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

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
