supposed to lenifye a Cough and other vertues would be obtused and altered into other qualities or if we should admit that supposal they could not be thought to auxiliate the Cough in so short a space as they do Having now given you a divertisement in declaring the parts Mandant we are to proceed in illustrating whence the said salin and sulphurous productions receive their direction or first motion that renders them Anarrhopous not passing by to indigitate point at the parts Transmittent Wee 'l suppose the Spleen the chiefer of the two harths or parts Mandant and principally obstructed in its lower parts and Splenick branch whence a potent heat breaking forth causes the Orgasmus a swelling fermentation to boyle or tend upwards or rather sublimes the forementioned calcined Salts through the Arteries up into the right Ventricle of the Heart where having passed another reverberation are propelled into the Lungs through the Vena arteriosa Moreover we must likewise allow a small commixture of Sulphur to the Salts which doth not only contribute a force to the calcination but a facility to the sublimation This fixt Vitriolat or sometimes Armoniack Salt being impelled into the pores of the Spungy flesh of the Lungs meets there with a serosity or waterish kind of moisture dissolving it immediately into an Oleum per Deliquium an oyly liquor like other calcined Salts are apt to do when they arrive to any waterish moisture as being put in a Cellar or placed over warm water The salt now turned into a corrosive liquor or oyl is rendred capable of penetrating piercing into the smallest and deepest pores of the Lungs whose flesh it soon dilacerates tares and gnaws into an Ulcer and not only so but being indued with a quality all other calcined Salts are as you may experience by holding Allom or Salt-peter in your mouth of attracting and raising fleam and moisture out of the Lungs and other parts adjacent doth continually incite the Lungs to avoid great quantities of spittle sleam and other sharp stinking matter by Cough Lastly the Stomach as it first sowed the Seeds of this evil so it continues likewise to foment them and act the part of another chief Mandant and in some it 's found to be sole and principal which as I expressed before being stuffed in its tunicks obstructed in the inserted Vessels and clogged round about with a weight of acrimonious humours doth likewise glow with a strong heat whereby the said salin accumulations gatherings or heaps are sublimed according to the length and direction of the intern and extern membranes of the Oesophagus or gullet to the brain by whose waterish moisture it 's likewise dissolved into an oleum per Deliquium or liquor like oyl which through its attractiing and raising of liquor doth overwhelm the brain with sleam and moisture whence because of its weight and pricking it 's continually praecipitated into the Lungs viz. according to the direction and longitude of the membranes down into the aspera arteria wind-pipe that is between its membranes not through the epyglott is the grisly cover of the wind-pipe for that would immediately set the patient a Coughing Thus a ferin Catarrh happens which through its corrosive gnawing quality oft Ulcerates the Lungs especially if seconded by those Salin sublimations from the Spleen Neither is the Liver alwayes excusable now and then transmitting a cinabrin Sulphur through the Vena cava to the Brain or Heart and thence to the Lungs being likewise generated by a reduplicated heat occasioned through the obstructions of its Capillars small veins like hairs and branches that tend to the Gall Bladder So that hereby the Spleen more frequently and principally next the Stomach then the Liver do demonstratively appear to the parts Mandant the Brain Heart Thymus Glandules of the Gullet and Tonsils the parts transmitting or only giving passage to the humours forced up thither from other parts Here you may take notice of a grand errour among Practitioners opinionating the Brain the chief part Mandant when distempered with a cold humorous intemperament and distilling into the Lungs and of this finister sentiment are they so confidently possessed that they bend all their prescripts and devises to dry up this fountain of Rheum to which purpose Crato's Amber Pils Fonseca's Decoction of Sanders Erastus his Dyet Drink of Guaiacum and Salsa absorbing Emplasters to be applyed to the head Fontanels Issues Ven●oses Cupping-glasses Vesicatories Emplasters to draw Blasters and Phlebotomy opening a Vein are all summoned in as Herculean auxiliaries helps to dry the Brain but rather the purse Another opinion they are very fond of is that the internal part of the Aspera arteria wind-pipe is the part transmittent an absurdity every drop that goes down the wrong way will confute What other ridiculous tenents they foment touching Catarrhs were a shame to recite to such as know better things How the Vital and Animal faculties prove accidental occasions of this evil through their faintness whereby they are incapacitated of propelling those noxious offensive sublimates downwards is apodictically expressed in the beginning of the eight Thesis position and therefore wee 'l supersede the needless pains of a repetition only wee 'l add the positive concurrence of the Animal and Vital Spirits in directing and derivating drawing the foresaid sublimates to the heart and brain namely encountring with each annoying and pernicious effumations smoaks are compelled to a retreat to their Spring head whither they do likewise conduct those Salin steems along with them The Recipient part is the Lungs who are partly passive in being forced to receive and partly active in attracting such corrosive Salts Their situation and connexion obliges them to receive the precipitates from the Brain Heart and Stomach their acts of expiration breathing out attract potently from the Veins Arteries and other parts as appears in those fuliginous sooty smoaks and putrid steems they expire What doth further dispose them to a necessity of receiving those salts and other malign humours a repeated Survey of Chap. 22. will aboundantly satisfie you The qualification requisite in the humour transmitted viz. the destilled liquor may easily be deduced from the premisses namely a degree of acrimony wrought into a tartarous humour by calcination reaching at least to the ascent of a Vitriolat if not an Armoniack Salt By the way take this for none of the least important remarques that this liquor that 's produced out of the solution of a Vitriolat Salt sublimed to the Brain if accidently it should penetrate into the concave of the Nerves as it would easily do since consisting of a sharp salin thin insinuating substance were it not diverted by being precipitated into distillations it ordinarily causes Convulsions and Epilepsies the Falling Sickness The Second Third and Fifth Problems being all resolved in the contents of the solution of this fourth wee 'l step over to the sixth Whether a Pulmonique Consumption never happeneth but upon spitting or coughing up blood
