made
,
Pilchers
,
Red
or
Bloted
Herrings
,
all
dryed
fish
,
as
Stock-fish
made
of
Cod
,
&
Poor
John
of
Haddock
,
&c.
Therefore
,
they
must
be
very
poor
in
Reason
and
Understanding
,
and
no
better
then
Stocks
,
that
eat
them
in
any
great
quantity
.
And
although
some
praise
the
Cod
,
preferring
their
Palates
before
the
health
of
their
Bodies
,
they
way
well
be
termed
Cods-heads
,
for
it
it
is
but
a
slymie
and
flegmatick
Fish
,
having
whilst
it
is
new
,
a
more
loose
and
watrish
flesh
then
is
requisite
to
make
it
wholsome
;
and
although
it
be
not
very
hard
of
digestion
,
yet
affords
no
laudable
nourishment
.
It
is
better
therefore
salted
,
which
we
call
Green-fiish
.
The
same
may
be
said
of
Haberdine
,
being
a
kind
of
Island-Cod
:
As
also
of
Hadocks
,
which
are
but
small
Cods
.
[
](A57722-e46390-b)*
*
not
that
they
are
of
the
same
kind
,
but
much
like
them
in
colour
and
taste
,
and
therefore
may
be
so
termed
.
Many
extoll
a
Conger
,
the
Sea
Eele
,
meerly
because
it
pleaseth
their
Palates
,
never
considering
,
that

it

eaten

,
it
ingenders

and
the
Chollick
,
if
hot
,
it
corrupts

,
and

Leprosies
,
as
well
as

Others
esteem
a

a

The
same
may
be
said
of
Scale
,
only
they
are
sweeter
and
tenderer
then
Thornback
.
and
although
the
Turbet
was
preferred
to
all
Fish
;
whence
the
Proverb
,
Nihil
ad
Rombum
;
yet
this
is
nothing
to
the
purpose
,
for
Magnius
(
as
well
as
I
)
condemns
it
as
excrementitious
,
and
breeding
melancholy
,
and
the
Scorbie
,
as
well
as
worms
.
They
that
can
eat
Ling
,
may
was
well
eat
a
worse
thing
,
and
drink
Piss
,
for
it
cannot
be
eaten
without
Sawce
(
nor
hardly
any
Fish
)
besides
;
it
burthens
the
Stomach
,
offends
the
Brain
,
accumulates
many
ill
humours
,
being
very
excrementitious
;
&
therefore
the
King
[
](A57722-e46610-b)r
r
James
the
first
of
England
and
sixth
of
Scotland
.
might
well
account
it
a
Dish
for
the
Devil
.
Neither
are
Maids
much
better
,
though
some
think
they
nourish
Weaklings
,
and
such
as
have
sported
themselves
off
their
Legs
,
which
is
contrary
to
their
Nature
.
And
the
Band
,
Mackarel
,
(
for
so
it
signifies
in
French
)
is
worse
,
being
of
a
gross
gluttinous
,
and
suffocating
substance
,
causing
Drowsiness
,
stupifying
the
Senses
and
Nerves
,
exciting
Lethargies
,
Palsies
,
Epilepsies
,
Catalepsies
,
Apoplexies
,
Vertigoes
,
Opilations
,
&c.
as
well
as

.
Sturgion
for
it's
firmness
and
substantialness
,
is
called
the
Beef
of
the
Sea
,
and
highly
extolled
by
some
fantastical
Pallats
;
but
unless
it
be
very
young
,
is
very
hard
of
digestion
,
yielding
a
gross
,
thick
Juice
,
breeding
melancholy
,
and
many
Crudities
,
ingendring
Gouts
,
Deflections
,
and
other
Distempers
,
as
well
as
worms
.
And
Bream
,
though
a
firm
and
a
white
flesh
,
and
not
hard
of
digestion
;
yet
soon
corrupts
in
the
Stomach
;
some
have
likened
it
to
a
Carp
,
but
if
it
be
of
the
Sea
,
it
far
exceeds
a
Carp
,
both
in
whiteness
,
flatness
,
and
goodness
.
Also
Shadds
,
though
tender
,
and
pleasant
to
the
taste
;
breed
but
an
excrementitious
Juice
,
and
nourish
not
much
,
therefore
the
danger
of
eating
them
(
being
so
full
of

)
should
cause
us
to
look
on
them
as
not

Sprats
again
,
are
worse
then
they
,
being
very
apt
to
corrupt
in
the
Stomach
,
as
well
as
Herrings
,
and
so
are
exceeding
apt
to
breed
,
besides
worms
,
Feavers
and
the
Scorbie
also
.
Neither
are
those
foolish
Dishes
made
of
Fish
and
their
Roes
,
as
Anchoves
,
Cavialies
and
Botargo
,
any
better
.
Anchoves
so
called
when
they
are
prepared
,
are
only
a
sort
of
Fish
called
Minos
,
taken
in
Sardinia
and
Provence
,
in
great
multitudes
,
and
there
pickled
,
and
sent
afterwards
to
us
for
Qualkechoses
;
we
have
naturally
in
England
,
a
love
to
Exorticks
;
however
,
they
are
not
to
be
eaten
via
cibi
,
but
as
Sawce
,
for
they
ingender
not
only
worms
,
but
also
Choler
,
Melancholy
,
the
Scorby
,
and
yield
a
very
bad
Juice
,
offending
the
Brain
,
Stomach
and
Senses
.
Caviale
also
,
is
a
fond
Dish
of
the
Italians
,
made
of
the
Roes
of
Sturgion
,
and
altogether
as
unwholsome
,
if
not
much
worse
;
invented
by
idle
Brains
,
and
fansied
by
none
but
such
as
are
ignorant
what
it
is
;
wherefore
I
would
have
them
consider
the
Italian
Proverb
,
Chi
mangia
di
Caviale
,
Mangia
moschi
,
Merdi
,
&
Sale.
Which
may
be
Englished
thus
,
He
that
eats
Cavialies
,
Eats
Salt
,
Dung
and
Flies
.
For
it
is
only
(
as
was
said
)
the
Roes
of
Sturgion
powdred
,
pickled
,
and
finely
denominated
Caviale
,
to
be
a
Bait
for
such
Woodcocks
and
Dotrils
,
that
account
every
Exotick
Fansie
a
real
good
.
And
so
Botargo
,
another
whimsical
Dish
of
the
Italians
,
made
of
the
Roes
or
Eggs
of
Mullets
,
together
with
their
Blood
,
and
some
Salt
,
is
very
unwholsome
,
breeding
not
only
worms
;
but
sterillity
in
both
men
and
women
that
eat
much
of
it
,
and
impotencie
in
the
acts
of
Venus
:
therefore
a
Dish
more
fit
for
the
Devil
,
then
fair
Ladies
.
So
that
if
they
would
be
rul'd
by
me
,
those
slovenly
Italians
,
should
not
only
invent
Dishes
,
but
eat
them
too
,
when
they
have
done
:
which
would
make
them
more
solid
,
and
us
less
dirided
.
If
any
fish
be
good
,
then
it
must
be
the
Testaseous
;
yet
of
them
,
we
may
absolutely
condemn
,
and
explode
the
Periwinkle
,
Cockle
,
Musle
,
as
dangerous
food
,
offending
the
Brain
,
are
hard
of
digestion
,
afford
an
ill
Juice
,
being
Aguish
,
hot
and
Feaverish
,
offend
the
Stomach
,
Liver
and
Head
,
especially
Muscles
;
and
ingendring
many
feral
evils
besides
this
.
And
if
we
may
give
credit
to
Alexander
Benedictus
,
some
by
eating
too
many
Cocles
,
have
become
natural
fools
.
And
truly
the
best
of
them
,
unless
it
be
the
Oyster
,
are
hard
of
digestion
,
especially
Scallops
,
Crabs
,
and
Lobsters
,
besides
the
Cream
in
their
bodies
;
so
that
if
they
meet
not
with
good
Stomachs
,
pure
,
healthy
,
and
that
digest
them
well
,
they
soon
corrupt
,
and
ingender
worms
no
less
then
any
other
Fish
;
nay
,
the
very
Oyster
it self
(
which
is
the
softest
flesh
of
all
shell'd
fish
,
the
best
,
easiest
of
digestion
,
and
soonest
past
through
the
body
;
for
their
watrish-liquor
doth
subducere
alvum
)
especially
if
you
tak
not
out
the
blood
.
Much
more
unwholsome
must
needs
fresh-water-fish
be
,
especially
Mullets
,
Barbles
,
Tench
,
Eeles
,
and
Lampries
,
being
a
slymie
,
moist
,
flashy
,
viscous
,
and
crude
food
,
and
very
offensive
to
such
as
are
affected
with
the
Gout
,
or
any
distemper
of
the
sinews
(
especially
Lampries
,
though
extolled
by
some
for
their
taste
)
are
inclining
to
worms
:
Nay
,
the
best
of
them
,
Pearch
,
Pike
,
Salmon
,
Carp
,
Cud-Bream
,
Roches
,
Gudgions
,
Trouts
,
Flownd●rs
,
Minos
▪
and
Millers-Thumbs
,
do
plentifully
breed
worms
,
and
many
other
Diseases
in
such
as
feed
too
frequently
on
them
,
being
soon
apt
to
corrupt
in
the
stomach
,
and
yield
no
very
good
nourishment
to
the
body
,
and
the
Pearch
it self
,
which
is
the
best
(
especially
when
prickled
on
the
Back
)
and
therefore
by
some
called
the
River-Partridge
,
notwithstanding

nourisheth
but
slenderly

we
may
believe
one
of

And

so

it
really

flownders

Minos

Gudgeons
,
Millers-Thumbs
,
and
Pike
,
be
admitted
to
such
who
are
sick
,
and
in
Feavers
;
yet
they
that
would
live
in
health
,
must
eat
but
seldome
of
them
:
much
more
if
they
be
taken
out
of
muddy
and
immund
waters
.
Roches
are
worse
,
and
so
are
Trouts
,
especially
the
Gray-Trouts
,
the
Red
come
somewhat
near
a
Salmon
,
and
therefore
called
Salmon-Trouts
;
yet
both
they
and
Salmon
,
however
they
may
please
some
Palats

afford
no
very

Bruerinus
thinks

ingenders
Melancholy
,
especially
if
it
be
salted
,
filling
the
body
with
many
praved
humours
,
and
grievous
Diseases
;
and
Carp
is
but
a
slymie
,
watrish
and
muddy
food
,
ingendring
an
excrementitious
Juice
;
therefore
they
are
not
worth
the
eating
,
if
they
be
not
taken
out
of
very
pure
and
clean
water
.
Mullets
and
Barbles
,
which
some
take
to
be
only
Mullets
bearded
,
are
much
worse
.
Roches
are
little
better
,
but
a
Tench
worst
of
all
,
being
slymie
,
muddy
,
viscous
,
and
of
an
hard
flesh
,
tending
to
blackness
;
whence
perhaps
it
was
,
that
Alexander
Benedictus
said
,
it
breeds
a
most
unwholsome
and
damnable
nourishment
:
and
a
secret
poyson
,
as
Antonius
Gezius
contends
,
affirming
a
fryed
Tench
to
be
no
better
.
And
indeed
,
the
manner
of
Dressing
,
may
much
alter
the
Fish
;
as
Athenaeus
[
](A57722-e47710-b)x

records
of
Diocles
,
who
being
demanded
which
was
the
best
,
a
Pike
or
a
Conger
,
answered
,
a
Pike
boiled
,
and
a
Conger
broiled
.
Some
in
general
conclude
,
boiled
Fish
best
,
next
roasted
or
broiled
,
and
lastly
fryed
.
But
that
is
to
humour
their
Palates
;
but
look
how
flashy
and
flymie
one
Fish
is
more
then
other
,
and
that
kind
of
Fish
ought
to
be
rather
roasted
,
broiled
or
fryed
,
then
boiled
,
to
correct
it's
viscous
nature
:
Wherefore
I
do
conclude
,
that
all
salt
and
obdurate
Fish
,
is
more
exerementitious
then
fresh
;
and
consequently
more
apt
to
ingender
worms
.
And
those
that
are
fresh
,
are
no
wise
fit
to
be
constantly
fed
on
,
although
the
best
sort
of
Fish
,
taken
in
the
best
Waters
,
nourished
with
the
the
purest
Herbs
or
Food
,
and
Cooked
with
the
best
Artifice
;
for
all
this
shall
never
make
them
afford
a
sound
,
wholsome
,
firm
and
temperate
Juice
,
or
ingender
good
blood
:
Yielding
at
the
best
,
but
a
cold
,
moist
,
crude
,
excrementitious
Suce
and
Chyle
.

Whence
we
may
perceive
,
that
not
only
our
Spirits
and
Humours
,
by
which
we
are
preserved
;
but
also
,
our
whole
Constitutions

AMong
the

there
was
no

Sauce
known
,
or
at
least
used
,
save
Hunger
and
Salt
:
Hunger
they
call'd
the
Night
of
Sauses
,
and
Salt
the
Light
,
intimating
,
that
as
in
the
Night
all
Colours
are
alike
;
so
nothing
comes
amiss
,
or
is
unsavory
to
an
hungry
Stomach
;
and
as
by
the
Light
,
we
distinguish
of
Colours
,
so
Salt
sheweth
the
variety
and
excellency
of
all
Tasts
.
And
truly
,
this
simplicity
of
their
Diet
,
might
be
one
cause
,
if
not
the
chiefest
,
why
they
lived
so
long

,
by

much
Spices

But
such
like
Instances
are
frequent
.
I
must
needs
say
,
for
any
reason
I
can
yet
see
,
they
are
altogether
useless
or
needless
,
both
for
the
sound
,
and
unsound
:
For
,
Nature
requireth
not
food
,
but
when
hunger
excites
thereunto
,
and
then
is
satisfied
with
a
little
;
but
these
Sauses
and
compounded
Meats
stir
up
the
Appetite
,
and
cause
both
the
firm
,
and
infirm
,
to
eat
more
then
Nature
requires
,
or
can
well
digest
:
whence
in
weak
bodies
,
ensue
many
Crudities
,
occasioning
innumerable
weaknesses
,
as
well
as
worms
,
and
frequently
Death
it self
:
And
in
strong
and
sound
bodies
,
if
they
do
sometimes
throughly
digest
what
they
have
needlesly
and
superfluously
eaten
,
yet
in

,
they
shall
not
only
be
fraught
with
worms
,

also
many
corrupt

causing
oother
Infirmities

As

MUch

over-little
taking

,
then
by
the
careless

unadvised
choice
of
the
Substance

Quality
of

;
For
,
it
is
a
mortal
evil
,
and
as
bad
as
poyson
,
when
men
shall
still
throw
on
more
and
more
upon

,
when
what
they

received
,
is
not
well
di●ested
;
thereby
destroying

murthering
themselves
,
and
all
to
please
that
Omni-vorantia
&
homicida
gula
,
that
all-devouring
Gut
of
theirs
:
For
,
as
one
well
exclaims
,
Pernitiosa

,
An
insatiable
Panch
is
a
pernitious
Sink
,
and
the
Fountain
of
all

,
both
of
Body

Soul.
It
subverts
and
perverts
the
good

of
the

,
stifles
the
Senses
and
Wits
,
strangles
Nature
,
being
not
able
to
digest
the
meat
throughly
,
whence
ensue
Crudities
,
and
the
ground
and
seeds
of
many
Diseases
,
as
pains
of
the
Belly
,
Belchings
,
Loathings
,
Vomitings
,
Opilations
of
the
Liver
,
putrid
Feavers
,
dullness

,
loss
of
Memory
,
a
general
obstruction
of
the
Reason
,
Judgement
,
and
the

Bradiopepsia
,
Cacochimia

Opilations
in
several
parts

Decreppidness

for
it
is
the
fountain
(
as
I
said
before
)
of
all
Diseases
,
arising
out
of
the
repugnancie
of
gross
humours
corrupting
:
whence
also
worms
,
sudden
Death
,
and
indeed
,
what
not
?
For
,
as
a
little
fire
is
extinguished
by
too
much
Wood
thrown
upon
it
;
so
is
our
natural
heat
,
into
immoderate
eating
,
suffocated
in
our
bodies
;
or
as
a
Lamp
that
is
choak't
with
a
superabundance
of
Oyle
;
for
if
it
digests
what
we
thus
eat
excessively
,
our
bodies
are
filled
with
many
Plethorick
affections
,
the
root
of
all
manner
of
Infirmities
,
as
well
as
this
;
If
it
do
not
digest
,
then
follow
many
Crudities
,
Cacochimia
,
and
various
bad
nourishments
.
Thus
we
exactly
verifie
that
saying
,
Plures
Crapula
quam

.
And
by
too
much
eating
,
men
dig
their
graves
with
their
Teeth
,
and

And
so
on
the
other
side
,
if
we
eat
and
drink
too
sprringly
,
and
not
so
much
as
nature
requires

The

,

Causes
.
IT
will
not
be
amiss
here
to
add
a
word
also
touching
the
Time
and
Order
of
Eating
,
since
if
we
elect
the
best
Meats
,
and
most
agreeable
to
our
bodies
,
feed
soberly
and
sparingly
on
them
,
and
yet
observe
not
fit
Times
and
convenient
Seasons
,
we
shall
as
much
prejudice
our
health
by
erring
i●
this
one
Circumstance
,
as
if
we
had
erred
in
both
the
other
.
He
that
observeth
not
Time
in
this
particular
,
is
unseasonable
;
the
Heart
of
the
wise
ma●
therefore
,
will
observe
Time
;
For
〈◊〉
Meat
given
opportunely
,
is
the
best
Physick
that
is
.
So
that
if
we
break
our
Custome●
and
fast
too
long
,
our
stomachs
will
b●
thereby
filled
with
abundance
of
prave●
humours
,
which
will
not
only
ingende●
worms
,
but
divers
other
evils
;
fo●
empty
veins
draw
deepest
,
and
wh●●
they
first
receive
,
good
or
bad
,
that
the●
mix
with
the
blood
.
Choler
also
is
o●tentimes
increased
in
the
Belly
by
fas●ing
long
,
and
the
excrements
rendre●
sharp
and
corroding
.
On
the
othe●
side
,
to
eat
too
soon
,
before
the
stomac●
be
unburthened
of
the
former
Repas●
or
have
throughly
digested
and
distr●buted
it
,
breeds
not
only
many
Opilations
and
Crudities
,
which
occasio●
worms
;
but
divers
other
Diseases
.
Thu●
we
see
every
day
,
that
this

an●
greediness
of

food
or
other
upon
what
is
yet
in
thei●
stomachs
undigested
,
is
a
main
Cause
o●
●heir
being
most
frequently
troubled
with
●orms
:
especially
the
food
they
so
irregularly
gormundize
,
be
apt
soon
to
cor●upt
,
or
be
inclined
to
ingender
worms
.
Wherefore
,
nothing
worse
then
to
●at
out
of
order
,
of
variety
of
Meats
,
●nd
protract
the
time
of
eating
longer
●hen
is
requisite
,
it
being
the
Fountain
,
●ot
only
of
worms
,
but
of
all
Diseases
;

an
innumerable
company
of
Crudi●ies
and
vitious

,
Gout
,
Stone

,
Wind-Cholick
,
Cancers
,
Feavers
,
and
such
●ike
feral
Diseases
,
nay
,
and
Death
it
●elf
.
For
variety
of
Meats
excites
a
●resh
appetite
,
whence
ensues
Gluttony
;
●hus
the
stomach
being
cramm'd
full
of
●everal
Meats
,
some
light
,
some
heavy
,
●ome
good
,
some
bad
,
&c.
Some
sooner

then

,
some
corrupting

others
be
half
concocted
,
must

Ingender
abundance
of
Crudities
,
worms
,
and
subvert
our
healths
.
Nay
,
variety
of
Dishes
,
though
all
good
,
wholsome
,
and
easie
of
digestion
,
breed
great
disturbance
,
and
much
confusion
in
our
stomachs
.
Besides
,
protracting
of
time
in
eating
,
hinders
concoction
,
by
keeping
the
mouth
of
the

