the_o action_n of_o vitriol_n call_v sympathy_n you_o must_v know_v that_o there_o do_v continual_o exhale_v into_o the_o air_n little_a body_n from_o this_o mineral_n salt_n and_o to_o convince_v you_o of_o it_o you_o need_v only_o to_o put_v the_o several_a vitriol_n of_o different_a colour_n pretty_a near_o one_o another_o in_o the_o same_o place_n you_o will_v find_v after_o 12_o or_o 15_o

these_o change_n of_o colour_n can_v proceed_v but_o from_o little_a body_n which_o be_v separate_v from_o each_o kind_n of_o vitriol_n and_o mix_v in_o the_o air_n some_o part_n of_o they_o do_v

they_o into_o place_n separate_v or_o distant_a from_o one_o another_o this_o effect_n will_v in_o no_o wise_n happen_v you_o must_v also_o observe_v that_o the_o blood_n to_o which_o the_o vitriolic_a powder_n be_v apply_v retain_v some_o heat_n still_o may_v thereby_o increase_v the_o activity_n and_o number_n of_o the_o little_a body_n which_o do_v arise_v from_o the_o vitriol_n and_o

the_o virtue_n of_o vitriol_n be_v to_o stop_v the_o blood_n and_o to_o dry_v it_o you_o need_v not_o wonder_v if_o the_o volatile_a part_n which_o come_v from_o it_o do_v perform_v the_o same_o

will_v more_o easy_o stick_v in_o they_o than_o in_o other_o place_n as_o for_o the_o bandage_n and_o plaster_n use_v to_o wound_n you_o must_v know_v that_o those_o who_o do_v use_v the_o

that_o a_o very_a little_a quantity_n of_o vitriol_n be_v capable_a of_o dry_v thus_o i_o have_v give_v you_o the_o most_o rational_a explication_n that_o can_v be_v of_o a_o effect_n which_o have_v

the_o volatile_a part_n of_o the_o vitriol_n have_v happen_v to_o be_v divert_v from_o the_o wound_n by_o some_o wind_n or_o else_o because_o the_o great_a part_n of_o people_n have_v their_o blood_n

of_o all_o every_o body_n must_v grant_v that_o when_o there_o be_v obstruction_n in_o our_o body_n the_o obstruct_a matter_n do_v ferment_n and_o sour_a as_o doughty_n wine_n and_o several_a other_o

do_v increase_v its_o motion_n and_o heat_n they_o do_v cause_n that_o which_o we_o call_v a_o fever_n this_o fever_n must_v remain_v as_o long_o as_o the_o ferment_n continue_v in_o the_o blood_n and_o according_a as_o there_o come_v a_o new_a supply_n of_o matter_n in_o place_n of_o that_o which_o nature_n have_v throw_v off_o but_o if_o a_o great_a quantity_n of_o acid_n shall_v rise_v all_o

the_o obstruct_a part_n and_o there_o stop_v be_v always_o in_o a_o equal_a quickness_n and_o a_o equal_a quantity_n now_o because_o in_o a_o tertian_n the_o vessel_n wherein_o the_o obstruction_n happen_v do_v acquire_v in_o two_o day_n a_o sufficient_a repletion_n of_o matter_n to_o produce_v the_o eruption_n and_o fermentation_n i_o have_v speak_v of_o the_o fit_n do_v come_v to_o operate_v
