difference_n that_o the_o first_o degree_n furnish_v we_o with_o and_o general_a division_n of_o those_o that_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o second_o 3._o what_o may_v be_v understand_v by_o

the_o difference_n of_o the_o pox_n it_o be_v good_a to_o acquaint_v you_o that_o i_o do_v not_o conceive_v any_o different_a species_n of_o it_o nor_o own_o any_o sanguine_a choleric_a phlegmatic_a and_o melancholic_a one_o as_o some_o man_n have_v inconsiderate_o do_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_n do_v always_o esteem_v it_o as_o the_o same_o in_o what_o degree_n and_o whatsoever_o subject_n it_o may_v be_v find_v since_o it_o be_v always_o produce_v by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o cause_n that_o always_o act_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n and_o produce_v different_a effect_n according_a to_o the_o various_a disposition_n of_o the_o part_n that_o receive_v its_o action_n this_o be_v once_o presuppose_v you_o will_v easy_o grant_v that_o the_o difference_n of_o this_o disease_n can_v only_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o diversity_n of_o its_o degree_n that_o be_v to_o say_v from_o the_o time_n that_o its_o matter_n have_v be_v receive_v from_o the_o progress_n that_o it_o have_v make_v and_o from_o the_o accident_n that_o it_o produce_v 2._o though_o i_o consider_v the_o time_n that_o the_o venereal_a matter_n have_v be_v receive_v for_o one_o degree_n from_o whence_o some_o difference_n of_o the_o pox_n may_v be_v draw_v and_o that_o some_o author_n do_v think_v to_o ascertain_v the_o prognostic_n of_o it_o by_o the_o consequence_n they_o thence_o draw_v yet_o it_o must_v be_v acknowledge_v that_o they_o be_v of_o no_o great_a consideration_n for_o though_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o this_o disease_n be_v either_o new_a or_o inveterate_a according_a to_o the_o more_o or_o less_o time_n it_o have_v be_v contract_v yet_o one_o can_v judge_v for_o all_o that_o of_o the_o easiness_n difficulty_n or_o impossibility_n of_o its_o cure_n because_o this_o same_o matter_n be_v more_o or_o less_o active_a according_a to_o its_o quality_n or_o quantity_n or_o else_o according_a to_o the_o particular_a disposition_n of_o the_o body_n in_o which_o it_o enter_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a as_o i_o have_v already_o observe_v that_o it_o become_v more_o venomous_a &_o consequent_o more_o penetrant_fw-la &_o subtle_a when_o it_o have_v have_v duration_n in_o the_o change_n that_o may_v be_v make_v of_o it_o from_o different_a subject_n and_o the_o great_a quantity_n of_o it_o do_v very_o much_o advance_v the_o disorder_n it_o be_v able_a to_o make_v in_o every_o particular_a person_n to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v that_o it_o act_v the_o more_o sudden_o when_o it_o be_v excite_v by_o the_o heat_n that_o be_v find_v in_o the_o temperament_n of_o choleric_a or_o sanguine_a body_n which_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o dispose_v to_o suffer_v its_o insinuation_n as_o their_o pore_n and_o other_o passage_n be_v natural_o more_o open_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v sometime_o so_o fix_v and_o shut_v up_o in_o the_o cold_a or_o gross_a humour_n of_o phlegmatic_a or_o melancholic_a person_n that_o it_o can_v lie_v there_o a_o long_a time_n like_o fire_n under_o ash_n and_o experience_n let_v we_o see_v that_o it_o can_v lurk_v 10_o or_o 12_o year_n before_o any_o effect_n of_o its_o motion_n will_v be_v feel_v whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o three_o circumstance_n i_o relate_v do_v chief_o depend_v on_o the_o examination_n that_o ought_v to_o be_v make_v on_o the_o progress_n it_o have_v already_o make_v and_o the_o accident_n it_o have_v produce_v for_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o first_o circumstance_n the_o particular_a or_o universal_a pox_n may_v be_v judge_v of_o and_o this_o distinction_n be_v of_o such_o importance_n to_o the_o