which being retained and not liberally excreted doe greatly annoy and affect those parts Wherefore the excrements of the braine must daily bee avoyded through the mouth by spetting and excreation through the nose by exsufflation and also somtimes by sternutation especially in the mornings and those of the breast by coughing expectorated And thus much for excretions Of Perturbations or Passions of the minde SECT 4. Seeing that the Passions of the minde are inevitable secundum naturam nobis succrescant why are they reputed as morbificall causes and hurtfull to the Body I Will nothere stand to discourse of the objects of Perturbations nor how the sensitive facultie is the fountaine of them nor how they are the naturall motions of the heart and that by meanes of the spirits which are the primary instruments of the soul as things altogether impertinent for this place but how they are to bee reputed as morbificall causes and hurtfull to the body Animi passiones dum intra modum consistunt neque animam à consuetis naturali moderatione virtute dimovent non animi perturbationes sed actus jure dicentur and in this respect they are said to be inevitable secundam naturam nobis succrescere to bee naturall utiliter à natura dari These Passions Cicero Leves perturbationes optimè dixit Verum cum modum excesserunt hominis decentem harmoniam elegantiam ac modum naturali debitum mutaverint tunc quidem animi passiones seu perturbationes jure optimo dicendae sunt vitandae ut corpori animae noxiae The Passions therefore of the minde are not to bee reputed hurtfull or numbred among the causes of sicknesse but when they shall exceed and bee imoderate and so become perturbations indeed for then they alter the body weaken and overthrow the faculties thereof I will instance in some Immoderate joy Immoderate joy relaxeth the heart and causeth such an effusion of the spirit as that oftentimes ensue fickness and great debility of the body sowndings and as wee read of some pusillanimicke or faint hearted persons Sadnesse and feare death it selfe Sadnes and Feare of the contrary do streiten the heart weaken the spirits and naturall heate and cause them to bee contracted to the heart by meanes whereof the digestion of the meats and distribution is hindred and the remote parts left destitute of heate and from hence proceedeth that vacillation or trembling of the limbes in them that are affected with feare Moreover sadness and feare in continuance dry the body resolve the strengths presse the heart and induce melancholicke sicknesses by exciccating the blood and spirits neere the heart Here some may demaund that if trembling of the limbs proceed from the defect of heat in the parts and if feare draw the heate and spirits inward especially to the heart why the heart doth tremble in thē that are affected with feare Whereunto it may bee answered that although fear force the heat spirits inward yet it compels them not to the heart strong and lively but weakened abated Nam in metuentibus crassescunt spiritus sanguis fiuntque imbecilliores frigore and that by reason of the imagination which is earnestly bent and troubled in preventing and withstanding the imminent mischiefe and peril And from hence it is that the heart is not onely streitned and doth tremble in feare but also that many swound die and are exanimated with sodaine fear the heat and spirits being extinguished by overmuch blood conglobated in the heart Dum enim anima timore concutitur ut vitae consulat sanguinem spiritus custodiae gratia repentè ad interiora ad cor praecipuè quod corporis quasi princeps est invocat contrahit Anger stirreth up the natural heat Anger breedeth choler and inflameth the blood and spirits And here it is to be observed that though Anger be reputed a morbificall cause and hurtfull to the bodie yet not alwaies and alike to all bodies for to phlegmaticke bodies it is sometimes very necessary to the preservation of their health because the naturall heat being therewith stirred up and encreased doth the better concoct discusse and consume their crude and moist superfluities The like may bee also said of other perturbations whence it is manifest Animi passiones posse mutare corpus affectus ejusdem contrarietate sanare ob id utiliter à natura dari But Anger to all other especially to hot and dry bodies is very hurtfull because it vehemently heateth the Bodie drieth it and resolveth the strengths Wherefore seeing that the affections and perturbations of the minde are of such force for the overthrowing of the health and welfare of the Bodie I advise all such Salubre consilium as are respective of their health to bridle all irrationall motions of the minde by the reason and understanding and labour by all meanes to obserue a mediocritie in their passion wherein consisteth the tranquility both of minde and body which of this life is the chiefest happinesse To conclude this Section and to adde a period to this worke among all the affections of the minde beware chiefly of sadnesse for it dryeth the bones and embrace moderate joy for both body and mind are bettered therby and that your joy may be joy indeed strive without halting to enjoy with all the joy of a good conscience by living soberly uprightly and godly in this present world Non enim habemus hîc manentem civitatem For wee have here no continuing place of
