B01805	In speculo teipsum contemplare Dr. Black. A looking-glass for the black band of doctors VVherein may be seen the ignorance and malice of these physicians, who have clubbed under the name of Dr. Black, for suppressing by their scriblings, and other calumnies, so great a benefite to the world, to the new game of rivers. / Contained in a 2d. letter written by Philander to his friend in the countrey Philomathes. In defence of Dr. Brown.	Brown, Andrew, M.D.	1692 (1692)	Wing B5008; ESTC R216736	29,021	60

but where the Senses discover it pray with which of the Senses did e●er these acute Drs. discover the same in the Blood if all the World must believe against their Sences with these subtile Doctors pray let them ●sher in Transubstantiation next for they have broken the great But that kept it out 4ly They say This Irritation makes the Heart contract it self without respect to a final Cause This is a clear Repugnancy for all Irritations in the Parts when they are are Preter-natural Motions from Preter-natural Causes and are raised to rid the Partes offended of the Irritating Marter and here Nature may be said not very Improperly to Act for an end yea and if such an Irritation as this were Competent to the Heart in its Natural Motion it clearly implayes the like acting for an end the ●ne end quite distinct from that Implyed in Dr. Brown's Vindicatorie schedule for indeed their Hypothesis obliges the Heart to throw out the Blood to be rid of it as a Grievance which is no sooner done than like Sysiphus Labour maliciou● Nature sends in another Dash or Squirt to vex it and this being perpetua● puts the Heart in a Continual Chaff at the poor Blood which comes no sooner into the Heart but as a troublesome Guest is immediatly thrown out into the Arteries Irritating them likewise which presently sends it a packing into the Veins which having al 's little Kindness for it are at Continual toil to send it back again to the Heart Where it gets al 's little rest One would think the poor Blood is followed with Hue and Cry and that Nature is at a Fox hunting with it from Hill to Dail back and forward and at Death the Blood having lost its Legs is Catched and so the Game ends Risum teneatis amici But to be serious about their Irritation and Vi●●lnce there two principles of Natural Motion I pray you Witty Club what violents the Heart to Dilatation and I●ritats it to Contraction when it beats being out of the Body of some Animals without any Blood coming in or going out This one Instance if they had read Dr. Brown's Book with any more Attention than the Parats speaks Words would never have suffered them to slipt so fouly There offering to Answer the Book being an Assirmation that they have read it I will not offer to Contradict it as being loath to call them both Fools and Liars but one of them they must surely be Next they say That the Pulse that strickes the Finger is nothing but the Dilatation of the Arteries occasioned by the Contraction of the heart which is granted Then they add for Dr. Brown to say that in a Fever the Pulses are more frequent and yet to say the Circuit Motion of the Blood is more sl●w is great non-sense O brutish Ignorance for first this last Assertion is no wayes consequentiall to the former tho they bring it in Consequence thereof and next any that considers the matter will find the last Assertion a plain falshood for to say in a F●ve● the Circuit Motions of the Blood is m●re slow and yet the Pulse more frequent is al● good Sense as to say that the stroakes of a Pump may be doubled and yet the Water come out more slowly than at other times it does by single stroaks And this Phenomenon in the Pump is obvious to the Senses with its Cause for if either the Liquor Pumpe● be more viscuous or if the Top-hole be not clear the frequent agitation of the Pump will pour out less Liquor than the moderat working thereof when the Liquor is sufficiently tenuious and thin and the Top-hole clear As also the short and thick stroaks of a Pump pours out less Water then long and rare stroaks do even so the Pulse of the Heart and Arteries altho more than usual frequent may convey less Blood into the Veins when the Blood it self is more gross or the Passages betwixt them obstructed or not sufficiently Patent then a lesser frequency of the Pulse does when the Blood or Passages are not under these Faults And it 's clear that the Pulse is less frequent in health because after the Arteries by their Dilatation have beat the touch they are Contracted very near their Centre and do expel into the Veins almost all the Contained Blood so in the subsequent Dilatation as moving more space viz. From the Centre to the Circum●erence they most of necessity take more time to Dilate and Consequently seldomer beat the touch than in the Case where the Blood is with difficulty admitted from the Arteries into the Veins because then they Contract Less much of the Contained Blood remaining hinders their Coats from coming so near their Centre as in the former Case and so their Terms or Bounds of Contraction and Dilatation being near they are moved from the bound of their Contraction unto the bound of their Dilatation strick the Touch sooner and in less time so the space betwixt every Pulse is Commensurat by and proportionat to the greater or lesser Contraction a great Contraction making still a rare Pulse and a lesser a frequent one And a clear resemblance of this is seen in Respiration which in the Natural mode is more slow and more Aire received into the Lungs and more expelled at every turn of Respiration and then the Breast also Dilated and Contracted more th●n in frequent and short Respiration where less Air is received and less expelled at every turn and the Breast also less Dilated and Cnntracted much like the former Phenomenon in the Pump where short thick strokes poureth out less Water than long and rare ones do And in the Motion of the Blood the Heart furnishes the quantity to the Arteries in proportion only as the Arteries are Emptied into the Veins which in the Natural State when the Circuit Motion is perfotmed Vegetly may be a Dram or more but when that Motion is Torpid and Lo●tering and the Blood with difficulty passes from the Arteries into the Veins the Heart at every Pulse conveyes so much Blood into the Arteries only as they by emptying themselves into the Veins have made room for which may sometimes be very little for in Agonizing or Expiring Persons where the Pulse beats the Touch with the greatest frequency imaginable it 's because the Contraction is so little and consequently the blood squized out of the Arteries so very little that the Dilatation is again immediately felt on the Touch and this is so frequent that it is rather called a Tremulous Motion of the Arteries than a distinct Pulse consisting of sensible Contraction and Dilatation But according to the Hypothesis of the Grand Club the Blood should then Circulat more rapidly than which there can be no thing invented more Ridiculous In Consequence of all by the leave of that Learned Crew of Ignorant Black Doctors it 's very good Sense and Reason both to say that the frequenter the Pulse beats the Circuit Motion
