Pleasantly if amongst Remedies those are first made use of wherewith we may obtain our ends with less molestation of the Patient Those things are called Natural which do enter in the composition of mans Body and although its first ingredient may be the universal matter of Cartesius out of whose particles variously figurated and moved according to the variety of their figures and motions those bodies do arise which though they be not the very first nor can be demonstrated absolutely simple in their dissolution yet because they are of the first order of sensible Bodies whereof others are composed they may commodiously by a Chirurgion who is an Artist of sensibles be conceived in the Body of Man as its 1. Elements whence do arise its 2. Tempers or Complexions 3. Humours 4. Parts or Limbs 5. Faculties 6. Actions And 7. Spirits Whereunto 1 Age. 2 The Sex 3 Colour 4 Commoderation 5 The Season of the Year 6 The Clime 7 And manner of Living are annexed Elements are single Bodies out of which the mixt are composed and into which they may be resolved but they in none of a singler composition They are reckoned four 1 Fire 2 Air. 3 Water 4 And Earth Whose number and station Ovid hath thus expressed Quatuor Aeternus Genitalia corpor a Mundus Continet ex illis duo sunt onerosa suoque Pondere in inferius Tellus atque Unda feruntur Et totidem gravitate carent nulloque premente Altapetunt Aer atque aere purior Ignis That is The Eternal World four Bodies comprehends Engendring all The heavy Earth descends And Water clog'd with weight Two light aspire Depress'd by none pure Air and purer Fire Which the Antient thought to evince by the Argument of mixt Bodies dissolution Thus given by Dubart●s Cela se voit a locil dans le brulant Tison Son feu court versle Ceil sanatale Maison Son air vole en fumé en cendre chet sa terre Son cau boult dans ses nocuds c. That is perfectly seen when burning wood doth send Its Fire to heaven the place from whence it did des●end Its Air then flies in smoak its Earth in ashes falls In its knots water boyls c. But the weakness of this Argument is plainly discovered by the learned Boyle in his Chymista Scepticus so that as we said before These Elements can at most be reckoned but amongst the first Classes of mixt Bodies The Elementary qualities are also four Namely 1 Heat 2 Coldness 3 Moisture 4 Driness Whereof the two first though all act in some measure compared to the latter are called Active the two others Passive 1. Fire is of a hot and dry quality 2. Aire of a hot and moist 3. Water of a moist and cold 4. And Earth of a cold and dry Temper or Complexion is a proportion of the four primary Qualities arising from the mixture of the Elements But if we consider the universal matter it may be defined A moderation of the Particles endued with contrary Qualities There are four single Tempers 1 Hot. 2 Cold. 3 Moist 4 Dry. And four compos'd 1 Hot and Moist 2 Hot and Dry. 3 Cold and Moist 4 Cold and Dry. Whereunto is added another called in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is Temperate which is distinguished 1. In a Temper according to weight when the Elements are both in mass and quality so proportioned that none can be said to predominate 2. And in another according to justice which consisteth in a temperature convenient for the exercising of all necessary actions This Temper is either of the whole body by reason of which Males are said to be hotter then Females or of the several parts whose Rule is this whatsoever is Red in the Body is Hot whatsoever is White Cold that which is Soft is Moist and that which is Hard Dry. Whence it follows That whatsoever is Red and Hard is Hot and Dry as the Heart whatsoever is Red and Soft is Hot and Moist as the Flesh What is White and Hard is Cold and Dry as the Bones and what is White and Soft is Cold and Moist as the Brains Childhood comprehending the first five and twenty years of our age is of a hot and moist temper From thence Youth proceeding to five and thirty or fourty years of a hot and dry Manhood consisting in the ten or fifteen next years is esteemed cold and dry and thence Old age till our lifes end is more or less said to be cold and moist or according to others cold and dry its moisture being but accidental and excrementitious though God can yet extend our life to a long durance as the German Poet Freinshemius elegantly expresseth I st schirr nichts ubrig mehr al 's seelen voller schnen Al 's leber voller Thod al 's leiber voller plag Al 's zeiten voller qual al 's zungen voller klag Al 's hertzen voller angst al 's augen voller trahnen That is Though nothing but a soul full fraught with longing fears Be left a deathful life a body full of pain A time full of distress a tongue but to complain A much oppressed heart and an eye full of tears The Spring is temperate Summer is hot and dry Autumn cold and dry and Winter cold and moist The Spring begins when the Sun enters the Sign Aries and continues as the other seasons with small difference do some three months whilst the Sun runs through as many Signs of the Zodiack whose number and order Virgil thus describes Primus adest Aries 1 Taurus 2 insignibus auro Cornibus Fratres 3 Cancer 4 aquatile signum Tum Leo 5 terribilis Nemeus atque innuba Virgo 6. Libra 7 subit caudaque animal 8 quod dirigit ictum Armatusque arcu Chyron 9 Corniger Hircus 10 Fusor aqua 11 simul fulgenti lumine Pisces 12. The name of Humor is given to whatsoever is perceived flowing in the Body of a living Creature endued with blood The same is first Natural or secondly against Nature The Natural is again divided into primary and secundary alimentary and excrementitious The alimentary or nourishing humors were constituted by the Antients four in number 1. Blood 2. Phlegm 3. Choler 4. Melancholly But the Modern esteem that Blood only is a fit nourishment of the Body and that the other humors flowing with it whereunto they have added the Lymphatick and Pancreatical Juice do only contribute to its effervescency or temperature as will be said hereafter amongst whcih humours there is no melancholy except the thickest and grossest part of the Blood as is found in the Atrabiliary Capsules or is evacuated by the Haemorroids be taken for it But before we expound how blood is produced let us hear how the Ancients did conceive it It is thus expressed by the Danish Poet Arocusis Du Mauge gode Kock din mad saa vel for kryder At derat Kortar hid en kraftig saft ud flyder Som Du til Leftueren vid middel
