congeal_a power_n farthermore_o every_o day_n experience_n inform_v we_o what_o change_v and_o alteration_n be_v make_v upon_o our_o body_n as_o to_o epidemical_a disease_n by_o the_o hot_a cold_a moist_a or_o dry_a constitution_n of_o the_o season_n and_o year_n and_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_n that_o the_o chemist_n shall_v exclude_v the_o four_o first_o quality_n from_o have_v any_o causality_n in_o disease_n when_o in_o their_o own_o operation_n they_o observe_v a_o notable_a disparity_n between_o the_o effect_n of_o a_o dry_a and_o moist_a heat_n and_o they_o employ_v heat_n as_o the_o common_a instrument_n of_o almost_o all_o their_o operation_n but_o while_o i_o assert_v the_o essiciency_n of_o the_o first_o quality_n in_o the_o cause_v of_o disease_n in_o the_o humane_a body_n i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o mean_v by_o the_o word_n quality_n a_o be_v or_o entity_n distinct_a from_o matter_n or_o body_n but_o that_o i_o apprehend_v by_o hot_a cold_a moist_a and_o dry_a the_o part_n of_o matter_n or_o atom_n so_o figure_v and_o move_v as_o to_o produce_v those_o effect_n which_o we_o call_v heat_n cool_a moisten_a and_o dry_v for_o example_n we_o use_v to_o have_v a_o apprehension_n or_o notion_n of_o heat_n from_o the_o relation_n it_o have_v to_o the_o sense_n or_o as_o it_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o that_o acute_a passion_n or_o sensation_n which_o we_o feel_v in_o our_o skin_n or_o any_o other_o organ_n of_o touch_n while_o we_o be_v burn_v or_o heat_v but_o this_o be_v too_o particular_a a_o effect_n of_o heat_n only_o as_o it_o work_v upon_o a_o animal_n we_o ought_v therefore_o to_o consider_v it_o from_o its_o more_o general_a and_o comprehensive_a effect_n upon_o which_o this_o which_o be_v more_o special_a do_v depend_v which_o be_v to_o enter_v into_o the_o pore_n of_o a_o body_n to_o penetrate_v through_o the_o part_n of_o it_o and_o to_o force_v or_o rend_v they_o asunder_o from_o one_o another_o and_o so_o to_o dissolve_v the_o union_n and_o continuity_n of_o the_o body_n this_o can_v be_v understand_v to_o be_v do_v by_o a_o bare_a naked_a quality_n but_o by_o certain_a atom_n which_o be_v endue_v with_o such_o a_o motion_n figure_n and_o fize_v as_o be_v fit_a to_o penetrate_v discuss_v dissolve_v and_o perform_v all_o those_o effect_n which_o we_o usual_o attribute_v to_o heat_n on_o the_o other_o side_n since_o we_o find_v cold_a the_o most_o opposite_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o heat_n if_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o heat_n to_o dissolve_v discuss_v and_o tear_v asunder_o it_o be_v then_o the_o property_n of_o cold_a to_o congeal_v fasten_v and_o close_o together_o and_o those_o atom_n which_o by_o their_o shape_n and_o figure_n be_v fit_a and_o proper_a for_o those_o effect_n may_v with_o very_o good_a reason_n be_v call_v atom_n of_o cold_a and_o body_n make_v up_o of_o such_o particle_n cold_a body_n thus_o the_o air_n which_o be_v the_o common_a receptacle_n of_o heat_n and_o cold_a upon_o the_o blow_n of_o north-wind_n be_v usual_o fill_v with_o such_o atom_n as_o bind_v and_o congeal_v the_o earth_n and_o water_n and_o in_o the_o body_n of_o man_n both_o by_o mingle_v with_o the_o blood_n and_o close_v the_o pore_n or_o breathe_a hole_n of_o his_o body_n oftentimes_o produce_v considerable_a disorder_n as_o for_o humidity_n or_o moistness_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o fluidness_n and_o liquor_n be_v common_o say_v to_o be_v moist_a inasmuch_o as_o when_o they_o be_v pour_v upon_o hard_a and_o compact_v body_n some_o small_a part_n of_o they_o be_v leave_v behind_o either_o stick_v in_o the_o little_a cavity_n of_o the_o surface_n and_o then_o the_o body_n be_v say_v to_o be_v wet_a or_o else_o have_v insinuate_v themselves_o into_o the_o most_o inward_a pore_n and_o recess_n of_o the_o hard_a body_n which_o then_o we_o common_o say_v be_v moisten_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a dryness_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o kind_n of_o firmness_n inasmuch_o as_o a_o dry_a body_n be_v upon_o that_o score_n the_o more_o firm_a for_o be_v void_a of_o all_o moisture_n and_o now_o i_o can_v see_v why_o these_o four_o first_o quality_n as_o they_o be_v term_v shall_v be_v exclude_v from_o have_v a_o share_n in_o the_o number_n of_o the_o cause_n of_o disease_n since_o they_o be_v notable_o active_a especial_o the_o three_o first_o modification_n of_o matter_n and_o not_o only_o apt_a to_o excite_v various_a motion_n and_o cause_n as_o well_o new_a combination_n as_o dissolution_n of_o body_n in_o the_o great_a world_n but_o also_o powerful_o to_o alter_v the_o microcosm_n and_o produce_v fundry_a different_a symptom_n in_o relation_n to_o the_o motion_n and_o harmony_n of_o the_o humane_a engin._n in_o the_o next_o place_n though_o it_o be_v utter_o untrue_a that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o vessel_n four_o distinct_a humour_n but_o whatsoever_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o artery_n and_o vein_n be_v either_o the_o stale_a deflagrate_v blood_n or_o the_o alimentary_a juice_n fresh_a come_v into_o the_o vessel_n or_o else_o the_o serum_fw-la or_o whey_n return_v by_o the_o

which_o respect_n the_o person_n either_o way_n dispose_v be_v not_o improper_o say_v to_o be_v of_o a_o phlegmatic_a or_o choleric_a temper_n and_o if_o the_o adust_a or_o raw_a excrement_n be_v not_o right_o and_o due_o separate_v out_o of_o the_o mass_n by_o the_o effervenscy_n of_o the_o blood_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n why_o i_o may_v not_o say_v that_o a_o man_n abound_v with_o a_o
