summer time temperate bodies are less ponderous than they are in winter by about three pounds XXIV In the summer time men are subject to weariness not because the body is more ponderous but because it is less strong XXV In a warm air the body is of less strength as well by reason that with the perspiration there is somewhat of the better spirits exhal'd as because the warmth is not concentrated XXVI There is alwayes by a warm air somewhat dispersed through the whole skin which carries away with it somewhat of the internal good humour XXVII In the summer time we are troubled with heat not principally proceeding from the warmth of the air for every part of the body is warmer than the summer-summer-air but because there is not so much coldness in the summer-summer-air as that the natural heat may be sufficiently concentrated Whence it comes to pass that being so diffus'd it cannot insensibly evacuate that perspirable matter which is of its own nature hot which matter being kept in becomes sharp and is the cause of our being troubled with much heat XXVIII When mens bodies in the hottest seasons upon sleeping in the night or day time perspire abundantly or sweat they become lighter and are not that day troubled with any heat XXIX If a cold Air immediately succeed the Summer-heat there will be occasion'd for the most part that day the retention of about a pound of the insensible excrements XXX If the Summer prove like the Spring so as that mens bodies may be reduc'd to the weight answerable to the Summer it must be the effect of Sweating XXXI At the beginning of Summer if intense heat come of a sudden weariness and faintness ensue which do not continue long though the sultriness be encreas'd for some daies after because the weight of the perspirable body is abated XXXII The same vigour is not so much concern'd in strugling with a lesser as it is with a greater weight of the body XXXIII Perspiration procur'd by the force of warm air or water is hurtful unless the malignancy of it be not ballanc'd by some greater benefit XXXIV Robust bodies perspire more in the Summer time by day in the Winter by night XXXV That impediment of respiration which in the Summer-time is apt to be introductory to a malignant Feaver does hardly in the winter-time cause the least alternation for in the summer mens bodies are fill'd with a perspirable matter of a sharper nature than they are in winter XXXVI To sleep in the Summer-time with the body uncover'd or abroad in the open Air does for the most part dispose it to putrefaction by hindring the perspiration XXXVII The difficulty of respiration does not heat the entrails unless the perspirable matter become sharp by reason of its retention or upon the account of external heat or violent motion XXXVIII In the Summer-time when cold does of a sudden succeed heat the inconvenience of excessive Venery is hardly perceiv'd but if the Air reassume its former warmth men are very sensible of the injury they have receiv'd by the precedent miscarriage XXXIX The injury men receive by the not-immoderate exercise of Venery is commonly ballanc'd by an equal benefit if the heat be concentrated by the cool Air. XL. In the Summer-nights mens bodies are most dispos'd to Feavers by reason of the vicissitude of the Air for at the beginning of the night the Air is enflam'd but about midnight it is more temperate and in the morning cool whence it comes to pass that the usual perspirable matter is not evacuated in such as sleep with the Bed-cloaths off and their bodies are more ponderous which happens not in winter XLI From the Autumnal Equinox to the Winter Solstice we perspire every day much about a pound from thence to the Spring-Equinox we begin to perspire more freely XLII Autumn is an unhealthy season as well by reason that the perspiration is obstructed by the cold then coming in as for that what is not perspir'd becomes sharp and corroding XLIII Autumnal indispositions are avoided if the body be not of greater weight in Autumn than it had been in Summer XLIV That weight which is augmented by degrees is to be abated by degrees XLV The more than usual weight of the body is not to be taken off in the Spring but in Autumn for the cold air then coming in is a greater enemy to the weight XLVI Thou wilt not be troubled with any disease in Autumn if the cold weather then coming in find thee well furnish'd with cloaths if thou use diureticks and wilt be kept in the same weight as before XLVII He who is well cloath'd perspires the better for it and is rendered of less weight XLVIII They who in the Winter-time are commonly troubled with diseases proceeding from the abundance of humours are to be purg'd in Autumn and not in the Spring and ought to be reduc'd to the weight they were of at the beginning of Summer XLIX But if the diseases proceed from some malignant quality the bodies are to be purg'd in the Spring and not in Autumn for the malignancy of the quality is more augmented in Summer than in Winter L. They who at the beginning of the Spring devest themselves too soon and in Autumn are backward in putting on their winter-garments are in Summer apt to fall into Feavers and in Winter to be troubled with distillations LI. The retention of the perspirable matter as it has a sharp quality causes Feavers and Erysipelas's as to its redundancy it causes Apostems Distillations or an evil habit of the body LII External cold by concentrating the heat makes nature so much the stronger by how much it is the more able to bear about two pounds of perspirable matter unevacuated over and above its ordinary weight LIII At the beginning of winter mens bodies are easily reduc'd to their usual weight but in the beginning of Summer it is with much ado that they are reduc'd to the Summer-weight LIV. There would be an uninterrupted healthfulness even to the extremity of age if mens bodies were kept in an equal weight during the four seasons of the year LV. Those bodies whose weights are much augmented and diminished in the space of a year are in great danger LVI The greater variety there is of the weight of any body in the space of a year and the greater the augmentation or diminution of the blood is so much the worse is the condition of that body LVII The augmentation of the weight happens at the beginning of Autumn the diminution at the beginning of Summer LVIII Those bodies whose weight is augmented are in a more dangerous condition than those whose weight is diminish'd APHORISMS Added by the Author LIX THose parts of the body which are cover'd do healthfully perspite but if they be found uncover'd after sleep their pores are condensated by even the warmest air LX. That air which is over cool moist or windy obstructs perspiration whence it