Hiant
,
and
thus
throwing
fresh
fuel
on

,
many
Crudities

are

Thus
,
many

So
Cardan
out
of
Galen
advi●es
,
by
all
means
,
That
we
keep
our
Cu●●oms
although
they
be
bad
:
For
Nature
re●oyces
in
such
things
as
it
is
wonted
to
,
but
●bhorrs
such
unto
which
it
hath
not
been
●sed
;
whence
we
see
,
a
bad
Diet
,
conduceth
more
to
health
,
then
any
sudden
al●eration
to
a
better
.
And
that
men
●etter
bear
those
meats
to
which
they
●re
accustomed
,
although
by
nature
,
they
are
nought
.
For
it
is
not
only
a
Second
Nature
,
but
is
of
force
even
to
●lter
Nature
it self
;
whence
bad
meats
become
wholsome
to
such
as
are
●sed
to
them
,
and
unseasonable
times
,
cause
no
disorder
.
If
not
so
,
that
old
saying
Qui
medicè
vivit
,
miserè
vivit
,
would
be
one
of
the
greatest
truths
in
the
world
.
In
Westphalia
,
as
Lipsius
notes
,
people
eat
for
the
most
part
,
nothing
but
Cabbidge
or
Colworts
in
Fat
,
which
they
call
Cerebrum
Jovis
;
In
Italy
and
Spain
they
live
upon
Roots
and
Fruits
most
part
,
and
Raw
Herbs
;
in
Holland
,
Roots
,
Fish
,
Butter
,
Cheese
,
and
such
like
trash
.
In
Muscovy
,
their
chie●
fare
is
Garlick
,
Onions
,
&c.
which
would
kill
us
that
are
not
accustomed
to
such
fiery
meats
.
The
Tartars
eat
for
the
most
part
,
raw
flesh
,
and
commonly
Horse
flesh
,
and
frequently
on
the
Road
their
bait
is
a
Pudding
made
with
Mea●
by
letting
their
Horse
blood
,
which
they
stir
together
,
and
eat
heartily
;
and
yet
if
we
may
believe
Scaliger
,
they
are
a
sound
,
witty
,
nay
and
healthy
people
,
living
ordinarily

likewise
tells
us
of
some
Nations
that
used
no
other
food
then
Fish
.
And
in
another
place
,
he
sayes
of
the
Ichthyophago
,
a
people
in
Ethiopia
,
that
they
not
only
feed
themselves
,
but
their
cattel
also
with
Fish
.
But
what
need
we
go
so
far
to
evince
this
truth
,
we
in
England
as
liberally
feed
on
flesh
,
and
exceed
in
all
luxury
,
eat
more
flesh
at
a
great
Dinner
,
then
they
do
in
all
Spain
in
a
quarter
of
a
year
;
and
yet
they
and
wee
continuing
our
Customes
,
are
well
contented
,
and
in
health
.
A
Pipe
of
Tobacco
being
chew●ed
by
one
unaccustomed
to
it
,
shall
cause
giddiness
,
vomitings
,
and
much
illness
;
and
yet
I
knew
one
or
two
in
London
,
that
would
eat
a
pound
,
chewing
all
day
long
,
and
never
find
the
least
alteration
.
You
have
heard
what
hath
been
said
before
of
Beef
;
and
yet
among
us
it
is
esteemed
The
King
of
all
Meats
;
for
Custome
and
continual
use
hath
so
habituated
our
Bodies
thereunto
,
that
it
doth
not
in
the
least
prejudice
them
.
And
so
nothing
more
condemned
,
then
Unleavened-Bread
;
and
yet
there
is
scarce
any
other
Bread
eaten
,
even
among
our
daintiest
,
and
sickliest
people
.
In
like
maner
,
touching
the
Quantity
,
Time
,
and
Order
of
eating
;
how
few
are
there
living
,
that
regard
how
much
they
eat
,
what
,
where
,
or
when
,
in
what
manner
,
which
first
,
or
which
last
,
mixing
at
every
meal
,
Flesh
,
Fish
,
Roots
,
Fruits
,
and
all
together
,
not
regarding
the
nature
of
the
one
,
or
other
,
which
they
begin
,
or
which
they
make
an
end
with
,
nor
any
other
Rule
;
and
yet
for
all
this
,
the
variety
,
and
mixtures
,
and
disorders
,
work
no
disorder
,
but
agree
in
them
,
through
their
constant
Custome
;
as
Mithridates
his
poyson
did
with
him
.
And
we
see
Husband-men
,
Labourers
&
such
as
are
brought
up
to
such
orders
,
or
rather
disorders
,
can
eat
any
thing
,
in
any
measure
,
and
sleep
,
go
to
bed
,
or
work
upon
a
full
stomach
,
and
observe
no
rule
,
and
yet
be
healthy
,
which
to
some
people
,
would
be
present
death
.
So
that
Custome
is
all
in
all
.
Therefore
,
if
it
be
suddenly
altered
,
although
it
be
never
so
bad
,
there
follows
much
inconveniency
,
and
the
more
contrary
the
change
is
,
the
more
dangerous
.
Delight
and
Appetite
do
not
a
little
mitigate
also
;
for
ardent
desire
to
such
and
such
meats
,
although
they
be
unwholsome
,
bad
,
and
pernitious
in
their
own
nature
;
yet
at
such
a
time
the
stomach
willingly
receives
,
retains
,
and
readily
digests
them
;
and
on
the
other
side
,
abhors
such
as
we
distaste
,
although
never
so
wholsome
and
good
.

Fernelius
tells
us
of
a
man
,
who
having
a
long
time
had
a
longing
to
eat
Calx
vive
,
did
at
length
,
devour
as
much
as
the

of

,
without
any
hurt
at
all
to
his

.

at

at

without

and
which
he
most

at
(
as

he

yet
felt
not
the
least
sense
of
heat
in

.
Nicholas
also
reports
,
he
saw
a
man
of
about
fifty
years
of
age
,
who
eat
so
much
Tartar
as
was
incredible
.
And
he
knew
another
(

that
vehemently
coveted
the
eating
of

Victorinus

who
would
draw

And
a
Knights
Daughter
,
an
Associate
of

,
eat
above
half
the
Shagg
off
of
the
Rugg
of

Bed
,
and
many
Woollen
Clothes
;
which
was
never
discovered
,
till
one
day
by
chance
,
meeting
with
a
Stocking
,
which
one
of
the
Tenants
had
brought
home
for
one
of
the
Servants
,
and
devouring
it
,
not
being
washt
from
the
Oyle
that
was
in

,
grew
thereupon
sick
,
and
vomiting
it
up
again
,
confessed
she
had
eaten
her
Rugg
,
and
divers
other
woollen
things
about
the
House
;
but
examples
of
this
kind
are
infinite
.
On
the
other
side
,
if
the
stomach
distasts
,
or
hath
a
prejudice
against
any
meat
,
although
in
it self
,
never
so
wholsome
and
good
,
it
doth
not
only
not
agree
therewith
,
but
also
mightily
offend
by
a
secret
antipathy
;
and
which
is
most
strange
,
they
are
prejudiced
at
one
part
,
and
yet
can
eat
any
other
;
as
there
was
a
Gentleman
in
Darby-shire
,
[
](A57722-e48950-b)l
l
Sir
George
Greasly
of
Darklow

who
only
by
eating
a
little
of
a
Shoulder
of
Mutton
,
which
he
had
an
antipathy
against
,
was
cast
into
such
a
Feaver
,
as
it
had
almost
cost
him
his
life
,
yet
there
was
very
little
mixt
with
a
hasht
,
or
other
minz'd
meat
;
who
notwithstanding
,
could
eat
any
other
part
of
Mutton
.
Lastly
,
Necessity
,
which
we

will
break
through

;
and
therefore
,
will
more

Causes
of

,

them
more
tollerable

But
such

live
in

,
lead
a
solitary
and
sedentary
life
,
ought
to
take
their
choice
,
and
refrain
what
is
likely
to
corrupt
their
humours
,
as
they
tender
their
healths
:
But
if
they
will
not
,

go
on

intemperatly

let

thank
themselves

SUBDIVISION
II.
Of
the
several
sorts
of
Drink
,
Causes
.
DRink
is
that
non-natural
thing
which
restoreth
that
moist
substance
of
man's
body
,
allaying
thirst
,
causing
the
mixture
,
concoction
,
and
distribution
of
the
Aliment
,
as
also
suppressing
and
allaying
hot
vapours
,
inflammations
,
and
chollerick
affections
.
And
indeed
,
such
is
the
necessity
of
Drink
,
that
we
can
live
no
less
without
it
,
then
Meat
,
our
bodies
constantly
requiring
a
supply
of
both
,
being
in
a
continual
flux
or
reflux
:
Wherefore
it
will
be
no
wonder
,
it
unwhosome
Drink
,
offending
in
Quality
;
or
more
wholsome
,
taken
in
too
great
,
or
too
little
a
Quantity
,
at
unseasonable
times
,
&c.
cause
innumerable
direfull
Diseases
in
our
bodies
,
besides
worms
.
Since
that
is
most
true
,
Cibus
atque
Potus
quoniam
permanentem
ac
inhaerescentem
corpora
materiam
suppeditant
,
validius
contumatiusque

,
&
morbos
pariunt
.
For
as
is
our
nourishment
,
so
are
our
humours
;
and
as
our
humours
,
so
are
our
solid
parts
.
Of
Drinks
there
are
divers
kinds
,
As

.

.

;
which
being

will
be

TITLE

Water
,
how
a
Cause
.
EVery
one
knows
there
are
divers
sorts
of
[
](A57722-e49160-b)†
†
Which
hath
the
largest
proportion
of
the
Spirit
of
the
World
in
it
,
of
any
Element
.
In
which
S.
is
contained
☉
♀
and
☿
a
Radical
Substance
,
a
vivisying
Fire
,
and
Radical
Moisture
,
whence
all
things
are
produced
out
of
the
Water
.
The
Sperm
and
Menstruum
of
the
World.
The
Sperm
because
it
includes
the
Seed
of
every
thing
.
The
Me●struum
,
because
the
Sperm
of
Nature
is
putrified
in
it
,
increased
and
nourished
.
Whence
the
predominancy
of
either
of
those
three
,
occasion
various
productions
.
Water
,
;
As
1.
Rain-water
.
2.
Snow-water
.
3.
Spring-water
.
4.
River-water
.
5.
Well-water

6.
Standing-water
in
Lakes
and
Ponds
,
which
are
all
unwholsome
Drink
,
Cold
,
Flegmatick
and
Crude
;
for
all
Water
it
windy
,
hardly
digested
,
and
not
without
great
difficulty
distributed
;
and
is
naturally
cold
and
moist
,
wherefore
it
ought
to
be
sparingly
,
and
advisedly
drank
;
for
the
evils
of
Water
depend
on
its
frigidity
;
So
that
if
it
be
frequently
and
abundantly
drank
,
it
hurts
the
Bowels
,
Head
and
Brain
especially
,
and
causes
worms
;
being
apt
to
corrupt
in
the
stomach
,
it
converts
into
wind
,
whereby
the
tone
,
as
also
the
strength
of
the
stomach
,
is
resolved
,
and
concoction
weakned
;
for
it
over-rules
the
stomach
,
and
occasions
innumerable
Crudities
.
Nay
,
Rain-water
it self
,
which
although
it
be
the
purest
and
lightest
,
exhaled
by
the

yet

For

so
very
Homogenial

as
nothing
more

yet
is
it
extreamly

by

the

the
incipid

out

noxious
in

is
either
for
Food

o●
Physick
:
As
such
as
pass
through
any
Niter

Sulphur
,
or
Mercurial
Substance
,
or
any
Mine
,
are
to
be
used
rather
as
Physick
;
and
according
to
the
nature
of
the
Mine
or
Mineral
,
so
will
the
water
be
.
Such
as
are
free
from
these
,
are
used
in
Meats
,
and
instead
of

of
a

sometimes
,
still
partaking
of
the
nature

for
accordingly
,
must
their

be
affected
that

it
,
and
consequently
,
their
spirits
and

;
for
the
filthyness
and
malignant

of

,
convey
the

malignity

whence

of

from
the
feculencie

Galen

condemns
such

an
unctious
Ceruse
,
which
causeth
Dysenteries
,

other

of

,
as
well
as

.
Such
as
proceed
out
of
a
Rock
,
if
it
lie
towards
the
North

is
also
bad
,
and
Hypocrates
[

affirms
,
such
as
pass
over
Stones
to
be
hard
;
and
they
are
worse
which
are
in
Dales
,
sheltred
and
obscured
from
the
heat
of
the
Sun
,
being
thereby
rendred
more
gross
and
terrene
;
and
so
ingender
gross
,
terrene
,
and
muddy
humours
.
River-water
is
worse
,
being
composed
or
mixt
with
all
other
Waters
,
Spring
,
Rain
,
and
Snow
,
descending
from
the
Hills
and
Land
;
So
that
according
to
it's
various
mixtures
,
and
the
nature
of
the
several
Earths
through
which
.
Rivers
pass
,
are
their
Waters
divers
,
and
so
much
the
worse
,
by
how
much
the
more
they
are
mixt
;
especially
such
as
are
near
great

,
being
the
recepticles
of
all
impurities

Sinks

Jakes

So
that
such

must
needs
fill
the

such

them

with
abundance
of
malignant
humours
,
as
well
as
putrid

ingendring

offending
the
Head

molesting

and
in

word
,
affecting
the
whole
man
,
and
laying
the
foundation
of
all
Diseases
.
Well-water
is
yet
worse
than
any
of
the
former
;
since
it
is

Hops
with

others
,
other
Ingredients
,
multiplying
the
sorts
almost
ad
infinitum
:
But
are
all
commonly
reduced
to
these
two
kinds
,
Beer
and
Ale
,
and
that
either
strong
,
or
small
,
as
it
is
composed
of
more
or
less
Corn
;
and
these
are
the
chief
and
most
common
Drinks
of
the
Northern
people
of
the
World
,
who
,
through
the
coldness
of
their
Region
abounds
not
with
Vines
.
So
that
,
the
property
of
these
sorts
of
Drinks
,
must
needs
be
various
;
some
moistning
and
nourishing
more
,
others
less
;
some
being
more
hot
,
others
more
cool
,
as
they
have
more
or
less
of
Wheat
,
or
Barly
in
them
;
some
binding
,
some
loosening

some
more
abstersive
,
others
more
opilating
;
some
diuretick
;
some
ingendring
Wind
;
some
Crudities
,
or
rather
all
;
of
which
in
particular
,
it
is
an
easie
matter
to
judge
,
if
their
composition
be
once
known
,
having
but
recourse
to
the
nature
of
their
several
Ingredients
of
Corn
,
which
you
have
heard
before
examined
,
and
most
condemned
,
as
main
causes
,
and
therefore
Beer
and
Ale
cannot
be
exempt
;
especially
if
they
be
New
;
for
then
they
are
obstructive
,
very
noxious
to
such
as
are
molested
with
the
Cholick
or
Stone
,
are
hard
of
digestion
and
distribution
,
stay
long
in
the
body
,
and
fill
it
with
many
crude
humours
,
and
gross
nourishment
,
whence
ensue
these
vermin
;
and
besides
,
sends
up
many
fuliginous
vapors

Head
and
Brain
,
and
many
times
obstruct
the
passages
of
the

therein

occasioning
many
direful
evils

that

is
accounted
no

,
a

a

when
as

then
the
sturdiest
Drunkard
of
them
all
:
Nay
,
they
are
so
addicted
to
this
Vice
,
that
they
daily
invent
new
Drinks
,
and
salt
Bits
to
cause
their
Liquor
to
relish
and
go
down
the
better
;
so
that
if
they
study
at
all
,
it
is
to
satiate
their
ungodly
bellies
;
if
they
are
witty
in
any
thing
,
it
is
ad
gulám
,
to
please
their
Palate

Crime
)
if
we
run
not

of

Thus

(

beasts
in

of

)
often
times
carelesly
,
(
though
too
often
wilfully

Wherefore
,
as
Solon
said
of
Meat
,
I
may
well
affirm
of
Drink
,
That
it
is
the
divinest
good
thing
not
to
drink
at
all
,
and
the
next
unto
that
,
and
most
natural
,
to
drink
as
sparingly
as
may
be
.
I
wish
that
saying
of
Anacharsis
might
be
their
Rule
,
That
the
first
draught
was
to
quench
thirst
,
the
second
to
nourish
the
body
,
and
the
third
for
pleasure
,
but
the
fourth
he
thought
(
as
all
wise
men
)
was
of
madness
.
Whence
Pithagoras
the
Philosopher
,
would
never
drink
Wine
,
because
he
said
,
The
Vine
brought
forth
three
sorts
of
Grapes
,
whereof
the
first
quench
thirst
,
th'
second
troubleth
,
and
the
third
altogether
dulleth
and
offendeth
.
And
Alphonsus
King
of
Aragon
and
Sicilia
,
being
one
day
demanded
by
one
of
his
Nobles
,
why
he
did
always
refuse
Wine
;
answered
,
Because
Wisdome
is
hindred
through
Wine
,
and
Prudence
darkned
;
which
two
things
are
alone
able
t●
make
a
King
worthy
of

name
he

As
if

lest
they
drink

forget
the
Law

and
pervert
the
Judgement

Likewise
Cyrus
,
the
Monarch
of
th●
Persians
,
being
askt
(
when
he
was
〈◊〉
Youth
)
by
his
Grand-father
Astyage●
why
he
would
drink
no
Wine
,
returned
this
Answer
,
For
fear
lest
I
be
poysoned
;
for
I
observed
yesterday
,
when
y●●
celebrated
the
Day
of
your
Nativity
;
th●
it
could
not
be
,
but
that
some
body
had
mi●●
poyson
among
all
that
Wine
which
ye
th●
drank
;
because
in
the
closure
of
your
Fea●●
not
one
of
your
Guests
was
in
his
right
mind
.
Now
I
would
but
ask
the
sturdiest
Drunkard
of
them
all
,
whether
it
be
not
better
to
follow
these
good
examples
,
then
that
of
Lot
,
who
lay
with
his
two
Daughters
;
or
that
of
Herod
,
that
slew
John
the
Baptist
;
or
that
of
Alexander
the
Great
,
who
in
a
Drunken
Fit
,
slew
Clitus
,
one
of
the
valiantest
Captains
he
had
;
&
in
another
such
humour
,
commanded
Aspastes
,
one
of
his
Provincial
Governours
to
be
put
to
death
,
being
in
his
Cups
,
and
yet
Clitus
had
formerly
saved
his
life
;
or
that
of
Cyrillus
,
who
in
a
drunken
humour
,
killed
his
Mother
great
with
Child
,
as
also
his
Father
,
hurt
both
his
Sisters
,
and
ravish'd
one
of
them
;
or
that
of
a
mad
Fellow
,
in
the
time
of
our
uncivil
Wars
at
Salisbury
,
who
being
drunk
,
in
a
Bravado
,
drank
an
health
to
the
Devil
,
saying
,
that
if
he
did
not
come
and
pledge
him
,
he
would
not
believe
there
was
either
a
Devil
or
a
GOD
,
his
Associates
trembling
at
his
expressions
,
retired
all
into
another
Room
,
and
left
him
,
and
never
saw
him
more
;
for
immediately
the
Devil
came
and
carryed
him
away
,
as
it
is
thought
out
of
the
Window
,
the
Bar
thereof
being
bowed
;
but
that
is
certain
,
he
never
was
heard
of
after
.
Thus
you
see
,
such
as
are
in
Drink
,
are
prone
to
all
Vices
,
it
being
the
Root
and
Inlet
of
all
manner
of
Sins
.
As
the
Spaniards
report
of
one
in
Drink
,
that
kild
his
Father
,
and
ravish't
his
Mother
;
and
therefore
,
they
accounting
it
worse
then
either
Murther
or
Incest
,
will
give
their
Children
Money
to
go
to
a
Bawdy-house
,
rather
than
to
a
Tavern
.
On
the
other
extream
,
to
Drink
too
little
,
or
less
then
nature
requires
,
is
as
bad
,
if
not
worse
for
the
health
of
the
body
;
for
thereby
Nature
is
starv'd

Concoction

as

.
Time
of
Drinking
,
a
Cause
.
EVery
particular
almost
,
that
I
said
concerning
the
unseasonableness
of
Eating
,
may
be
averted
,
and
is
verified
in
Drinking
:
For
if
the
Drink
be
never
so
wholsome
and
good
,
and
taken
but
moderately
;
yet
,
if
at
unfitting
times
,
causeth
no
small
number
of
,
nor
petty
Diseases
;
besides
,
it
is
so
far
from
quenching
of
thirst
,
that
contrariwise
,
it
augmenteth
thirst
.
Now
Drink
may
be
unseasonably
taken
several
wayes
;
as
first
,
in
a
morning
fasting
,
which
our
Drunkards
and
good-fellows
(
or
rather
lewd-fellows
)
call
a
mornings-draught
,
eating
nothing
at
all
therewith
:
for
the
sinews
are
thereby
hurt
,
the
Head
and
Brain
,
and
many
Crudities
accumulated
,
the
whole
man
rendred
heavy
and
dull
,
and
the
stronger
the
Drink
or
Wine
,
the
worse
.
Secondly
,
between
Meals
,
when
thirst
compelleth
not
,
not
nature
requireth
it
,
especially
,
before
the
meat
be
throughly
concocted
;
for
throwing
on
fresh
Drinks
frequently
,
and
in
great
quantities
,
must
needs
,
not
only
keep
the
mouth
of
the
Stomach
Hiant
,
but
impead
the
Concoction
of
the
Stomach
,
which
is
then
about
it's
office
;
even
as
we
see
a
spoonfull
of
water
thrown
into
a
great
pot
boiling
,
shall
hinder
and
stop
it
;
whence
many
Crudities
and
most
Diseases
,
as
well
as
worms
.
Thirdly
,
immediately
upon
Bathing
,
Sweating
,
or
any
other
hard
or
violent
exercise
,
which
warms
the
Blood
,
stirrs
the
Humours
,
and
opens
the
Pores
;
especially
Water
or
small
Drink
,
which
serve
rather
to
expell
and
extinguish
natural
heat
,
when
rather
Canary
,
and
such
comfortable
Drinks
,
are
then
to
corroborate
Nature
,
comfort
and
strengthen
the
Spirits
,
and
gently
awake
the
ambient
and
expelled
heat
from
the
remote
,
to
the
internal
parts
.
And
lastly
,
Drinking
Bedwards
,
and
late
at
night
,
is
also
extreamly
pernitious
,
ingendring
many
Indigestions
,
Distillations
,
Catarrhs
,
Consumptions
,
and
many
feral
evils
,
besides
worms
.

