almost_o as_o a_o continual_a fever_n the_o continuity_n proceed_v from_o this_o that_o the_o chyle_n introduce_v into_o the_o blood_n can_v not_o be_v perfect_v and_o by_o consequence_n the_o mass_n of_o blood_n can_v not_o furnish_v a_o ferment_n fit_a to_o make_v the_o digestion_n of_o the_o aliment_n perfect_a it_o be_v also_o to_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n acquire_v a_o

it_o be_v from_o the_o heart_n the_o less_o hot_a it_o be_v this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o shivering_n begin_v at_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o body_n and_o continue_v until_o by_o the_o

which_o may_v perhaps_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o hazard_n rather_o than_o of_o a_o regular_a motion_n 10._o whether_o a_o great_a abstinence_n can_v cure_v a_o fever_n that_o which_o give_v occasion_n for_o this_o question_n be_v what_o i_o have_v already_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o corrupt_a and_o sharp_a chyle_n that_o be_v the_o most_o ordinary_a cause_n of_o fever_n whence_o it_o may_v be_v

few_o physician_n among_o they_o they_o remain_v four_o or_o five_o day_n together_o without_o eat_v any_o thing_n or_o take_v broth_n drink_v nothing_o but_o water_n wherein_o be_v a_o few_o pound_a

it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o the_o hazard_n of_o one_o life_n to_o undertake_v such_o a_o abstinence_n and_o we_o have_v see_v here_o a_o person_n of_o quality_n die_v with_o fast_v from_o one_o fit_a of_o a_o quartain_a to_o another_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v cure_v after_o the_o second_o or_o three_o day_n but_o you_o must_v consider_v that_o their_o drink_n which_o have_v in_o it_o somewhat_o of_o nourishment_n make_v a_o little_a chyle_n which_o may_v cause_v some_o fit_n though_o less_o than_o if_o the_o patient_n have_v take_v more_o solid_a aliment_n and_o yet_o the_o heat_n be_v at_o liberty_n from_o the_o digestion_n of_o the_o aliment_n do_v more_o easy_o dissipate_v the_o rest_n of_o the_o ferment_n the_o method_n of_o the_o most_o part_n of_o italian_a physician_n be_v yet_o more_o cruel_a and_o less_o reasonable_a for_o they_o forbid_v their_o patient_n to_o drink_v during_o the_o whole_a fit_a which_o do_v grievous_o heat_v they_o and_o
