Things against nature are generally 3. i. the 1 disease being of three sorts i. intempary of the similar parts in 1 quātity being eyther too 1 much 2 little 2 quality being either too 1 hot 2 cold 3 dry 4 moist 2 evill confirmation this hurts organicks in 1 figure 2 number 3 magnitude 4 situation 3 solution of unitie in both 1 simple and organick parts 2 Cause being three i. 1 primative i. 1 outwards as 1 wounds 2 contusions 3 fractures 4 dislocations c. 2 or by some outward hurt or meanes 2 Antecedent i. of evill humors c. being either 1 hereditaries i. bred in the mothers womb by some infection c. from the parents or weaknesse or ill forme of some part or member 2 after the birth by 1 evil dyet disorder c 2 accident or abuse c. 3 Conjunct which appeareth after the collection of the matter offensive in some part or member never else is ever present in the body or part offended 3 Accidents or symptomes 1 are called Insulsum i. a bragge or reproach of the whole body or part saith Jerimeus Thriverius 2 doe follow the disease as the shadow doth the body 3 doe offend 3 waies wherein the actiō is either 1 abolished 1 hurting the quality either by vehement 1 heat 2 cold 2 any accident or cause 2 changing 1 the natural heat into inflāmation 2 scabs into lepra c. 2 diminished 3 depraved or wholly lost Of the
