exact_o according_a to_o the_o prototype_n of_o that_o kind_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v i_o conceive_v all_o brute_n to_o be_v generate_v both_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o their_o distinct_a species_n

notwithstanding_o this_o darkness_n of_o my_o way_n i_o must_v adventure_v to_o go_v a_o little_a far_o in_o it_o and_o endeavour_v to_o explain_v 1_o what_o the_o substance_n of_o a_o sensitive_a

of_o it_o as_o to_o the_o first_o then_o it_o seem_v high_o probable_a that_o a_o sensitive_a soul_n be_v not_o a_o pure_a spirit_n such_o as_o the_o rational_a soul_n of_o man_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a

by_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n but_o that_o it_o do_v both_o act_n and_o suffer_v in_o the_o body_n be_v most_o evident_a from_o its_o sensation_n of_o external_a object_n from_o its_o affect_n

itself_o immediate_o consist_v 3._o that_o the_o crudity_n of_o humour_n generate_a that_o ferment_n and_o consequent_o fever_n do_v consist_v chief_o in_o this_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o our_o

contingent_a in_o the_o begin_n of_o a_o febrile_a paroxysm_n may_v be_v most_o commodious_o refer_v to_o the_o aforesaid_a conflict_n or_o colluctation_n betwixt_o the_o expansive_a endeavour_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n and_o the_o opposite_a clamminess_n of_o the_o febrile_a ferment_n and_o 2._o that_o the_o symptom_n succeed_v in_o the_o augment_v state_n and_o declination_n may_v be_v with_o equal_a congruity_n solve_v by_o the_o same_o hypothesis_n in_o the_o four_o 1._o that_o the_o cardinal_a difference_n of_o fever_n be_v most_o probable_o derive_v from_o the_o different_a ferment_n that_o induce_v they_o immediate_o 2._o that_o the_o origin_n of_o all_o fever_n simple_o putrid_a i._n e._n free_a from_o all_o malignity_n may_v be_v most_o congruous_o deduce_v mediate_o from_o

when_o inquinate_v by_o crude_a chyle_n do_v not_o present_o conceive_v a_o fermentation_n but_o after_o some_o time_n and_o by_o degree_n 4._o that_o in_o intermittent_a fever_n the_o matter_n of_o each_o single_a fit_a be_v not_o generate_v anew_o but_o come_v from_o a_o general_a foam_n existent_a in_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o solid_a part_n imperfect_o nourish_v with_o crude_a

fever_n 6._o that_o the_o analogous_a humour_n of_o the_o ancient_n result_n from_o various_a crudity_n mix_v with_o the_o blood_n and_o that_o from_o thence_o arise_v various_a sort_n of_o fever_n namely_o biliose_fw-la pituitose_n and_o melancholic_a 7._o that_o the_o division_n of_o fever_n into_o continual_a and_o intermittent_a do_v immediate_o depend_v upon_o the_o fermentation_n sometime_o continual_a sometime_o cease_v and_o recur_v diverse_o by_o interval_n 8._o that_o a_o intermittent_a fever_n simple_a be_v not_o the_o direct_a cause_n of_o a_o intermittent_a double_a or_o triple_a in_o the_o five_o and_o last_o 1._o that_o to_o the_o maturation_n of_o the_o crude_a matter_n be_v require_v three_o thing_n viz._n dissipation_n and_o consumption_n of_o the_o unexcited_a spirit_n therein_o remain_v moderation_n of_o the_o fermentation_n already_o begin_v and_o conservation_n of_o the_o vital_a faculty_n 2._o that_o in_o order_n to_o safe_a and_o
