the Sea nor the fish upon the land nor your nature continue long in an unnatural way against her self Are you composed of natural principles and will you not live conformable to what you are do you not live by natures assistance and natural means and do you think to continue long in a Counter-motion against the nature of your Composition they that invert natures course preposterously promiscuously in congruously using the necessary conservatives of life not onely are deprived of their benefit but also receive a positive hurt disordering the constant regular motions in the body and discomposing the harmonious and sociable temperaments of the parts There is a rule therefore method measure and season in all the requisite supports and auxiliary helps belonging and necessary unto life or lawful actions and customes whatsoever which duely observed are of much advantage for the preservation of the body in its true natural state vigour and prolongation of being but other wise a methodically and inordinately used disturbs natures course uniformity and regularity of operations raiseth unnatural motions commotions and cessations introduceth disorders and disjoynes the frame of nature accelerates and hastens the dissolution of the body The Impediments of long Life AN infirme and weak constitution from the Wombe derived from tender imbecile and infirm parents Irregular and unfit tractation of Infants whose tender bodies are soon discomposed and disordered by bad Nurses their erronious customes and the ill proprieties of their milk Noxious and intemperate Aire Irregular eating and drinking Immoderate and unseasonable exercise motion or labour Too much or unfit rest Sleeping and waking in extreams Immoderate Venus Undue excretion and retention of Excrements Inordinate passions and perturbations of mind All unnecessary and bad customes Hygiastic Precautions and Rules for the preservation of Health and prolongation of life Of Aire AIre is so necessary to life that without it we cannot subsist which surrounding us about and being continually suckt and drawn in must needs affect the body with its conditions and properties and by observation you may finde the body by the various constitutions and changes in the air to be variously affected well and ill disposed of which infirme parts are most sensible that they prognosticate before an alteration come the minde also by the mediation of the spirits is drawn into consent and hath its dispositions and variations when the Aire is close thick and moist the spirits are more dull heavy and indisposed but at the appearance of the Sun and a serene sky the spirits are unfettered vigorous and active the minde more cheerful airy and pleasant The Spirits are of an aetherial nature and therefore do much sympathize with the present constitution and change of air for of the air drawn in by the motion of the vital parts are the vital spirits augmented supplied continually by the peculiar ferment and operation of the heart therefore the pureness of the aire makes much for the purity of the spirits A gross impure and noisome aire obtunds and deads the spirits makes a slow pulse obstructs the pores and hinders ventilation generates superfluous humors and causeth putrefaction A serene sweet thin Aire perfumes and purifies an unwholsome body cherisheth the heart makes a lively pulse and much encreaseth the vital spirits rarifies and volatizeth a gross coagulate blood opens the pores for transpiration of putrid and offensive vapours acuates and sharpens the appetite and helps digestion The best aire and most agreeable to temperate bodies is in temperate climates for heat cold wet and dry not subject to sudden and violent changes as in some parts of America and other Countries very frequent not gross and turbulent infected with putrid vapours and noxious exhalations from stinking ditches Lakes Boggs Carrions Dunghills Sinks and Vaults for which causes great Cities and the adjacent places are not so healthful nor the people so long liv'd Change of Aire somtimes is very necessary for the conservation of health the recovery of it declining and lost for temperate bodies by an intemperate aire shall gradually and in time become intemperate intemperate bodies by the contrary intemperate Aire shall be reduced to temperature at least shall conduce much and be very Auxiliary for the reduction Therefore bodies declining from exact temperature are best preserved in that Aire opposite to their declensions as Cholerick hot and dry bodies in a moist and coole aire Phlegmatick cold and moist bodies in a dry and warme Aire It is not therefore of small moment in what place you live and more especially such who labour of or are more subject to any pectoral infirmity for the Lungs being of so tender a substance and porous continually drinking in the aire is most apt to receive impressions from it according to the qualities it is pregnant with and infested and many diseases of the breast arise from this sole cause and many exasperated by it and continued hence it is Asthmatick Phthisical and Consumptive persons shall not be cured in some places but may have cure in another Be cloathed according to the Clemency season and temperature of the Aire your age and habit of body leane and thin bodies pervious corpora rarae texturae and whose skin are loose and lax may wear thicker cloathing because such are more perspirable do magis emittere transpirare and are also more penetrable and subject to injury of the Aire Fat and fleshy people and whose bodies are solid firm and hard are more impenetrable and impervious and may wear thinner Garments Infants and children lately cherished in the stove of the wombe being of tender soft bodies and porous are easily exposed to the prejudice of the Aire Vigorous youth and middle age being accustomed to all weathers whose spirits abounding do strongly resist and keep out the assaults and injuries of an offensive Aire may best indure hardship Old age whose natural heate is abated and spirits exhausted stands in need of good defensatives against external cold and to cherish internal heat Observe the seasons and changes of the Aire and be then most careful for at such times you are in most danger to exchange health for sickness hence it is that Spring and Autumne abounds most with diseases the Air then assuming new qualities opposite to its former constitution sets new impressions upon our bodies which occasions the various aestuations and turgid fermenting of humours producing divers symptomes according to the variety of their nature the organical difference office and constitution of the several parts The Sun being risen and the aire clear open your Chamber-windowes that the fresh Aire may perfume your Room and the close Aire and inclosed vapours may go forth Bad smells and putrid vapours being drawn in with the Aire are very injurious to the Lungs and vital parts contaminating the spirits and impressing upon the ferment of those parts their tetrid nature are oftentimes the original of a Consumption and if the Lungs be weak and infirme are more apt to
