the_o lung_n but_o we_o attest_v withal_o that_o we_o have_v see_v some_o infant_n yea_o boy_n light_o affect_v with_o this_o evil_a in_o who_o there_o be_v no_o suspicion_n of_o vitiate_a lung_n

sufficient_o prove_v that_o this_o affect_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o essence_n of_o it_o consist_v not_o in_o the_o organical_a constitution_n of_o the_o natural_a part_n the_o same_o

the_o natural_a part_n so_o that_o there_o need_v no_o more_o word_n to_o prove_v it_o the_o five_o conclusion_n this_o disease_n be_v primary_o root_v in_o the_o similary_a constitution_n of_o the_o natural_a part_n and_o therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o radical_a essence_n thereof_o it_o be_v a_o similary_a disease_n and_o because_o a_o similary_a disease_n as_o such_o be_v not_o perpetual_o simple_a but_o sometime_o various_o compound_v namely_o a_o distemper_n be_v either_o simple_a or_o compound_v and_o this_o become_v such_o not_o only_o by_o the_o first_o quality_n among_o themselves_o but_o perhaps_o by_o hide_a quality_n conjoin_v together_o or_o which_o be_v more_o agreeable_a to_o our_o conception_n especial_o in_o the_o present_a business_n by_o a_o kind_n of_o sure_a proportion_n and_o medification_n of_o the_o inherent_a spirit_n we_o judge_v this_o to_o be_v a_o compound_v disease_n and_o we_o assert_v the_o prime_n and_o radical_a essence_n thereof_o to_o consist_v in_o a_o cold_a and_o moist_a distemper_n with_o a_o defect_n and_o stupefaction_n of_o the_o inherent_a spirit_n concur_v in_o the_o inherent_a constitution_n of_o the_o

in_o this_o disease_n some_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v primary_o and_o other_o secondary_o affect_v and_o true_o to_o we_o the_o external_n part_n seem_v soon_o to_o be_v affect_v than_o the_o

