Arms Hands and Fingers to stand or go with the Thighs and Legs with the mandible which alone of all the Bones in the Head is firm to exercise most stronge Motions firmly to take things and devide them with the Teeth the Motions weaker then these are those which are perfected only in the fleshy and menbranous Members placed in the Face As to open and shut the Mouth and Lips the Ey-brows or Eyes also to move the Eyes the hurts of which Motions have two differences chiefly that either they are defective or depraved Voluntary Motions are defective because they are weakend by themselves or Abolisht for by accident also when by reason of pain in a part its Motion is omitted because it would increase the pain yet it is improperly said that it cannot be moved which case is to be referd to pains where also it shal be explained But Voluntary Motions are debilitated A Weakness of Motion especially the stronger when they are done with a certain weakness in its divers Kinds which are Sluggishness Weariness after labor a Spontanious Weariness which we will explain together in the first Chapter of the Weakness of Motion Voluntary Motions are abolisht Impotency of Motion both the strong and the weaker when they are not perfected at all or at least wise not so much as was needful as it is wont to come to pass in its diverse kinds the chief of which are a Palsy Spasme Contraction and their diverse Species as a Flatulent Spasme a Trisme a wreathing of the Mouth a Doglike Spasme a Gibbus Strabisme c. of which we will treat together under the title of Impotency of Motion in the second Chapter Voluntary Motions are depraved The Depravation of Morion chiefly the strong but with them the weaker also when they proceed not rightly or more then was fitting as it happens in some of its kinds which are chiefly Restlesness Trembling Palpitation Rigor Horror Retching Gaping Tinckling of the Eyes which shall be handled in Depraved Motion Chap. III. All motions of Breathing also are apparent to the senses and are perfected by divers Organs of the Breast Neck and Jawes and that two waies by drawing in and breathing out the Air which Motion we cannot intermit at our will when nature doth attempt it whence it shall be called Natural Respiration the other is performed only by breathing out the Air with a sound which with our will we can omit and it may be called a Voluntary Expiration or because it vtters a Voice Vocal expiration which also is twofold as it brings forth a Voice simply t is called a Voice but as it makes an Articulate voice t is called Speech the which three Respiration Voice and Speech do vary in that that either they are Defective or Depraved They are defective The defect of Respiration when they are not done or not sufficiently in many kinds of it which are Strangling Suffocation difficulty of breathing Asthma Suffocation of the Womb Night-Mare defect of Voice and Speech Stammering which we will describe together in the Defect of Respiration Chap. IV. They are Depraved when they are done Evil Respiration either not Naturally or Violently in divers kinds as are quick Breathing Sighing Yawning Hiccups Sneezing Cough Hoarsness which shal be explained in Evil Respiration Chap. V. The motions of Excretions under which we may comprehend not only those when some things is cast forth of the body which are naturally perfected by the passages of the body destined for it that fall under the sense and are done by our Will or at leastwise are regulated by it are the passage through the Gullet going to stool Pissing Bringing forth which motions in as much as they are functions of the body are somtimes defective when they are not done or not as much as was convenient somtimes they are depraved when they are not retained to the destined time which come to pass when the excretion is unseasonable or too much but because somthing is rejected in all of them we wil describe in the Rejections all such like natural excretions with those Preternatural but here we wil handle them in as much as these functions are Defective or are not performed One passage through the Gullet or Aesophagus is The defect of passage through the Gullet which is naturally inwards in swallowing but the other by compulsion outwards by vomiting of the kinds of both defects viz. the difficulty of Swallowing and Vomiting we wil treat in the Defect of passage through the Gullet Chap. VI. The one kind of defect of dejections which is performed partly by nature The defect of Stools partly by the wil viz. Costiveness of the Body shall be explained in Defect of Stools Chap. VII The Defects of Pissing The defect of Pissing which the Will effecteth partly and chiefly yet Nature helping which are an Ischury Dvsury are described in the Defect of Pissing Chap. VIII The two kinds of Defect of bringing forth which motion is made by the force of Nature our Will assisting which are a Difficulty of bringing forth and an Imperfect Birth shal be explained in the Defect of bringing forth Chap. IX Involuntary motions are not all of them but some only are conspicuous to the senses which Nature alone doth attempt either for preservation of life called Vital Motions or for Nourishment and are called Nutritive Motions or for Propagation of the kind and and they are named Motions of Generation from whence also proceed three kinds of hurts of Involuntary motions viz. of the Vital of Nutrition and Generation The Vital motions do manifest themselves in our strength and in the motion of the Heart and Pulse of the Arteries which are hurt in this that either they are Defective or Depraved They are defective when they are abolisht or impaired The defect of vital motion in the following kinds a failing of the strength a defect of Courage in the Agony of Death which we shal explain together in The Defect of Vital motion Chap. X. They are depraved when the motion of the Heart and Pulses are too much or amiss Vital motion depraved in these two kinds the Motion and Pulse of the Heart Depraved the Palpitation of the Heart of which we shal treat in the defect of Vital Motion Depraved Chap. XI The Motions of Nutrition or which are made for Nourishments sake being four to wit Attractive Retentive Concoctive and Expulsive cannot all of them be perceived by the Senses neither do we perceive how the Retentive or Concoctive works or when they are hurt by the proper hurt of that motion but we know it by other things which follow from thence But in Attraction we manifestly find that Motion when Nature desires Meat and Drink and in Excretion when Nature expels somwhat out of the Body by its proper force we plainly observe its motion as in other Excretions in which our Will is Auxilary to it whence we meet with

