labour_n with_o a_o moist_a distemper_n yet_o it_o be_v manifest_a withal_o by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v how_o great_a a_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o this_o of_o age_a person_n &_o that_o

to_o this_o disease_n as_o child_n three_o young_a child_n although_o they_o natural_o abound_v with_o inherent_a spirit_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o easy_a transpiration_n of_o their_o body_n &_o

be_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o the_o secondary_a essence_n of_o this_o disease_n we_o say_v that_o the_o elder_a child_n do_v use_v more_o strong_a and_o frequent_a exercise_n then_o the_o young_a and_o therefore_o that_o the_o pulse_n of_o the_o outward_a part_n be_v more_o strong_o stir_v up_o in_o they_o and_o that_o a_o great_a heat_n be_v raise_v and_o cherish_v in_o they_o and_o by_o consequence_n a_o cold_a distemper_n be_v more_o potential_o drive_v out_o of_o they_o seven_o as_o for_o the_o organical_a fault_n namely_o the_o augment_a magnitude_n of_o the_o liver_n head_n and_o their_o vessel_n it_o be_v a_o know_a thing_n that_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o part_n be_v more_o stable_n and_o confirm_v in_o the_o big_a child_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o in_o the_o young_a they_o be_v easy_o move_v and_o alter_v but_o the_o augmentation_n cease_v they_o be_v not_o any_o more_o afterward_o alter_v without_o some_o unusual_a and_o weighty_a cause_n so_o that_o even_o in_o this_o respect_n the_o young_a child_n be_v most_o subject_a to_o this_o disease_n let_v we_o therefore_o conclude_v the_o part_n of_o the_o question_n that_o young_a child_n in_o respect_n of_o their_o natural_a constitution_n and_o disposition_n be_v more_o obnoxious_a to_o this_o evil_n than_o those_o that_o be_v elder_a and_o so_o much_o the_o more_o the_o young_a they_o be_v but_o we_o must_v not_o wave_v a_o objection_n that_o here_o we_o meet_v with_o which_o also_o do_v very_o fit_o convey_v a_o occasion_n of_o pass_v to_o the_o other_o comparison_n nam_o of_o young_a child_n among_o themselves_o for_o if_o young_a child_n as_o be_v manifest_a by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v be_v more_o prone_a to_o this_o disease_n by_o their_o natural_a constitution_n and_o disposition_n and_o the_o young_a they_o be_v the_o more_o subject_n they_o be_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o child_n rare_o fall_v into_o this_o affect_n before_o they_o be_v six_o month_n old_a and_o somewhat_o more_o for_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n deliver_v child_n shall_v seem_v to_o be_v principal_o subject_a to_o this_o disease_n immediate_o after_o their_o birth_n which_o yet_o experience_n disappoint_v yea_o rather_o indeed_o it_o witness_v the_o contrary_a namely_o that_o child_n before_o they_o be_v nine_o month_n old_a be_v seldom_o or_o scarce_o ever_o afflict_v with_o this_o disease_n here_o therefore_o it_o will_v be_v needful_a for_o we_o to_o declare_v that_o other_o comparison_n of_o young_a child_n among_o themselves_o for_o it_o can_v be_v that_o this_o affect_n shall_v so_o constant_o spare_v child_n chief_o dispose_v unto_o it_o and_o frequent_o invade_v those_o that_o be_v less_o dispose_v unless_o some_o difference_n do_v intervene_v which_o do_v in_o a_o diverse_a manner_n relate_v to_o those_o age_n and_o which_o notwithstanding_o the_o propensity_n of_o nature_n do_v retard_v the_o invasion_n of_o the_o disease_n before_o the_o first_o twelve_o month_n be_v complete_o expire_v and_o yet_o afterward_o