The

make

Water

Molosses

Honey

some
Roots

they
close
up
altogether
in
a
large
Jar
,
close
stopt
for
three
weeks
or
a
months
time
,
and
that
is
their
most
delicious
Drink
for
their
choisest
friends
;
and
it
agrees
as
well
with
them
,
as
Canary
with
us
,
through
their
constant
custome
;
when

,
the

know
a

,
that
never

any

yet
is
in

And
for

And
so

no

to
them

nay
,
their

is
such

they
are
sick

they
do
not
thus
continue
;
for
they
are
no
more

therefore
would
all
soon
be

It

,
and
fills

with

.
And
that
Sleep
may
well
be
accounted
immoderate
,
which
is
beyond
the
concoction
of
the
meat
,
or
after
the
Aliment
is
digested
;
for
it

Long
and
tedious
sleeps
,
ingender
many
flegmatick
humours
subject
to
putrifie
in
the
Veins
,
especially
in
the
Brain
;
it
resolves
also
,
refrigerates
and
stupifies
the
Nerves
,
dulls
the
Spirits
and
Senses
,
causeth
Defluxions
and
Catarrhs
,
and
extinguisheth
natural
heat
,
and
the
radical
moisture
:
For
by
sleep
,
the
natural
heat
is
drawn
to
the
internal
parts
,
where
if
it
find
no
food
to
work
upon
,
being
its
office
to
digest
,
it
destroys
and
consumes
the
profitable
humidity
of
the
more
solid
parts
,
and
so
consequently
,
must
needs
dry
up
and
extenuate
the
body
.
Again
,
Sleep
used
unseasonably
,
or
at
unfitting
times
,
is
likewise
very
bad
and
dangerous
in
some
cases
:
As

2.
After
the
taking
of

if
it
be

,
causes
many
inconveniencies
,
by
corrupting
the
Blood
and
Humours
.

an
empty

,
refrigerates
and
attenuates
the
moisture
of
the
body
.
4.
After
eating
immediately
,
or
within
two
hours
,
fills
the
head
and
Brain
with
many
vapours
,
whence
ensue
Defluxions
and
Rheums
,
as
also
many
Crudities
through
want
of
a
due
concoction
in
the
stomach
,
whence
worms

In

,
hinders
concoction
both
in
the
Stomach

Liver
,
increaseth
the
Spleen
,
debilitateth
the
Nerves
,
corrupts
the
Memory
,
and
is
a
main
cause
;
besides
it
weakens
the
Appetite
,
ingenders
Feavers
,
and
oftentimes
Impostumes
.
However
,
we
must
also
here
allow
something
to
Custome
,
which
in
this
,
doth
also
as
well
as
in
Meat

,
a
little
mitigate
.
Lastly
,
to
sleep

such
mens

with

,
and
their
Brains
with
moisture
,
paleness
and
wanness
over
all
the
body
,
and
corrupting
their
humours
:
For
when
the
Body
is
asleep
,
and
all
the
Senses

thereof
at

DIVISION
IV.
Retention
and
evacuation
of
Ordure
a
Cause
.
YOU
must
know
,
Retention
and
Evacuation
,
is
as
notable
a
non-natural
cause
,
not
only
of
worms
,
but
also
of
many
other
Diseases
,
as
any
whatsoever
.
For
since
for
the
nourishing
and
restoring
of
our
bodies
and
strength
,
we
have
daily
need
of
food
,
and
since
in
the
digesting
of
that
Aliment
,
it
is
seldome
all
converted
into
pure
nourishment
,
of
necessity
there
must
remain
a
faeces
,
or
an
excrementitious
useless
part
,
the
retention
of
which
beyond
the
time
requisite
,
must
cause
Diseases
,
and
especially
this
.
Untimely
and
intemperate
evacuations
,
on
the
other
side
are
worse
;
for
thereby
the
profitable
nourishments
are
therewith
ejected
,
and
the
whole
body
rendred
thus
debil
and
consumptive
,
it
must
needs
be
,
that
worms
must
follow
,
as
well
as
several
other
direful
distempers
.
Now
as
there
are
divers
concoctions
in
the
body
;
as
in
the
Stomach
,
Liver
,
Heart
,
Brain
,
and
other
Members
;
so
are
there
divers
excrements
therein
generated
;
whence
there
follows
divers
evacuations
and
retentions
:
Of
which
,
some
are
simply
necessary
,
as
faeces
of
the
bowels
,
and
Urin
;
others
not
so
simply
necessary
,
but
at
some
times
:
As
Choler
,
Melancholy
,
Flegm
,
Menstrues
,
Hemroids
,
Bleeding
,
Purging
,
Bathing
,
Wind
,
Sweat
,
fuliginous
Fumes
or
Atom-like
Effluviums
,
Teers
,
Scurf
on
the
Skin
,
Snot
,
Spittle
,
Sperm
(
if
it
may
be
properly
termed
an
[
](A57722-e52170-b)†
†
Exploded
in
my
book
of
the
Soul
,
an
Extraduce
.
excrement
)
all
which
,
being
seasonably
,
moderately
,
and
in
a
due
measure
evacuated
,
conduce
much
to
the
conservation
of
life
and
health
;
but
if
not
,
cause
many
incurable
Diseases
,
like
unto
themselves
;
as
is
vulgarly
known
,
besides
worms
.
I
shall
give
therefore
a
hint
to
the
chiefest
of
them
,
and
omit
the
rest
;
for
worms
are
not
only
ingendred
by
the
over-long
retention
of
the
Ordure
,
causing
a
slagnation
and
putrifaction
of
the
excrements
,
&c.
but
also
the
Head
is
especially
therby
affected
with
Inflamations
,
pains
,
dulness
,
&c.
It
molests
also
the
other
parts
,
ingenders
wind
,
pains
of
the
Cholick
,
hinders
concoction
by
putrid
vapors
,
whence
also
worms
,
and
many
other
evils
;
as
it
fills
the
veins
,
and
obstructs
the
passages
of
the
body
,
a
chief
cause
of
the
Apoplexie
,
an
enemy
to
Nature
,
and
occasioner
of
sudden
Death
.
Too
frequent
evacuation
you
have
heard
,
is
little
better
;
for
the
Intralls
are
not
only
thereby
prest
,
grypt
,
and
forc't
beyond
their
due
;
but
also
extreamly
weakned
,
and
all
evacuation
before
a
due
concoction
,
whether
of
it self
,
or
by
Physick
,
is
very
pernitious
;
for
they
are
superfluous
,
and
all
superfluous
evacuations
,
secundum
plurimum
,
ingender
putrid
Feavers
and
worms
.
Retention
also
of
Urin
,
is
no
less
a
cause
,
but
of
many
other
Infirmities
also
,
and
death
it self
,
so
extending
the
Bladder
&
Uritary
passages
with
the
neighbouring
parts
,
that
it
cannot
sometimes
compress
it self
;
and
thus
in
four
dayes
time
,
I
remember
this
present
Earl
of
Lautherdale's
Father
died
about
the
end
of
1644.
or
beginning
of
1645.
It
causeth
also
the
Strangury
,
Ischury
,
Dysurie
,
and
many
other
Maladies
,
according
to
the
nature
of
the
retention
;
for
if
the
serious
humidity
be
not
by
the
Reins
drawn
thereunto
,
it
remains
mixt
with
the
blood
,
where
corrupting
,
causeth
worms
,
and
being
an
excrement
of
the
Liver
,
and
by
this
suppression
,
distributed
into
all
the
parts
of
the
body
,
there
follows
also
Cachexia
,
Hydropical
affections
,
and
the
like
.
Excessive
evacuations
of
Urin
,
doth
likwise
cause
grievous
Maladies
;
for
thereby
the
moist
parts
of
the
body
are
consumed
,
and
in
time
the
more
solid
;
for
it
weakens
concoction
,
and
occasions
not
only
worms
,
but
also
Consumptions
,
Diabetes
,
and
wastes
both
body
and
mind
,
nay
,
and
the
very
brain
it self
.

fell
first
into
the
yellow
Jaundies
,
and
then
into
the
Dysentery
,
by
the
stopping
of
an
old
Ulcer
.
And
so
the
like
may
be
said
of
Hemorrhoids
,
if
unadvisedly
stopt
,
causing
not
only
worms
,
but
also
Melancholy
,
Scorbie
,
and
several
other
Infirmities
;
and
the
immoderate
flowing
of
them
,
vehemently
debilitates
the
whole
Constitution
on
the
other
side
.
Bathing
also
,
according
as
the
Bath
is
hot
or
cold
,
and
the
nature
of
the
Infirmity
;
as
in
all
Catarrhs
Hot
Baths
are
very
prejudicial
,
rendring
the
humours
fluid
,
whereby
they
disperse
over
all
the
Body
,
causing
several
Diseases
besides
worms
.
To
stay
also
too
long
in
a
Bath
,
go
in
too
often
,
or
at
unseasonable
times
,
putrifies
the
whole
mass
of
humours
,
and
is
a
main
cause
.
Bathing
also
on
a
full
stomach
,
or
before
there
be
due
concoction
,
disperses
the
humors
,
crude
into
all
the
parts
,
and
is
no
less
a
cause
.
Cold
Baths
are
worse
,
especially
for
such
as
are
growing
,
young
people
,
or
such
as
are
declining
,
and
infirm
bodies
,
or
such
as
feed
grosly
,
for
the
Pores
being
thereby
constipated
,
the
fuliginous
malignant
vapours
being
hindred
from
transpiring
,
corrupt
in
the
body
,
and
prove
a
virulent
Cause
.
Wind
is
also
no

a
Cause
then
any
of
the

by
hindring

corrupting

Rest
and
Exercise
,
a
Cause
.
WE
must
know
,
that
Rest
and
Exercise
is
no
less
a
Cause
then
any
of
the
preceding
non-naturals
.
To
begin
more
pernitious
to
our
Souls
;
for
it
is
one
of
the
seven
deadly
sins
,
odious
both
to
GOD
and
all
good
men
,
consuming
the
Mind
and
Soul
as
Rust
doth
Iron
;
the
Nurse
of
all
manner
of
wickedness
,
and
that
of
which
comes
no
goodness
,
for
it
is
the
Devils
Cushion
,
and
the
cause
of
Melancholy
,
which
is
the
Devils
Bath
.
Neither
is
there
any
thing
more
destructive
to
our
bodies
;
for
it
weakens
the
body
,
extinguisheth
natural
heat
,
hinders
concoction
and
evacuation
,
causeth
obstructions
,
fills
the
body
full
of
flegm
and
many
gross
,
corrupt
,
excrementitious
humours
,
whence
these
vermin
are
abundantly
ingendred
:
Nay
,
it
is
the
proximate
cause
of
all
manner
of
Infirmities
.
For
as
a
standing
Pool
corrupts
,
breeds
worms
,
and
putrifaction
,
so
doth
out
bodies
and
humours
being
idle
;
whence

Opposite
to
these
,
are
Exercise
,
Labour
,
Diligence
,
which
on
the
other
hand
,
if
in
excess
,
or
unseasonably
used
,
are
as
pernitious
and
destructive
.
Much
exercise
and
weariness
consumes
the
Spirits
and
substantial
parts
of
the
body
,
and
such
humours
which
nature
would
have
otherwise
concocted
,
it
irritates
,
and
being
so
irritated
,
diversly
affect
both
the
body
and
mind
,
tundring
concoction
,
and
sometimes
breaks
the
vessels
,
and
frequently
it
extravasateth
the
blood
,
and
causeth
inflammations
in
the
external
parts
and
skin
,
invironing
the
Ribs

themselves

Ribs
,
or
else

Plurisies
;
and
if
the
Blood
being
thus
violently
irritated
remain
still
in
the
veins
,
it
excites
putrid
Feavers
.
Likewise
if
the
body
be
replete
with
vitious
and
corrupt
humours
,
many
evils
especially
follow
on
violent
exercise
,
for
thus
being
excited
,
and
being
dispersed
through
the
several
parts
of
the
Body
,
the
Brain
is
filled
with
many
fuliginous
vapours
,
and
in
some
weak
parts
,
whereof
they
cannot
so
well
dilate
,
they
corrupt
and
putrifie
,
whence
not
only
Botches
,
Boiles
,
Ulcers
,
and
such
like
are
occasioned
,
but
worms
,
and
many
times
Lasks
and
Vomitings
.
Exercise
at
unseasonable
times
,
on
a
full
stomach
is
as
bad
;
for
it
corrupts
the
Aliment
in
the
stomach
,
and
carries
the
same
Juice
raw
and
undigested
into
the
veins
,
which
there
putrifying
,
ingenders
worms
.
Exercise
on
a
full
stomach
also
,
counfounds
the
Animal
Spirits
.
Likewise
when
the
body
is
not
cleansed
of
its
excrements
,
exercise
is
as
unfitting
;
lest
when
the
body
is
hot
,
and
the
pores
open
,
their
feculencies
be
mixt
with
,
or
transported
to
the
good
humours
,
and
other
parts
;
and
so
it
is
not
fitting
before
concoction
be
perfected
,
for
the
heat
being
thereby
evoked
,
concoction
must
needs
be
impedited
,
ill
humours
accumulated
,
and
worms
ingendred
.
DIVISION
VI.
Passions
and
Perturbations
of
the
Mind
,
Causes
.
IN
the
last
place
,
Passions
and
Perturbations
of
the
Mind
,
are
in
some
cases
,
the
worst
non-natural
;
for
as
the
dregs
are
the
bitterest
of
the
Cup
,
so
is
this
the
most
pernitious
of
all
the
rest
;
violently
shaking
the
whole
frame
of
our
natures
,
subverting
the
good
temperature
of
our
bodies
,
and
oftentimes
causing
death
it self
.
For
as
the
body
by
it's
bad
humours
,
works
upon
the
mind
,
soul
,
and
all
the
faculties
thereof
;
so
doth
the
soul
again
,
as
variously
affect
the
body
,
by
Anger
,
Joy
,
Fear
,
Sorrow
,
which
four
Passions

p
Hae
quatuor
passiones
sunt
tanquam
rotae
in
curru
quibus
vehemur
in
hoc
mundo
.
are
as
the
Wheels
in
a
Coach
,
by
which
We
are
carried
in
this
World.
Subordinate
to
these
are
Love
,
Hatred
,
Envy
,
Emulation
,
Jealousie
,
Pride
,
Anxiety
,
Mercy
,
Pitty
,
Ambition
,
Avarice
,
Shame
,
Discontent
,
Despair
,
Indignation
,
&c.
Now
,
these
Passions
and
Perturbations
of
the
Soul
,
dwell
between
Reason
and
Sense
;
but
for
the
most
part
,
follow
rather
Sense
,
then
Reason
.
For
by
the
Memory
and
Common
Sense
is
conveyed
to
the
Imagination
some
object
to
be
known
,
which
being
thereby
misconceived
,
applyed
and
agravated
,
immediately
it
communicates
it
to
the
Heart
,
the
Seat
of
all
Affections
;
whence
presently
the
Spirits
hasten
from
the
Brain
to
the
Heart
,
signifying
what
good
or
bad
object
was
presented
,
which
forthwith
it
bends
it self
to
prosecute
or
avoid
,
drawing
with
it
other
humours
to
help
it
;
and
hence
in
pleasure
concurr
the
greater
store
of
purer
Spirits
,
as
also
in
Joy
;
in
Grief
and
Sadness
,
more
melancholy
blood
,
and
impure
spirits
,
as
also
in
Fear
;
in
Anger
more
Cholerick
.
So
that
the
original
of
all
the
Perturbations
and
Passions
of
the
Mind
and
Soul
,
proceeds
from
a
praved
Imagination
,
misinforming
the
Heart
:
For
as
the
Fansie
or
Imagination
is
more
or
less
intended
or
remitted
,
apprehensive
or
violent
,
and
the
humours
disposed
;
so
the
Perturbations
and
Passions
move
more
or
less
,
take
deeper
impression
,
and
cause
the
greater
tumult
;
whence
the
Spirits
are
so
altred
and
confused
,
that
there
necessarily
follows
an
increase
of
gross
,
thick
Spirits
and
Crudities
,
a
multitude
of
bad
humours
are
occasioned
,
concoction
impedited
,
the
nutriment
abated
,
and
in
a
word
,
all
the
operations
,
both
of
Soul
and
Body
are
letted
,
distracted
and
confounded
;
and
consequently
,
worms
and
other
direful
Maladies
,
both
of
Body
and
Mind
,
are
occasioned
.
[
](A57722-e53310-b)q
q
In
Charmides
.
Plato
therefore
,
ascribes
all
miseries
of
the
Body
to
the
Soul
,
because
it
should
have
ruled
it
better
;
for
then
must
the
Ship
of
our
Healths
needs
be
in
danger
of
wracking
,
when
Fansie
,
and
Idle
Imagination
sits
at
the
Helm
,
instead
of
Reason
,
that
ought
to
be
Pilate
;
which
is
to
be
seen
in
the
best
of
us
,
more
or
less
,
at
some
time
or
other
to
break
forth
in
spite
of
all
Education
or
Religion
,
they
being
natural
unto
us
,
and
inherent
.
Wherefore
I
shall
hint
at
those
few
Cardinal
Passions
only
;
and
because
all
Perturbations
as
was
said
,
proceeding
from
a
depraved
Fansie
,
misapprehending
and
wrongfully
applying
the
object
,
I
shall
first
premise
a
word
of
the
force
of
Imagination
.
SUBDIVISION
I.
Of
the
force
of
Imagination
.
LET
us
consider
first
,
what
Imagination
is
;
and
truly
I
think
it
may
well
be
defined
,
That
Internal
Sense
which
examines
the
several
species
of
the
Common
Sense
,
whether
of
things
present
or
absent
,
keeping
and
retaining
of
them
longer
,
and
recalling
them
to
mind
again
,
or
making
new
of
his
own
,
and
is
free
when
the
rest
of
the
Senses
sleep
.
(
As
appears
by
divers
strange
conceptions
in
Dreams
.
)
It
's
objects
are
all
the
species
communicated
thereunto
by
the
common
sense
,
whereby
it
imagines
infinite
other
;
and
ought
in
Man
,
to
be
ruled
by
Reason
;
which
we
oftentimes
by
woful
experience
find
is
not
,
through
defect
of
the
organs
of
the
body
,
by
which
the
Soul
works
;
or
some
inward
or
outward
distemper
;
as
is
seen
in
Night-walkers
,
who
,
whilst
they
are
asleep
,
will
yet
walk
up
and
down
,
and
do
their
work
in
their
Callings
.
Likewise
in
that
direful
distemper
Hydrophobia
and
Lyconthropia
,
treated
of
elsewhere
,
[
](A57722-e53460-b)r
r
In
my
Book
of
Poysons
.
they
imagine
they
see
a
Wolf
or
Dog
in
the
water
or
Liquor
,
and
so
,
though
ready
to
die
with
thirst
,
will
not
drink
,
&c.
Some
refer
all
Heresies
,
Superstition
and
Vice
,
to
a
depraved
and
false
Imagination
:
and
Paracelsus
goes
higher
,
ascribing
to
Imagination
,
the
power
of
Miracle-working-faith
:
Concluding
what
Hypocrates
or
Galen
did
as
to
Cures
,
was
meerly
by
the
force
of
Imagination
in
them
or
their
Patients
,
accounting
them
but
meer
Children

Others

,
and

like
,

*
But
therein
they
shew
themselves
infinitely
more
idle

idle
Imagination
.
Some
again
,
will
have
all
Transes
,
and
Extasies
,
to
be
by
the
force
of
their
Imagination
;
as
it
was
frequent
among
the
Indian
Priests
,
to
separate
themselves
from
their
Senses
when
they
pleased
,

tells
us
of
a
Romish
Priest
that
he
saw
at
Rome
,
that
could
and
did
do
the
like
,
perswading
the
world
he
could
not
help
it
,
when
he
heard
those
words
of
our
Saviour
upon
the
Cross
,
Consumatum

,
but
Rondiletius
quickly
cured
him
,
by
threatning
to
Cudgel
him
,
as
you
may
see
in
the
Author
at
large
.
But
it
is
most
certain
,
the
power
of
Imagination
is
apparent
in
these
three
respects
or
kinds
.
1.
Upon
the
Body
of
the
Imaginant
,
including
likewise
the
Child
in
the
Mothers
Womb.
2.
Upon
Dead
Bodies
,
as
Wood
,
Stone
,
Metal
,
&c.
3.
Upon
the
Spirits
of
Men
and
living
Creatures
.
Upon
the
Body
the
Imaginant
;
we
see
nothing
more
frequent
,
then
far
one
to
yawn
,
if
he
sees
another
;
laugh
,
be
angry
,
make
water
,
sigh
,
sweat
,
tremble
,

