A87213 Medicina magnetica: or, The rare and wonderful art of curing by sympathy: laid open in aphorismes; proved in conclusions; and digested into an easy method drawn from both: wherein the connexion of the causes and effects of these strange operations, are more fully dicovered than heretofore. All cleared and confirmed, by pithy reasons, true experiments, and pleasant relations. / Preserved and published, as a master-piece in this skill. By C. de Iryngio, chirurgo-medcine [sic] in the Army. Irvine, Christopher, fl. 1638-1685. 1656 (1656) Wing I1053; Thomason E1578_1; ESTC R202607 75,143 126

require_v or_o will_v they_o say_v they_o do_v it_o to_o lose_v the_o body_n sure_o it_o be_v scarce_o agreeable_a to_o reason_n that_o blood_n shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o feverish_a or_o

follow_v nature_n and_o never_o stray_v from_o her_o law_n but_o nature_n have_v show_v another_o and_o most_o natural_a way_n that_o do_v not_o trouble_v the_o body_n like_o phlebotomy_n and_o that_o

thou_o will_v peradventure_o say_v there_o be_v no_o concoction_n yet_o hypocrates_n purge_v the_o turgid_a and_o swell_a humour_n in_o fever_n which_o if_o i_o affirm_v with_o paracelsus_n there_o

some_o will_v convince_v they_o for_o it_o agree_v only_o with_o moist_a thing_n who_o they_o putrify_v and_o yet_o not_o by_o reason_n of_o putrefaction_n neither_o be_v it_o the_o adequat_fw-la cause_n for_o fermentation_n cause_v heat_n for_o look_v how_o much_o it_o putrifi_v so_o much_o heat_n decrease_v as_o it_o be_v plain_o see_v in_o all_o moist_a thing_n putrify_v and_o the_o