be_v primary_o affect_v do_v labour_n under_o a_o notable_a cold_a distemper_n with_o penury_n and_o stupefaction_n of_o spirit_n for_o the_o brain_n perhaps_o and_o the_o bowel_n may_v be_v moderate_o hot_a and_o sufficient_o abound_v with_o spirit_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o copious_a vital_a influx_n and_o moisture_n may_v exceed_v in_o they_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o affusion_n of_o our_o over-plentiful_a aliment_n but_o the_o other_o external_n part_n be_v always_o affect_v with_o a_o cold_a and_o moist_a distemper_n and_o a_o benumedness_n of_o the_o natural_a spirit_n etc._n etc._n whereupon_o we_o assert_v that_o in_o this_o disease_n they_o be_v primary_o affect_v and_o that_o they_o alone_o be_v the_o seat_n of_o the_o first_o essence_n of_o this_o disease_n be_v this_o the_o three_o all_o the_o external_n part_n and_o those_o first_o affect_v do_v not_o equal_o labour_v under_o a_o cold_a and_o moist_a distemper_n and_o with_o benumedness_n of_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o ligament_n tendon_n and_o nerve_n be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n more_o cold_a and_o less_o moist_a the_o muscle_n or_o fleshy_a part_n be_v rather_o more_o moist_a and_o less_o cold_a the_o skinny_a part_n usual_o retain_v a_o mediocrity_n yet_o all_o the_o say_a part_n recede_v more_o or_o less_o from_o the_o natural_a towards_o a_o cold_a and_o moist_a temper_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n although_o some_o of_o the_o say_a part_n do_v require_v a_o great_a plenty_n and_o activity_n of_o spirit_n than_o other_o yet_o all_o of_o they_o a_o just_a proportion_n be_v observe_v to_o the_o plenty_n and_o activity_n respective_o due_a to_o each_o of_o they_o be_v defective_a and_o destitute_a of_o that_o just_a proportion_n chap._n v._o the_o prepose_v opinion_n be_v examine_v by_o part_n first_o that_o this_o disease_n be_v a_o cold_a distemper_n a_o objection_n and_o the_o answer_v thereunto_o that_o it_o be_v moist_a that_o it_o consist_v in_o the_o penury_n or_o paucity_n of_o the_o spirit_n a_o objection_n with_o the_o answer_n final_o that_o this_o disease_n consist_v in_o the_o stupefaction_n of_o the_o spirit_n now_o let_v we_o more_o near_o examine_v the_o opinion_n propose_v and_o assert_v it_o by_o part_n first_o that_o the_o part_n first_o affect_v do_v labour_n under_o a_o cold_a distemper_n may_v be_v prove_v first_o from_o the_o unequal_a and_o diminish_v nutrition_n of_o the_o say_a part_n for_o as_o the_o inborn_a heat_n when_o it_o be_v augment_v to_o a_o just_a proportion_n do_v very_o much_o conduce_v to_o further_a the_o concoction_n of_o the_o aliment_n so_o if_o it_o be_v too_o remiss_a it_o easy_o retard_v and_o lessen_v the_o same_o second_o the_o same_o distemper_n be_v prove_v from_o the_o slowness_n and_o unaptness_n to_o motion_n and_o also_o from_o the_o aversation_n to_o exercise_v and_o desire_v to_o rest_v for_o as_o the_o activity_n and_o agility_n of_o the_o body_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o heat_n so_o the_o tardity_n and_o slothfulness_n of_o it_o be_v in_o great_a part_n ascribe_v to_o cold_a namely_o suppose_v as_o before_o that_o this_o slothfulness_n have_v no_o dependence_n upon_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o animal_n influx_n three_o it_o be_v further_a confirm_v because_o this_o disease_n many_o time_n follow_v other_o acute_a disease_n whereby_o they_o end_v not_o seldom_o after_o the_o waste_v or_o consumption_n of_o the_o natural_a heat_n in_o a_o cold_a distemper_n beside_o it_o also_o receive_v chronical_a disease_n which_o extenuate_v the_o body_n and_o such_o as_o in_o any_o manner_n be_v prone_a to_o leave_v a_o cold_a distemper_n behind_o they_o as_o pertinacious_a obstruction_n the_o scurvy_a cachexy_n etc._n etc._n moreover_o because_o it_o succee_v the_o importune_a suppression_n of_o scabbedness_n and_o impetiginous_a effect_n as_o we_o have_v often_o observe_v when_o the_o scab_n have_v new_o break_v out_o again_o and_o the_o itch_n be_v revive_v such_o boy_n have_v be_v easy_o restore_v to_o health_n because_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o natural_a heat_n be_v reaugment_v in_o the_o outward_a member_n last_o because_o many_o time_n it_o happen_v after_o a_o continual_a use_n of_o cold_a thick_a and_o viscous_a aliment_n after_o surfeit_v and_o idleness_n and_o the_o like_a evident_a cause_n either_o diminish_n or_o overwhelm_v the_o natural_a heat_n four_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o plain_o evince_v because_o those_o help_n which_o excite_v augment_v and_o cherish_v the_o heat_n in_o the_o outward_a part_n as_o various_a agitation_n rubbing_n and_o anoint_v of_o the_o body_n do_v contribute_v a_o large_a share_n to_o the_o advancement_n of_o this_o cure_n these_o thing_n be_v all_o cast_v together_o into_o a_o heap_n it_o be_v sufficient_o conspicuous_a that_o a_o cold_a distemper_n of_o the_o natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o part_n first_o affect_v be_v contain_v in_o the_o primary_n essence_n of_o this_o disease_n object_n but_o here_o we_o meet_v with_o a_o specious_a objection_n that_o a_o little_a fever_n especial_o a_o slow_a one_o or_o such_o as_o be_v erratical_a and_o wander_a be_v frequent_o conjoin_v with_o this_o affect_v which_o at_o the_o same_o time_n seem_v absolute_o inconsistent_a with_o a_o cool_a distemper_n for_o all_o fever_n by_o all_o man_n be_v account_v to_o be_v a_o hot_a distemper_n which_o be_v diametrical_o opposite_a to_o the_o say_a essence_n we_o answer_v that_o we_o may_v not_o here_o interpose_v any_o thing_n concern_v the_o essence_n of_o a_o fever_n we_o free_o grant_v for_o so_o much_o as_o concern_v the_o present_a question_n that_o a_o fever_n be_v a_o hot_a distemper_n but_o this_o do_v not_o chief_o consist_v in_o the_o natural_a constitution_n of_o the_o part_n but_o in_o the_o vital_a constitution_n namely_o in_o the_o influent_a heat_n preternatural_o affect_v for_o a_o fever_n be_v not_o some_o private_a disease_n but_o universal_a and_o be_v diffuse_v from_o the_o heart_n through_o the_o artery_n in_o and_o with_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v it_o either_o overheat_v or_o otherwise_o vitiate_v for_o this_o preternatural_a heat_n have_v only_o a_o respect_n to_o that_o inherent_a as_o a_o cause_n potent_a and_o able_a various_o to_o alter_v it_o

