A41127	Some kindling sparks in matters of physick to satisfie some physicians who are of opinion that spirits (which they call hot things) do burn and inflame the body / written formerly to a friend by Albertus Otto Faber.	Faber, Albert Otto, 1612-1684.	1668 (1668)	Wing F70; ESTC R37760	5,662	9

some_o measure_n homogeneal_a to_o life_n yet_o without_o a_o preparation_n in_o the_o best_a manner_n be_v hardly_o fit_a to_o kindle_v or_o nourish_v life_n in_o order_n to_o consume_v or_o expel_v disease_n from_o the_o body_n but_o when_o they_o be_v due_o prepare_v their_o effect_n will_v be_v the_o better_a and_o more_o evident_a as_o for_o instance_n when_o it_o happen_v that_o any_o body_n be_v take_v with_o a_o sudden_a fright_n his_o life_n become_v weak_a which_o may_v cause_v he_o to_o swoon_v away_o then_o if_o the_o life_n be_v furnish_v with_o something_o of_o its_o nature_n

medicine_n partake_v of_o fiery_a quality_n the_o more_o it_o be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o life_n and_o can_v strengthen_v it_o the_o better_a to_o expel_v the_o disease_n and_o settle_v it_o again_o in_o its_o own_o seat_n the_o scripture_n say_v that_o the_o life_n of_o the_o body_n be_v in_o its_o blood_n and_o whoever_o will_v try_v this_o must_v anatomize_v it_o with_o fire_n which_o will_v

when_o it_o be_v roast_v or_o boil_a tender_a it_o be_v of_o a_o easy_a digestion_n so_o vulgar_a medicine_n raw_o and_o rough_o wrought_v and_o compound_v will_v hardly_o be_v so_o acceptable_a or_o

root_v it_o out_o of_o the_o body_n therefore_o let_v no_o body_n henceforth_o be_v so_o ignorant_a as_o to_o say_v that_o a_o physician_n make_v use_n of_o those_o excellent_a medicine_n do_v burn_v

do_v when_o a_o patient_n lie_v in_o a_o great_a burn_a heat_n shall_v we_o then_o put_v fire_n to_o fire_n answ_n this_o be_v indeed_o the_o only_a thing_n that_o have_v hitherto_o deceive_v many_o physician_n to_o avoid_v hot_a thing_n as_o they_o call_v they_o to_o be_v administer_v to_o such_o as_o lie_v in_o a_o hot_a burn_a fit_n therefore_o remember_v what_o i_o have_v say_v of_o the_o

viz._n that_o when_o iron_n or_o the_o like_a be_v put_v into_o aquafortis_n though_o it_o feel_v coldish_a yet_o present_o it_o grow_v hot_a and_o boil_v without_o fire_n in_o so_o much_o that_o a_o man_n with_o his_o bare_a hand_n can_v hold_v the_o vessel_n that_o contain_v it_o this_o burn_a heat_n seem_v unto_o man_n to_o arise_v from_o the_o violent_a action_n of_o the_o aquafortish_a spirit_n upon_o the_o iron_n which_o the_o eye_n may_v easy_o disern_v suppose_v thou_o will_v quench_v this_o hot_a burn_a fire_n by_o pour_v much_o cold_a water_n upon_o it_o as_o a_o thing_n contrary_n to_o the_o fire_n though_o that_o boil_a may_v seem_v to_o cease_v and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v quench_v yet_o in_o effect_n it_o will_v prove_v the_o same_o because_o it_o will_v consume_v the_o iron_n one_o way_n as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o way_n however_o more_o slow_o and_o insensible_o when_o water_n be_v pour_v upon_o it_o therefore_o to_o put_v cold_a thing_n to_o this_o fire_n be_v not_o the_o way_n to_o quench_v it_o but_o will_v thou_o do_v right_a then_o give_v to_o the_o spirit_n to_o eat_v or_o devour_v salt_n thus_o he_o shall_v lose_v his_o strength_n be_v break_v and_o leave_v boil_a with_o consume_v here_o appear_v that_o the_o salt_n be_v not_o a_o cold_a thing_n yet_o able_a to_o make_v peace_n betwixt_o hot_a thing_n viz._n the_o aquafortis_n and_o the_o

therefore_o make_v thy_o application_n not_o with_o cold_a thing_n immediate_o to_o the_o hot_a burn_a which_o be_v nothing_o material_a but_o only_o a_o accidental_a quality_n or_o symptom_n flow_v from_o the_o action_n of_o these_o two_o fight_a thing_n aforesaid_a upon_o the_o body_n but_o make_v thy_o application_n to_o either_o of_o they_o two_o and_o break_v its_o strength_n then_o