no other in the Heart for it is sufficient by touching the Arteries to know the vital strength especially in regard the motion of the pulse is answerable to that of the Heart Also the Defect of the Heart is known by the breathing In the pangs of Death there is extream weakness Extream weakness in the hour of death which is more or less longer or shorter In which although the conflict between life and death or Convulsions the Members are moved yet the strength is gone And the pulse intermitteth and ceaseth like the flame of a Candles end that somtimes blazeth with a little refreshment from the grease but goeth out again when that is wanting And the motion of the Heart and Breathing are much stirred up in the Agony before they cease so that the whol breast is shaken and the Nostrils moved the body sweats and farteth which caused the Poets to say the Soul went out And death being at hand the heat leaves the external remote parts as Hands Feet Nose by degrees and the rest while the breast is warm a while til all the breath ceaseth the mouth and Eyes remaining open and the body turned like a clay colour we are certain the Soul hath left the body Sometimes while the man liveth the strength is taken away for a time Syncope or Swooning and all the Functions of the whol body suddenly Pulse and Motion ceasing so that it cannot be felt at least In the Disease called Deliquium Lipothymy or Lipopsychy in Greek if it be great 't is called Syncope And then all breath is gone so that you cannot perceive it by a Feather applied to the Nose or the like which may be stopped in this case only during the Fit while the motion of the heart is staied and hath no need of Breathing without Death But while the the Heart moveth it cannot want Breath because it procureth vital spirits In this Syncope they fall suddenly only with a noise in the Ears or hissing the strength being lost as in an Apoplexy if the Syncope be great but they differ in this that in the Apoplexy the Heart and Arteries beat and they breath though with difficulty and obscurity There is also a cold sweat called Snycoptical or Diaphoretick not from the digested substance of solid things but from the conflict of nature and the dissipation of the Spirits which is so great that not only thin humors but also the Dung and Urin break forth And because then heat vanisheth from the outward parts there is a cold sweat remaining and a paleness all over in those places that should be red by nature shewing it self first in the Lipps Somtimes there is a particular weakness when the internal or external Organs are deprived Particular weakness and it is called the weakness of that part not every weakness that comes from a Disease but as shal be shewed in the causes that which comes from the loss of the flourishing vertue Such as is sometimes in the Stomach Liver Brain Eyes Joynts or Members which shal be spoken of in those accidents which are produced thereby The Causes The Cause of all failing of strength The cause of all want of strength is in the vital spirit in man when it is not nourished with another spirit or moisture or consumed fainting and weakness of particular parts dependeth upon the inbred and inhaerent spirit of the similary parts which makes the spiritual substance of parts as they call it and giveth living vertue or life and strength and heat which is natural This natural spirit or heat being inbred in every substance of parts as in the Heart which though it abound with other yet hath this in it as necessary for life hath need to be continually nourished and renewed by the vital spirit made in the left ventricle of the Heart and communicated to all the parts by the Arteries as to the substance of the Heart by the coronary Arteries called the influent spirit that it might be the matter that sustains the innate spirit and because it easily disperseth it ought to be in great plenty through the body And hence is it that the heart being the shop where that spirit is made alwaies stands in need of Air and Blood whereof it is made Wherefore if they be wanting or but little there is one cause why strength faileth As when for want of breath the heart wants Air then Death follows except its motion were hindered by other causes as shal be shewed in the causes of swooning Because the Heart being dilated by motion often not filled with matter for vital sptrits dieth And this cannot befall it while it moveth not because it may subsist a while with its own spirits as other parts So we shewed in a Syncope wherein they revive after a long stopping of the breath But seeing Blood mixed with Air in the Lungs affordeth fit matter for animal spirits if it be consumed by great want of nourishment or Arrophy or stopped in the Vessels so that it cometh not to the parts there must be weakness But no man living can be so without blood that the Lungs should be so empty which usualhave so much or the Vessels that are so large by which the Blood is carried with Air from the Heart should be so obstructed Only strength fails in this respect that spirits are not made or being made they are suddenly dissipated which causeth the innate spirits to subsist no longer And that either when they altogether vanish and leave the body as in the Agony of Death or they depart for a time from the Heart and return again as in swooning Or when they are fewer then are necessary as in Weakness Also strength must needs fail when there is want of substance making moisture in regard the innate spirit is nourished not only with the infinent spirit but by radical moisture which consumeth dayly And so it is the occasion of Death or Weeknes● as it is wanting in the Heart where it is the proper nourishment of the spirit or in any other parts But if the innate spirit ca●●ed the spiritual substance of the parts or called the natural heat be extinguished or weakened or any part cold Then if it be in the Heart which hath as I shewed its proper native heat or innate spirit besides the vital which it aboundeth with otherwise there had been no coronal Arteries and be spent Death follows but if it be diminished there is a general faintness of the whol body as a particular weakness of some other member if it be in them But now I shal shew what causeth the dissipation of both the innate spirit called native heat and of the Influent spirit by which it is susteined And how the humor that feeds it is consumed by natural and adventitious courses They who have more innate spirit or natural heat The constipation of radical moisture through age is the cause of weakness and radical moisture are more strong
