likewise_o find_v the_o same_o to_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o author_n none_o of_o the_o mean_a and_o i_o myself_o have_v also_o observe_v it_o more_o than_o once_o in_o such_o person_n as_o be_v

and_o that_o there_o may_v flow_v from_o the_o colon_n intestine_a a_o humour_n exciting_a the_o arthritis_fw-la we_o be_v teach_v both_o by_o galen_n and_o hypocrates_n in_o 6._o epidem_fw-la com._n 4._o text._n 3_o and_o as_o for_o the_o way_n and_o passage_n the_o thing_n be_v very_o plain_a as_o we_o likewise_o tell_v you_o before_o touch_v the_o scurvy_a to_o wit_n that_o from_o the_o colon_n this_o humour_n may_v by_o the_o meseraick_n artery_n be_v transser_v into_o the_o trunk_n of_o the_o great_a artery_n and_o from_o hence_o be_v thrust_v unto_o the_o joint_n and_o second_o this_o also_o be_v true_a and_o certain_a and_o that_o which_o be_v grant_v by_o all_o the_o most_o learned_a physician_n that_o the_o humour_n the_o cause_n of_o the_o arthritis_fw-la be_v move_v through_o the_o vein_n and_o artery_n some_o of_o these_o say_v always_o but_o other_o of_o they_o very_o often_o and_o they_o be_v those_o that_o determine_v that_o the_o humour_n flow_v down_o likewise_o from_o the_o head_n and_o the_o thing_n be_v altogether_o so_o plain_a that_o thomas_n erastus_n who_o notwithstanding_o in_o his_o 4._o disputat_fw-la against_o paracel_n page_n 261._o defend_v likewise_o another_o way_n from_o the_o head_n write_v that_o he_o only_o can_v doubt_v of_o this_o thing_n who_o do_v not_o sufficient_o attend_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o what_o be_v daily_o do_v or_o he_o that_o have_v his_o mind_n prepossess_v with_o a_o prejudicate_a opinion_n and_o see_v that_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a and_o certain_a the_o doubt_n now_o lie_v in_o this_o whether_o this_o way_n be_v not_o sufficient_a and_o whether_o there_o may_v any_o other_o be_v assign_v and_o whether_o the_o humour_n also_o flow_v down_o from_o the_o head_n under_o the_o skin_n may_v excite_v the_o arthritis_fw-la yea_o or_o no_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o three_o place_n i_o conceive_v that_o this_o be_v also_o most_o true_a and_o certain_a and_o sufficient_o prove_v above_o that_o sometime_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o fluxion_n be_v not_o from_o the_o head_n for_o whereas_o both_o the_o part_n transmit_v and_o the_o part_n receive_v do_v both_o of_o they_o discover_v themselves_o by_o their_o several_a and_o proper_a symptom_n and_o that_o in_o many_o arthritick_n person_n there_o appear_v no_o heaviness_n of_o the_o head_n no_o pain_n neither_o any_o other_o symptom_n as_o sign_n and_o token_n of_o any_o humour_n gather_v together_o and_o heap_v up_o there_o it_o can_v therefore_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o humour_n flow_v down_o from_o the_o head_n and_o moreover_o neither_o have_v that_o arthritis_fw-la which_o be_v from_o the_o colic_n its_o original_n from_o the_o head_n or_o from_o the_o brain_n as_o before_o we_o show_v you_o as_o likewise_o neither_o that_o which_o proceed_v from_o a_o diarrhaea_n unreasonable_o and_o undue_o suppress_v and_o therefore_o fourthly_a this_o remain_v that_o may_v true_o be_v doubt_v of_o to_o wit_n whether_o or_o no_o the_o arthritis_fw-la may_v sometime_o have_v its_o original_n from_o a_o matter_n heap_v up_o under_o the_o skin_n of_o the_o head_n and_o from_o thence_o flow_v down_o which_o indeed_o very_a many_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a and_o able_a physician_n do_v affirm_v who_o i_o leave_v free_a unto_o their_o own_o judgement_n but_o yet_o for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o can_v be_v persuade_v to_o believe_v it_o for_o the_o reason_n before_o allege_v which_o here_o to_o repear_v i_o hold_v it_o altogether_o needless_a in_o regard_n especial_o that_o i_o be_o able_a very_o well_o to_o render_v a_o reason_n of_o all_o those_o symptom_n that_o befall_v unto_o arthritick_n person_n although_o i_o determine_v that_o the_o humour_n the_o cause_n of_o arthritis_fw-la be_v move_v only_o within_o the_o vessel_n and_o that_o by_o they_o it_o flow_v into_o the_o joint_n especial_o if_o this_o be_v well_o heed_v that_o this_o humour_n do_v sometime_o most_o chief_o flow_v through_o the_o descend_a trunk_n of_o the_o hollow_a vein_n and_o the_o great_a artery_n and_o sometime_o likewise_o that_o it_o withal_o flow_v by_o the_o ascend_a trunk_n and_o that_o from_o thence_o various_a symptom_n be_v excite_v about_o the_o head_n what_o need_n be_v there_o therefore_o that_o neglect_v those_o way_n which_o nature_n have_v ordain_v as_o channel_n for_o the_o motion_n and_o flux_n of_o the_o humour_n we_o shall_v seek_v for_o unknown_a and_o unheard_a of_o way_n and_o there_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o i_o can_v but_o at_o least_o touch_n upon_o and_o it_o be_v this_o that_o erastus_n indeed_o in_o the_o place_n allege_v have_v this_o for_o a_o sure_a and_o certain_a sign_n of_o the_o humour_n its_o flow_a from_o the_o head_n that_o the_o sick_a person_n do_v for_o the_o most_o part_n manifest_o feel_v and_o perceive_v the_o humour_n to_o flow_v down_o from_o the_o head_n by_o the_o neck_n side_n and_o back_o like_v unto_o a_o water_n with_o a_o kind_n of_o shake_v tremble_a or_o a_o slight_a kind_n of_o cold_a but_o this_o sign_n seem_v not_o unto_o i_o any_o whit_n firm_a for_o that_o shiver_a and_o quake_v happen_v not_o only_o in_o the_o arthritis_fw-la but_o oftentimes_o likewise_o in_o fever_n the_o erysipelas_n small_a pox_n and_o meazel_v and_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o token_n that_o these_o disease_n be_v very_o nigh_o at_o hand_n when_o from_o the_o trunk_n of_o the_o hollow_a vein_n and_o artery_n especial_o in_o the_o back_n by_o the_o branch_n that_o arise_v from_o they_o and_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o