right_a prognostic_n of_o the_o easiness_n or_o difficulty_n of_o its_o cure_n that_o it_o let_v we_o see_v in_o what_o degree_n particular_a or_o common_a remedy_n may_v suffice_v or_o whether_o the_o strong_a and_o more_o general_a be_v also_o necessary_a 3._o before_o we_o pass_v further_o it_o seem_v very_o proper_a to_o explicate_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o this_o difference_n that_o i_o may_v let_v you_o see_v how_o it_o do_v not_o serve_v only_o to_o distinguish_v the_o degree_n of_o this_o disease_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o any_o way_n contrary_a to_o what_o i_o say_v of_o it_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o chapter_n i_o do_v call_v then_o a_o particular_a pox_n when_o its_o matter_n do_v continue_v fix_v to_o some_o part_n which_o suffer_v it_o to_o be_v dress_v and_o cure_v with_o particular_a remedy_n external_a or_o topical_a and_o for_o which_o those_o be_v employ_v chief_o that_o be_v call_v general_n or_o internal_a as_o well_o as_o to_o hinder_v the_o progress_n it_o may_v make_v by_o the_o penetration_n of_o its_o salt_n such_o be_v for_o example_n the_o venereal_a ulcer_n and_o chancre_n or_o else_o clap_v and_o virulent_a gonorrheas_n and_o which_o i_o call_v the_o pox_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o name_v before_o because_o they_o be_v all_o of_o they_o production_n of_o a_o impure_a contact_n and_o of_o some_o venereal_a matter_n receive_v of_o which_o all_o the_o effect_n may_v be_v observe_v though_o it_o do_v still_o adhere_v to_o some_o particular_a part_n as_o well_o as_o when_o it_o be_v disperse_v over_o all_o the_o body_n for_o the_o coagulation_n and_o corruption_n that_o i_o have_v say_v do_v happen_v by_o it_o in_o the_o liquid_a substance_n may_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o seed_n that_o run_v in_o virulent_a gonorrheas_n or_o else_o in_o the_o fixation_n of_o the_o juice_n that_o nourish_v the_o part_n in_o which_o the_o venereal_a ulcer_n be_v that_o do_v by_o this_o mean_v degenerate_a into_o chancre_n or_o carnosity_n the_o prick_n gnaw_a or_o dry_v up_o of_o the_o flesh_n may_v be_v also_o observe_v in_o the_o beginning_n augmentation_n and_o change_n of_o these_o same_o ulcer_n in_o a_o word_n the_o elevation_n rottenness_n and_o corruption_n of_o solid_a part_n be_v sometime_o the_o consequent_n of_o these_o first_o evil_n when_o they_o happen_v upon_o bone_n or_o cartilaginous_a part_n in_o so_o much_o that_o you_o may_v hence_o see_v with_o how_o much_o reason_n i_o do_v reckon_v they_o for_o degree_n of_o the_o pox_n since_o it_o be_v common_o by_o then_o that_o it_o be_v find_v to_o begin_v and_o they_o be_v almost_o never_o see_v to_o advance_v into_o a_o high_a degree_n when_o they_o ar●_n dress_v as_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v i_o do_v acknowledge_v nevertheless_o that_o this_o name_n of_o the_o pox_n be_v at_o first_o give_v to_o this_o disease_n only_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o resemblance_n that_o be_v think_v to_o be_v between_o it_o and_o the_o small_a pox_n through_o their_o spot_n and_o pustules_fw-la and_o it_o seem_v consequent_o that_o this_o name_n shall_v then_o only_o belong_v to_o it_o when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o degree_n that_o produce_v they_o but_o we_o must_v observe_v that_o it_o often_o pass_v from_o one_o degree_n to_o another_o almost_o insensible_o so_o that_o sometime_o it_o can_v proper_o deserve_v that_o name_n if_o we_o stick_v close_o to_o this_o circumstance_n beside_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o name_n do_v not_o establish_v the_o essence_n of_o disease_n and_o it_o matter_n not_o how_o this_o disease_n be_v call_v provide_v that_o it_o be_v consider_v as_o always_o of_o one_o species_n according_a to_o my_o opinion_n 4._o when_o the_o venereal_a salt_n be_v subtle_a enough_o to_o penetrate_v through_o the_o pore_n without_o stay_v in_o the_o place_n through_o which_o they_o pass_v