of the superiour parts XI If any one after sleep feels a kind of pain in his armes or imagines them more than usually wearied it is an argument that the body is of greater weight than nature can long endure XII They who sleep with their feet and legs uncover'd are depriv'd of as much perspiration as may amount to a pound in the space of one night XIII A continual agitation of the body in bed is more disturbant than swift running for in the motion of a person running the muscles only of the inferiour parts are mov'd in that of a person lying along the muscles of the whole body in a manner are in motion XIV Perspiration is more obstructed in persons sleeping by a cool southerly gale of wind than it is in persons awake by a great cold XV. If the night's rest be less than usual there is a diminution in the exhalation of the concocted perspirable matter but the perspiration of crudities is augmented XVI After meats of easy perspiration mens bodies are rendred rather weak than weighty but after those of difficult perspiration they become both weak and weighty XVII The perspiration occasion'd by sleep differs in species from that which comes by vigilance the former implies the evacuation of concocted perspirables without acrimony and with a recruiting of the strength the latter that of crudities and is sharp violent and with some difficulty XVIII A person sleeping perspires twice as much as one waking Thence came that remarkable saying Two hours of rest in a person awake are but equivasent to one of sleep XIX I have found by experience that in the space of seven hours the insensible perspiration in a person sleeping as to many amounted to about forty ounces in one awake but to twenty XX. He who goes to bed with an empty Stomach perspires that night about a third part less than he is wont to do XXI Persons of a cholerick constitution who go to bed with a stomach quite empty have these inconveniencies the belly and head are fill'd with crudities their temples beat their flesh wastes away they are troubled with vehement stretchings about the armes and hands sometimes a heart-burning or corrosion of the mouth of the Stomach vertigo's and epilepsies as it happen'd to Diodorus XXII After a perspiration greater than we are wont to have a more plentiful supper promises a longer and founder sleep XXIII A less than the usual perspiration is the foreteller of disturbed sleep and a troublesom night XXIV If after a short and unquiet sleep the flesh be found cold and that thereupon a feverish fit succeeds in weak persons it commonly presignifies death in strong a long continuance of sickness XXV By change of lodging sleep is disturbed and the perspiration is less For unwonted things though better are prejudicial to body and mind XXVI Men dream more in a bed they are not accustom'd to than in that they constantly ly in XXVII They who sleep and do not dream perspire well and so on the contrary XXVIII Sleep about four hours after meat is best for then nature is least employ'd about the first concoction it better recruits what was lost and more promotes perspiration XXIX If about five hours after supper you weigh a person just awak'd out of his sleep you will find that he hardly perspir'd a pound if it be done eight hours after sleep you will find that he has perspir'd three pound XXX If a mans sleep be shorter than it is wont to be there is somewhat of the perspiration obstructed which if it be not repair'd in the subsequent daies by a more plentiful perspiration there is some danger of a Feaver XXXI If there be a retention of any part of the usual perspiration the next day or after dinner we are overcome with sleep and in an hours space perspire about a pound or the night following lowing our sleep is so much the longer the more expedient it was that we should perspire more than usually otherwise we fall into a sensible crisis or into a disease XXXII Oscitation and the stretching of the joints after sleep denote that the body has perspir'd very well as it is related of Cocks smiting themselves with their wings before they crow XXXIII The oscitations and extensions of the joints and limbs which happen immediately after sleep are rais'd out of the plenty of perspirables excellently well prepar'd for evacuation XXXIV Mens bodies perspire more in half an hours space by yawning gaping and stretching out of the body than in three hours of any other time XXXV They who administer syrups or other medicines to sick persons during the time of their best perspiration which is commonly for the space of two hours after sleep injure them but in the subsequent hours they do them good XXXVI In Paroxysmes or any great fits of sickness gaping and stretching of the body signify the concentration of the heat but the evacuation of a great quantity of acrimonious perspible matter that had been retain'd XXXVII In an hours sleep at noon after meat mens bodies commonly evacuate sometimes a pound sometimes half a pound of excrements insensibly perspirable a pound if there be ought retain'd of the precedent day's perspiration half a pound if nothing XXXVIII If ought of the precedent day's Perspiration be retain'd and that it be not evacuated by sleeping at noon immediately after Sleep there is felt a great heaviness of the head and a very afflictive pain XXXIX If within four hours after sleep the meat a man has eaten be corrupted immediately these two inconveniences mutually consequent one to the other will follow to wit an obstruction of Perspiration and Watching XL. There is no cause does more frequently interrupt sleep than the corruption of a man's meat This is caus'd by the Sympathy there is between the Stomach and the Brain XLI Sleep is better in Winter than in Summer not because men's bellies are hotter or their sleep longer but because before day-light their bodieis are actually hotter and as such are apt to perspire very much whereas in Summer they are more cold XLII Purity of discourse and agility of body after sleep are indications that the body has perspir'd that night commonly at least three pound XLIII Lightness of the head after sleep at noon denotes that there had not been any thing retain'd of the precedent day's Perspiration XLIV Sleep moistens all the external and internal parts because it attenuates the perspirable matter and being so attenuated it disperses it into all the members XLV Vigilance stirs from the centre to the circumference that blood which is less prepar'd for Perspiration than it is in such as are asleep XLVI By Sleep the humours are concentrated the influent heat is united to the innate thirst is taken away unless Choler be predominant there is a conversion made of the blood into the second moistures and the bodies become lighter XLVII By Sleep the animal spirits languish by Vigilance the vital
