be_v the_o spital_n be_v more_o mattery_a or_o rather_o matter_n itself_o the_o second_o be_v a_o strong_a fever_n and_o sharp_a more_o putrify_v and_o the_o ulcer_n more_o foul_a the_o three_o be_v an_o often_o and_o violent_a cough_n more_o than_o former_o often_o because_o of_o the_o great_a provocation_n and_o little_a evacuation_n therefore_o nature_n labour_v to_o do_v that_o at_o divers_a time_n which_o the_o can_v do_v at_o once_o and_o it_o be_v a_o strong_a cough_n not_o only_o because_o the_o great_a sharpness_n of_o the_o water_n do_v more_o violent_o stir_v up_o the_o expulsive_a faculty_n but_o also_o because_o of_o the_o wear_n away_o of_o the_o solid_a part_n the_o breast_n be_v make_v more_o hollow_a hence_o come_v a_o hoar_v and_o sound_a cough_n as_o from_o a_o hollow_a place_n the_o four_o sign_n be_v pine_v and_o want_n of_o appetite_n which_o make_v they_o lean_a now_o the_o want_n of_o appetite_n come_v from_o the_o distillation_n which_o do_v not_o only_o fall_v upon_o the_o spirital_a member_n but_o also_o upon_o the_o natural_a especial_o the_o stomach_n who_o mouth_n be_v thence_o weaken_a to_o the_o loss_n of_o appetite_n as_o also_o from_o the_o putrid_a vapour_n send_v thither_o either_o from_o the_o fever_n or_o the_o ulcer_n the_o last_o sign_n be_v a_o loose_a belly_n which_o come_v from_o phlegm_n fall_v from_o the_o head_n by_o which_o in_o time_n the_o stomach_n and_o gut_n be_v weaken_v and_o the_o retentive_a faculty_n destroy_v and_o this_o kill_v the_o patient_n as_o we_o shall_v show_v more_o at_o large_a in_o the_o prognostic_n to_o these_o sign_n of_o hypocrates_n we_o may_v add_v some_o other_o the_o first_o be_v a_o great_a extenuation_n of_o the_o whole_a body_n so_o that_o all_o the_o musculous_a flesh_n be_v consume_v and_o the_o bone_n appear_v only_o cover_v with_o skin_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o nail_n be_v crooked_a because_o the_o flesh_n which_o be_v in_o the_o top_n of_o the_o finger_n to_o hold_v up_o the_o nail_n be_v consume_v to_o this_o you_o may_v add_v difficulty_n of_o breathe_v both_o because_o the_o faculty_n be_v weak_a as_o also_o because_o the_o bronchia_fw-la of_o the_o lung_n be_v stop_v with_o putrid_a matter_n as_o also_o because_o the_o part_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n putrify_v and_o consume_v and_o therefore_o can_v take_v in_o sufficient_a air_n to_o cool_v the_o heart_n so_o that_o what_o the_o lung_n can_v do_v by_o one_o breathe_v it_o must_v do_v by_o often_o and_o last_o we_o may_v add_v that_o in_o a_o confirm_a consumption_n that_o be_v desperate_a the_o hair_n fall_v off_o the_o cheek_n wax_v blue_a except_o it_o be_v after_o meat_n and_o then_o the_o vapour_n send_v up_o make_v the_o red_a louse_n breed_v in_o abundance_n and_o the_o foot_n swell_v neither_o need_v we_o so_o many_o sign_n for_o if_o any_o ordinary_a man_n say_v areteus_fw-la shall_v see_v a_o man_n pale_a weak_a and_o cough_v and_o very_o lean_a he_o will_v conclude_v he_o to_o be_v in_o a_o consumption_n yet_o we_o must_v observe_v diligent_o that_o sometime_o a_o violent_a catarrh_n fall_v upon_o the_o lung_n will_v resemble_v a_o consumption_n so_o that_o filth_n like_o matter_n shall_v be_v spit_v forth_o and_o thence_o may_v a_o fever_n come_v through_o putrefaction_n and_o extenuation_n of_o body_n but_o they_o who_o be_v so_o be_v easy_o cure_v by_o diligence_n in_o mean_n therefore_o let_v we_o distinguish_v this_o right_o from_o a_o consumption_n which_o be_v chief_o do_v by_o discern_v between_o putrid_a phlegm_n and_o matter_n thus_o matter_n be_v of_o a_o dun_a colour_n and_o less_o white_a than_o phlegm_n sometime_o of_o divers_a colour_n and_o be_v put_v into_o hot_a water_n it_o sink_v and_o dissolve_v but_o phlegm_n swim_v at_o the_o top_n and_o stick_v together_o by_o reaof_o its_o s●●ininess_n and_o will_v not_o dissolve_v but_o if_o some_o of_o the_o spital_n dissolve_v and_o the_o rest_n not_o it_o be_v make_v of_o phlegm_n and_o matter_n which_o often_o happen_v as_o for_o the_o prognostic_n it_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o cure_v a_o new_a ulcer_n in_o the_o lung_n but_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o cure_v a_o old_a because_o it_o be_v open_v by_o the_o continual_a motion_n of_o the_o lung_n and_o by_o cough_n so_o that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v unite_v as_o also_o the_o force_n of_o the_o medicine_n be_v go_v before_o it_o can_v come_v at_o it_o and_o the_o lose_a substance_n of_o the_o lung_n can_v be_v repair_v moreover_o a_o ulcer_n spital_n fever_n and_o leanness_n require_v contrary_a remedy_n for_o those_o thing_n which_o dry_v the_o ulcer_n do_v hinder_v spital_n increase_v the_o fever_n and_o leanness_n and_o moist_a thing_n which_o be_v good_a against_o the_o fever_n and_o leanness_n do_v make_v the_o ulcer_n more_o foul_a sometime_o the_o ulcer_n seem_v cure_a and_o there_o be_v a_o scab_n upon_o it_o but_o with_o the_o least_o motion_n it_o fall_v off_o and_o the_o disease_n return_v a_o consumption_n which_o come_v from_o a_o small_a ulcer_n of_o short_a continuance_n although_o it_o be_v difficult_a yet_o be_v not_o uncurable_a if_o proper_a medicine_n
