whenas_o a_o man_n will_v think_v it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o for_o a_o disease_n be_v more_o crude_a on_o the_o four_o than_o the_o seveuth_n day_n but_o the_o cause_n of_o this_o difference_n consist_v herein_o that_o in_o the_o small_a pock_n and_o measles_n the_o fever_n common_o begin_v at_o the_o high_a so_o that_o not_o only_o on_o the_o three_o and_o four_o day_n but_o also_o on_o the_o first_o or_o second_o day_n excretion_n may_v be_v in_o they_o critical_a but_o malignant_a fever_n proceed_v more_o slow_o and_o their_o beginning_n be_v common_o extend_v to_o the_o seven_o day_n so_o that_o excretion_n which_o then_o happen_v can_v be_v critical_a now_o that_o the_o pox_n and_o measles_n come_v so_o soon_o to_o their_o state_n and_o not_o the_o malignant_a fever_n be_v hence_o because_o the_o pox_n and_o measle-feaver_n come_v from_o the_o light_a putrefaction_n and_o rather_o from_o a_o ebullition_n of_o the_o blood_n than_o from_o any_o intense_a putrefaction_n of_o the_o matter_n and_o therefore_o nature_n by_o help_n of_o coction_n make_v it_o to_o cease_v before_o the_o seven_o day_n because_o it_o be_v a_o light_a fever_n and_o rose_n from_o the_o slight_a cause_n but_o in_o malignant_a fever_n so_o great_a and_o fordo_v be_v the_o putrefaction_n that_o it_o can_v be_v correct_v in_o the_o fourteen_o nor_o sometime_o in_o the_o twenty_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o spot_n break_v out_o before_o that_o time_n the_o disease_n be_v exasperate_v because_o nature_n be_v force_v to_o expel_v they_o without_o concoction_n and_o symptomatical_o the_o expulsion_n therefore_o of_o small_a pox_n and_o measles_n be_v cause_v by_o a_o ebullition_n of_o the_o blood_n which_o ebullition_n according_a to_o avicennas_n doctrine_n be_v twofold_a the_o one_o perfective_a the_o other_o corruptive_a the_o perfective_a or_o depurative_a be_v that_o in_o which_o only_o the_o impure_a and_o excrementitious_a part_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v by_o nature_n purge_v forth_o that_o the_o whole_a mass_n may_v afterward_o remain_v pure_a and_o then_o the_o small_a pock_n be_v innocent_a which_o be_v cure_v without_o any_o help_n of_o physic_n but_o the_o corruptive_a be_v wherein_o not_o only_o the_o excrementitous_a part_n of_o the_o blood_n but_o the_o sincere_a blood_n itself_o be_v putrefy_a whence_o arise_v dangerous_a and_o deadly_a pox_n and_o according_a as_o there_o be_v more_o or_o less_o putrefaction_n in_o more_o in_o more_o or_o few_o part_n of_o the_o blood_n so_o be_v the_o danger_n more_o or_o less_o this_o corruptive_a ebullition_n do_v chief_o happen_v when_o those_o disease_n be_v epidemical_a be_v occasion_v by_o a_o malignant_a constitution_n of_o the_o air_n by_o which_o a_o ebullition_n of_o the_o humour_n and_o a_o malignant_a putrefaction_n be_v cause_v whonce_v many_o and_o dangerous_a small_a pock_n be_v cause_v which_o be_v sometime_o according_a to_o rhasis_n the_o forerunner_n of_o the_o plague_n pock_n and_o measles_n be_v reckon_v among_o acute_a disease_n because_o ordinary_o they_o be_v terminate_v within_o the_o space_n of_o fourteen_o day_n now_o some_o do_v witty_o observe_v a_o double_a order_n of_o time_n in_o time_n in_o this_o disease_n viz._n the_o time_n of_o ebullition_n and_o the_o time_n of_o eruption_n the_o time_n of_o ebullition_n be_v common_o terminate_v in_o