But
the
power
of
Imagination
is
not
only
in
the
affections
;
but
in
the
very
humours
themselves
;
and
is
of
force
sufficient
to
Cause
,
and
not
only
so
,
but
to
cure
most
,
if
not
all
Diseases
;
and
bring
Death
it self
by
another
mean
,
then
you
have
already
heard
.
If
we
look
but
down
an
high
place
,
we
are
amazed
,
and
ready
to
fall
,
and
even
tremble
;
if
we
see
any
one
turn
round
,
we
are
giddy
:
So
we
fall
deadly
sick
,
and
contract
all
manner
of
diseases
,
as
we
see
others
,
in
whose
company
we
come
.
How
many
thousands
have
fallen
sick
of

Pox
,
by
seeing
one
perfectly
recovered
,
with
only
the

in
his
face
,
&
several
other
diseases
,
nay
but
by
hearing
them
discoursed
of
in
a
sickly
time
;
nothing
worse
therefore
then
a
Childish
Imagination
and
fear
,
in
an
infectious
time
.
I
have
heard
of
a
man
,
who
accidentally
happening
into

who
being
reported
to
have
had
the
Plague
,
at
the
very
apprehension
thereof
(
although
he
was
as
free
as
himself
)
fell
down
suddenly
dead
.
So
if
a
Fortune-teller
,
or
Wiseman
(
as
they
term
him
)
or
Physitian
,
tells
one
he
shall
be
sick
of
such
a

,
at
such
a

;
a
thousand
to
one
,
but
when
the

comes
,
he
be

indeed

one
of

whereupon
she
was
really
affected
with
it
that
very
night

though
before

The
other
was
of
a

Ludovicus

reports
of
a
Jew
,
who
in
France
,
rode
by
accident
over
a
dangerous
precipice
,
there
being
only
a
plank
for
the
passage
,
not
knowing
what
peril
he
was
in
,
being
in
the
dark
;
but
the
next
day
shewing
him
the
place
,
immediately
fell
down
dead
.
The
like
is
reported
of
a
man
that
rode
over
Rochester
Bridge
when
it
was
mending
,
there
being
only
a
plank
laid
for
foot
passengers
.
And
all
men
know
it
forcibly
corrupts
the
humours
,
and
so
causeth

Neither
doth
Fansie
only
cause
,
but
also
as
easily
cure
Diseases
;
as
I
may
justly
refer
all
magical
and
jugling
cures
thereunto
;
performed
as
is

of

of
the

,
inverted

&c.
which
serve
to
no
purpose
but
only
to
help
,
farther
&
excite
the
Imagination
,
and
stir
up
the
humours
and
spirits
,
and
so
by
the
power
of
the
Fansie
the
cause
of
the
distemper
may
be
removed
,
and
therefore
all
such
Cures
,
are
rather
to
be
ascribed
to
the
force
of
Imagination
,
then
any
vertue
in
them
,
or
their
Rings
Amulets
,
Lamens
,
&c.
As
one
that
confides
in

,

that
part
which
hatcheth
the
Resolution

,
if
we
find
a
figure
promising
indifferent
well
,
it
so
stirts
up
his
Fansie
,
that
the
strength
of
his
Imagination
doth
many
times
bring
the
thing
to
pass
;
not
the
Starrs

Planets
,
there
being
no
ground
in
reason
or
nature
for
it
;
or
else
the
Devil
,
to
bring
them
into
the
greater
snare
,
so
stirrs
up
the
fansie
of
the
Astrologer
,
that
he
strangely
hits
upon
truth
,
or
brings
it
afterwards
accordingly
to
pass
.
As
in
my
youthful
time
,
for
sport
among
my
friends
,
I
have
desired
them
many
times
,
to
propound
a
question
of
any
one
absent
and
unknown
to
me
,
which
I
have
answered
so
exactly
,
as
if
I
had
been
acquainted
with
parties
and
actions
;
nay
,
and
sometimes
,
when
the
figure
hath
been
wrong
set
(
as
at
four
in
the
morning
,
instead
of
four
afternoon
)
to
the
admiration
,
not
only
of
them
all
,
but
of
my self
too
.
And
this
is
clear
,
since
I
had
no
fansie
to
it
,
I
can
prognosticate
nothing
right
,
though
I
understand
ten
times
more
,
then
when
I
scarce
ever
judg'd
amiss
.
We
may
likewise
hereunto
refer
all
Cures
done
by
silly
Women
,
braging
Empericks
,
Quacks
,
Knavish
Mountibanks
,
ignorant
Chyrurgions
,
and
Pragmatical
Apothecaries
,
whom
we
oftentimes
see
do
more
wonderful
Cures
(
o●
so
in
appearance
)
then
a
Rational
an●
Learned
Physitian
,
and
that
too
many
times
,
when
they
apply
very
contrary
Medicines
,
and
such
as
in
a
sober
man's
judgement
,
would
do
rather
hurt
then
good
,
meerly
by
the
confidence
of
the
Patient
and
Emprick
,
&
the
strength
of
his
Imagination
;
for
it
is
of
more
validity
,
then
all
the
Physick
he
can
use
:
whence
Hypocrates
[
](A57722-e54180-b)b

affirms
,
That
Physitian
doth

,
in

confide

Again
,
nothing
more
frequent
then
for
melanlancholy
people
to
fansie
strange
things
of
themselves
,
and
be
cured
by
another
Fansie
;
as
he
that
would
not
piss
for
fear
of
drowining
the
world
,
till
the
House
being
on
fire
,
and
perswaded
to
quench
it
that
way
,
did
not
only
perceive
his
former
errour
,
but
was
cured
of
it
;
or
she
in
Trallianus
,
that
would
not
be
perswaded
but
she
had
swallowed
a
Snake
;
at
length
the
Physitians
complyed
with
her
humour
,
but
told
her
they
did
not
doubt
,
but
if
she
would
take
such
a
Vomit
as
they
would
give
her
,
they
would
bring
it
away
,
which
she
consenting
to
,
they
secretly
conveyed
a
dead
Snake
into
the
Bason
where
she
vomited
,
and
so
was
cured
:

conceited
himself
dead

and
thereupon
,
would
neither

yet
was
cured
by
counter-ballancing
his
Imagination
with
one

Chamber

,
in
a
winding

,
with

so

consequently

how
a

LET
us
begin
with
Anger
,
a
Passion
of
the
Soul
moving
the
Blood
and
Spirits
,
first
inwardly
to
the
internal
parts
,
and
then
outwardly
,
being
the
most
violent
and
most
pernitious
of
all
Perturbations
,
Irafuror
brevis
,
differing
indeed
nothing
at
all
from
madness
but
in
degr●e
;
for
it
renders
a
man
void
of
understanding
,
blind
,
monstruous
,
bestial
,
and
irrational
,
being
an
irrational
perturbation
of
the
mind
;
in
which
he
swears
,
stares
,
brawls
,
roars
,
fights
,
flings
,
and
does
he
knows
not
what
,
being
a
cruel
tempest
of
the
mind
;
it
inflaming
the
blood
about
the
Heart
and
Spirits
also
,
which
being
sent
into
the
other
parts
more
remote
,
oftentimes
corrupt
the
whole
mass
of
blood
,
and
excite
Feavers
of
all
sorts
,
as
well
as
worms
,
and
the
Pestilence
it self
,
and
all
other
Diseases
arising
of
Choler
,
disturbed
and
corrupted
humours
;
besides
,
it
not
only
debilitates
,
but
destroys
the
spirits
and
natural
heat
,
and
sometimes
causeth
death
it self
.
But
the
Heart
and
Brain
are
chiefly
affected
,
being
inordinately
heated
by
the
inflamed
blood
and
spirits
,
whence
ensue

Epilepsies

Catalepsies

Apoplexies
,
Convulsions

Vertigoes

Madness

Too
much
Joy
,
a
Cause
.
JOY
is
a
passion
moving
the
blood
and
spirits
to
the
outward
parts
;
and
although
we
think
it
less
dangerous
,
and
so
oftentimes
,
give
way
thereunto
;
yet
if
it
be
immoderate
,
it
not
only
causeth
this
,
and
most
Diseases
;
but
death
it self
:
For
it
carrys
a
man
not
only
out
of
a
mean
,
but
himself
also
,
it
dissipates
and
pours
out
the
spirits
,
brings
Quotidian
Feavers
,
and
through
pucilanimity
of
spirit
,
some
do
yield
up
the
Ghost
.
For
inordinate
Joy
carryeth
the
natural
heat
and
spirits
so
violently
from
the
Heart
,
and
so
disperses
them
into
the
more
remote
parts
,
which
being
left
destitute
,
immediately
either
swooneth
or
dyeth
away

Of
Grief
and
Sorrow
,
how
a
Cause
.
AN
opposer
of
Joy
is
Grief
,
as
also
Sorrow
,
drawing
in
the
blood
and
Spirits
by
degrees
from
the
external
parts
to
the
Heart
and
Vitals
.
Every
perturbation
is
grievous
,
but
Grief
is
a●●
heavy
executioner
;
nothing
more
crucifies
the
Soul
,
nor
overthrows
the
health
of
the
body
,
then
Sorrow
:
It
refrigerates
the
whole
man
,
especially
the
Heart
,
and
dries
it
up
,
subverts
and
destroys
the
spirits
and
natural
heat
,
causeth
watchfulness
,
by
reason
of
its
drying
nature
,
hinders
concoction
,
ingendreth
worms
,
thickens
the
blood
and
humours
,
and
abundantly
increaseth
melancholy
;
so
that
miriads
have
thereby
perished

worldy
sorrow
causeth

And
sometimes
causeth

,
through
the
concourse
of
much
melancholy
blood
about
the
Heart
,
whereby
the
good
spirits
are
extinguished
.
Likewise
there
being

of
fuliginous
black
blood
attracted

Many

are
again

as
much
troubled

the
fear

eateth
them
up

both

and
it
is
often
seen
by
the

by
the
just
judgement

of
GOD
for

the
thing
that
they
feared
comes
upon
them
,
according
to
that
of
the
wise
man
:
[
](A57722-e55290-b)d
d
Prov.
10.24
.
Because
they
feared
the
Devil

Gins
and
Devices
)
as
[
](A57722-e55300-b)e

Domician
and

were
.
For
whatsoever
a

imagineth
,
doubtingly
,
or
with
fear
,
must
needs
be
hurt
,
i●
Imagination
hath
any
power
at
all
,
a
man
representing
always
,
that
oftner
which
he
feareth
,
then
the
contrary
.
Wherefore
,
away
with
all
those
vai●
conceits
;
and
remember
that
the
Starts
do
but
incline
,
and
that
so
gently
,
that
if
we
will
be
ruled
by
reason
,
they
have
no
power
at
all
over
us
;
(
that
is
,
to
compell
us
to
this
or
that
action
)
but
i●
we
follow
our
own
nature
,
and
be
led
by
sense
as
bruit
beasts
,
they
do
as
much
in
us
as
in
them
,
and
we
are
no
better

we
differ
in

So
that
to
conclude
of
Fear
,
there
is
no
greater
misery
upon
Earth
,
or
on
this
side
Hell
;
for
it
draws
the
Devil
to
it

as
Cardan
well
notes

And
as
Peter

records

Americans
in

,
such
as
are
afraid
of
the
Devil
,
are
by
him
assaulted
;
and
from
such

not

he
vanisheth

A

so
our

the

For
there
is
the

property
and
virtue
in
the
Milk
,
as
in
the

and
that
not

in

,
but
in
all
other
Creatures
.
A
Slut
at

put
a

often
to
such
a
Mastive

the
Child

shewed
the

as
he

by

,

never

as

the

maintains

that
if
the
Nurse
be
a
Dolt
,
a

,
&c.
the
Child
she
nourisheth
,
will
take
after
her
.
So
that
special
care
is
to
be
had
in
the
chusing
of
a
Nurse
.
I
am
not
of
Phavorinus
his

the
Mother
is
best
;
for
she
may
be

a

ill

another
.
Such
therefore
ought
to
be
chosen
contrary
,
to
correct
those
defects
.
Thus
you
see
what
an
easie
matter
it
is
for
a
Nurse
to
subvert
the
good
temperature
of
a
Child
,
and
make
him

corrupt

And
whether

most
mischievous

is
by
some
controverted
.
Many
with
Plato
,
excusing

condemn
the

,

Others
more
rationally
condemn
the

and
excuse
the
Soul.

that

for
the

the

cannot

restrain

is
easily
carried

that

And
so
we
see
daily
,
that
old
people
dote
,
are
dull
,
and
want
spirit
and
vivacity
,
and
perform
neither

with

in

Neither

but
perverts
the
good
temperature
of
our
Constitutions
,
and
causeth
not
only
worms
,
but
all
Diseases
.
Humours
are
in
number
four
,
Blood
,
Flegm
,
Choler
,
and
Melancholy
.
To
which
we
may
add
the
Serum
of
the
Blood.
Now
the
Blood
,
from
whence
all
other
Humours
proceed
,
is
made
of
the
Chyle
and
the
thinner
parts
of
the
Aliment
,
pr●st
down
to
the
Intestines
,
which
passing
through
the
Lacteals
to
the
Chyle
,
and
amalgamated
with
a
Serum
from
the
Lymphaticks
,
passes
through
the
Subclavals
,
whence
mingled
with
the
Blood
,
it
rushes
into
the
vena
Cava
,
and
so
goes
into
the
left
Ventricle
of
the
Heart
,
and
by
it's
motion
,
is
cast
into
the
Lungs
through
the
pulmonary
Arteries
,
to
be
there
as
well
defaecated
from
some
Emplastick
Immundities
and
excrementitious
Crudities
,
as
by
the
niter
of
the
Air
,
attracted
by
respiration
,
impregnated
,
and
more
exactly
mingled
with
the
Blood
,
and
then
through
the
pulmonary
veins
,
is
conveyed
to
the
right
Ventricle
of
the
Heart
,
out
of
which
again
,
when
more
refined
,
is
by
the
Aorta
,
sent
to
all
parts
of
the
Body
;
whence
for
its
farther
exaltation
,
it
undergoes
various
separations
in
the
Liver
(
which
depurates
it
of
it's
cholerick
quality
)
Kidneys
(
whence
it
is
defaecated
of
it's
Serum
;
)
and
Fermentations
in
the
Spleen
,
Testicles
,
Uterus
,
&c.
by
which
it
is
indowed
with
more
vigour
and
life
.
But
the
Heart
is
however
,
the
chief
Sanguifier
and
Finger
:
For
by
it's
innate
niter
and
ferment
,
fermenting
the
Chyle
,
which
is
full
of
volatile
Salt
and
Sulphure
,
it
becometh
red
;
for
upon
it's
first
rushing
into
the
Heart
,
a
strange
ebulition
(
as
it
is
thought
by
Des
Cartes
)
is
made
,
like
the
powring
almost
of
Spirit
of
Niter
on
Butter
of
Antimony
.
Now
all
defects
of
the
Humours
are
divided
into
Plethoram
,
&
Cachochymiam
.
Plethora
is
a
plentidude
,
redundancy
,
or
fulness
of
the
Blood
in
the
Body
,
and
other
Humours
,
viz.
when
they
abound
beyond
their
due
mean
,
they
are
called
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
If
there
be
not
blood
mixt
with
this
plentitude
,
it
is
rather
a
Cachochymia
,
as
Galen
[
](A57722-e56000-b)l
l
Lib.
de
Ple●itudine
.
notes
,
it
being
improper
to
call
the
redundancy
of
Flegm
,
Choler
,
or
Melancholy
,
a
Plethora
.
Yet
if
the
other
good
humours
abound
with
blood
,
it
is
a
pure
Plethora
;
but
if
together
with
the
redundancy
of
good
humours
,
there
be
also
mixed
such
as
are
bad
and
vitious
;
it
is
a
spurious
Plethora
,
corrupting
the
good
humours
and
nutriments
,
and
ingendring
worms
.
So
doth
many
times
the
Pure
,
by
several
Accidents
.
Cachochymia
is
an
excess
in
either
quantity
,
or
quality
of
natural
,
or
preternatural
excrementitious
humours
,
or
whilst
either
of
these
putrifie
,
and
introduce
worms
,
and
an
alteration
of
the
habit
of
the
body
and
constitution
.
So
that
Cachochymia
is
divers
;
for
sometimes
Choler
,
sometimes
Melancholy
,
sometimes
times
Flegm
,
sometimes
serous
humours
,
and
sometimes
two
or
more
,
of
these
mixt
abound
;
whence
it
differs
from
Plethora
in
seat
;
for
Plethora
is
in
the
veins
only
,
Cachochymia
is
over
all
the
body
,
and
in
every
part
,
and
in
some
one
part
or
member
sometimes
,
as
well
as
in
the
veins
.
For
a
Plethora
is
one
of
these
wayes
to
be
considered
;

