divers_a part_n of_o the_o body_n unto_o which_o doctrine_n general_o propound_v two_o other_o thing_n of_o great_a moment_n must_v be_v add_v viz._n first_o that_o not_o only_o the_o seed_n and_o menstrual_a blood_n do_v produce_v hysterical_a or_o womb-sickness_n but_o divers_a humour_n also_o of_o a_o excrementitious_a nature_n flow_v into_o the_o womb_n and_o by_o a_o long_a abide_n grow_v putrefy_a and_o send_v out_o filthy_a vapour_n this_o be_v verfy_v by_o many_o ancient_a woman_n who_o be_v destitute_a of_o menstrual_a blood_n and_o of_o seed_n be_v yet_o very_a much_o subject_n to_o these_o womb-sickness_n or_o hysterical_a passion_n second_o that_o not_o only_a vapour_n arise_v out_o of_o the_o aforesaid_a substance_n be_v cause_n of_o these_o distemper_n but_o the_o very_a humour_n themselves_o be_v a_o cause_n which_o find_v no_o free_a vent_n by_o the_o vein_n of_o the_o womb_n into_o which_o as_o a_o common-shore_n nature_n disburthen_n superfluous_a humour_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o stoppage_n of_o the_o monthly_a course_n or_o of_o the_o whites_n they_o flow_v back_o again_o into_o the_o superior_a part_n of_o the_o body_n and_o do_v infect_v the_o say_v part_n with_o that_o vicious_a quality_n which_o they_o have_v contract_v by_o their_o long_a abide_n in_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o womb_n or_o by_o their_o mixture_n with_o seed_n or_o menstrual_a blood_n corrupt_v these_o foundation_n be_v thus_o lay_v down_o let_v we_o see_v how_o hysterical_a symptom_n be_v stir_v up_o by_o the_o cause_n aforesaid_a begin_v with_o the_o suffocation_n or_o

their_o poisonous_a blast_n and_o vapour_n into_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n now_o the_o most_o frequent_a and_o note_a cause_v of_o this_o commotion_n and_o agitation_n of_o these_o humour_n be_v sweet_a smell_a thing_n come_v near_o the_o patient_n nose_n or_o sweet_a meat_n take_v in_o which_o quick_o bring_v woman_n subject_a to_o this_o insirmity_n into_o their_o fit_n also_o vehement_a anger_n terror_n and_o other_o grievous_a passion_n of_o the_o mind_n now_o there_o be_v divers_a degree_n of_o this_o sickness_n according_a as_o the_o matter_n offend_v differ_v in_o

pain_n or_o sense_n of_o strangle_v the_o reason_n of_o which_o diversity_n be_v this_o that_o the_o simple_a suffocation_n and_o difficulty_n of_o breathe_v do_v arise_v from_o abundance_n of_o vapour_n which_o do_v sometime_o very_o much_o abound_v in_o hysterical_a or_o womb-sick_a woman_n especial_o when_o the_o hysterical_a passion_n and_o hypochondriacal_a melancholy_n be_v join_v

the_o patient_n feel_v herself_o as_o it_o be_v strangle_v in_o her_o throat_n depend_v upon_o a_o special_a property_n of_o the_o venomous_a vapour_n as_o there_o be_v other_o poison_n in_o the_o

since_o that_o which_o come_v from_o the_o stomach_n and_o spleen_n be_v as_o usual_a and_o as_o frequent_v if_o not_o more_o therefore_o we_o divide_v a_o epilepsy_n into_o a_o proper_a one_o and_o

