a Natural Sense these Passions are evil and are Diseases of the Vital governing Spirit and produce bad effects and preternatural alterations proportionate as these Passions are in degree more or less turbulent violent and durable And that these you call Passions are Diseases as truly and properly as Corporal Diseases I might prove from their Causes preternatural by their Diagnostic Signs declaring them so and by the Symptoms that attend and follow as the Products thereof but I must not enlarge now upon them Spirital Diseases ab intra are occasioned by morbific Causes generated within the Body and from hence the vital Spirit suffers is put by and forced out of its sedateness and regularity of Government or else spontaneously makes a defection and deviation in Government by Natural debility and proneness to swerve from lapsed Nature the Vital Principle Spiritus impetum faciens not being so strong vigorous and stable in some Persons as in others naturally so from their Progenitors or by their different vitae genus Education and Manner of Living Spirital Diseases thus caused are such as these Debility Ebriety Aestuation Lassation Perturbation Syncope Epilepsy Apoplexy Palsy Rigor Sopor Algor Agues Procellae spiritus impetum facientis Pains à causa quacunque complaints of the Vital Principle grieved Hysteric Fits Hypochondriac Melancholy c. But some may say what hath a Physician to do with Passions since there is no Physick to cure a diseased mind I answer there is advice to be given for avoiding them and the Physician ought to know if his Patient labours and suffers under or by them and there is Physick against the Impressions and Effects wrought from thence For what causes soever alienates the Vital Principle from rectitude in Government and makes an alteration in the Body a Physician ought to take cognizance of them and his measures thereby in the design of Curing especially if such Causes continue in being The Vital Spirit also labours and suffers under the like Passions from Molesting Irritating and Seducing morbific Causes generated within the Body as it doth by external provoking and procuring Causes so that the Passions are much what the same and produce the same ill effects be the Causes outward or inward Hence we may learn and know what it is that acts the chiefest part in these preternatural morbous alterations and what is to be aimed at for reduction to a natural good State Vt sanitas consist it in vita integra ita Morbus in ipsamet vita oblaesa Helmont Corporal Diseases are such as result from preternatural undue Conformation and Constitution of the visible Corporeal Parts Such Diseases are either in Magnitude in Figure in Number in Scituation in Conjunction or Disjunction in Discontinuity And these being general Heads admit of various Subdivisions which I must pass by at this time The urgency and importance of the following Postscript forceth me to cease prosecution at present expecting opportunity hereafter to proceed and explain what now seems dubious and difficult to admit of The Vital Spirit being thus variously provoked and afflicted begets or forms various Diseases from the diversity of Organs used and Functions to be performed thereby We may hence learn that Diseases in their multiplicity and variation by denomination from Parts affected and Functions impedited do not lye so wide asunder and differing as the world does imagine since the chief moving Principle or obstructed in motion is one and the same in all the Faculties but irritated to disorder or impedited in Vital Government Ab unitate Animae defluunt variae dotes ad organa singula I have shewed you herein some part of the Learning in this Faculty the World hath much confided in and ventured their Lives with which Learning I well know and can stand it and do understand it so well that I have declined much of it many years ago as unserviceable in the true Methods of Curing I have not troubled my self about bare empty Notions impracticable and unprofitable but what are necessary and advantageous in Practice that you may see the Life in Rectitude Vigour and Sedateness as also in Declension Enormity and Perturbation that knowing how Diseases are formed what contributes to their Generation Efficiently and Materially what is Active and Passive in Morbous Alterations we may the better level at them with more Security and Certainty I should now proceed to give you a farther Prospect and clearer light into this Novel Doctrine and resolve some Questions and Doubts therein but at this time I am prevented by the following Matter LONDON Old Southampton Buildings over against Grays-Inn 1691.