Quo

Quo

.
Plentitude
in
relation
to
the
vessels
,
I
call
the
great
concourse
of
blood
and
humours
,
extending
the
veins
beyond
their
ordinary
magnitude
.
In
relation
to
the
strength
,
is
when
the
strength
of
the
body
is
burthened
,
oppressed
,
and
born
down
,
although
the
vessels
be
not
extended
.
Some
have
made
a
mixt
kind
of
Plethora
,
as
when
the
vessels
are
not
only
fill'd
and
extended
,
but
pains
at
the
same
time
affect
the
body
,
bearing
down
the
strength
:
all
extinguishing
natural
heat
;
and
putrifying
,
yet
herein
doth
Cachochimia
agree
with
it
,
that
it
is
also
two-fold
,
Pure
and
Spurious
.
A
Pure
Cachochymiae
,
is
when
there
is
more
plenty
of
ill
humours
then
is
convenient
,
without
any
mixture
at
all
of
any
good
.
Spurious
is
,
when
together
with
abundance
of
bad
humours
and
juices
,
there
is
an
allay
,
more
or
less
,
of
good
humours
with
them
.
And
as
is
the
one
destructive
to
our
healths
,
being
apt
to
putrifie
and
cause
worms
,
with
a
thousand
other
distempers
;
so
is
the
other
.
The
worst
being
Cachochymick
,
having
its
residence
as
well
without
as
within
the
vessels
,
and
in
every
part
of
the
body
,
especially
the
bowels
,
it
is
most
apt
to
offend
,
and
is
a
most
frequent
cause
of
this
,
and
almost
all
Diseases
.
Now
I
would
not
be
here
mistaken
,
that
the
Melancholy
,
Cholerick
,
and
Flegmatick
humours
in
the
mass
of
Blood
,
are
excrements
,
being
often
so
called
,
from
their
similitude
with
excrements
,
and
because
they
soon
degenerate
thereinto
;
for
they
retain
the
form
of
blood
,
fit
for
nourishing
the
body
,
and
soon
converted
into
blood
;
therefore
more
aptly
termed
Cholerick
,
Flegmatick
,
and
Melancholick
Blood
,
then
excrements
.
For
all
these
Humours
are
either
Natural
,
or
Preternatural
.
The
Natural
is
a
cold
and
moist
Juice
or
Blood
,
sweet
in
taste
,
and
not
perfectly
concocted
(
to
speak
of
Flegm
first
)
the
most
cold
and
crude
of
all
the
other
humours
,
that
is
comparitively
,
&
in
respect
of
the
second
concoction
,
not
in
respect
of
that
which
●s
performed
in
the
stomach
,
for
in
the
Chyle
are
heterogenial
parts
;
and
that
which
therein
is
the
more
cold
,
moist
and
trude
,
is
prepared
,
and
began
to
be
sanguified
,
and
is
so
disposed
,
that
it
be●omes
nourishment
to
the
cold
and
moist
●arts
,
and
is
capable
of
better
concoction
;
although
,
yet
,
in
comparison
of
●ure
and
perfect
blood
,
it
be
also
termed
crude
;
and
this
is
the
Flegm
in
the
mass
of
Blood.
Preternatural
Flegm
,
is
all
other
Flegm
besides
,
abounding
in
the
body
,
and
can
never
be
transmuted
●nto
blood
,
or
nourishment
;
of
which
there
are
divers
kinds
.
As
1.
Sweet
,
or
insipid
.
2.
Acide
,
or
sharp
.
3.
Salt.
And
4.
Vitreous
,
resembling
molten
grass
.
1.
Incypid
Flegm
,
(
for
indeed
,
the
denomination
of
Sweet
,
belongs
more
properly
to
natural
Flegm
)
is
a
crude
●umour
in
the
stomach
,
ob
defectum
concoctionis
,
arising
of
too
much
eating
and
drinking
,
idleness
,
&c.
or
else
by
eating
crude
and
unwholsome
meats
and
drinks
,
feeding
on
variety
of
dishes
,
and
at
unseasonable
times
;
or
from
an
●ndisposition
of
the
Intrals
.
Now
there
are
several
Crudities
belonging
to
several
Concoctions
,
some
being
mor●
hot
,
some
more
cold
;
yet
that
is
generally
received
for
the
crude
humour
that
for
want
of
digestion
,
is
not
perfected
in
the
stomach
,
and
can
in
no
par●
of
the
body
be
converted
into
good
nourishment
(
the
defect
of
the
first
Concoction
,
being
not
amended
in
the
second
〈◊〉
but
so
remaineth
crude
;
and
upon
the
least
occasion
putrifies
,
ingenders
worms
▪
&
causeth
a
multitude
of
other
diseases
▪
2.
Acide
Flegm
is
also
crude
,
arising
of
the
same
causes
as
the
former
.
And
therefore
must
needs
produce
the
same
effects
;
it
is
rendred
Acide
through
want
of
Heat
,
and
is
worse
then
Incypid
.
3.
Salt
Flegm
,
ariseth
of
Incypid
Flegm●
putrified
,
and
serous
humours
mixt
,
growing
salt
through
putrifaction
;
Nam
quum
dulcis
pituitae
portiones
quaedam
,
vi
putridinis
astae
,
reliquae
dulcis
substantiae
permiscentur
,
salsum
in
ea
saporem
efficiunt
:
quem
admodum
etiam
in
maris
aqua
fieri
ceruimus
.
And
must
therefore
also
needs
be
a
Cause
.
4.
Vitreous
Flegm
is
exceeding
cold
,
viscid
and
thick
,
causing
intollerable
pains
where
it
is
lodged
,
and
is
no
less
a
Cause
,
then
any
of
the
rest
.
Choler
also
,
is
either
Natural
,
or
Preter-●atural
;
Natural
and
not
excrementitious
,
●s
that
hotter
and
dryer
part
of
the
mass
of
Blood
,
serving
to
nourish
the
body
,
●eing
together
with
the
Blood
,
sent
●hrough
the
veins
into
all
the
parts
therof
;
and
therefore
may
be
termed
Alimen●ary
Choler
.
It
is
made
of
the
more
thin
●nd
hot
part
of
the
Chyle
,
and
nourish●th
the
dryer
parts
of
the
body
.
But
●his
is
not
properly
to
be
called
Choler
,
but
rather
a
Cholerick
Blood.
Now
there
is
another
Natural
Choler
,
that
is
excrementitious
,
and
that
is
abso●ute
Choler
,
and
an
excrement
of
the
second
Concoction
,
whose
receptacle
is
the
Gall
,
made
of
the
hottest
and
sharpest
parts
of
the
Chyle
and
Blood
;
and
sent
into
the
Bowels
as
a
natural
Cathartick
to
the
Body
,
and
if
detained
,
being
soon
apt
to
corrupt
,
it
degenerates
into
worms
,
and
innumerable
other
direful
Diseases
.
That
which
is
Preternatural
,
ariseth
through
defect
of
concoction
,
too
much
Care
,
Anxiety
of
Mind
,
Anger
,
Grief
,
too
much
and
over
frequent
exercise
,
watchings
,
hunger
and
fasting
,
an
hot
and
dry
distemperature
of
the
Bowels
,
youth
and
strength
of
Age
,
the
Summer
time
,
an
hot
constitution
of
the
Air
,
Diet
ho●
and
dry
,
of
a
thin
substance
,
and
especially
all
Fat
and
sweet
things
,
and
i●
four-fold
.
1.
Veteline
Choler
,
resembling
the
yolk
of
an
Egg
in
colour
,
hotter
and
thicker
,
then
Natural
Choler
,
ye●
generated
thereof
,
and
of
Burnt-Chole●
,
by
a
preternatural
heat
.
This
is
Ve●elin●
▪
2.
Porracea
,
or
Leek-green
Choler
,
ariseth
of
vitious
and
unwholsome
meats
,
especially
of
Garlick
,
Leeks
,
Onions
,
Milk
,
or
whatever
is
apt
soon
to
corrupt
,
by
the
means
of
an
hot
stomach
;
and
becomes
green
through
crudity
and
the
corruption
of
the
nutriment
,
which
nature
cannot
perfectly
digest
nor
master
.
3.
Eruginous
Choler
,
Eruginosa
,
resembling
the
ternise
of
Copper
or
Silver
;
ingendred
in
the
Stomach
by
a
more
intense
heat
,
as
also
in
the
Heart
and
Liver
,
and
inordinate
heat
in
the
Viscera
,
and
Veins
.
4.
Isatida
,
being
of
complexion
like
unto
the
herb
Isatidis
,
which
we
commonly
denominate
Wood
,
of
a
blewish
green
colour
.
It
proceeds
of
Eruginous
Choler
more
adusted
,
and
so
comes
more
neer
unto
Black
Choler
,
is
the
most
sharp
,
corroding
and
malignant
of
any
of
the
rest
.
Thus
you
may
easily
perceive
,
●hey
are
all
causes
of
worms
and
other
Maladies
.
Lastly
,
Melancholy
is
either
Excrementitious
,
or
not
Excrementitious
.
The
●atter
is
nothing
else
,
but
the
cold
and
●ry
part
of
the
mass
of
Blood
,
and
is
Alimentary
Melancholy
,
nourishing
the
●old
and
dry
parts
of
the
Body
,
and
is
ingendred
of
the
more
gross
,
thick
,
cold
●nd
dry
part
of
the
Chyle
,
and
so
more
properly
termed
Melancholy
Blood
,
then
●ny
else
,
it
being
sanguifiable
.
The
Excrementitious
is
Natural
,
or
Preternatural
,
the
former
is
that
faecu●ent
,
gross
,
thick
excrement
,
which
is
ge●erated
in
the
Spleen
and
other
parts

Sanguification

yet
being
sent
to
the
●omach
,
causeth

it

and
dry
temperature

,
or
Black
Melancholy
.
It
is
two-fold
for
the
●hey
are
all
causes
of
worms
and
other
Maladies
.
Lastly
,
Melancholy
is
either
Excre●entitious
,
or
not
Excrementitious
.
The
●atter
is
nothing
else
,
but
the
cold
and
●ry
part
of
the
mass
of
Blood
,
and
is
Alimentary
Melancholy
,
nourishing
the
old
and
dry
parts
of
the
Body
,
and
is
in●endred
of
the
more
gross
,
thick
,
cold
●nd
dry
part
of
the
Chyle
,
and
so
more
●roperly
termed
Melancholy
Blood
,
then
●ny
else
,
it
being
sanguifiable
.
The
Excrementitious
is
Natural
,
or
●reternatural
,
the
former
is
that
faecuent
,
gross
,
thick
excrement
,
which
is
ge●erated
in
the
Spleen
and
other
parts
〈◊〉
Sanguification
;
yet
being
sent
to
the
●●omach
,
causeth
an
appetite
;
it
is
oc●asioned
by
a
cold
and
dry
temperature
●f
the
Bowels
,
old
Age
,
the
Autumnal
●●me
of
the
year
,
of
an
unconstant
tem●erature
of
the
Air
,
over-watchings
,
●ares
,
fears
,
sadness
,
immoderate
exer●ise
,
meats
of
qualitity
cold
and
dry
,
or
●ielding
a
gross
,
thick
,
and
terrene
sub●●ance
.
Preternatural
Melancholy
,
proceeds
●rom
adustion
;
of
temperature
hot
and
●ry
,
and
is
termed
Adust
Melancholy
,
or
●lack
Melancholy
.
It
is
two-fold
for
the
most
part
,
the
one
arising
of
Natural
Melancholy
,
or
Melancholy
Suc
,
the
other
of
Veteline
,
or
yellow
Choler
.
But
sometimes
by
some
accidents
,
flegm
is
converted
into
melancholy
,
especially
Acide
Flegm
;
for
it
being
apt
to
putrifie
,
it
soon
degenerates
into
Melancholy
.
And
all
these
humours
being
as
apt
to
putrifie
in
our
bodies
as
any
thing
,
do
as
soon
convert
into
worms
;
nay
,
what
is
the
distemper
they
produce
not
?
We
may
here
also
add
this
of
the
Serum
,
since
it
is
no
less
a
Cause
of
Cacochymia
,
then
any
of
the
four
humours
,
it
being
a
watrish
,
thin
humour
(
as
I
may
say
)
proceeding
from
the
other
humours
;
nay
,
look
how
many
kinds
of
Juices
,
are
contained
in
the
Veins
,
and
so
many
several
sorts
of
Serums
are
there
,
every
humour
having
its
peculiar
whey
;
and
is
as
it
were
,
the
excrement
of
the
humours
.
It
is
divided
into
mild
,
and
sharp
;
the
sharp
and
salin
is
for
the
most
part
,
converted
into
Urin
;
yet
some
part
is
still
retained
in
the
blood
&
other
humours
,
to
clarifie
them
,
Swea●
is
also
from
the
same
,
to
which
I
may
add
Teers
,
only
they
are
expelled
several
wayes
,
as
by
the
Eyes
,
Pores
,
Uritary
passages
;
which
,
if
it
be
not
duly
digested
,
distributed
,
and
evacuated
;
but
diverted
and
obstructed
,
it
stagnates
the
body
,
corrupts
the
other
humours
,
and
ingenders
not
only
worms
,
but
Cacochymia's
,
and
is
the
fountain
of
most
Diseases
.
And
so
much
shall
suffice
to
be
spoken
of
Humours
,
how
Causes
;
yet
they
are
not
confined
to
the
first
qualities
,
but
have
likewise
in
them
secondary
qualities
,
some
being
Bitter
,
Acide
,
Saline
,
&c.
by
which
they
may
also
be
a
Cause
in
as
forcible
a
manner
,
[
](A57722-e57440-b)*
*
If
we
but
consider
how
the
blood
and
other
liquors
,
as
also
the
Urin
abounds
with
Sulphur
Vitriol
,
and
that
the
several
Sulphurs
and
Vitriols
in
our
bodies
may
operate
variously
one
upon
another
.
As
also
that
the
bitter
,
acide
,
salin
,
incypid
,
tough
,
&c.
juices
in
our
bodies
abide
in
us
without
disturbance
whilst
they
duly
allay
each
other
,
and
grow
not
predominant
.
And
our
very
Aliment
is
turned
in
and
that
of
very
Milk
,
as
we
see
in
Children
.
as
by
the
primary
qualities
,
as
we
see
aluminent
&
nitrous
humours
are
apparent
in
several
other
distempers
,
as
the
Gout
,
Canker
,
Scorby
;
or
,
to
speak
spagyrically
,
they
may
be
referred
to
SALT
,
SULPHUR
,
and
MERCURY
;
of
which
,
there
are
divers
sorts
in
our
bodies
.
As
of
SALTS
,
there
is
a
sweet
Salt
,
the
subject
of
the
Balsamick
Mercury
,
and
is
Nature's
great
friend
.
But
the
Nitrous
Salt
is
quite
contrary
,
and
destructive
to
her
,
causing
many
Diseases
.
The
Aluminous
Salt
,
is
to
the
Viscera
,
extreamly
emphractick
;
as
Vitriolate
Salt
Cathoiretick
to
the
pulmonary
vessels
,
and
urinary
passages
,
and
is
the
materia
of
Scorbies
,
and
podagrical
Affections
,
as
well
as
Catarths
.
There
is
also
an
Armoniack
Salt
,
that
is
dysepulotick
to
the
Skin
and
Flesh
.
Also
a
Saline
Salt
that
occasions
thirst
.
In
like
manner
there
are
no
less
variety
of
SULPHURS
:
As
there
is
a
vinous
Sulphur
,
resembling
the
Archeus
,
or
Vital
Spirit
,
or
Sulphur
which
is
the
director
of
Life
.
And
there
is
a
Sulpurous
Sulphur
,
that
is
most
fiery
,
and
the
occasion
of
Feavers
especially
continent
;
as
Stibial
Sulphur
is
of
putrid
,
with
vomits
and
sickness
of
the
stomach
.
So
Cinabrious
Sulphur
ingenders
malignant
Feavers
,
and
is
phagedainick
to
the
skin
and
flesh
.
Arsenical
Sulphur
doth
also
occasion
malignant
Feavers
,
the
small
Pox
,
Dysenteries
,
Syncopes
,
&c.
And
so
doth
Eruginous
Sulphur
cause
Dysenteries
,
pains
in
the
Ventricle
,
Cholera
,
&c.
Of
MERCURIES
also
,
there
are
not
a
few
;
as
there
is
a
Balsamick
Mercury
,
which
is
all
one
with
the
Humidum
Radicale
,
and
is
the
stay
of
our
Lives
.
Again
there
is
a
Glutinous
Mercury
,
that
,
on
the
contrary
,
diseases
the
body
;
is
emphractick
to
bowels
,
and
is
that
we
call
Tenacious
Flegm
.
As
Mercurial
Mercury
,
is
the
same
which
we
call
Serum
.
And
so
Glacial
Mercury
,
is
what
we
denominate
Vitreal
Flegm
,
being
Pugnotified
.
There
is
also
a
Lunary
Mercury
,
which
is
that
Crystalline
Liquor
which
perfuses
the
Brain
;
but
becoming
accidentally
sulphurous
or
saline
,
is
the
occasion
of
many
dreadfull
evils
in
the
Brain
.
And
Acetose
Mercury
,
is
only
that
acid
Vinger-like
flegm
,
that
renders
the
body
meagre
,
squalid
,
&c.
and
is
very
offensive
to
the
Bowels
.
These
,
by
their
various
amalgamamations
one
with
another
,
and
ten
thousand
other
wayes
besides
,
may
not
only
subvert
our
good
Temperatures
and
Constitutions
,
and
prepare
them
,
but
also
subjugate
them
to
the
Helmintick
matter
,
and
most
,
if
not
all
other
Diseases
.
We
may
ascribe
all
to
Salt
,
Sulphur
,
and
Mercury
;
which
denominations
in
some
Cases
,
we
ought
not
to
despise
;
nor
,
on
the
other
hand
,
the
Galenical
Doctrine
of
Humorous
Causes
,
lest
we
make
our selves
ridiculous
.
Thus
amidst
so
many
various
Causes
,
no
wonder
if
so
many
various
forms
of
worms
,
of
divers
colours
and
magnitudes
be
ingendred
in
us
,
as
hath

CHAP.

Of
the
Signs
of
Worms
,
and
the
Fountain
of
Signs
in
general
.
DEscend
we
,
in
the
next
place
,
according
to
our
proposed
method
,
to
the
Signs
Diagnostick
,
whereby
these
vermin
are
discovered
to
be
in
the
bodies
of
Mankind
,
having
spoken
of
Causes
.
Now
this
word
Sign
in
this
place
,
is
not
to
be
taken
in
that
strict
sense
which
commonly
our
Philosophers
do
,
understanding
thereby
,
only
the
Effect
;
but
in
a
more
large
sense
,
according
to
the
general
acceptation
of
Physitians
.
For
whatsoever
is
presented
to
the
Senses
,
manifesting
any
thing
else
,
secret
or
hidden
,
is
a
Sign
.

For
a
Sign
must
signifie
and
indicate
something
,
else
it
is
a
sign
it
is
no
Sign
.
Signs
then
are
three-fold
,
wholsome
,
indicating
a
healthy
sound
body
;
or
unwholsome
,
shewing
weakness
and
Infirmities
;
or
neutral
,
indicating
a
disposition
to
neither
,
but
contain
some
signs
of
health
,
and
some
of
sickness
;
whence
they
were
wont
by
the
Antients
(
before
Galen
)
to
be
called
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Deloticks
,
or
Diagnosticks
,
which
are

,
making
the

state
and
condition
of
the
body
apparent
or
the
disease
,
whether
natural
or
preternatural
.
Likewise
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Prognosticks

which
indicate

〈◊〉

〈◊〉

,
Anamnesticks

Some
again
,
are
common
Signs
,
some
Proper
,
and
thence
arise
these
several
denominations
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
are
such
Symptoms
as
of
necessity
follow
the
Disease
,
having
in
them
all
the
notes
and
indications
of
the
distemper
;
and
therefore
,
they
are
alwayes
present
at
the
beginning
of
a
Disease
agreeing
therewith
,
demonstrating
the
present
malady
,
and
cannot
be
separated
from
it
;
and
they
are
constituted
and
made
up
of
many
Signs
,
which
being
taken
severally
,
are
not
Pathognomonicks
;
as
,
difficulty
of
breathing
,
a
dry
Cough
,
a
feaverish
Distemper
,
with
Pain
,
&c.
are
the
Pathognomonick
signs
of
a
Pleurisie
,
yet
an
Authelitus
,
Cough
,
a
Feaver
,
Pains
,
&c.
considered
severally
of
themselves
,
are
not
.
Likewise
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
the
Latins
call
Assidentia
,
Supervenientia
,
mox
seu
post
Apparentia
.
Synedruous
Assidentia
,
are
sociable
Signs
;
yet
such
as
do
not
necessarily
cohear
to
the
essence
of
a
Disease
,
neither
are
they
inseparable
from
a
Disease
,
nor
always
present
;
but
sometimes
(
besides
the
Pathognomonicks
)
they
appear
presently
at
the
beginning
of
a
Disease
,
sometimes
they
follow
afterwards
,
and
sometimes
again
,
they
appear
not
at
all
,
at
any
time
of
the
Disease
;
and
therefore
,
they
declare
not
the
Disease
it self
,
or
it's
kinds
;
but
some
Condition
thereof
only
.
Galen
and
his
followers
comprehend
Epiginomena's
under
Synedruous
;
therefore
Fuchsius
and
others
,
mention
only
Synedruous
,
confounding
the
other
therewith
.
And
Fernelius
speaks
not
a
word
of
Epiginomena's
;
yet
they
are
different
Signs
.
Epiginomena's
and
Epiphanomena's
,
are
such
Signs
as
neither
shew
the
kind
of
a
Disease
,
nor
the
quality
thereof
;
but
only
it's
mutation
.
And
they
are
threefold
,
as
1.
Some
are
signs
of
Crudities
and
Indigestions
.
2.
Others
denote
Life
and
Death
.
And
lastly
,
others
indicate
the
Crisis
,
and
are
Critical
,
presaging
the
termination
of
a
Disease
.
So
that
,
although
there
are
many
and
divers
Fountains
of
Signs
;
yet
may
they
all
be
reduced
to
these
three
following
,
viz.
First
to
the
essence
of
the
thing
it self
,
whether
it
be
a
Disease
,
a
Cause
,
or
a
Symptome
;
to
wit
,
when
a
thing
is
so
manifest
in
it's
own
nature
,
&
obvious
to
the
Senses
,
that
there
needs
no
other
signs
to
make
it
more
apparent
.
2ly
.
from
the
effects
,
or
all
things
that
follow
health
,
a
disease
,
and
causes
of
a
disease
,
Accidents
,
and
Symptomes
,
whether
the
Actions
are
hurt
,
or
the
Excrements
,
Retentions
,
or
Qualities
.
Thirdly
,
from
Causes
which
go
before
the
Effect
,
whether
they
are
external
,
as
Air
,
Meat
and
Drink
,
Custome
,
&c.
or
internal
,
as
Humours
,
Age
,
Temperament
,
Sex
,
&c.
by
themselves
,
or
by
accident
,
or
what
other
way
soever
,
&c.
But
I
shall
only
insist
of
the
Diagnostick
signs
of
Worms
in
this
place
and
so
proceed
to
Symptoms
and
Prognosticks
,
and
then
to
a
conclusion
.
SECT.
I.
Of
the
Diagnostick
Signs
of
Worms
.
ERE
we
can
come
to
the
Cures
,
it
is
most
requisite
we
consider
the
signs
of
the
Disease
,
that
we
be
rightly
informed
of
the
nature
thereof
,
or
our
Remedies
will
but
be
in
vain
;
for
the
Disease
being
latent
in
the
body
,
we
can
never
discover
it
without
the
signs
.
And
truly
,
it
is
no
easie
matter
to
discover
the
signs
of
worms
,
or
,
at
least
,
by
those
signs
infallibly
to
conclude
any
one
molested
by
them
;
since
all
the
signs
that
discover
them
,
are
common
signatures
and
indications
also
of
other
Diseases
.
Neither
do
all
the
signs
appear
in
all
people
,
but
in
some
more
,
in
some
less
.
However
,
the
signs
of
worms
in
the
Intestines
and
latent
there
,
viz.
the
most
common
and
frequent
are
,
squallidness
of
face
,
and
sometimes
by
fits
,
high
coloured
,
then
again
,
pale
;
hollowness
of
the
eyes
,
and
yet
sometimes
,
a
kind
of
shining
about
them
;
itching
of
the
Nose
,
an
unusual
defluxion
of
Spittle
,
a
stinking
Breath
,
mixt
sometimes
with
an
acid
respiration
;
a
grating
of
the
Teeth
,
especially
in
the
sleep
;
an
universal
trembling
over
the
whole
body
;
unquiet
sleep
,
with
frequent
startings
;
an
assiduous
dry
Cough
;
in
some
a
continual
loathing
,
and
often
vomitings
,
and
sometimes
an
insatiable
appetite
;
a
Hickop
,
a
driness
of
the
Tongue
and
Lips
,
a
pain
and
heaviness
in
the
Head
,
propension
to
sleep
;
an
extension
and
swelling
of
the
Belly
,
so
as
that
,
being
struck
,
will
sound
like
a
Drum
;
with
many
times
a
rumbling
noise
,
through
wind
;
in
some
again
,
the
Belly
is
rendred
on
the
other
extream
,
very
lank
;
also
looseness
of
the
Belly
,
in
which
their
excrements
are
exceeding
corrupt
,
and
frequently
resembling
Oxe
or
Cow-dung
;
a
gnawing
and
biting
about
the
stomach
,
especially
fasting
;
frightfull
and
terrible
Dreams
and
Fansies
in
the
sleep
;
extream
thirst
;
if
Teretes
are
at
any
time
dejected
,
which
occasioning
most
grievous
Symptoms
,
it
is
a
sign
they
are
most
abundant
and
peccant
at
that
time
;
especially
if
in
a
morning
,
whilst
the
Patient
is
fasting
,
if
any
cold
liquor
be
sprinkled
upon
his
stomach
,
and
find
them
run
all
together
:
Many
times
the
body
decays
,
and
grows
lean
.
If
there
be
any
emission
of
cucurbitin
morsels
,
the
Patient
is
assuredly
molested
with
your
Lati
Lumbrici
.
If
there
be
an
itching
in
Ano
,
it
indicates
Ascarides
offend
.
And
so
of
others
you
may
judge
by
the
part
affected
.
Lastly
,
the
Pulse
is
for
the
most
part
unequal
.
It
is
no
easie
matter
many
times
,
to
discover
whether
they
be
from
a
natural
or
magical
cause
,
since
as
you
have
heard
,
the
Devil
oftentimes
,
and
most
times
,
works
by
natural
means
,
and
by
the
mediation
of
mens
humours
.
Whence
several
able
Physitians
have
been
herein
deceived
;
as
may
bee
seen
in
their
Writings
.
Sennertus
tells
us
,
he
cured
several
that
were
sorely
affected
with
intolerable
pains
,
and
inflammations
;
the
which
he
could
not
in
the
least
imagine
proceeded
from
any
supernatural
,
or
magical
Cause
.
Yet
some
Witches
,
then
in
prison
,
were
the
Causes
thereof
,
as
upon
their
examination
they
confessed
.
For
in
that
the
depravëd
humours
were
by
them
excited
,
they
were
the
causes
of
the
ensuing
distempers
;
in
that
they
did
it
only
by
the
mediation
of
humours
,
it
was
the
hardlier
discovered
to
be
magical
.
The
chief
Signs
however
,
are
these
,
1.
When
the
Patient
is
extraordinarily
affected
,
and
that
,
sometimes
,
without
the
least
appearance
of
any
natural
cause
whatsoever
.
Divers
Instances
to
to
this
purpose
,