as_o have_v be_v see_v in_o some_o person_n or_o rather_o when_o they_o there_o stop_v and_o cause_v the_o particular_a pox_n of_o which_o i_o have_v speak_v without_o the_o person_n take_v care_n notwithstanding_o to_o oppose_v its_o insinuation_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o fit_a remedy_n that_o drive_v or_o attract_v from_o within_o outward_o they_o then_o cause_n what_o i_o call_v the_o universal_a pox_n by_o insinuate_v into_o the_o vessel_n that_o contain_v the_o blood_n and_o spread_v universal_o over_o all_o the_o body_n by_o the_o circulation_n they_o who_o have_v read_v the_o author_n that_o write_v on_o this_o subject_n will_v wonder_v doubtless_o that_o i_o make_v the_o venereal_a salt_n pass_v from_o the_o superficial_a part_n into_o the_o vein_n and_o artery_n without_o speak_v of_o that_o species_n of_o the_o pox_n they_o make_v consist_v only_o in_o subtle_a vapour_n and_o spirit_n but_o as_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v you_o i_o can_v acknowledge_v any_o different_a species_n of_o it_o and_o
same_o womb_n and_o that_o of_o its_o communication_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o contact_n of_o impure_a person_n it_o be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o necessary_a to_o prove_v the_o possibility_n of_o the_o former_a as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a opinion_n that_o will_v consequent_o be_v pretend_v false_a by_o those_o who_o admit_v no_o novelty_n at_o all_o and_o i_o fear_v also_o that_o reason_n and_o experience_n do_v not_o furnish_v we_o with_o proof_n clear_a enough_o to_o discover_v this_o truth_n before_o the_o eye_n of_o opiniator_n that_o love_n rather_o to_o follow_v blind_o what_o they_o conceive_v through_o prejudice_n than_o take_v the_o pain_n to_o examine_v thing_n to_o distinguish_v right_o the_o true_a from_o the_o false_a it_o be_v after_o this_o manner_n i_o reason_n on_o this_o subject_a philosopher_n and_o general_o the_o learned_a do_v acknowledge_v no_o considerable_a change_n in_o nature_n that_o be_v not_o make_v by_o a_o fermentation_n of_o which_o no_o cause_n be_v find_v more_o evident_a than_o the_o motion_n and_o action_n of_o contrary_a body_n a_o example_n of_o this_o truth_n which_o may_v particular_o serve_v for_o a_o proof_n of_o my_o opinion_n be_v observe_v in_o the_o generation_n of_o perfect_a animal_n and_o principal_o in_o that_o of_o man_n for_o the_o seed_n of_o which_o he_o be_v generate_v do_v contain_v not_o only_o the_o idea_n and_o form_n of_o all_o the_o part_n but_o also_o the_o good_a and_o ill_a quality_n the_o temperament_n and_o natural_a inclination_n of_o those_o from_o who_o they_o be_v emit_v and_o this_o be_v so_o true_a that_o the_o particle_n which_o convey_v these_o power_n act_n one_o upon_o the_o other_o after_o the_o conception_n and_o that_o infant_n of_o the_o same_o family_n be_v sometime_o male_a sometime_o female_a now_o like_o father_n another_o time_n like_o the_o mother_n and_o often_o partly_o like_o one_o and_o partly_o like_o the_o other_o now_o if_o it_o be_v true_a to_o say_v that_o the_o different_a quality_n which_o be_v find_v in_o the_o seed_n of_o only_a two_o person_n may_v be_v agitate_a so_o considerable_o as_o to_o cause_v one_o to_o over-rule_v the_o other_o while_o they_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o womb_n for_o generation_n that_o of_o a_o three_o person_n which_o be_v there_o receive_v a_o little_a afterward_o may_v be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o matter_n extraordinary_a which_o must_v hinder_v generation_n or_o at_o least_o render_v it_o imperfect_a by_o a_o more_o unequal_a mixture_n and_o strong_a agitation_n this_o serve_v to_o persuade_v i_o that_o mole_n in_o woman_n may_v be_v as_o well_o the_o effect_n of_o cuckold_v or_o adultery_n as_o the_o production_n of_o imagination_n since_o it_o be_v know_v beside_o that_o the_o best_a anatomist_n do_v esteem_v great_a quantity_n of_o menstrual_a blood_n which_o be_v