Salt does begin to bind up the relaxed Particles of Blood the depraved Particles of so disagreeing Nature must needs cause a very dangerous Conjunction since in their own Nature they are not only very different but also very destructive to those other Particles of our Blood and Humors and yet they are got so crouded in and associated amongst them that they are very difficult to remove To summ up what I have said in a few words The Diseases and Disturbances that we find in our Bodies do not arise from the solid Parts except it be from some hurt or violence from without nor from a quarrel or disagreement amongst the Humors or fluid Parts of our Body but from a Defect of this Aereal Salt which gives occasion to Heterogeneous Steams to croud both into the Air and Humors of our Body and in time to contaminate and deprave one another from whence generally Diseases Epidemick and Pestilential Fevers do arise so destructive and pernicious unto Mankind so that the want of this Aereal Salt is causa per accidens privativa that is per sui absentiam causa as the old Philosophers are wont to speak of all the Diseases and Disturbances in Man's Body Now although hitherto I may seem to discourage both Physicians and their Patients because no Advice or Counsel can secure us always against ill Air I mean Air deficient or depraved yet we may by the wise and learned Physician 's Advice be taught how in part either to correct ill Air or avoid it or at least how to fortifie the Humors of our Body against it and when nevertheless ill Air is got into our Blood and Humors and the Particles of our Blood are ill affected by it then to assist Nature Materiae morbificae exterminatione So that here is nothing to discourage either but rather to remind them that 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. Far be it from me to seem to lessen the over-ruling Power of God Almighty by all this I rather shew how easie a thing it is for him by a Defect or Depravation to destroy the World and all Mankind together in a moment as well as to punish one particular Place or Country According to these Principles I have laid down I cannot but recommend an open free and uninterrupted Air a sandy Soil a situation upon the highest Ground free from Hills Woods or any thing else that may intercept this Sweet and Balsamick Air And I wonder that our Ancestors did so little regard these things when even some of the Poets took notice of it As Lucan describing the Plague in Pompey's Army tells us how free Caesar's though near him was from it upon the higher Ground while it raged in Pompey's Army below At liber terrae spatiosis collibus hostis Aere non pigro nec inertibus angitur undis which may serve for a good Caution to all Encamping Generals FINIS A Catalogue of some BOOKS printed for and are to be sold by Tho.
