A64581	Helmont disguised, or, The vulgar errours of impericall and unskillfull practisers of physick confuted more especially as they concern the cures of the feavers, stone, plague and other diseases : in a dialogue between philiatrus, and pyrosophilus : in which the chief rarities of physick is admirably discoursed of / by J.

it but they intend onely to take away and correct the heat which is a kinde of product which comes afterward and lodgeth not in the feverish matter For they apply their remedies adposterius non adprius to the effects and not their causes Py. You say right for the feverish heat is 19. A fifth kindled in the in-●ushing or violent way-making Archeus But the root of the fever is the very matter it self which is offending Ph. They therefore look onely as I said to the taking away of the consequent effect and that which resulteth out of the position of that root Py. 'T is so and hence you may see that the Archeus is not inflamed from the root but from a heat drawn from elsewhere Ph. How I pray you Py. Whil'st this spirit inflameth it's self by its strugling and by its own heat raised to such a degree thereby as is far above that which it hath need of or is befitting it wherein it becomes wholly troublesome as being delated further then it should be and above the necessity that is of it For we must not 20. Feverish heat not from the offending matter think there is any such heat in that detestable feverish matter which both they and I call peccant that it should feverishly heat thereby the intire totality If they will allow that for which every thing is such to be it self more such And then again because every 21. Another argument heating agent by it's species works more forcibly in that which is near hand then in that which is farther distant Ph. Hereupon I should think that if the feverish matter did with its heat heat the rest of necessity the center or nest wherein this offending feverish matter is received should first be burnt into ashes before any thing that 's distant from it should thereby be warmed Py. Yea and if the peccant matter should 22. A third of its own accord wax warm and that mee● preter-natural heat should be a fever every fever as a fever should be continual neither should it have any intermission till all the peccant matter were totally consumed into ashes Ph. That 's plain and it stands with reason 23. A fourth also that there should bee no repition of fits nor yet any ●elapse if the peccant matter should out of its native property always heat till it were consumed Py. Nay that which is more a dead 24. A fifth carkass should be as hot after death and more ardently be disturbed with a fever then when it was living by reason that the same matter doth yet remain in the carkass which introduced death into the living body Ph. And considering that they suppose the same matter hot by its proper heat of putrifaction and that it is more putrid after death then before and that it affecteth more parts adjacent then while it lived A man would therefore think also that it should more actually heat then then while it lived Py. But this error is thus discovered because a fever which made a live body hot presently after death ceaseth and all heat 25. Feverish heat not of the peccant matter expires with life And this should instruct us that feverish heat is not proper to the peccant matter or that it doth inhabit in it as also that the heat of that matter doth not efficiently and effectively heat in fevers And 26. Feverish matter heateth occasionally only therefore it is perpetually true that the offending matter heateth occasionally onely But the Archeus is the worker of all alteration and therefore under this title that way-making spirit is it which efficiently primarily immediately alwayes every where and only heateth according to that Axiom whatsoever 27. Who maker of the feverish heat bringeth forth sound actions in such as are sound the very same is it which uttereth faulty or unhealthfull actions in diseases For this very spirit heats a man naturally in health which in fevers is inflamed Ph. But could not what is said be yet made plainer by some instance Py. No doubt it might And to this end 28. The original of preternatural heat take that which followeth An Oken thorn or splinter which is both actually and potentially cold is thrust into a finger it presently begets a preternatural heat therein Ph. Comes this by reason that hot humours have their affluence thither as if they had been called by that thorn and had expected the wound thereof which otherwise had been temperately quiet in their proper places Py. O no for that bloud which is next the wound hinders the access of that which followeth Ph. So then that bloud which is next the wound is that which heats it is it not Py. By no means for neither that nor any other bloud is hot of it self but what heat it hath it hath by grace and favour from the vital spirit Ph. Then I perceive this heat of the wound comes from that spirit Py. Right for th'inflamation the swelling the hardness of the pulse the pain and hear that are in the wound come all onely from the spirit causally but from the infixed thorn alone occasionally Ph. Verily this is a sufficient example as 29. To heat and to be hot how different well for the position manner and knowing as also for the curing of a fever Teaching that the peccant cause in a fever is not hot in its self and that it heateth no way but occasionally and that upon the pulling out of the thorn or occasional cause health followeth So that the Archeus alone is that which doth every where effectively stir up the fever and when it through death is gone the fever ceaseth Therefore heat is but an after accident 30. Heat an after accident to the essence of a fever and subsequent to the essence of a fever For the Archeus in the striving desire it hath to expel the occasional matter as a thorn that 's thrust into it heats it self now whosoever puls out this thorn that is whosoever takes away 31. Whence feverish heat this matter he puls up the infirmity by the root Py. I like your brief and easie repition But add yet this in curing That it is almost indifferent to nature whether the means be hot cold or temperate so the disease thereby find remedy For instantly the strugling ceaseth because the Archeus is appeased Ph. I perceive then that heat how much 32. A fever is not heat essentially soever it be preternaturally augmented though it may be a sign of fevers yet it is not the very fever nor in the cure thereof to be much insisted on Py. You perceive aright And from hence Hippocrates hath seriously warned us that heat and cold are not diseases nor the causes of them But that bitter sharp salt portick c. are causes viz. occasional of diseases and that the spirit is it which makes all the inrodes But then came Galen about 500 years younger then Hippocrates who