notwithstanding_o another_o principle_n of_o generation_n for_o one_o cause_n of_o this_o confusion_n and_o disorder_n to_o which_o may_v be_v add_v that_o it_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o this_o confusion_n that_o common_a strumpet_n never_o conceive_v at_o all_o though_o they_o often_o do_v the_o same_o with_o those_o that_o have_v child_n &_o perhaps_o also_o with_o more_o advantageous_a circumstance_n because_o the_o different_a seed_n that_o they_o receive_v do_v cause_n a_o more_o vehement_a and_o irregular_a fermentation_n as_o they_o come_v from_o abundance_n of_o person_n and_o be_v fill_v with_o a_o great_a many_o contrary_a and_o opposite_a particle_n from_o which_o fermentation_n there_o must_v consequent_o proceed_v a_o very_a bad_a change_n and_o further_o from_o perfection_n to_o which_o nature_n do_v always_o tend_v on_o this_o subject_n it_o may_v further_o be_v observe_v that_o corruption_n be_v the_o change_n which_o follow_v fermentation_n that_o be_v absolute_o against_o nature_n and_o it_o be_v easy_o to_o conceive_v how_o those_o seed_n be_v mix_v together_o may_v pass_v from_o their_o fermentation_n to_o corruption_n almost_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n since_o this_o mixture_n do_v render_v they_o improper_a for_o their_o natural_a use_n and_o that_o the_o heat_n and_o moisture_n of_o the_o part_n which_o contain_v they_o do_v quick_o dispose_v they_o to_o be_v corrupt_v now_o the_o most_o important_a thing_n that_o remain_v on_o this_o subject_n be_v to_o let_v you_o see_v how_o they_o can_v become_v venomous_a that_o be_v to_o say_v subtle_a penetrant_fw-la and_o proper_a to_o coagulate_v and_o corrupt_v the_o blood_n as_o other_o poison_n do_v but_o as_o the_o seed_n be_v general_o acknowledge_v for_o the_o best_a part_n of_o our_o blood_n and_o every_o body_n know_v that_o corruption_n be_v so_o much_o the_o worse_o as_o the_o matter_n corrupt_v be_v more_o pure_a and_o delicate_a before_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o truth_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v of_o itself_o and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o search_a reason_n more_o strong_a or_o convince_a to_o sustain_v it_o nevertheless_o if_o we_o reflect_v on_o the_o great_a store_n of_o spirit_n wherewith_o all_o the_o seed_n be_v fill_v and_o on_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o part_n that_o receive_v they_o we_o shall_v then_o see_v that_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n which_o can_v remain_v more_o spirituous_a and_o consequent_o more_o venomous_a after_o its_o corruption_n because_o there_o be_v none_o better_o store_v with_o spirit_n nor_o any_o more_o diligent_o preserve_v this_o change_n be_v make_v in_o the_o womb_n which_o be_v a_o part_n natural_o dispose_v to_o receive_v the_o seed_n and_o conserve_v all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o what_o be_v still_o observable_a be_v that_o in_o pass_v from_o its_o natural_a subject_n into_o other_o subject_n it_o become_v so_o much_o the_o more_o venomous_a as_o it_o have_v pass_v a_o great_a number_n of_o new_a fermentation_n 3._o furthermore_o we_o may_v say_v of_o this_o opinion_n that_o it_o be_v one_o of_o those_o that_o can_v well_o be_v prove_v by_o any_o other_o way_n but_o our_o reason_n and_o that_o it_o be_v almost_o impossible_a to_o find_v subject_n on_o which_o experiment_n sufficient_o sure_a and_o undoubted_a may_v be_v make_v for_o beside_o that_o the_o pox_n do_v not_o always_o appear_v and_o that_o there_o be_v but_o few_o person_n who_o may_v be_v believe_v absolute_o pure_a and_o clear_a from_o it_o there_o must_v therefore_o remain_v but_o few_o indeed_o who_o can_v be_v esteem_v proper_a for_o such_o a_o experiment_n nevertheless_o i_o shall_v here_o report_v a_o observation_n that_o mere_a chance_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o to_o one_o of_o my_o friend_n and_o which_o may_v also_o serve_v to_o prove_v my_o thought_n on_o this_o