When
the
Patient
speaks
an
unknown
Language
he
was
never
taught
;
describes
parties
,
habits
,
and
actions
at
a
distance
,
with
whom
he
was
never
acquainted
.
3.
When
Physitians
of
known
abilities
,
are
gravell'd
and
puzled
about
ordinary
and
known
Distempers
(
which
is
commonly
seen
about
worms
)
so
as
they
know
not
neither
what
to
determine
,
even
within
themselves
;
also
when
all
ordinary
Infirmities
,
stoop
not
to
proper
and
specifical
Remedies
.
4.
When

,

,

else
,
that
cannot
be
naturally
bred
in
the
body
,
be
evacuated
by
themselves
,
stool
,
or
issue
out
of
any
sore
or
ulcer
.
5.
When
a
disease
suddenly
changes
,
and
runs
into
another
without
any
apparent
natural
cause
;
or
suddenly
surprizes
any
in
health
,
without
any
seeming
cause
;
as
that
Youth
mentioned
by
the
afore-quoted
Author
,
who
being
well
,
and
only
going
to
ease
himself
,
suddenly
gave
a
loud
screech
,
and
then
fell
down
as
dead
,
and
so
continued
in
spight
of
all
means
,
in
so
much
as
his
Parents
had
thoughts
of
his
Burial
;
but
being
by
one
,
wiser
than
the
rest
by
,
perswaded
to
desist
for
three
dayes
at
least
;
the
third
day
about
the
same
hour
he
was
taken
,
came
to
himself
again
;
but
with
such
intolerable
and
grievous
pains
,
&c.
such
Concussions
and
Contorsions
of
his
body
,
miserably
yelling
,
howling
,
and
exclaiming
for
three
dayes
together
,
without
intermission
;
all
that
while
neither
eating
nor
drinking
,
nor
taking
any
thing
,
but
when
they
used
strong
Ligatures
against
his
Convulsions
,
which
were
fierce
upon
him
,
&c.
till
at
length
he
evacuated
eleven
worms
of
his
own
accord
in
bed
,
of
the
length
of
a
mans
middle
finger
,
with
black
heads
,
and
innumerable
feet
,
&c.
He
continued
many
years
in
this
sad
condition
;
yet
worse
at
sometimes
than
others
of
the
Moon
.

If
any
thing

it
be

after

Of
the
Direful
Symptoms
introduced

THE
eighth
Head
which
we
promised
to
insist
on
,
is
that
Preternatural
,
that
of
right
followeth
a
Disease
,
even
as
the
shadow
doth
a
body
;
and
by
Physitians
called
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
properly
:
Yet
this
word
Symptome
,
is
variously
taken
;
for
if
we
consider
the
signification
of
the
word
,
which
the
Latins
interpret

〈◊〉
,
which
signifying
the
same
thing
,
or
an
Accident
;
so
that
whatsoever
happens
to
any
one
,
or
follows
any
thing
,
Sive

Yet
sometimes
,
it
is
generally
taken
for
all
that
happens
preternaturally
to
mans
body
,
and
to
denote
not
only
what
follows
upon
a
Disease
,
but
also
all
Diseases
and
their
causes
.
But
we
are
not
to
understand
it
in
this
latitude
,
but
distinguish
it
from
both
,
a
Disease
and
it's
Cause
.
For
a
Symptome
follows
a
Disease
,
as
the
Effect
doth
the
Cause
;
whence
it
may
also
be
denominated
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
i.
e.
Superveniens
&
Supergenitum
.
It
being
evident
,
that
that
which
Actionem
laedit
,
is
a
Disease
;
that
which
Morbum
producit
,
is
the
Cause
;
and
that
which
Morbum
consequitur
is
properly
a
Symptom
only
.
Neither
can
Symptoms
ever
assume
the
nature
of
a
Disease
,
because
they
cannot
hurt
the
actions
perse
.
Yet
many
Diseases
are
justly
termed
sometimes
,
symptomatical
,
following
other
Distempers
;
as
a
Feaver
,
when
it
follows
a
Pleurisie
,
or
Phrenitis
a
Feaver
,
which
in
themselves
however
,
are
truly
Diseases
,
and
would
be
so
accounted
,
did
they
not
depend
upon
another
.
So
that
a
Symptome
may
be
defined
,
A
preternatural
affection
which
●ollows
a
Disease
,
as
a
shadow
doth
a
body
,
●r
the
effect
the
cause
,
and
without
it
cannot
subsist
;
or
,
A
Symptome
is
an
affection
pre●ernatural
in
those
things
which
without
the
constitution
of
the
parts
,
are
necessary
to
action
,
following
somewhat
else
,
preternatural
.
Having
thus
given
you
an
hint
what
a
Symptome
is
,
I
shall
proceed
to
shew
the
many
direful
Symptoms
that

CHAP.

Of
the
Prognosticks
presaged
by
Worms
.
HAving
thus
briefly
dispatched
the
Symptomes
,
let
us
,
in
the
next
place
,
examine
the
Prognostick
Signs
of
Worms
,
that
we
may
the
more
plainly
discover
the
danger
of
them
;
and
so
,
consequently
,
be
induced
to
take
the
more
care
to
avoid
them
.
And
for
as
much
,
as
they
are
the
forerunners
and
introducers
of
those
direful
and
hideous
Symptoms
before
spoken
of
,
and
indeed
of
most
,
if
not
all
Diseases
;
they
may
very
well
be
Prognosticks
of
them
all
,
according
as
the
Party
,
and
parts
of
the
Body
are
affected
;
sometimes
threatning
this
,
sometimes
that
Distemper
;
sometimes
more
,
sometimes
fewer
Diseases
.
Of
the
three
ordinary
sorts
,
Ascarides
are
less
offensive
,
being
most
remote
from
the
Vitals
,
and
are
easily
expelled
by
the
help
of
almost
any
thing
,
[
](A57722-e61740-b)*
*
Purges
,
or
sweet
Clysters
,
any
sort
.
and
frequently
of
themselves
;
unless
they
are
large
,
which
argues
they
arise
of
worse
matter
,
and
then
they
are
worse
,
and
more
dangerous
.
Teretes
are
worse
again
,
and
occasion
most
horrid
Symptoms
oftentimes
;
if
they
come
from
any
body
on
a
Crisis
,
it
is
a
good
sign
.
But
,
if
at
the
beginning
of
a
Disease
,
it
is
bad
,
whether
they
be
evacuated
alive
or
dead
;
especially
if
alone
,
without
any
mixture
of
excrements
;
if
they
be
alive
,
it
notes
abundance
of
Crudity
,
want
of
nourishment
,
and
malignity
in
the
Distemper
;
if
dead
,
much
putrifaction
,
which
hath
kill'd
them
,
and
is
a
bad
sign
;
arguing
their
expulsion
to
be
rather
from
the
Disease
,
than
Nature
:
or
if
they
come
away
of
their
own
accord
,
it
notes
either
the
multitude
of
them
,
or
that
the
Patient
,
being
for
death
,
by
an
instinct
,
leave
●heir
habitation
to
seek
better
.
But
if
●hey
are
evacuated
on
the
declining
of
a
Disease
,
it
is
a
good
sign
;
arguing
Na●ure
prevails
,
and
that
Health
is
like
to
●nsue
,
if
they
be
emitted
together
with
●xcrements
,
especially
;
for
that
shews
●igestion
.
If
in
healthy
bodies
,
they
●reep
out
at
the
Mouth
or
Nostrils
,
it
●s
no
ill
sign
;
in
regard
,
they
are
apt
to
●ave
recourse
to
those
parts
,
through
which
the
nourishment
is
conveyed
into
●he
stomach
.
If
they
are
bloody
when
●hey
come
out
,
it
argues
the
Intrals
are
●orroded
with
them
.
The
flat-worm
is
worse
than
they
,
being
more
difficulty
cured
.
Sometimes
(
notwithstanding
it
many
times
kills
;
●ccasioning
Consumptions
,
Dropsies
,
&c.
)
it
lies
lurking
in
the
body
for
ma●y
years
,
doing
no
hurt
at
all
;
and
ma●y
times
comes
away
of
it self
,
without
●he
help
of
any
Medicine
.
Red
are
more
direful
then
White
:
and
●ll
those
monstrous
shap't
worms
,
which
●ou
have
heard
before
described
,
are
worst
of
all
.
And
so
much
the
more
pernitious
are
they
,
by
how
much
the
●ore
occult
they
are
in
our
bodies
,
and
●he
parts
affected
more
noble
;
and
especially
being
least
suspected
.
If
they
proceed
from
any
supernatural
cause
,
whether
magical
or
other
,
i●
is
doubtful
,
and
very
dangerous
;
it
being
then
inflicted
as
an
immediat●
Judgement
of
GOD
:
who
,
many
times
permits
the
Devil
,
for
the
chastening
of
Man-kind
,
so
to
torment
and
afflict
the
bodies
of
men
and
women
.
Whence
many
Distempers
,
occasioned
by
him
and
his
Imps
,
are
not
to

This
is
enough
to
be
said
of
Indications
and
Method
of
Cure
,
since
,
if
all
the
Physick
Books
in
the
World
,
and
Receipts
,
w●●●
Englished
;
there
would
still
be
a
Necessity
of
Phsitians
:
since
it
is
not
the
knowing
of
Medicines
,
but
the
knowing
how
,
and
when
〈◊〉
administer
them
,
doth
the
Cure.
If
they
proceed
of
a
supernatural
Cause
,
a
supernatural
Cure
must
be
administred
:
To
prescribe
the
fuming
o●
the
Horns
,
Hoofs
,
and
Dung
of
Beasts
,
to
drive
away
the
Devil
,
or
to
carry
Herbs
Roots
,
&c.
about
one
,
for
the
same
purpose
,
is
an
idle
Fansie
;
since
the
Devi●
is
a
Spirit
,
and
having
no
Organs
,
cannot
be
affected
or
offended
with
these
natural
things
.
If
there
be
any
Cure
attempted
in
such
Cases
,
it
must
be
either
Natural
,
Magical
,
or
Divine
.
As
touching
the
Natural
,
it
may
be
doubted
by
some
,
whether
natural
Remedies
are
avoidable
in
such
Diseases
,
as
are
occasioned
by
Devils
or
Witches
,
&c.
and
truly
in
some
Cases
,
it
is
●o
no
purpose
to
use
them
.
As
,
when
●he
Distemper
is
meerly
from
the
Devil
,
without
any
mediation
of
humours
at
all
:
But
if
it
be
by
the
mediation
of
humours
,
natural
means
may
lawfully
●e
used
,
and
many
times
,
(
it
hath
been

)
to
good
effect
.

By
eva●uating
those
vitious
humours
,
disturbed
or
corrupted
by
the
Devil
;
and
that
by

especially
,
if
the
part

the
Stomach

or

which
may
be

none

better
to

;
and
so
doth
St.
Augustin
;
The
Devil
is
the
most
inveterate
Enemy
of
Man-kind
,
and
a
murtherer
from
the
beginning
;
wherefore
,
there

SECT.
I.
Wherein
Air
is
Rectified
.
AND
thus
I
have
given
you
in
short
,
the
Indications
and
Method
of
Cure
;
to
be
as
good
as
my
word
,
I
shall
here
add
a
cautionary
word
,
how
to
prevent
their
generation
in
our
bodies
,
as
much
as
in
us
lies
,
that
so
those
direful
Symptoms
that
follow
on
them
,
may
never
take
hold
in
us
.
And
since
the
six
non-naturals
are
the
main
and
most
common
Causes
,
I
shall
close
up
this
my
Discourse
,
with
some
short
Rules
how
to
rectifie
and
mitigate
their
evil
effects
.
As
it
is
easier
to
prevent
a
Disease
,
than
to
cure
it
;
so
it
ought
to
be
a
good
Physitian
's
study
,
as
well
to
preserve
Health
where
it
is
,
as
to
restore
it
,
where
it
is
lost
.
Much
more
should
it
be
the
care
of
the
Patient
to
take
this
wholsome
advice
gratis
;
for
he
must
needs
know
,
it
proceeds
from
a
real
desire
to
do
him
good
;
since
,
if
I
sought
my
own
profit
,
I
should
in
this
particular
be
silent
,
wherein
I
shew
men
how
they
may
keep
themselves
in
Health
,
without
any
Physick
at
all
;
(
we
seldom
meeting
with
any
that
advise
with
us
,
how
they
may
keep
themselves
well
;
but
how
they
may
be
cured
when
sick
)
and
that
is
,
by
Temperance
,
a
Jewel
of
inestimable
value
,
yet
easily
purchased
;
and
cheaper
than
any
one
Disease
;
this
being
the
Issue
of
Vice
,
Disorder
and
Intemperance
.
Now
,
that
I
may
be
the
better
understood
,
I
shall
in
short
admonish
you
,
that
Health
is
nothing
else
,
but
a
power
of
the
due
exercise
of
all
the
natural
,
vital
,
and
animal
actions
of
both
Body
and
Soul
,
according
to
the
course
of
Nature
,
consisting
in
a
well
tempered
constitution
of
the
Blood
and
Spirits
,
and
of
all
the
similar
parts
,
as
also
a
proportionable
frame
and
Symetry
,
of
all
the
organical
parts
,
whereby
there
follows
a
just
number
of
every
one
,
a
due
magnitude
,
an
exact
scituation
,
passage
and
conservation
,
with
their
continuity
and
union
.
But
if
in
any
of
these
particulars
,
there
be
a
defect
,
it
is
no
longer
Health
.
The
subject
matter
of
our
Healths
(
you
have
heard
)
are
these
six
non-natural
things
,
before
spoken
of
;
being
essentially
necessary
to
it's
preservation
,
●f
rightly
used
;
and
if
abused
,
you
see
how
destructive
:
I
shall
therefore
briefly
run
them
over
;
and
shew
how
we
may
rightly
use
them
to
our
best
advantage
,
and
prolongation
of
our
Lives
,
(
and
so
conclude
this
Book
)
that
is
,
extend
them
to
their
utmost
possibility
of
subsisting
in
this
finite
world
,
with
the
least
sickness
and
inconveniency
as
may
be
.
I
am
not
of
opinion
,
that
Health
is
always
preserved
by
Meats
and
Drinks
of
the
same
temperature
of
the
body
receiving
it
;
though
,
for
the
most
part
it
be
.
For
we
see
melancholy
men
would
soon
be
destroyed
,
should
they
eat
such
melancholy
meats
,
as
have
an
Analogie
with
their
Constitutions
,
by
increasing
their
evil
habit
of
Body
;
and
therefore
such
Meats
and
Drinks
as
rather
quailfie
,
alter
,
and
correct
their
cold
and
dry
Constitutions
,
will
be
found
much
more
convenient
for
such
.
And
so
,
Mutati●
Mutandis
;
the
same
may
be
said
of
th●
Sanguine
,
Cholerick
and
Flegmatick
.
And
so
we
see
old
people
,
that
are
cold
and
dry
,
better
agree
with
Wine
that
i●
ho●
and
moist
,
than
with
other
Liquors
of
their
own
temperature
.
Also
,
tha●
Cholerick
people
are
destroyed
by
Wine
▪
Spice
,
and
Hot
Meats
.
i.e.
that
are
Potentially
so
;
and
their
Dyscracy
by
contrary
Aliments
,
amended
and
altred
.
But
as
I
have
said
before
,
somewhat
ought
to
be
allowed
Custome
,
which
is
as
a
second
nature
,
gradually
gaining
upon
us
,
by
multiplyed
actions
and
frequent
exercise
,
and
in
time
,
arriving
even
to
the
power
of
Nature
it self
.
Wherefore
,
whatsoever
a
man
is
accustomed
to
,
though
in
it's
own
nature
bad
;
yet
is
it
less
hurtful
to
him
,
than
it
's
contrary
;
working
less
resistance
,
and
consequently
,
less
disturbance
in
our
bodies
,
because
of
it's
agreement
in
equality
,
with
what
is
before
in
the
body
.
Wherefore
,
as
this
ought
rather
to
teach
us
to
enure
our selves
to
what
is
laudable
and
good
,
than
evil
:
since
it
is
so
powerful
in
it's
self
,
and
so
difficult
to
be
altred
.
So
on
he
other
side
,
we
are
not
suddenly
to
break
off
a
Custom
,
though
pernitious
,
lest
we
run
into
worse
Inconveniencies
,
then
that
would
have
afforded
us
;
for
nothing
is
more
destructive
to
mens
bodies
,
than
sudden
alterations
.
It
must
be
done
therefore
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
Gradatim
.
Nay
,
even
such
as
have
been
long
accustomed
to
Wine
,
or
other
thing
worse
,
Tobacco
,
&c.
whereby
they
have
perhaps
,
subverted
their
Healths
and
good
Temperatures
;
even
in
Feavers
,
or
any
other
Distemper
,
their
Custom
ought
to
be
indulged
,
since
otherwise
,
Nature
being
prohibited
her
delight
,
will
despond
and
yield
so
to
the
Disease
,
as
may
be
her
ruine
.
A
Physitian
therefore
,
ought
to
be
very
cautious
and
prudent
in
this
particular
,
and
not
presently
to
prohibit
all
,
and
injoin
a
strict
observation
o●
Medical
Rules
,
as
many
too
frequently
&
easily
do
,
although
there
be
no
contrariety
between
the
Disease
and
the
Custom
.
And
if
a
violent
Distemper
come
t●
any
one
,
let
him
only
prohibit
the
use
i●
quantity
of
Natures
Customes
if
evil
,
but
continue
the
quality
,
or
modera●●
use
of
them
,
and
of
Natures
longings
because
of
the
Sympathy
,
similitude
,
an●
Analogie
,
they
have
with
her self
.
Having
premised
this
,
I
shall
begi●
as
I
said
,
with
the
first
non-natural
,
A●
which
in
our
present
business
is
to
b●
considered
,
either
,
as
it
is
in
it self
,
or
i●
relation
to
the
Body
receiving
it
.
As
in
self
,
a
cleer
,
pure
,
serene
Air
is
best
and
men
Constitutions
for
the
mo●
part
,
follow
the
nature
and
temperatu●
of
the
Air
they
live
in
,
as
you
have
be●
sufficiently
shewed
before
.
But
if
it
b●

