A18903	A true and admirable historie, of a mayden of Confolens, in the prouince of Poictiers that for the space of three yeeres and more hath liued, and yet doth, vvithout receiuing either meate or drinke. Of whom, his Maiestie in person hath had the view, and, (by his commaund) his best and chiefest phisitians, haue tryed all meanes, to find, whether this fast & abstinence be by deceit or no. In this historie is also discoursed, whether a man may liue many dayes, moneths or yeeres, without receiuing any sustenance. Published by the Kings especiall priuiledge.; Abstinens Confolentanea. English	Citois, François, 1572-1652.; Munday, Anthony, 1553-1633.; Coeffeteau, Nicolas, 1574-1623, attributed name.	1603 (1603)	STC 5326; ESTC S118585	35,171	122

come_v to_o yield_v itself_o under_o the_o tyranny_n of_o one_o alone_a give_v thereby_o reasonable_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o course_n of_o life_n keep_v itself_o for_o so_o long_a time_n as_o natural_a heat_n do_v abundant_o disperse_v itself_o with_o the_o radical_a humour_n and_o that_o the_o elementary_a quality_n do_v hold_v a_o good_a sympathy_n among_o themselves_o in_o their_o harmony_n &_o kind_a accord_n which_o we_o call_v temperature_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v blameless_a to_o define_v life_n by_o these_o two_o cause_n that_o be_v to_o say_v heat_n and_o temperature_n because_o it_o behoove_v to_o take_v the_o definition_n by_o the_o cause_n which_o be_v most_o near_o now_o heat_n be_v the_o most_o near_a instrument_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o temper_n next_o that_o of_o natural_a heat_n which_o dispose_v and_o accommodate_v it_o to_o diverse_a action_n then_o this_o causal_n definition_n be_v well_o derive_v from_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a occasion_n of_o life_n which_o here_o we_o have_v allege_v by_o the_o authoritic_n of_o aristotle_n nevertheless_o haruet_n go_v after_o another_o fashion_n he_o define_v the_o life_n of_o man_n to_o be_v a_o action_n of_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n produce_v into_o the_o body_n of_o man_n but_o this_o definition_n be_v not_o subtle_a enough_o for_o first_o &_o foremost_a life_n be_v no_o action_n at_o all_o of_o the_o soul_n otherwise_o it_o shall_v be_v the_o soul_n that_o live_v and_o not_o the_o body_n but_o life_n be_v a_o abide_n as_o have_v be_v say_v or_o a_o union_n of_o the_o soul_n with_o the_o body_n according_a as_o aristotle_n describe_v in_o another_o of_o his_o book_n whereof_o soon_o metaph._n 8._o metaph._n after_o proceed_v action_n here_o i_o add_v that_o the_o action_n of_o life_n be_v to_o understand_v to_o smell_v to_o move_v and_o to_o nourish_v if_o life_n be_v a_o action_n than_o it_o be_v a_o action_n of_o a_o action_n which_o be_v most_o absurd_a or_o else_o if_o life_n be_v a_o action_n of_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n in_o so_o much_o then_o as_o she_o be_v reasonable_a the_o corporal_a part_n shall_v then_o be_v drive_v to_o perform_v they●_n operation_n as_o receive_v food_n for_o nourishment_n to_o beget_v her_o like_a only_o by_o reason_n and_o the_o intellect_n &_o not_o by_o any_o natural_a sense_n but_o peradventure_o haruet_n have_v draw_v his_o definition_n from_o other_o have_v read_v that_o life_n be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n which_o word_n of_o act_n he_o have_v convert_v into_o action_n or_o act_n be_v that_o which_o the_o greek_n call_v e●telecheia_n which_o be_v a_o perfection_n efficacy_n and_o move_a power_n of_o itself_o far_a enough_o differ_v from_o that_o which_o they_o call_v ergon_n and_o so_o one_o may_n to_o some_o purpose_n define_v life_n a_o act_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o the_o body_n that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o power_n &_o virtue_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o union_n thereof_o with_o the_o body_n whence_o be_v casie_a to_o be_v understand_v that_o take_v life_n general_o it_o shall_v rather_o be_v impute_v to_o natural_a heat_n as_o to_o the_o organ_n of_o the_o soul_n then_o unto_o reason_n in_o case_n notwithstanding_o that_o this_o heat_n still_o abide_v always_o unite_v with_o the_o radical_a moisture_n which_o although_o that_o day_n by_o day_n it_o be_v consume_v by_o this_o heat_n yet_o nevertheless_o nature_n provide_v a_o subrogation_n daily_o of_o new_a which_o she_o borrow_v from_o the_o nouriture_n we_o receive_v as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v already_o heretofore_o but_o haruet_n imagine_v that_o these_o nourishment_n serve_v yet_o to_o another_o use_n which_o be_v say_v he_o to_o relieve_v &_o fortify_v the_o spirit_n the_o which_o i●ubert_n have_v omit_v as_o if_o under_o this_o name_n of_o radical_a moisture_n we_o shall_v comprehend_v only_a moisture_n by_o itself_o &_o not_o the_o spirit_n likewise_o and_o what_o be_v he_o who_o will_v deny_v that_o the_o spirit_n be_v not_o restore_v &_o strengthen_v both_o by_o eat_v and_o drink_v you_o have_v in_o very_a truth_n great_a store_n of_o thing_n here_o chaw_v and_o eat_v unprofitable_o and_o to_o little_a purpose_n and_o of_o abound_v that_o which_o he_o propose_v against_o hypocrates_n in_o the_o 14._o aphorism_n of_o his_o 2._o book_n be_v altogether_o paradoxical_a to_o wit_n that_o he_o in_o who_o heat_n be_v most_o languish_a have_v the_o more_o need_n of_o nourishment_n which_o he_o prove_v by_o the_o example_n of_o a_o forty-yeere_n age_a man_n who_o say_v he_o receive_v more_o food_n than_o any_o infant_n of_o two_o or_o three_o day_n in_o who_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v a_o advantage_n of_o this_o heat_n according_a to_o hypocrates_n himself_o behold_v in_o my_o judgement_n a_o argument_n very_o feeble_a if_o one_o shall_v bring_v in_o all_o that_o he_o fail_v in_o &_o if_o also_o we_o shall_v oppose_v the_o organ_n of_o the_o twain_o the_o one_o against_o the_o other_o for_o to_o the_o end_n that_o under_o this_o word_n infant_n no_o cavillation_n may_v be_v cover_v i_o call_v all_o they_o infant_n which_o be_v under_o 14._o year_n of_o age_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o greek_n do_v understand_v this_o word_n paidi●_n they_o i_o say_v that_o according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o their_o maw_n or_o little_a belly_n do_v take_v more_o food_n than_o man_n of_o middle_n &_o perfect_a age_n as_o well_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o power_n of_o the_o faculty_n which_o seethe_v or_o boil_v the_o food_n whence_o proceed_v a_o speedy_a riddance_n thereof_o as_o by_o their_o frequent_a exercise_n during_o the_o which_o time_n good_a store_n of_o their_o substance_n glide_v itself_o through_o the_o pore_n into_o the_o skin_n to_o the_o end_n i_o may_v be_v silent_a also_o in_o the_o two_o necessity_n allege_v by_o hypocrates_n that_o infant_n have_v of_o eat_v to_o wit_n for_o nourish_v &_o to_o give_v increase_a to_o the_o body_n now_o the_o strength_n of_o the_o faculty_n which_o boil_v the_o meat_n in_o our_o stomach_n depend_v much_o upon_o temperature_n and_o moderation_n but_o that_o be_v when_o it_o be_v