either_o do_v not_o at_o all_o or_o not_o so_o potent_o defend_v child_n from_o this_o disease_n here_o therefore_o we_o must_v find_v the_o very_a reason_n of_o the_o difference_n between_o these_o age_n which_o that_o we_o may_v the_o soon_o do_v it_o will_v not_o perhaps_o be_v impertinent_a to_o take_v special_a notice_n by_o the_o way_n of_o those_o age_n which_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o experience_n be_v observe_v to_o be_v more_o frequent_o affect_v with_o this_o disease_n and_o likewise_o those_o age_n which_o be_v least_o afflict_v with_o it_o we_o affirm_v therefore_o that_o this_o disease_n do_v very_o rare_o invade_v child_n present_o after_o their_o birth_n or_o before_o they_o be_v six_o month_n old_a yea_o perhaps_o before_o the_o nine_o month_n but_o after_o that_o time_n it_o begin_v by_o little_a and_o little_a daily_a to_o rage_v more_o and_o more_o to_o the_o period_n of_o eighteen_o month_n than_o it_o attain_v its_o pitch_n and_o exaltation_n and_o as_o it_o be_v rest_v in_o it_o till_o the_o child_n be_v two_o year_n and_o six_o month_n old_a so_o that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o thick_a invasion_n be_v that_o whole_a year_n which_o bear_v date_n from_o the_o eighteen_o month_n two_o year_n and_o a_o half_a be_v expire_v the_o disease_n fall_v into_o its_o declination_n and_o seldom_o invade_v the_o child_n for_o the_o reason_n already_o allege_v but_o the_o reason_n why_o infant_n new_o bear_v be_v rare_o affect_v and_o why_o from_o the_o nine_o to_o the_o eighteen_o month_n they_o be_v frequent_o affect_v and_o why_o after_o the_o first_o eighteen_o month_n they_o be_v most_o frequent_o affect_v shall_v now_o all_o of_o they_o in_o their_o order_n be_v produce_v the_o first_o reason_n why_o child_n new_o bear_v be_v very_o seldom_o invade_v with_o this_o affect_n may_v be_v these_o the_o first_o be_v because_o the_o embryon_n in_o the_o womb_n be_v by_o the_o equal_a heat_n and_o embracement_n of_o the_o matrix_fw-la strong_o fortify_v against_o this_o disease_n as_o we_o have_v declare_v above_o and_o by_o consequence_n the_o same_o be_v bring_v to_o light_n do_v for_o a_o time_n retain_v some_o of_o that_o muniment_n &_o defence_n which_o it_o contract_v from_o that_o equal_a warmth_n of_o the_o womb_n and_o therefore_o present_o after_o the_o birth_n it_o do_v not_o so_o easy_o fall_v into_o it_o the_o second_o be_v because_o the_o midwife_n and_o nurse_n do_v handle_v they_o so_o artificial_o when_o they_o be_v new_o bear_v that_o their_o condition_n be_v not_o considerable_o different_a from_o that_o which_o they_o possess_v in_o the_o womb._n for_o they_o enwrap_v the_o whole_a body_n except_v the_o head_n in_o one_o continual_a cover_v whereupon_o the_o exterior_a and_o first_o affect_v part_n of_o the_o body_n in_o this_o disease_n be_v fortify_v against_o the_o injury_n of_o the_o outward_a cold_a and_o the_o hot_a exhalation_n break_v out_o from_o any_o part_n of_o the_o body_n be_v due_o and_o equal_o retain_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o cover_v which_o be_v two_o or_o three_o time_n double_a and_o bind_v about_o with_o swath_a band_n and_o equal_o communicate_v to_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o they_o be_v cherish_v with_o a_o even_a heat_n
