be_v void_a of_o itself_o for_o as_o to_o the_o proposition_n that_o because_o the_o brain_n be_v cold_a and_o moist_a therefore_o thing_n that_o be_v hot_a and_o dry_a be_v best_a for_o they_o it_o

but_o rather_o have_v a_o certain_a venomous_a faculty_n join_v with_o the_o heat_n thereof_o which_o make_v it_o have_v a_o antipathy_n against_o nature_n as_o by_o the_o hateful_a smell_n thereof_o do_v well_o appear_v for_o the_o nose_n be_v the_o proper_a organ_n and_o convoy_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o smell_v to_o the_o brain_n which_o be_v the_o only_a fountain_n of_o that_o sense_n do_v ever_o serve_v we_o for_o a_o infallible_a witness_n whether_o that_o odour_n which_o we_o smell_v be_v healthful_a or_o hurtful_a to_o the_o brain_n except_o when_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o sense_n itself_o be_v corrupt_v and_o abuse_v through_o some_o infirmity_n and_o distemper_n in_o the_o brain_n and_o that_o the_o suffumigation_n thereof_o can_v have_v a_o dry_a quality_n it_o need_v no_o further_a probation_n then_o that_o it_o be_v a_o smoke_n all_o smoke_n and_o vapour_n be_v of_o itself_o humid_a as_o draw_v near_o to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o air_n and_o easy_a to_o be_v resolve_v again_o into_o water_n whereof_o there_o need_v no_o other_o proof_n but_o the_o meteor_n which_o be_v breed_v of_o nothing_o else_o but_o of_o the_o vapour_n and_o exhalation_n suck_v up_o by_o the_o sun_n out_o of_o the_o earth_n the_o sea_n and_o water_n yet_o be_v the_o same_o smoky_a vapour_n turn_v and_o transform_v into_o rains_n snow_n dew_n hoar-frost_n and_o such_o like_a watery_a meteor_n as_o by_o the_o contrary_a the_o rainy_a cloud_n be_v often_o transform_v and_o evaporate_v in_o bluster_a wind_n the_o second_o argument_n ground_v on_o a_o show_n of_o reason_n be_v that_o this_o filthy_a smoke_n as_o well_o through_o the_o heat_n and_o strength_n thereof_o as_o by_o a_o natural_a force_n and_o quality_n be_v able_a and_o fit_a to_o purge_v both_o the_o head_n and_o stomach_n of_o rheum_n and_o distillation_n as_o experience_n teach_v by_o the_o spit_a and_o avoid_v phlegm_n immediate_o after_o the_o take_n of_o it_o but_o the_o fallacy_n of_o this_o argument_n may_v easy_o appear_v by_o my_o late_a proceed_n description_n of_o the_o meteor_n for_o even_o as_o the_o smoky_a vapour_n suck_v by_o the_o sun_n and_o stay_v in_o the_o low_a and_o cold_a region_n of_o the_o air_n be_v there_o contract_v into_o cloud_n and_o turn_v into_o rain_n and_o such_o other_o watery_a meteor_n so_o this_o stink_a smoke_n be_v suck_v up_o by_o the_o nose_n and_o imprison_v in_o the_o cold_a and_o moist_a brain_n be_v by_o their_o cold_a and_o wet_a faculty_n turn_v and_o cast_v forth_o again_o in_o watery_a distillation_n and_o so_o be_v you_o make_v free_a and_o purge_v of_o nothing_o but_o that_o wherewith_o you_o wilful_o burden_a yourselves_o and_o therefore_o be_v you_o no_o wise_a in_o take_v tobacco_n for_o purge_v you_o of_o distillation_n then_o if_o for_o prevent_v the_o colic_n you_o will_v take_v all_o kind_n of_o windy_a meat_n and_o drink_n and_o for_o prevent_v of_o the_o stone_n you_o will_v take_v all_o kind_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_n that_o will_v breed_v gravel_n in_o the_o kidney_n and_o then_o when_o you_o be_v force_v to_o avoid_v much_o wind_n out_o of_o your_o stomach_n and_o much_o gravel_n in_o your_o urine_n that_o you_o shall_v attribute_v the_o thank_v thereof_o to_o such_o nourishment_n as_o breed_v those_o within_o you_o that_o behove_v either_o to_o be_v expel_v by_o the_o force_n of_o nature_n or_o
