reality For the Elements are only to be divided by Reason and not by actual Operation D. What Difference is there between Principles and Elements C. The Difference is twofold First The Elements proceed out of others before them and out of one another But Principles proceed neither from others nor from themselves but out of themselves produce all Natural things Secondly The Elements are of the same Genus with those things of which they are Elements But Principles cannot be of the same Genus with those things of which they are Principles Wherefore in regard that Elements are Bodies it is apparent that those things of which they are Elements are Bodies but the Principles of Bodies are Incorporeal D. How many Elements are there C. Four Fire Air Water and Earth which frequently by Hippocrates are call'd Hot Moist Cold and Dry. D. By what Arguments are the Elements prov'd to be four C. Chiefly by three First because they are the first four Elements liable to the sense of Feeling and so many real Agreements of Tangible Qualities Next because the four Elements concur to the forming of mix'd Bodies Lastly Because all mixt Bodies are dissolv'd back into the four Elements D. I would have thee demonstrate how Human Bodies are compos'd of these four Elements C. It is the general Assent of all that our Bodies are compos'd of Organic Members in the first place then those Organic Members are perfected out of a Composure of similar parts which similar parts deduce their Original from the Seed and Maternal Bloud both proceeding from a mixture of Humors which mixture arises from the Meat and Drink put into the Body the product of which whether the Flesh of Land-Creatures or of Fish whether Fruit-Trees or Herbs and Flowers is only the promiscuous concourse and mixture of the Elements Seeing then our Nourishment proceeds from the Elements from our Nourishment the Humors from the Humors the Similar Parts from the Similar Parts the Organic Members from the Organic parts of Human Body it is manifest that the same is compos'd according to the method of Nature out of the four Elements Moreover that Human Bodies consist of those first Elements is plain from their last Dissolution for that when a man dies all things return from whence they came Thus the innate heat dissipates and flies away to the Element of Fire His Breath returns partly to the Fire partly to the Air. The flowing Humor becomes Water again The more solid thick and firm parts when once the Moisture is exhausted dry up and moulder to dust This the most admired Hippocrates first gave us to understand where he declares that when Man expires every thing separates to its proper Nature and returns to those Elements of which it was at first compos'd The Moist to the Moist the Dry to the Dry the Hot to the Hot and Cold to the Cold. D. Tell us more plainly how human Body is generated out of the four Elements The Body of Man is not compos'd of the Bodies of the Elements alone but of their conjoyn'd Qualities nor these neither pure but intermixt and temper'd according as they act of suffer among themselves D. Repeat the Qualities of the several Elements C. Fire is hot in the Extream remisly dry Air moist in Extremity remisly hot Earth cold in the Extream remisly moist The Earth dry in the Extream remisly cold So that the first four Qualities are Heat Cold Moysture and Drought Of which the Elements are the first Subjects and out of their Mixture and Temperament our Bodies are compos'd which while the Mixture and Temperament remain equal and just are in perfect Health but when that Mixture and Temperament fails or is alter'd by some Accident the Body becomes distemper'd D. What is Mixture C. Mixture is the Union of Alter'd things apt to be mixt D. How is Mixture made either according to the Qualities or the Forms or in the whole C. Qualities are alter'd Forms united the whole Elements mixt with the whole D. Shew me more distinctly the Reason of Mixture C. Alteration precedes Mixture or rather the Conflict of contrary Qualities precede the acting and suffering of the Touch for all Physical Agents act by the Touch. And therefore all Elements that concur to constitute a mixt Body touch one another in the first place then act one upon another by their Repugnancy and Contrariety and so by their mutual acting and suffering divide themselves into the smallest parts imaginable make way and enter every where and this is call'd Mixture in the whole D. Then you say Substances are mixt with Substances C. Why not D. Because no Mixture is made without Repugnancy but Substance is not repugnant to Substance C. Substance is not repugnant to Substance of it self as it is Substance but in respect of its Qualities So Fire in its whole Form and Substance does not resist Fire but one in its Quality Fire being hot and Water cold Alteration is not a mutation or change of Forms but Qualities The Elements through their mutual Contests are alter'd in their Contests are alter'd in their Qualities and are temper'd by their being broken and pierc'd taking away the Repugnancy they are easily united But from the Union of the Forms of every Element one Form of a mixt Body arises Of Temperaments D. What is a Temperament C. A Temperament is a proportion of the four chief Elementary Qualities proper for the true exercise of the Natural Functions Avicen defines a Temperament to be a Quality arising from the Elements proportionably mixt Galen calls it the Beginning of Natural Functions and Faculties Averrhoes the Form of a mixt Body But this last Definition does not please me because the form of a mixt Body is a Substance but Temperament is an Accident in the Order of Qualities D. Think you a Mixture of the first Qualities may be made without a Mixture of the Elements C. By no means For tho in this Temperament differs from Mixture that the latter is made proper to the Elements the former to the Qualities yet are they so conjoyn'd that neither Mixture can be made without the aid of Efficient Qualities nor Temperament without the substance of all the Elements So that Temperament is a kind of Harmony of the four principal Qualities proceeding from the Mixture of all the Elements D. How many are the Differences of Temperaments in general C. Nine One Temperate eight without Temperature of which four are simple Hot Cold Moist Dry and as many compounded as Hot and Moist Hot and Dry Cold and Moist and Cold and Dry. D. What is that which is said to be Temperate C. That which the Greeks call well-temper'd which is as it were the Rule and Measure of all Temperaments D. Of how many kinds is it C. Twofold The one Temper'd absolutely and to weight the other to Justice in several Genus's D. What call ye Temperament absolute and to weight C. That in which there is an even and equal Portion