but_o in_o the_o second_o place_n we_o affirm_v that_o the_o implant_v heat_n do_v differ_v from_o the_o hot_a implant_v temperament_n for_o the_o implant_v heat_n be_v only_o a_o part_n of_o the_o hot_a implant_v temperament_n for_o not_o only_o a_o spirit_n but_o sulphur_n also_o and_o salt_n or_o perhaps_o choler_n contribute_v their_o heat_n to_o the_o constitution_n of_o the_o whole_a hot_a implant_v temperament_n whereof_o the_o implant_v heat_n be_v only_o a_o part_n wherefore_o it_o be_v false_o suggest_v in_o the_o propound_a argument_n that_o a_o plenty_n of_o spirit_n be_v the_o sole_a cause_n of_o a_o hot_a distemper_n and_o a_o paucity_n of_o a_o cold_a distemper_n for_o a_o pound_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o a_o infant_n contain_v more_o implant_v spirit_n then_o a_o pound_n of_o a_o youngman_n flesh_n yet_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a that_o the_o temperament_n of_o a_o young_a man_n be_v far_o more_o hot_a than_o that_o of_o a_o infant_n a_o hot_a temperament_n can_v therefore_o depend_v upon_o the_o sole_a plenty_n of_o the_o spirit_n nor_o a_o cold_a temperament_n upon_o a_o want_n of_o spirit_n moreover_o in_o many_o malady_n a_o hot_a distemper_n be_v consistent_a with_o a_o paucity_n of_o spirit_n as_o in_o a_o hectic_a of_o the_o three_o degree_n in_o like_a manner_n of_o a_o cold_a distemper_n with_o a_o competent_a plenty_n of_o spirit_n as_o in_o the_o green_a sickness_n we_o say_v three_o that_o a_o plenty_n or_o paucity_n of_o spirit_n be_v not_o perpetual_o a_o sufficient_a cause_n to_o determine_v the_o temperament_n either_o hot_a or_o cold_a as_o on_o the_o contrary_a neither_o do_v a_o hot_a nor_o a_o cold_a temperament_n certain_o and_o necessary_o demonstrate_v a_o plenty_n or_o paucity_n of_o spirit_n as_o be_v manifest_a from_o the_o instance_n give_v so_o that_o the_o temperament_n be_v no_o sure_a sign_n of_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o spirit_n nor_o the_o quantity_n of_o the_o spirit_n a_o sure_a sign_n of_o the_o temperament_n and_o therefore_o purpose_v not_o without_o just_a cause_n these_o thing_n come_v to_o be_v consider_v and_o examine_v as_o contradistinct_a if_o we_o will_v procure_v a_o certain_a and_o inconfused_a knowledge_n of_o they_o four_o we_o answer_v that_o although_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o the_o implant_v heat_n be_v subject_v in_o the_o implant_v spirit_n yet_o notwithstanding_o that_o heat_n be_v not_o intend_v nor_o remit_v according_a to_o the_o sole_a plenty_n or_o paucity_n of_o spirit_n for_o the_o spirit_n howsoever_o sufficient_o copious_a yet_o if_o they_o be_v too_o much_o fix_v torpid_a and_o as_o it_o be_v freeze_v they_o exhibit_v not_o any_o implant_v heat_n worthy_a of_o consideration_n as_o for_o example_n the_o white_a of_o a_o egg_n swell_v with_o copious_a spirit_n yet_o be_v they_o so_o benumb_v and_o the_o inward_a heat_n be_v thereupon_o so_o small_a that_o it_o obtain_v not_o the_o formation_n of_o a_o chicken_n unless_o it_o be_v first_o excite_v by_o incubation_n or_o some_o such_o other_o heat_n therefore_o we_o may_v lawful_o conclude_v that_o a_o consideration_n from_o the_o want_n of_o spirit_n be_v sufficient_o distinct_a from_o the_o consideration_n of_o a_o cold_a implant_v temperament_n although_o the_o object_v argument_n do_v seem_v to_o insinuate_v the_o contrary_a moreover_o from_o this_o four_o article_n of_o our_o answer_n there_o result_v a_o four_o assertion_n of_o the_o essence_n propound_v namely_o that_o beside_o the_o distemper_n and_o want_v of_o spirit_n a_o certain_a benumdness_n of_o they_o must_v be_v add_v as_o a_o distinct_a part_n also_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o disease_n this_o benumdness_n of_o the_o engraft_a spirit_n appear_v chief_o by_o the_o defective_a nutrition_n and_o aversation_n from_o exercise_n which_o