in quality so that the matter of Reparation might in a manner be eternal if the means of Reparation did not fall away But indeed in a declining age there is but a very unequal Reparation made In some parts Reparation proceeds happily and other parts grow worse and worse and from that time men begin to endure that torment which Mezentius did use to inflict namely to kill living men with the embraces of dead ones and those things which might easily be repaired do fail by being joyned to those things which can hardly be repaired For even after that men do begin to decline through age their Spirit Bloud flesh and Fat may easily be repaired but those parts which are more Porous all Membranes and Tunicles Nerves Arteries Veins Bones Cartilages most part of the Inwards and finally almost all the Organical parts are difficultly and with great losse repaired And those parts being to assist the reparation of those Reparable parts which are actually to be repaired losing their activity and strength can no longer performe their function And from thence a while after proceeds the falling to ruin of all together and those very same parts which in their own Nature are very Reparable the Organs of Reparations failing cannot be well repaired but decrease and at last totally fail And the cause of the Period is because the spirit preying alwayes like a still and gentle Flame the external air which also sucks and dries up the bodies conspiring with it at the last ruins the frame of the body and its Organs and makes them unable to performe the act of Reparation And these are the true ways of Natural Death which are carefully to be revolved in mans mind For he that knows not the ways of Nature how can he obviate and turn them Therefore there ought to be a double Inquisition one of the Consumption or Depredation of the body of man and the other of the Reparation or Refection of the same And with this proviso or Caveat that the one may be inhibited and restrained and the other promoted and comforted as much as may be and the first of these belongs chiefly to the spirits and external air by which the Depredation and waste is made the second to the whole process of alimentation which causeth the Restitution And as for the first part of the Inquisition which is of the Consumption that is for a great part common to inanimate bodies For those things which the inbred spirit which is in all Tangible things be they living or dead and the encompassing Air do operate upon inanimate things the same they do also attempt upon those things which are animate though the Vital which is added unto them partly breaks and quels those operations and partly doth most powerfully increase and augment them For it is most manifest that many inanimate things can last a long time without any Reparation whereas animate things do presently fall and are extinguished without Aliment or Reparation as the fire also Therefore there ought to be a double Inquisition First Contemplating mans body as Inanimate and without Aliment Then as it is Animate and Alimented And having spoken thus much by way of Preface let us now proceed to the Topicks of the Inquisition concerning which you must read the History of Life and Death FINIS THE NATURAL AND EXPERIMENTAL HISTORY OF THE FORM of HOT THINGS The Inquisition of Forms proceeds thus The first Aphorism UPon the proposed Nature first there must be an apparance made before the understanding of all the known Instances which agree in the same Nature though the matters be very unlike And this Collection is to be made Historically without any over-hasty Contemplation or any transcendent subtilty as for example in the Form of Hot Things Convenient Instances in the Nature of Hot Things 1. The Beams of the Sun especially in Summer and at Noon time 2. The Sum beams reflected and kept up close and drawn together as among Hills or by Wals and especially in Burning-glasses 3. Fiery Meteors 4. Burning Lightnings 5. The breaking out of fire out of the hollow parts of Hils c. 6. All manner of Flame 7. Solid things set on fire 8. Natural hot Baths 9. Liquid things boyling or heated 10. Hot smoaks and vapours and the Air it self which takes a strong and fierce heat if it be shut in especially in Reverberatories 11. Certain soultry hot times by the meer Constitution of the air without any regard of the season or time of the year 12. A subterraneal Air enclosed in certain Caves especially in winter time 13. All woolly or hairy things as Beasts Skins or Hides and Feathers have a kind of warmness in them 14. All manner of bodies as well solid as liquid as well thick as thin such as the air it self is being for a time brought near the fire 15. Sparkles out of a Flint-stone or out of Iron or Steel caused by hand-striking 16. Any kind of body strongly rubbed together as stone wood cloth c. so that sometimes Axel-trees and Naves of Wheels are set on fire and the way of kindling of fire amongst the West Indians is by Attrition 17. Green and moist herbs packt and thrust up together as Roses and Peasecods and Hay being laid up moist will many times take fire 18. Unslackt quick Lime having water thrown upon it 19. Fire when it is first dissolved by strong waters or Aqua Fortis in a Glass without setting any fire to it and so likewise Pewter c. but not in such a high degree 20. Living creatures especially and that continually their Entrails though in the Insects the heat be not so palpably perceived by the sense of feeling by reason of the smalness of their bodies 21. Horse-dung and the like Excrements of beasts being newly made 22. Strong oyl of Sulphur and Vitriol shew the effects of heat in burning of linnen 23. Oyl of Origanum and the like shew their effects of heat also in burning of the teeth 24. A strong spirit of Wine rightly made up will shew the effects of its heat in such manner that if you put the white of an egge into it it will grow together and be white almost like that of a boiled egge and a piece of bread being thrown into it will heat and be like unto a piece of toasted bread 25. Spices and hot herbs as Dragon and old Cresses c. though they be not hot in the handling neither whole nor yet the powder of them yet being a little chewed they are hot and in a manner burning upon the tongue and the Palate of the mouth 26. Strong Vinegar and all sharp sour things laid upon any part where there is no upper skin as in the eye or upon the tongue or any other part when it is wounded or galled do cause a kind of smart like unto that which is produced by heat 27. Also sharp and violent cold produceth a kind of tingling like unto burning The