Breast for the Air is not drawn nor the Vapors excluded without the motion of the Breast D. Which are the Instruments for the Pulses C. The Arteries D. Which is the principal Organ of the Natural Functions C. The Liver for it is the Original of the natural Faculty and of all the Veins and the first Instrument of the generation of Blood D. How many sorts of Organs are subservient to the natural Faculty C. Two sorts for some are appropriated for nourishment others appointed for generation D. Which are the assisting Organs of nourishment C. They are of three sorts some for preparation some for purgation and some for distribution of the Nourishment D. Which are for preparation of the Nourishment C. The Mouth and Stomach prepare the Nourishment the one by Mastication the other by Concoction D. Which serve for Purgation C. They are of two sorts for it is the Office of some to purge the Chylus for the Excrements of the Chylus are sent forth from the Belly but the Bladder of the Gall the Spleen the Kidneys and Bladder are the Organs appointed to purge the Bloud for they receive and separate from the Bloud those excrementitious Humors begot in the Chylous matter at the time that it turns to Bloud D. Which serve for the Distribution of the Nourishment C. The Veins D. Thou hast reck'nd up all the Organs serving to Nourishment now give me an accompt of the Organs of Generation C. The Organs of Generation some are common both to Male and Female some proper to each Sex D. which are common to both Sexes C. Testicles and Spermatick Vessels as well preparing as conveighing the Seed D. Which Proper C. The Yard to the Male the Womb to the Female Of the Humors D. Having thus reck'nd up the parts containing now for the parts contain'd Which then are the Parts contain'd C. The fluid parts which are supported by the help of others such as are the Humors and Spirits D. How many Humors are contain'd in the Body C. Besides the Primogeneous Humor or that which comes naturally of it self there are two other adventitious that is to say the Alimentary and Excrementitious D. What d' ye mean by the Primogenious Humor C. A certain Oily substance bred in the more solid parts of the Body from their first Original being the Basis and Seat of Spirit and innate Heat and is therefore call'd by the name of Radical Moisture D. Which d' ye call the Alimentary humors C. The Juices of the solid parts appointed for nourishment which derive their original from a commixture of the four Elements D. Which the Excrementitious C. The superfluous moisture in the Body useful to Nature D. How are the Alimentary humors distinguished C. Into Primary and Secondary D. Which are accompted the Primary C. Those which are distributed by the Chylus in the Liver by the Power of its natural inbred heat through the Veins to the several parts of the Body for their Nourishment D. How many Primary Humors are there C. Four Bloud Choler Melancholy and Flegm Which are all mix'd together in the Veins This mixture of the four Humors is call'd the Sanguinary Mass by reason that the Bloud has the greatest share in it D. What is to be understood by the Word Blood C. The Word Blood is sometimes taken in a diffusive Sence for the whole Mass of the Bloud but properly it signifies the more pure and enlivening part of it D. What is the Temperature of the Bloud C. The Bloud generally taken for the whole Mass of Bloud is well temper'd in regard the temperature arises from an equal mixture of the future contrary humors together with a just proportion and decent Harmony of the same but being consider'd in it self as pure and limpid it is hot and moist and somthing of the nature of Air Nor is it differenc'd from the rest of the humors by reason of this peculiar temper only but also by its Consistency Colour Taste and Use D. What is the Consistency of the Bloud what its Colour Taste and Use C. The Bloud is of a consistency so thin that while it is kept within the bounds of Nature it appears neither thicker nor thinner of a red Colour and sweet Taste It nourishes chiefly the musculous parts while it hai the predominancy and makes men fleshy lively handsom good disposition'd and cheerful D. In what Ages is the Bloud most prevalent C. In Children Youth and Young men thus Galen affirms That Boys Young men and Striplings between both enjoy most of the sanguine Humor as in whom the first Principles of Life are yet most vigorous D. When does it most abound in the Body C. The Bloud is most plentiful in the Spring because then the Frosts are dissolv'd and the Waters are let loose according to the Opinion of Hippocrates D. What is Choler C. Alimentary Choler is the more thin part of the Sanguinary Mass partaking of the Nature of Fire in Temperament hot and dry of a pale or yellow Colour bitter in Taste and causes men to be lean tough active rash and hasty nourishing those parts which are most akin to its Nature wherein it differs from the excrementitious D. What is the excrementitious Choler C. That which is sent to the Bladder or Bagg of the Gall to hasten the expulsion of the Excrements and to cleanse the Guts of any slimy matter sticking to them D. In what sort of persons is Choler most predominant C. Yellow Choler abounds most in those who are in the Prime of their Age as Galen avers D. When does it most abound C. Choler abounds most in the Summer as Hippocrates declares as also in a dry season of the Air for that drought renders the hands more Choleric in quality as Galen delivers his judgment D. What is Melancholy C. Alimentary Melancholy is the thicker part of the Sanguinary Mass of the nature of the Earth in temper cold and dry of a black colour sowr in taste and renders men sad thoughtful morose severe and constant it nourishes the most solid and dry parts of the Body as the Bones where it differs from the excrementitious D. Which is the excrementitious Melancholy C. That which is carried to the Milt where it is separated from the more useful Juice that affords it nourishment and so poured out into the Stomach to excite the Appetite and to strengthen the Faculty which retains the meat there during Concoction D. What sort of People are most subject to Melancholy C. Black Melancholy is most exuberant in the declining Age of Men by the Authority of Galen D. When does it most abound in the Body C. Black Melancholy abounds most in the Autumnal Season as Hippocrates relates D. What is Flegm C. Alimentary Flegm is the more liquid part of the sanguinary Mass of the nature of Water in temper cold and moist of a white colour and sweet Taste or rather without any savour It makes men sloathful sleepy dull fat white and
