that_o opium_n be_v not_o cold_a in_o two_o respect_n first_o that_o when_o the_o turk_n eat_v thereof_o they_o become_v cheerful_a courageous_a and_o fierce_a in_o war_n second_o that_o when_o one_o give_v two_o or_o three_o grain_n thereof_o to_o any_o sick_a person_n and_o cover_v he_o warm_v in_o his_o bed_n it_o will_v make_v he_o sweat_v more_o than_o any_o other_o diaphoretic_n which_o

make_v he_o more_o frolic_a and_o cheerful_a accidental_o second_o that_o if_o a_o man_n give_v but_o a_o cupful_a of_o cold_a water_n only_o to_o a_o sick_a man_n to_o drink_v it_o will_v questionless_a make_v he_o sweat_v etc._n etc._n whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o turk_n do_v acquire_v force_n and_o courage_n by_o temper_v their_o heat_n with_o cold_a thing_n they_o may_v very_o well_o spare_v that_o great_a labour_n and_o toil_n they_o take_v in_o sow_v their_o poppy_n and_o gather_v their_o opium_n see_v that_o spring_n and_o river-water_n may_v stand_v they_o

in_o quicken_a the_o spirit_n and_o raise_v the_o courage_n that_o it_o work_v quite_o contrary_a effect_n and_o whereas_o they_o affirm_v that_o a_o cup_n of_o water_n which_o be_v apparent_o cold_a will_v cause_v any_o sick_a person_n to_o sweat_v i_o answer_v that_o if_o it_o cause_v one_o that_o be_v in_o a_o fever_n or_o pester_v with_o some_o other_o hot_a disease_n to_o sweat_v as_o many_o

for_o like_a as_o water_v cast_v upon_o a_o hot_a anvile_n or_o burn_a stone_n immediate_o raise_v up_o vapour_n and_o fume_n ●uen_o so_o do_v water_n give_v to_o such_o a_o body_n which_o after_o

can_v procure_v sweat_n but_o by_o accident_n only_o as_o be_v say_v now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o their_o argument_n which_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o opium_n be_v cold_a in_o respect_n it_o

for_o first_o as_o opium_n provoke_v sleep_v to_o all_o those_o which_o be_v afflict_v with_o hot_a disease_n so_o do_v it_o also_o provoke_v the_o same_o in_o all_o other_o cause_n without_o

and_o distil_v from_o the_o brain_n unto_o the_o other_o part_n whence_o it_o appear_v that_o a_o man_n can_v produce_v such_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o opium_n as_o