the_o corruption_n of_o the_o proper_a and_o natural_a heat_n in_o every_o moist_a thing_n by_o a_o strange_a heat_n by_o the_o ancient_n or_o according_a to_o galen_n it_o be_v a_o change_n of_o the_o whole_a substance_n of_o the_o body_n putrify_v to_o corruption_n by_o external_a heat_n the_o first_o suppose_v that_o the_o proper_a heat_n of_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v dissipate_v by_o a_o external_a heat_n but_o first_o let_v they_o tell_v i_o how_o heat_n as_o heat_n can_v work_v upon_o heat_n if_o it_o do_v first_o dissipate_v natural_a heat_n before_o it_o consume_v radical_a moisture_n for_o the_o property_n of_o heat_n be_v not_o to_o work_v upon_o heat_n but_o upon_o moisture_n it_o dry_v up_o dry_v hinder_v putrefaction_n again_o if_o it_o first_o work_n upon_o that_o which_o be_v moist_a proportionable_o with_o the_o moisture_n it_o consume_v the_o heat_n therefore_o there_o be_v so_o much_o heat_n leave_v as_o the_o moisture_n leave_v require_v therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o external_a heat_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o putrefaction_n look_v upon_o other_o thing_n that_o putrify_v do_v not_o heat_n by_o dry_v hinder_a putrefaction_n do_v not_o external_a cold_a sometime_o advance_v it_o but_o sure_o it_o ought_v to_o cause_v it_o if_o it_o consist_v in_o the_o corruption_n of_o heat_n and_o that_o in_o moisture_n for_o what_o can_v destroy_v heat_n in_o a_o moist_a body_n where_o there_o be_v nothing_o leave_v but_o moisture_n except_o cold_a moreover_o it_o seem_v that_o putrefaction_n if_o it_o can_v proceed_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o proper_a heat_n for_o if_o this_o be_v so_o than_o the_o more_o the_o proper_a heat_n shall_v decrease_v the_o more_o putrefaction_n will_v prevail_v and_o then_o be_v perfect_v when_o the_o heat_n be_v drive_v quite_o away_o but_o who_o see_v not_o the_o contrary_a that_o putrefaction_n cease_v when_o heat_n be_v clean_o go_v do_v not_o those_o thing_n that_o have_v the_o best_a portion_n of_o this_o heat_n last_v long_a without_o putrefaction_n but_o that_o we_o may_v come_v to_o that_o heat_n that_o take_v its_o original_n from_o putrefaction_n as_o these_o man_n will_v have_v it_o of_o which_o be_v all_o the_o controversy_n let_v any_o may_v tell_v i_o how_o external_a heat_n can_v stir_v up_o a_o great_a and_o more_o intense_a heat_n how_o do_v dunghill_n putrify_v i_o speak_v after_o their_o manner_n in_o the_o winter_n time_n and_o have_v more_o heat_n than_o either_o the_o proper_a heat_n decline_v or_o the_o ambient_fw-la can_v stir_v up_o nay_o they_o putrify_v soon_o in_o the_o winter_n than_o in_o the_o summer_n if_o they_o be_v lay_v in_o great_a heap_n whence_o be_v that_o great_a inflammation_n in_o fever_n not_o from_o the_o internal_a heat_n say_v
galen_n but_o from_o a_o strange_a adventitious_a heat_n but_o whence_o it_o come_v or_o what_o bring_v the_o heat_n into_o the_o putrid_a matter_n neither_o he_o nor_o any_o man_n else_o know_v or_o can_v tell_v but_o from_o the_o definition_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o putrefaction_n can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o heat_n because_o it_o destroy_v heat_n and_o be_v introduce_v from_o a_o external_a heat_n that_o which_o be_v putrid_a be_v only_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o heat_n not_o the_o cause_n which_o heat_n be_v only_o possess_v according_a to_o the_o intention_n and_o remission_n of_o the_o introducer_n neither_o last_v it_o long_o than_o the_o cause_n be_v present_a and_o how_o these_o thing_n can_v agree_v let_v they_o look_v as_o to_o galen_n definition_n i_o wonder_v why_o he_o so_o unadvised_o and_o ridiculous_o make_v the_o body_n putrify_v to_o be_v the_o subject_n of_o putrefaction_n whether_o in_o bring_v in_o of_o all_o putrefaction_n be_v there_o a_o putrify_a body_n necessary_o prae-require_v and_o therefore_o that_o which_o be_v once_o sound_a be_v for_o ever_o free_a from_o putrefaction_n but_o external_a heat_n be_v by_o he_o call_v the_o cause_n of_o putrefaction_n and_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o heat_n in_o that_o which_o putrifi_v but_o putrification_n itself_o can_v be_v call_v the_o cause_n of_o heat_n yet_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v some_o of_o they_o tell_v i_o how_o moist_a thing_n can_v putrify_v without_o fermentation_n go_v before_o and_o where_o shall_v the_o putrefaction_n of_o humour_n at_o length_n stay_v itself_o but_o in_o corruption_n and_o therefore_o that_o which_o be_v true_o putrify_v be_v not_o the_o same_o which_o it_o be_v before_o putrefaction_n be_v finish_v but_o be_v change_v into_o another_o thing_n of_o inferior_a order_n because_o of_o the_o heat_n that_o be_v go_v choler_n putrify_v be_v not_o now_o choler_n but_o another_o thing_n cold_o than_o it_o and_o therefore_o can_v cause_v a_o tertian_n fever_n which_o depend_v of_o choler_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o excrement_n beside_o putrefaction_n be_v always_o accompany_v with_o stink_a by_o stink_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v that_o odour_n which_o be_v unpleasant_a to_o we_o but_o that_o which_o agree_v not_o with_o thing_n in_o their_o proper_a state_n but_o who_o ever_o see_v stink_a choler_n void_v in_o

the_o height_n of_o concoction_n do_v always_o other_o thing_n requisite_a be_v present_a unite_v to_o purgation_n in_o summer_n i_o will_v ask_v those_o supercilious_a master_n one_o thing_n what_o
