A57186	A discourse upon prodigious abstinence occasioned by the twelve moneths fasting of Martha Taylor, the famed Derbyshire damosell : proving that without any miracle, the texture of humane bodies may be so altered, that life may be long continued without the supplies of meat & drink : with an account of the heart, and how far it is interessed in the business of fermentation / by John Reynolds ...	Reynolds, John, of Kings-Norton.	1669 (1669)	Wing R1314; ESTC R10543	24,717	44

sulphur_n also_o likewise_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o there_o be_v a_o actual_a heat_n abide_v in_o we_o while_o we_o live_v and_o somewhile_o after_o death_n this_o be_v obvious_a to_o the_o

to_o the_o conjecture_n of_o great_a riverius_n the_o product_n of_o the_o immateriate_a soul_n but_o of_o that_o i_o understand_v little_a only_o this_o be_v unquestionable_a that_o the_o celestial_a

be_v the_o biolychnium_n or_o the_o actual_a flame_n of_o the_o blood_n kindle_v in_o the_o heart_n assert_v both_o by_o ancient_n and_o modern_n of_o astonish_a title_n and_o tremendous_a

therefore_o it_o be_v great_o suspect_v to_o have_v no_o existence_n in_o our_o body_n because_o in_o these_o jejunant_n it_o must_v needs_o extinguish_v for_o want_v of_o sulphureous_a supply_n and_o produce_v death_n to_o those_o that_o have_v live_v long_o enough_o to_o help_v to_o entomb_v it_o it_o be_v strange_a to_o i_o that_o provident_a nature_n shall_v require_v such_o vast_a supply_v both_o of_o meat_n and_o drink_n out_o of_o which_o to_o extract_v a_o small_a quantity_n nutritious_a juice_n which_o with_o divers_a ferment_n colature_n emunctory_n and_o rapid_a motion_n it_o

the_o balsam_n of_o sugar_n etc._n etc._n no_o less_o wonderful_a it_o be_v that_o a_o flame_n shall_v continual_o burn_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o yet_o the_o fleshy_a wall_n thereof_o not_o boil_v roast_a nor_o so_o much_o as_o a_o fuliginous_a or_o cineritious_a colour_n impart_v but_o lest_o sir_n you_o shall_v be_v confident_a that_o this_o perennial_a slame_n scorn_v a_o extinction_n by_o these_o few_o drop_n i_o therefore_o commend_v to_o your_o observation_n those_o numerous_a and_o plentiful_a bucket_n that_o be_v pour_v thereupon_o by_o the_o dexterous_a hand_n of_o the_o very_a

doctrine_n and_o avowed_o maintain_v this_o unseen_a fire_n i_o shall_v therefore_o add_v 1._o that_o this_o flame_n can_v be_v but_o small_a through_o the_o defect_n of_o bodily_a exercise_n and_o free_a ventilation_n these_o faster_n be_v most_o close_a prisoner_n as_o also_o of_o strong_a fermentation_n therefore_o the_o less_o the_o lamp_n the_o less_o oil_n will_v sustain_v it_o 2._o through_o the_o defect_n of_o heat_n the_o pore_n be_v bolt_v and_o transpiration_n restrain_v whence_o a_o scarce_a credible_a quantity_n of_o moisture_n be_v retain_v which_o return_v both_o by_o

reject_v as_o excrementitious_a yet_o i_o suppose_v they_o do_v it_o only_o when_o consideration_n be_v from_o home_n of_o its_o usefulness_n in_o the_o mastication_n of_o our_o food_n wherein_o as_o some_o say_v lie_v the_o first_o concoction_n at_o least_o therein_o lie_v the_o main_a preparation_n for_o the_o grand_a concoction_n in_o the_o ventricle_n the_o constant_a mixture_n of_o our_o