I

advise

not

be

Diet
,
Meat
and
Drink
Rectified
.
MEAT
and
Drink
,
have
been
before
largely
handled
;
I
shall
therefore
in
this
place
,
consider
them
only
in
relation
to
their
rectification
in
Substance
or
Quality
,
Quantity
,
Time
of
taking
them
,
Order
and
Custome
.
As
for
the
Quality
or
Substance
of
Meat
,
it
must
be
the
care
of
all
prudent
men
,
to
avoid
all
such
Food
or
Drink
,
as
breed
cither
a
gross
,
or
viscid
,
slimy
,
or
flegmatick
Juice
,
Crudities
that
bind
up
the
body
,
or
cause
obstructions
,
yield
a
corrupt
matter
,
or
accidentally
corrupt
our
humours
,
or
may
be
themselves
easily
converted
into
putrifaction
,
are
hard
of
digestion
,
or
hinder
concoction
,
or
being
received
into
the
stomach
,
corrupts
what
it
meets
with
there
,
&c.
If
they
will
live
free
from
these
vermin
,
and
if
they
know
not
how
to
direct
themselves
,
let
them
take
the
Direction
of
the
Learned
;
still
remembring
it
be
easie
of
digestion
and
simple
,
whereby
Nature
will
be
the
better
able
to
digest
it
,
and
being
a
Remedy
against
Intemperance
,
nothing
better
to
avoid
Crudities
;
also
Sauces
that
provoke
appetite
,
and
cause
excess
of
eating
,
are
to
be
avoided
.
Yet
respect
in
all
this
ought
to
be
had
to
the
Constitution
of
the
person
,
and
his
Customes
.
As
for
the
Quantity
,
to
prescribe
an
exact
Rule
in
this
particular
,
for
all
Ages
,
Sexes
and
Constitutions
,
when
we
see
by
experience
,
that
one
and
the
same
man
,
cannot
live
in
health
with
the
same
food
that
sufficeth
for
quantity
at
an
other
time
;
that
what
will
suffice
in
Summer
,
is
too
little
in
Winter
;
that
what
will
satiate
one
,
and
less
then
that
,
will
surfeit
another
,
should
he
eat
as
much
,
and
è
contra
,
&c.
is
not
only
an
idle
conceit
,
and
a
nicity
,
but
a
madness
:
Since
there
is
such
variety
in
mens
bodies
,
Strengths
,
Constitutions
,
Dispositions
,
and
manner
of
Living
.
The
Quantity
of
Food
then
,
ought
to
be
proportioned
by
no
other
Rule
,
How
to
know
the
exact
measure
of
meat
every
man
is
eat
.
but
the
Quality
and
Condition
of
the
Stomach
;
and
that
measure
is
exactly
proportioned
,
we
may
conclude
which
the
stomach
hath
so
much
power
over
,
as
perfectly
to
concoct
&
digest
in
the
midst
of
any
Imployment
,
either
of
body
or
mind
;
and
then
the
body
will
be
thereby
,
more
lightsome
and
refreshed
.
But
if
by
eating
we
find
our
Wits
hebitated
,
our
Fancies
and
Reasons
obscured
,
our
Appetites
satiated
,
our
Bodies
lassated
and
ingrassated
,
our
Senses
nautiated
,
our
Stomachs
replete
with
acid
&
flatulent
eructations
,
and
our
Heads
with
Catarths
,
&c.
we
may
conclude
we
have
exceeded
in
Quantity
.
Wherefore
,
in
all
our
Banquetings
and
Feastings
,
let
us
remember
that
good
Rule
,
To
rise
with
an
Appetite
;
considering
,
we
have
two
Guests
to
entertain
,
the
Body
and
the
Soul
,
and
that
therefore
we
have
a
care
,
that
we
destroy
not
the
powers
of
the
one
,
nor
the
faculties
of
the
other
.
For
though
the
Belly
have
no
Ears
,
yet
it
hath
Intelligence
to
beg
its
due
,
and
wisdom
to
discern
when
it
hath
enough
.
To
point
out
a
time
also
,
for
all
Ages
,
Constitutions
and
Conditions
of
men
,
and
limit
them
therewith
,
were
more
then
a
madness
:
Since
Custome
alters
much
,
and
labouring
men
we
know
,
can
,
and
do
eat
often
and
heartily
;
Children
also
,
being
growing
,
are
frequent
eaters
,
and
so
require
a
constant
supply
of
Aliment
;
when
such
as
are
at
maturity
that
lead
a
solitary
or
sedentary
life
,
are
weak
and
infirm
,
can
eat
but
at
their
accustomary
times
,
and
that
but
once
or
twice
in
four
and
twenty
hours
.
The
best
Guide
in
this
particular
,
is
Hunger
,
eat
not
therefore
,
till
ye
have
an
appetite
,
and
then
not
till
ye
have
none
:
For
when
appetite
excites
not
,
it
most
part
argues
,
nature
hath
not
fully
digested
the
former
meat
,
or
overcome
the
former
disorder
;
therefore
at
such
times
,
if
we
eat
at
all
,
it
ought
to
be
very
sparingly
.
This
Rule
accurately
observed
,
would
not
only
conduce
to
the
avoiding
of
worms
,
but
of
indeed
most
,
if
not
all
Diseases
;
keep
the
Bowels
clean
,
and
preserve
Health
better
by
far
,
than
Physick
.
We
must
herein
also
,
observe
our
Customes
;
for
fasting
too
long
on
the
other
side
,
is
extreamly
pernitious
,
as
was
shewed
before
.
So
that
eating
of
Break-fasts
,
and
Dinners
presently
after
,
must
needs
be
as
bad
;
since
the
former
cannot
be
digested
,
before
the
later
be
mixed
with
it
.

same
may
be
said

be
a
Right
Order
observed
in
eating
and
drinking
,
if
we
will
avoid
these
vermin
,

many
other

to
feed
on
a
simple
Diet
(
as
was
said
)
is
best
,
but
if
that
cannot
be
observed
,
let
what
is
lightest
of
digestion
,
or
empeptick
be
first
eaten
,
that
they
may
serve
to
open
the
bowels
,
and
not
last
,
to
corrupt
all
the
Aliment
,
as
we
foolishly
use
to
eat
in
Summer
time
,
Cherries
,
Plumbs
,
and
other
moist
fruits
after
Dinner
.
And
let
such

Stegnotick

Desiccative
,
such
as
Quince

Orange
Rinds

at

let
them
alone

then
mingle
them

Sleeping
and
Waking
,
Rectified
.
ELsewhere
in
Causes
,
you
have
heard
the
horrid
evils
,
ensuing
on
sleeping
and
waking
;
therefore
the
excess
of
both
are
to
be
avoided
.
In
over-watchings
,
sleep
is
to
be
procured
,
by
either
Nature
,
or
Art
;
inward
or
outward
Hypnotick
Medicines
;
for
some
think
sleep
the
chiefest
thing
in
Physick
.
The
fittest
time
is
when
the
Aliment
is
somewhat
digested
,
and
setled
at
the
bottome
of
the
stomach
.
The
best
posture
is
to
lie
on
the
right
side
,
for
so
the
Liver
rests
under
the
Stomach
,
whereby
it
is
warmed
,
and
serves
instead
of
fire
to
a
pot
,
to
help
digestion
.
After
the
first
sleep
,
it
is
most
convenient
to
turn
on
the
left
,
that
the
Aliment
may
the
better
descend
,
and
to
prevent
Crudities
,
the
mother
of
worms
,
and
many
other
Diseases
.
At
the
first
Decumbiture
,
it
is
requisite
also
,
the
body
be
laid
a
little
incurvating
with
the
legs
,
and
not
stretch'd
at
length
;
with
the
Arms
across
,
the
right
hand
upon
the
left
shoulder
,
and
the
left
upon
the
right
.
To
procure
sleep
,
it
's
best
to
remove
what
hinders
(
if
possible
)
and
then
to
use
such
convenient
Medicines
,

;
also
on
an
empty
stomach
;
immediately
after
Purges
,
Vomits
,
or
Bleeding
.
If
sleep
be
in
excess
,
the
cause
must
be
removed
also
,
as
soon
as
may
be
,
by
proper
means

well
as
this
,
proceeds
from
Idleness

Sloth
,
and
too
much
Rest
;
as
hath
been
shewed

Therefore
great
care
ought
to
be
had
,
we
use
moderate
exercise
,
ad
Ruborem
at

,
and
that
daily

though
not
ad

unless
necessity
compells

the

Nothing
better
then
walking

;
and
such
moderate
exercise

to
stir
up
natural

whatever

it

take

him
to
what

However

in

it
is
best
before

it
clears
the

excites
appetites

but
then
a

must
be
allowed
to
settle
the
humours
in

before

was
shewn
)
powerful
and
eminent
causes
of
,
not
only
worms
,
but
also
of
most
,
if
not
all
other
Diseases
;
yet
are
not
Diseases
of
the
Body
,
but
of
the
Mind
and
Soul
rather
.
So
that
here
may
seem
requisite
the
directions
of
the
Learnedst
Divines
.
But
notwithstanding
the
unncharitable
Censurers
of
the
Pharisees
of
our
times
,
who
condemn
all
as
out
of
the
Faith
,
that
agree
not
point-voire
in
every
punctilio
with
them
,
or
but
contradict
their
Fansies
.
I
say
,
notwithstanding
their
uncharitable
Censures
,
and
Condemnation
of
all
Physitians
,
as
Atheists
;
as
if
Atheism
were
an
inseparable
Companion
of
the
Profession
.
I
shall
indeavour
the
Cure
of
these
unruly
Passions
,
by
giving
some
moral
and
Divine
Antidotes
.
And
first
,
as
my
former
method
was
,
of
Anger
,
it
is
an
excellent
thing
(
to
oppose
this
mad
Passion
)
to
get
Meekness
,
Patience
and
Humility
;
for
you
shall
seldome
see
Anger
in
any
but
proud
people
,
it
being
indeed
,
the
effect
of
Pride
.
Let
's
also
examin
our selves
,
why
we
are
so
,
on
what
ground
,
what
is
the
cause
,
or
what
occasion
,
and
then
,
whether
it
be
just
or
no.
Meekness
is
a
calmness
and
quietness
of
Spirit
,
in
direct
opposition
to
Anger
;
and
may
be
exercised
towards
GOD
,
or
towards
our
Neighbour
.
As
for
that
towards
GOD
,
I
shall
say
nothing
,
since
I
think
the
vilest
of
men
dare
not
be
angry
with
him
.
That
towards
our
Neighbour
,
is
chiefly
to
be
spoken
of
;
therefore
,
let
us
labour
by
all
means
,
to
get
meekness
,
which
is
the
sobriety
of
the
mind
,
and
that
which
makes
us
both
blessed
here
,
and
hereafter
;
for
indeed
,
none
but
the
meek
injoy
this
world
,
Matth.
5.5
.
in
regard
such
as
are
prone
to
Anger
,
are
like
crazed
and
sick
people
,
who
cannot
enjoy
the
greatest
prosperities
;
for
let
all
go
never
so
well
without
,
they
spoil
all
by
creating
storms
and
tempests
within
themselves
.
Whereas
by
meekness
,
we
conquer
our selves
,
like
this
unruly
Son
of
Zervias
,
behave
our selves
like
men
,
and
gain
the
love
of
all
we
converse
with
;
nay
,
it
is
that
which
makes
us
[
](A57722-e63710-b)*
*
Mat.
11.29
.
like
Christ
himself
.
Moreover
,
as
Anger
unmans
a
man
;
so
Meekness
advances
a
mans
honour
.
This
virtue
,
I
say
,
we
owe
to
out
Neighbours
,
and
all
we
converse
with
,
viz.
such
as
may
bridle
that
mad
Anger
,
being
both
mischievous
to
them
and
our selves
,
being
especially
thereunto

injoined
,
whatever
provocations
we
meet
with
;
especially
being
that
,
which
Christ
himself
(
who
came
to
plant
peace
in
the
world
among
men
)
injoins
us
.
It
's
opposite
,
Anger
,
making
a
man
unfit
to
be
either
a
Friend
,
or
Companion
,
rendring
him
intolerable
to
all
he
[
](A57722-e63800-b)b
b
Prov.
21.19
.
converses
with
;
wherefore
,
we
ought
not
,
if
we
be
wise
,
to
have
any
thing
to
do
with
[
](A57722-e63810-b)c
c
Prov.
22.24
.
such
.
For
their
Anger
doth
not
end
usually
in
reproaches
and
opprobrious
words
,
but
breaks
for
the
most
part
,
into
Curses
also
;
and
sometimes
,
without
any
cause
at
all
;
contrary
to
the
Rule
given
us
.
[
](A57722-e63820-b)d

.
This
is
a
kind
of
Witchcraft
,
and
many
times
,
brings
us
into
the
snare
of
the
Devil
,
who
purposely
moves
and
excites
our
passions
to
destroy
us
.
Therefore
,
let
all
[
](A57722-e63840-b)e

bitterness
,
and
anger
,
and
wrath
,
and
clamour
,
and
evil
speaking
,
be
put
away
from
us
,
with
all
malice
.
Patience
and
Humility
will
work
much
the
same
on
us
,
if
we
rightly
consider
them
in
opposition
to
Anger
,
it
being
an
effect
of
Pride
.
And
truly
,
if
we
may
speak
according
to
Reason
,
and
morally
,
our
affections
are
indeed
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
unreasonable
;
but
yet
they
are
also
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
subject
to
our
own
command
.
And
therefore
,
one
chief
work
of
a
man
,
that
is
really
so
,
ought
to
be
,
to
subdue
them
.
And
although
,
through
Custome
,
this
with
other
vices
,
may
be
habitual
to
us
,
and
usurp
over
Reason
,
over-ruling
it
,
&c.
yet
is
it
not
to
be
ascribed
to
its
nature
,
or
theirs
;
but
to
our
own
neglect
and
indulgence
to
it
or
them
,
by
GOD'S
just
Judgement
,
for
our
giving
way
to
them
.
Therefore
,
in
a
moral
and
prudent
way
,
let
us
resist
the
first
assaults
,
or
occasions
of
Anger
;
if
an
Ass
kick
me
,
let
me
not
be
such
a
fool
,
as
to
kick
him
again
;
for
Reason
hath
no
place
,
if
Passion
be
once
kindled
,
and
then
Rage
will
be
too
strong
to
be
curb'd
.
2.
Consider
Anger
in
it self
,
what
a
madness
it
is
,
how
it
devests
a
man
of
Reason
;
I
,
and
Detunakes
him
too
,
and
leaves
him
naked
,
for
every
Coxcomb
to
laugh
at
,
rendring
him
rather
the
Son
of
Cerberus
,
then
Moses
.
3.
Let
us
leave
it
with
the
greatest
Celerity
that
may
be
,
lest
the
custome
of
this
Devil-like-sin
,
take
away
the
sense
of
it
.
4.
Let
us
never
shew
our
Teeth
when
we
cannot
bite
,
and
never
to
be
angry
,
therefore
with
such
as
we
cannot
oversway
and
win
by
it
;
for
to
begin
strife
,
is
more
easie
,
then
to
oppose
it
;
never
let
us
therefore
contend
,
either
with
equals
or
strangers
;
nor
with
friends
neither
,
but
in
a
friendly
way
,
lest
we
make
them
our
enemies
.
5.
In
all
our
Converses
,
it
were
well
also
,
if
we
considered
,
and
duly
weighed
the
disposition
of
the
party
,
and
his
intention
and
will
who
we
suspect
to
give
the
offence
,
or
occasion
of
Anger
,
for
if
a
Child
,
it
is
beneath
our
notice
;
or
from
an
ignorant
person
,
whether
man
or
woman
,
of
any
age
or
quality
;
for
so
,
if
we
be
angry
,
they
have
more
cause
to
be
angry
with
us
for
mistaking
of
them
:
Perhaps
he
is
a
Droll
,
let
him
alone
in
his
conceited
folly
,
and
Droll
on
;
it
may
be
his
words
come
not
from
him
with
any
intention
of
reflection
,
reflect
them
not
on
thy self
,
and
make
not
such
a
fool
of
thy self
,
as
to
make
him
wise
by
thy
application
;
when
it
may
be
,
he
spake
simply
,
if
not
,
look
upon
him
as
a
simpleton
.
If
it
be
a
Father
,
a
Friend
,
or
above
us
in
quality
,
let
us
pass
it
by
for
his
former
good
works
,
or
what
we
may
expect
from
him
;
or
let
's
do
it
on
the
account
of
Civility
to
oblige
him
.
If
a
wise
man
,
rather
distrust
thy
own
Judgement
.
If
he
be
a
good
man
,
do
not
believe
thou
art
at
all
injured
.
If
a
King
,
if
thou
art
guilty
,
confess
his
Justice
;
if
innocent
,
submit
to
thy
fates
.
If
a
Servant
,
never
be
angry
,
but
perswade
or
command
him
.
If
a
Wife
,
convince
her
with
mildness
,
or
bear
with
her
.
If
a
scurrilous
and
wicked
man
,
wonder
not
,
much
less
be
angry
;
for
one
or
other
will
repay
him
in
his
own
Coyn
again
;
besides
,
in
so
doing
,
he
will
bring
mischief
on
his
own
pate
.
If
it
be
from
GOD
,
we
lose
as
much
time
in
being
angry
,
as
in
praying
against
our
enemies
.
6.
Upon
all
occasions
of
Injury
,
seemingly
offered
,
it
were
very
well
,
if
we
would
observe
Octavian's
Lesson
,
to
repeat
the
Letters
of
the
Alphabet
,
for
diversion
;
or
rather
the
Lords
Prayer
,
that
so
Anger
being
smothered
for
the
present
;
Reason
may
have
the
more
space
to
operate
and
suppress
it
wholly
.
Or
7.
It
were
to
be
wished
we
could
say
,
as
[
](A57722-e63970-b)f
f
Architus
Tarentinus
.
one
said
to
his
Bayliff
,
If
I
were
not
angry
,
I
would
beat
thee
.
8.
That
we
would
wean
our selves
from
that
arrogancy
and
self-love
that
is
in
us
,
and
esteem
less
of
our selves
then
we
do
;
so
shall
we
never
find
an
injury
to
fasten
on
us
,
either
suddenly
or
wrongfully
.
For
it
is
only
the
too
great
conceit
we
have
of
our selves
,
that
makes
us
think
none
should
touch
us
;
and
upon
the
apprehension
thereof
,
it
being
sudden
,
we
are
presently
moved
,
for
every
man
naturally
,
hath
an
aspiring
mind
,
and
is
an
opiniator
,
aiming
at
Authority
and
Rule
over
all
.
9.
Curiosity
must
be
avoided
;
for
he
that
will
have
every
thing
neat
,
and
to
a
punctilio
,
shall
never
have
quietness
,
but
be
in
continual
wrath
:
Expect
therefore
,
from
the
best
carriages
of
Friends
,
Servants
,
Children
,
as
well
as
Enemies
,
miscarriages
,
and
let
them
pass
,
humanum
est
errare
;
for
to
commit
such
a
fault
as
Anger
,
upon
a
fault
;
and
it
may
be
,
a
trivial
one
,
is
as
great
a
fault
as
can
be
committed
,
so
that
it
is
so
far
from
amending
the
first
fault
,
that
thou
givest
him
occasion
to
chide
thee
.
10.
Remember
it
is
beneath
thee
,
and
baseness
to
be
angry
with
thy
inferiour
,
or
take
exceptions
at
his
words
or
actions
,
with
thy
Superiours
,
arrogancy
,
madness
and
folly
;
with
other
Equals
,
hazardus
:
we
should
avoid
displeasure
of
all
,
could
we
but
think
seriously
how
advantagious
such
an
one
,
with
whom
we
are
angry
,
may
be
unto
us
hereafter
;
offences
are
better
redeemed
by
merit
,
then
requited
with
wrath
;
a
soft
answer
turns
away
wrath
,
and
clemency
and
pardon
,
many
times
,
so
wins
upon
an
Enemy
,
as
he
becomes
a
perfect
good
Friend
ever
after
.
11.
Let
us
requite
good
for
evil
,
for
so
the
quarrel
ceaseth
,
when
Anger
is
but
on
one
side
,
and
he
that
is
patient
,
shall
be
sure
to
overcome
.
12.
Consider
,
Anger
is
the
worst
of
vices
,
subjecting
all
other
affections
,
nay
,
the
ferventest
love
;
for
it
hath
been
known
,
they
have
murthered
those
,
they
have
had
most
love
for
.
Nay
,
what
evil
is
it
,
that
it
will
not
plunge
us
in
?
And
truly
,
if
we
consider
its
inconveniencies
and
ruinous
nature
,
nothing
will
make
us
,
or
help
us
more
to
avoid
it
.
13.
Let
such
as
will
shew
themselves
truly
magnanimous
,
resolve
that
nothing
shall
move
them
,
whatever
befalls
them
;
for
if
a
wise
man
should
take
notice
of
all
the
mad
and
foolish
actions
of
most
men
,
he
should
never
be
quiet
,
and
so
it
would
render
a
man
most
unfortunate
and
miserable
that
is
wise
,
and
fools
would
be
more
happy
.
He
that
is
indeed
wise
,
therefore
hath
nothing
befalls
him
,
but
what
he
expected
.
Lastly
,
if
thou
canst
not
chuse
,
but
be
moved
;
let
it
not
break
forth
,
but
stifle
the
fire
in
thy
bosome
.
As
touching
Fear
(
for
I
have
,
I
fear
,
been
too
long
upon
Anger
)
of
Calamities
,
Mischances
,
and
other
accidental
inconveniencies
;
to
doubt
nothing
is
best
,
to
prepare
our selves
for
them
,
and
resist
them
.
Stultum
est
timere
quod
vitari
non
potest
,
'T
is
a
folly
to
fear
that
which
cannot
be
avoided
,
as
Death
.
Nay
,
a
man
thereby
unmans
himself
,
by
yielding
to
his
Passion
,
throws
away
his
own
Arms
,
and
pulls
many
times
,
the
evil
upon
him
he
most
feared
,
representing
that
oftner
in
his
Imagination
,
then
the
contrary
.
Let
us
rely
therefore
upon
GOD
,
and
on
him
only
,
let
us
put
our
trust
;
and
so
we
shall
not
need
to
fear
any
thing
.
As
for
Sorrow
,
there
's
no
Condition
free
;
from
him
that
sitteth
on
the
Throne
,
to
him
that
grindeth
at
the
Mill
;
even
in
the
midst
of
our
highest
Jollity
,
there
is
some
Discontent
;
our
whole
life
is
a
Glucupricon
,
a
Dulcomare
Passion
.
We
are
all
miserable
and
discontent
;
who
denys
it
?
Then
I
may
well
say
,
what
art
thou
,
that
hopest
to
go
free
?
And
why
should
we
then
be
disquieted
;
therefore
comfort
thy self
,
since
the
Calamity
is
universal
to
all
men
;
so
that
nill
we
,
or
will
we
,
it
must
be
indured
:
Therefore
,
let
's
make
a
virtue
of
necessity
,
and
resolve
to
undergo
whatever
happens
,
especially
since
we
are
taught
,
All
things
shall
work
together
for
our
good
,
if
we
love

resolve
then
,
Nihil
est

parte
beatum
.
Whatever
is
under
the
Moon
,
is
as
changeable
as
her self
,
that
never
stands
at
a
stay
;
increasing
or
decreasing
in
Health
,
Strength
,
Wealth
,
and
subject
to
many
casualties
or
misfortunes
,
as
well
from
our selves
as
others
.
But
thou
wit
say
,
None
so
unfortunate
as
thy self
.
This
is
but
thy
mistake
,
and
over-weinedness
to
thy self
;
every
man
knows
his
own
,
but
not
anothers
miseries
.
Consider
how
many
thousands
want
what
thou
hast
;
look
rather
to
such
as
are
beneath
thee
,
then
those
that
are
above
thee
,
and
compare
conditions
.