his_o fit_n perceive_v as_o it_o be_v a_o cold_a air_n to_o ascend_v but_o it_o be_v remarkable_a and_o well_o know_v that_o a_o epilepsy_n come_v for_o the_o most_o part_n from_o the_o gut_n the_o matter_n that_o breed_v worm_n from_o the_o matrix_fw-la and_o other_o part_n and_o it_o be_v confirm_v by_o many_o author_n therefore_o it_o be_v manifest_a from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v how_o galens_n opinion_n may_v be_v defend_v who_o affirm_v that_o a_o proper_a epilepsy_n come_v of_o a_o imperfect_a obstruction_n of_o the_o ventricle_n of_o the_o brain_n which_o we_o can_v defend_v to_o be_v the_o constant_a cause_n as_o galen_n seem_v to_o grant_v who_o lay_v down_o no_o other_o but_o we_o be_v rather_o force_v to_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v less_o usual_a than_o the_o rest_n nor_o do_v the_o argument_n bring_v against_o galen_n any_o way_n convince_v the_o chief_a whereof_o be_v these_o first_o as_o fernelius_n say_v if_o a_o epilepsy_n come_v from_o plenty_n of_o humour_n it_o will_v come_v most_o in_o the_o sleep_n at_o which_o time_n there_o be_v plenty_n of_o humour_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o humour_n of_o which_o sleep_n be_v beget_v be_v in_o the_o substance_n not_o the_o ventricles_n of_o the_o brain_n and_o therefore_o do_v not_o stir_v up_o the_o expulsive_a faculty_n which_o reside_v most_o in_o the_o ventricles_n second_o fernelius_n say_v that_o because_o a_o epilepsy_n be_v quick_o dissolve_v it_o shall_v turn_v into_o a_o palsy_n as_o a_o apoplexy_n do_v when_o the_o humour_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o nerve_n i_o answer_v that_o in_o a_o apoplexy_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o expulsive_a faculty_n which_o be_v oppress_v by_o many_o humour_n they_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o part_n adjoin_v but_o expulsion_n be_v strong_a and_o more_o free_a in_o a_o epilepsy_n they_o be_v send_v to_o those_o part_n which_o be_v ordain_v by_o nature_n for_o their_o discharge_n and_o it_o be_v false_a which_o fernelius_n say_v that_o a_o epilepsy_n never_o end_v in_o a_o palsy_n for_o we_o have_v see_v a_o palsy_n come_v after_o it_o and_o sometime_o apoplexy_n at_o their_o first_o come_n be_v turn_v into_o convulsion_n before_o there_o be_v a_o perfect_a obstruction_n of_o the_o ventricles_n of_o the_o brain_n and_o also_o many_o epileptic_a man_n die_v by_o a_o apoplexy_n when_o a_o little_a obstruction_n turn_v into_o a_o total_a stop_n three_o against_o galen_n some_o argue_v thus_o as_o a_o complete_a obstruction_n of_o the_o ventricles_n total_o take_v away_o the_o function_n of_o the_o brain_n in_o a_o apoplexy_n so_o a_o incomplete_a obstruction_n will_v only_o diminish_v not_o deprave_v the_o function_n nor_o produce_v such_o convulsive_a motion_n as_o be_v sometime_o more_o violent_a than_o sound_a motion_n i_o answer_v that_o nature_n be_v whole_o oppress_v by_o a_o total_a obstruction_n do_v not_o labour_n for_o expulsion_n but_o she_o have_v strength_n enough_o in_o a_o half_a obstruction_n to_o move_v and_o stir_v up_o the_o brain_n to_o expulsion_n this_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o example_n of_o a_o defluxion_n fall_v upon_o the_o lung_n which_o if_o it_o fill_v the_o whole_a lung_n it_o make_v great_a difficulty_n of_o breathe_v without_o a_o cough_n as_o come_v to_o pass_v in_o a_o astma_fw-la or_o shortness_n of_o breathe_v but_o if_o a_o small_a quantity_n only_o of_o humour_n do_v fall_v the_o lung_n be_v stir_v up_o to_o expulsion_n whence_o come_v a_o cough_n the_o sign_n of_o a_o epilepsy_n be_v of_o three_o sort_n either_o they_o be_v such_o as_o