second_o be_v likewise_o prove_v without_o difficulty_n for_o if_o the_o vital_a heat_n radicate_v in_o the_o arterious_a blood_n consist_v in_o a_o certain_a motion_n or_o endeavour_n of_o that_o

see_v that_o natural_a cause_n do_v always_o act_v to_o the_o extremity_n of_o their_o power_n and_o as_o much_o as_o be_v possible_a by_o way_n of_o assimilation_n if_o any_o man_n doubt_v whether_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o vital_a heat_n consist_v in_o such_o a_o uniform_a diffusive_a motion_n moderate_o restrain_v and_o intrinsical_o advance_v let_v he_o know_v that_o the_o essence_n of_o

either_o reckon_v up_o or_o accurat_o search_v into_o lest_o we_o shall_v run_v into_o a_o unreasonable_a digression_n in_o the_o interim_n that_o we_o may_v have_v the_o matter_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o inquire_v whether_o or_o no_o in_o this_o affect_v the_o vital_a heat_n be_v moderate_v according_a to_o nature_n it_o seem_v good_a unto_o we_o to_o propound_v these_o subsequent_a condition_n first_o that_o the_o vital_a heat_n may_v be_v call_v natural_a or_o according_a to_o nature_n it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o origin_n thereof_o be_v internal_a nam_o in_o the_o arterious_a blood_n and_o that_o it_o be_v derive_v to_o the_o solid_a part_n as_o have_v be_v say_v by_o the_o implantation_n and_o union_n thereof_o for_o that_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v call_v natural_a it_o must_v needs_o flow_v from_o a_o internal_a principle_n although_o it_o be_v likewise_o true_a that_o what_o thing_n soever_o do_v moderate_o cherish_v augment_v and_o excite_v that_o internal_a principle_n may_v in_o that_o respect_n deserve_v this_o appellation_n second_o it_o be_v require_v that_o that_o heat_n be_v moderate_a not_o unequal_o remiss_a or_o intensive_a but_o communicate_v to_o the_o part_n in_o a_o even_a degree_n three_o it_o be_v require_v that_o it_o be_v in_o some_o measure_n uniform_a and_o like_o itself_o in_o those_o part_n that_o rejoice_v in_o the_o same_o

defect_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n therefore_o see_v the_o vital_a constitution_n be_v transient_a and_o fugitive_n in_o any_o of_o the_o solid_a part_n and_o see_v it_o depend_v upon_o the_o

some_o new_a one_o be_v excite_v though_o with_o less_o efficacy_n then_o in_o the_o heart_n this_o be_v preadmonish_v we_o say_v first_o that_o in_o the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o heart_n there_o do_v not_o occur_v any_o fault_n repugnant_a to_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n which_o proper_o can_v be_v a_o part_n even_o of_o the_o secondary_a essence_n of_o this_o

you_o will_v reply_v a_o fever_n be_v sometime_o complicate_v with_o this_o affect_v and_o at_o such_o time_n the_o heart_n do_v unapt_o generate_v the_o vital_a spirit_n but_o that_o fever_n be_v a_o disease_n of_o a_o different_a kind_n and_o by_o no_o mean_n either_o the_o whole_a or_o any_o part_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o this_o affect_v second_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o lesser_a artery_n

the_o part_n themselves_o and_o this_o fault_n of_o the_o little_a artery_n seem_v by_o very_o good_a right_n to_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n for_o although_o

their_o fault_n be_v right_o to_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o vital_a spirit_n for_o the_o vital_a constitution_n be_v a_o certain_a transient_a action_n as_o we_o have_v show_v

of_o inherent_a spirit_n must_v also_o thereupon_o affect_v with_o some_o kind_n of_o frigidity_n benummedness_n and_o perhaps_o with_o a_o thickness_n and_o viscous_a quality_n beyond_o the_o usual_a

in_o order_n and_o relation_n to_o this_o affect_n for_o the_o question_n be_v not_o absolute_a but_o comparative_a therefore_o the_o first_o and_o best_a way_n of_o determine_v it_o will_v be_v by_o
