5._o that_o the_o analogous_a humour_n of_o the_o ancient_n be_v coincident_a with_o the_o element_n by_o the_o modern_n suppose_v to_o constitute_v the_o blood_n and_o that_o it_o be_v plain_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

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

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