proceed_v not_o primary_o as_o we_o have_v prove_v above_o from_o any_o defect_n of_o the_o influx_n of_o the_o brain_n it_o be_v also_o manifest_a from_o hence_o because_o all_o those_o thing_n which_o drive_v out_o that_o stupefaction_n of_o the_o spirit_n although_o they_o do_v not_o altogether_o drive_v it_o away_o yet_o they_o conduce_v very_o much_o to_o the_o cure_n of_o this_o disease_n as_o exercise_n of_o any_o kind_n augment_v by_o degree_n friction_n anoynting_n etc._n etc._n and_o thing_n inward_o take_v of_o a_o heat_n cut_a purge_a and_o gentle_o open_v quality_n but_o that_o this_o benumdness_n be_v sufficient_o distinct_a from_o the_o want_n of_o spirit_n beside_o that_o which_o we_o have_v say_v in_o the_o 3._o article_n of_o our_o answer_n be_v sufficient_o manifest_a from_o hence_o because_o a_o excessive_a excitation_n contrary_a to_o a_o benummednes_n be_v often_o conjoin_v with_o a_o penury_n of_o spirit_n as_o it_o common_o fall_v out_o in_o a_o hectic_a fever_n in_o dissolve_v flux_n and_o the_o like_a disease_n in_o which_o howsoever_o there_o be_v a_o want_n of_o spirit_n yet_o no_o benummedness_n be_v consociate_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o vehement_a excitation_n &_o propensity_n to_o motion_n must_v be_v restrain_v on_o the_o contrary_a copious_a spirit_n may_v consist_v with_o a_o benummedness_n as_o in_o wheat_n or_o meal_n for_o although_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o have_v but_o little_a spirit_n because_o the_o spirit_n of_o it_o do_v yet_o lurk_v in_o their_o fixation_n and_o benummedness_n yet_o indeed_o the_o spirit_n do_v abound_v in_o it_o and_o may_v be_v summon_v out_o by_o a_o simple_a fermentation_n and_o excite_v to_o a_o manifestation_n of_o their_o activity_n as_o strong_a beer_n make_v thereof_o do_v plain_o declare_v in_o like_a manner_n juice_n new_o press_v out_o of_o immature_n grape_n be_v very_o mild_a and_o pleasant_a

that_o the_o benummedness_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o this_o affect_n deserve_v a_o particular_a and_o distinct_a consideration_n chap._n vi_o of_o the_o part_n first_o affect_v in_o this_o disease_n we_o have_v already_o propound_v the_o first_o essence_n of_o this_o disease_n it_o remain_v now_o that_o we_o inquire_v after_o the_o first_o subject_n in_o which_o that_o essence_n be_v radicate_v

the_o liver_n be_v the_o subject_n of_o the_o first_o essence_n of_o this_o disease_n the_o principal_a argument_n be_v for_o the_o affirmative_a because_o this_o disease_n may_v seem_v to_o proceed_v from_o a_o vicious_a sanguification_n the_o shop_n and_o workhouse_n whereof_o at_o least_o in_o probability_n the_o liver_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v but_o that_o a_o vitiated_a sanguification_n be_v the_o first_o origine_fw-la of_o this_o disease_n seem_v to_o be_v make_v manifest_a by_o many_o sign_n first_o because_o this_o disease_n for_o the_o most_o part_n follow_v after_o many_o other_o great_a disease_n either_o acute_a or_o chronical_a which_o in_o great_a measure_n have_v beforehand_o weaken_v the_o sanguifical_a virtue_n of_o the_o liver_n second_o because_o this_o disease_n do_v

participative_a life_n for_o the_o solid_a part_n be_v therefore_o say_v to_o participate_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o life_n or_o the_o vital_a constitution_n because_o the_o vital_a spirit_n be_v

examination_n of_o they_o we_o only_o note_v that_o the_o mutual_a concourse_n and_o union_n of_o the_o vital_a and_o natural_a constitution_n by_o their_o spirit_n do_v not_o occur_v in_o this_o