thou

Remember
the
Flesh
rebells
against
the

that
which
hurts
the
one
,
must
needs
help
the
other
,
and
it
is
for
the
good
of
the
Soul.
It
puts
us
in
mind
of
Death
and
Judgement
,
and
brings
us
out
of
our selves
,
weans
us
from
the
world
,
and
brings
us
nearer
to
GOD.
And
truly
so
it

could
we
,
when
well
,
perform
what
we
promised

sick

Art

Yet
if
we
rightly

it

Poverty
is
one
of

that
is

it

luckily
find
another
;
if
thou
mad'st
her
so
,
thou
mayest
as
cheap
,
inform
and
tutor
another
.
Therefore
,
never
despair
:
Now
thou
art
at
liberty
,
keep
thy self
so
,
never
be
in
love
with
thy
Fetters
,
though
of
Gold
;
many
a

would
have
been

confess

would
a

move

man
,
and
some
humours
;

to
a
staid
wise
man
,
these
are
nothing
:
For
he
will
counterpoise
them
with

contraries

them
familiar

they
may
be

&c.
whereby
,
neither
Fears

Cares
,
or

shall
annoy
thee
.
I
should
now
in
the
last
place
,
speak
a
word
,
as
to
the
Rectifying
of
Joy.
But
because
I
have
all
along
,
as
the
Subject
would
give
leave
,
studied
brevity
.
[
](A57722-e65220-b)*
*
And
especially
,
since
the
present
affairs
of
the
world
,
affords
not
much
Joy
to
any
,
rightly
considered
.
I
shall
here
conclude
,
since
the
nature
of
this
passion
of
Joy
being
considered
,
there
hath
been
sufficient
said
to
bridle
and
mitigate
it's
inordinance
,
sprinkled
here
and
there
,
among
the
good
Sayings
and
Counsels
,
for
the
Rectification
of
Anger
and
Sorrow

An
Appendix
.
Touching
some
things
in
the
Book
unpreliminated
in
the
Epistle
.
THat
my
Reader
may
be
Encincted
with
Reason
able
to
Renix
the
Halucinations
of
that
Pangenerical
evil
of
Envy
and
Ignorance
,
which
is
a
Cacoethick
Malady
;
But
especially
that
he
may
injoy
an
Orthostadian
Judgement
,
and
not
be
Depasct
with
that
Truculent
Credulity
which
proves
Sontick
to
most
men
,
and
an
assured
Prodromos
of
Ruine
;
I
thought
it
not
amiss
here
to
aedepize
some
things
,
and
Indigitate
thee
,
wherefore
others
in
this
Book
are
handled
in
that
manner
they
are
:
Whereby
I
doubt
not
,
but
the
Judicious
will
Suffragate
for
me
,
and
Parastate
for
my
Integrity
and
Candor
in
't
.
It
's
Dispesct
into
ten
Heads
,
in
which
,
though
the
Discourse
be
chiefly
suited
to
the
Helmintick
Meridian
;
yet
the
Ingenious
and
diligent
Reader
may
find
the
Analysis
of
many
Doubts
,
both
in
Physicks
and
Medicks
in
general
,
and
that
out
of
this
Discourse
,
the
whole
Art
doth
as
it
were
Expullulate
,
as
also
cast
an
uncorrugated
Aspect
on
the
most
Epidemical
Diseases
now
Reigning
and
Inquinating
humane
bodies
Metaptotically
,
and
Metastatically
.
The
Periphery
of
my
Discourse
,
ought
therefore
to
be
look'd
on
as
the
Extine
Parts
,
which
yet
serve
for
compleating
the
whole
.
The
Scorby
not
more
familiar
to
our
Bodies
in
this
,
then
in
former
Ages
.
And
although
there
is
a
great
Hue-and-Cry
after
the
Scorby
,
most
people
being
judged
to
be
therewith
affected
now
of
late
years
,
in
which
I
confess
,
there
is
very
much
of
truth
;
(
as
I
have
shewed
all
along
in
the
Book
)
yet
should
we
examin
the
Aera
of
that
Distemper
,
we
shall
find
it
an
Endemial
Malady
to
us
in
England
,
and
all
Maritine
Places
,
and
Northern
Countreys
;
the
very
temperature
of
the
Air
in
such
places
,
being
sufficient
to
dispose
our
Blood
,
Humours
and
Ferments
that
Respire
in
it
,
to
such
a
Dyscrasy
;
But
why
it
should
now
be
Interpolated
more
then
at
other
times
,
I
know
not
;
or
why
we
must
needs
impute
the
Cause
of
almost
all
Distempers
thereunto
,
and
their
Cure
to
the
Alleviation
of
the
Scorby
,
wherein
no
man
can
be
indeed
,
accounted
healthy
or
wise
,
that
is
not
Scorbutick
Naturally
.
(
according
to
my
distinction
of
Natural
Melancholy
)
Because
the
Blood
is
more
depurated
and
mundified
by
Scorbutick
Ferments
,
than
any
other
:
Whence
the
Spirits
,
both
Vital
and
Animal
,
become
more
denubilated
,
pure
and
sublime
.
Some
may
perhaps
Opi●e
(
As
it
is
the
vain
conceit
of
most
,
Why
the
Author
multiplies
not
Receipts
in
his
Discourse
of
Cures
;
and
of
Cacopoick
and
Blaptick
Practitioners
of
Physick
.
they
can
cure
themselves
,
if
they
understood
but
Books
)
I
have
been
too
sparing
in
the
Therapeutick
part
,
and
have
not
communicated
so
many
Receipts
as
they
desire
;
I
shall
clear
my self
by
this
Paradigm
:
admit
a
Child
should
cry
for
somewhat
that
the
Parent
,
or
he
that
hath
Charge
of
it
,
knows
would
be
extreamly
Thanasimal
,
if
not
Deleterial
,
would
you
not
very
much
tax
,
or
call
in
question
the
Parents
or
Rulers
Judgement
,
Discretion
,
Wisdome
,
Care
and
love
to
the
Child
?
Even
so
would
a
DOCTOR
,
a
Teacher
of
others
,
if
he
should
furnish
his
Patients
with
Receipts
and
Medicines
for
their
Destruction
only
to
please
their
Idle
Fansies
.
Receipts
,
not
sufficient
to
make
a
Physitian
,
or
so
much
as
a
Practitioner
.
For
it
is
not
the
knowledge
of
Medicines
,
but
the
Adapting
them
pro
Re
nata
that
makes
the
Physitian
;
and
how
can
any
one
then
,
ignorant
in
the
Phisiological
part
of
Medicks
be
the
better
,
should
he
have
all
the
Receipts
in
the
world
done
into
English
,
or
vernaculated
:
Let
men
be
cautious
therefore
,
how
they
make
use
of
Illiterates
,
Quacks
,
Mountebanks
,
and
such
bold
Intruders
;
much
more
how
they
adventure
on
Receipts
themselves
.
I
have
therefore
only
given
you
the
Indications
and
Method
of
Cure
in
general
;
and
(
as
I
think
becomes
me
)
reserv'd
the
judging
of
your
present
Condition
to
some
DOCTOR
,
that
can
rationally
advise
;
since
it
is
impossible
for
any
man
,
amids
so
many
various
Complications
of
Diseases
that
daily
occur
,
and
where
not
two
of
twice
two
hundred
,
are
taken
in
the
same
manner
in
all
Respects
,
and
from
the
same
Cause
,
to
give
an
exact
Rule
of
Cure
in
any
Distemper
whatsoever
.
For
although
impudent
Intruders
,
and
Quacks
venture
on
all
things
rashly
,
and
at
a
distance
,
their
Ignorance
not
being
able
to
detect
the
Danger
;
yet
a
sober
and
rational
Physitian
,
will
do
nothing
till
he
hath
seen
his
Patient
,
considered
the
Distemper
,
weighed
every
Circumstance
for
Denudating
and
Expunging
the
Cause
.
For
if
the
Body
be
Cacochymick
,
it
must
be
by
rational
means
,
reduced
to
an
Euchymick
Constitution
,
by
refraining
Stegnoticks
and
Stypticks
,
Pygnoticks
,
Emphracticks
,
Dyspepticks
,
Hologotrophicks
,
and
the
like
.
And
using
orderly
and
rationally
Secundum
Artem
,
and
from
the
hand
of
one
that
is
INDEED
A
DOCTOR
,
Learned
and
able
to
advise
Analepticks
,
Araioticks
,
Chalasticks
,
Leptynticks
,
Ecphracticks
,
Pepticks
,
Eupepticks
,
and
Threpticks
.
And
so
if
the
Case
be
of
another
Nature
;
as
in
Astma's
,
Phthisis
,
&c.
Bechicks
are
to
be
administred
;
in
some
Cephalick
Distempers
Ptarmicks
are
admitted
,
in
others
rejected
;
in
many
Distempers
of
Women
,
Hemenagogicks
prove
an
absolute
Cure.
When
the
Viscera
are
Emphracted
,
Rupticks
alone
avail
,
or
such
as
may
malax
them
.
Thus
I
could
instance
almost
in
every
Disease
,
to
shew
you
that
the
Practice
of
Physick
is
of
more
weight
,
then
the
major
part
of
men
illiterate
do
imagine
,
whilst
they
rashly
adventure
their
lives
with
Empericks
,
and
the
like
;
only
on
the
bare
ridiculous
boasts
of
such
Intruding
Quacks
Experience
;
when
the
truth
is
,
all
rational
men
must
needs
know
they
can
never
have
experience
in
anything
of
Physick
.
Aristotle
defines
Experience
thus
,
[
](A57722-e65420-b)*
*
Metaph.
lib.

Experientia
Singularium
Cognitio
est
.
Now
if
Experience
consists
in
the
knowledge
of
every
Particular
in
the
thing
experimented
,
and
will
easily
appear
,
Ignorant
Practioners
in
Physick
can
never
have
Experience
.
these
bold
fellows
can
never
have
that
Experience
they
so
vaunt
of
.
Something
I
must
say
also
,
touching
the
Scheme
of
some
very
strange
Microcosmical
Helmintick
Vermin
,
How
worms
of
strange
forms
come
to
be
in
us
.
which
may
seem
to
some
incredible
;
but
I
shall
only
say
thus
much
,
it
will
not
be
strange
to
any
man
,
that
such
deformed
,
monstrous
productions
should
be
in
us
,
who
but
considereth
,
that
both
by
the
Air
,
our
Meats
and
Drinks
,
the
Salts
and
Semenalties
of
several
Insects
,
may
be
infused
and
conveyed
into
us
,
and
allegated
with
our
Blood
,
(
which
(
as
I
have
said
at
the
Liminare
of
my
Discourse
)
although
subjugated
by
the
power
of
our
Spirits
,
and
incarserated
so
,
that
they
cannot
for
some
time
execute
their
own
Operations
,
nor
instantly
Denudate
themselves
;
yet
upon
the
disorders
of
our
Bodies
,
or
accosting
a
Disease
,
they
combat
most
furiously
.
Worms
not
more
frequent
,
or
of
greater
concernment
now
,
then
in
former
ages
.
Neither
would
I
be
mistaken
,
when
I
assert
WORMS
in
any
place
of
the
Book
to
be
Causes
of
other
Feral
Maladies
,
as
if
I
held
them
only
so
now
in
our
Age
;
and
not
formerly
even
in
all
Ages
.
Or
that
now
they
do
more
frequently
shew
themselves
in
us
,
than
in
times
past
.
Or
that
they
do
any
way
alter
the
Nature
of
Diseases
so
,
from
what
they
ever
were
,
as
the
Method
of
Cure
set
down
by
the
Antients
,
is
now
to
be
accounted
invallid
.
But
,
as
they
are
of
general
concernment
,
we
may
not
pass
them
with
that
negligence
we
do
those
in
the
Field
or
Dunghill
.
Sith
(
as
you
have
heard
)
they
may
expullulate
from
any
Chyme
in
the
Body
.
Neither
do
I
deny
them
to
be
oft-times
an
Effect
and
Symptome
of
divers
Diseases
,
That
they
are
Effects
as
well
as
Causes
.
especially
Putrid
Feavers
,
Cachexia's
,
Consumptions
,
&c.
as
well
as
a
Cause
.
Touching
Ferments
,
which
I
often
hint
at
,
though
by
Gallenists
too
much
slighted
,
as
among
the
Spagerists
as
much
admired
.
Yet
as
I
said
,
if
we
were
but
well
acquainted
with
every
Chyme
and
Juice
in
our
Bodies
,
how
they
are
most
of
them
replete
with
Sulphurious
and
Saline
parts
,
and
that
there
are
many
Sulphurious
Saits
in
us
,
as
well
as
Acid
of
a
strange
Nature
,
especially
in
the
Stomach
(
the
part
first
affected
almost
in
every
Distemper
)
which
doth
strangely
,
and
by
a
peculiar
property
Chylefie
the
Aliment
of
what
nature
soever
in
a
very
short
time
,
such
is
the
Power
of
that
Menstruum
(
whether
sent
from
the
Spleen
out
of
the
Mass
of
Blood
by
the
Arteries
,
or
from
some
other
part
)
as
all
the
fire
in
the
world
can
never
do
.
Even
as
Mercury
dissolves
Gold
,
and
Aqua-fortis
Iron
,
and
almost
all
other
Mettals
,
and
yet
will
not
fix
upon
Gold
,
more
than
Mercury
on
a
more
porous
Body
.
I
say
,
if
this
be
considered
and
weighed
,
and
the
Energy
of
Microcosmical
Salts
,
and
that
they
may
,
and
do
work
variously
one
on
the
other
,
we
shall
find
them
(
the
Blood
and
Urin
abounding
with
Sulphurious
Salts
)
to
have
much
more
power
in
Causing
Diseases
,
than
the
first
Qualities
.
Which
notwithstanding
,
whilst
they
allay
each
other
,
make
no
disturbance
;
but
if
they
grow
predominant
,
and
sever
from
the
rest
,
a
strange
Ebulition
and
Fermentation
is
made
,
or
rather
a
perturbed
motion
of
the
Menstruums
Corpuscles
,
as
we
see
in
Feavers
certain
Effervescences
in
the
Blood
,
without
Fermentation
at
all
;
where
by
the
way
,
we
may
observe
,
't
is
not
Heat
alone
,
is
the
chief
Efficient
of
Digestion
;
for
Fishes
that
have
little
or
no
Heat
,
do
yet
strangely
,
by
that
Acid
Menstruum
in
their
Ventricles
,
depasce
their
Aliment
so
,
as
to
become
Threptick
.
And
it
is
also
known
that
the
Alcohol
of
Wine
,
being
anatically
allegated
with
Spirit
of
Urin
,
migrate
immediately
into
a
Stone
,
even
as
powder
of
Alabaster
,
tyed
up
in
a
Rag
,
and
thrown
into
a
Bason
of
Water
.
Just
so
do
Microcosmical
Salts
work
strange
Effects
in
us
,
when
they
fall
foul
one
on
another
.
Whence
also
we
may
note
,
that
the
Stone
is
not
only
ingendred
of
an
Emplastick
Humour
,
as
it
were
Torrified
and
Pugnotified
by
the
Heat
of
the
Body
,
and
Siccity
of
the
Part
affected
,
but
rather
by
the
petrifying
qualitie
,
and
the
abundance
of
those
parts
in
the
matter
accosting
a
fit
Menstruum
.
To
which
we
may
add
,
there
are
two
sorts
of
Ferments
,
as
that
worthy
Dr.
Willis
[
](A57722-e65560-b)*

notes
.
The
first
is
wonderfully
Energetical
in
all
it's
Particles
,
and
vigorously
active
in
all
it's
motions
;
so
as
that
it
may
be
indeed
termed
absolute
,
in
that
whatever
it
is
Allegated
with
,
that
admits
of
Fermentation
,
although
never
so
dull
and
unactive
before
,
it
so
agitates
the
Particles
thereof
,
as
to
carry
all
with
it
in
its
own
Motions
.
The
other
consists
of
Particles
of
one
certain
kind
,
which
will
only
ferment
the
Particles
of
the
Body
of
another
particular
Nature
,
when
they
accost
each
other
,
and
so
is
rather
Respective
;
as
we
see
Salt
of
Worm-wood
with
the
Juice
of
Lemons
;
and
Salt
of
Tartar
with
the
Spirit
of
Vitriol
Ferment
effectually
,
and
so
do
all
fluid
Salts
with
fixed
,
as
when
Acide
Liquors
are
poured
on
Harts-horn
,
Coral
,
Steel
,
&c.
or
Spirit
of
Niter
,
on
Butter
of
Antimony
;
for
it
is
not
any
Sulphurious
matter
will
hebitate
the
Acuity
of
sharp
Liquors
,
but
a
Salin
;
as
we
see
in
the
Cure
of
the
Gout
,
Scorby
,
Spleenitick
,
and
Hypochondriack
Affections
,
the
Acidity
and
Acrimony
of
the
Blood
extreamly
check'd
and
Dulcified
by
Tartarous
Medicines
.
So
the
simple
Juice
of
Barberries
or
Lemons
,
will
quickly
dissolve
Coral
and
Pearl
,
and
Vinager
Coral
and
Lapis
Cancrorum
.
And
that
Honourable
person
,
the
learned
and
judicious
Mr.
Boyle
,

tells
us
of
a
certain
Menstruum
or
Tincture
drawn
from
Rye
or
Wheat-Bread
,
which
will
effectually
extract
a
Tincture
from
Pretious
Stones
,
Minerals
,
&c.
which
perhaps
,
a
stronger
of
another
Nature
,
will
not
do
;
as
we
see
fluid
Salts
quickly
dilute
,
making
not
the
least
Ebulition
;
whereas
the
fixed
and
fluid
Salts
meeting
,
do
most
furiously
.
So
the
violent
Emetick
and
Cathartick
qualities
of
Antimony
are
destroyed
by
Calcining
it
only
with
Salt-Peter
:

Emetick
quality
,
is
also
taken
away
,
and
converted
into
a
Diuretick
,
by
only

;
which
boyling
in

not

.
Divers
other
Instances
I

give

Illucidate

wayes

Chymes
and
Humours

by
this
,
not

or

thing
;
