be_v inhibit_v and_o touch_v the_o operation_n upon_o the_o aliment_n and_o the_o preparation_n of_o they_o thus_o much_o the_o operation_n upon_o the_o last_o act_n of_o assimilation_n 8._o touch_v the_o last_o act_n of_o assimilation_n unto_o which_o the_o three_o operation_n immediate_o precede_v chief_o tend_v our_o advice_n shall_v be_v brief_a and_o single_a and_o the_o thing_n itself_o rather_o need_v explication_n than_o any_o various_a rule_n 1_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o all_o body_n be_v endue_v with_o some_o desire_n of_o assimilate_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v next_o they_o tuis_fw-la the_o rare_a and_o pneumaticall_a body_n as_o flame_n spirit_n airt_n perform_v generous_o and_o with_o alacrity_n on_o the_o contrary_a those_o that_o carry_v a_o gross_a and_o tangible_a bulk_n about_o they_o do_v but_o weak_o in_o regard_n that_o the_o desire_n of_o assimilate_v other_o thing_n be_v bind_v in_o by_o a_o strong_a desire_n of_o rest_n and_o contain_v themselves_o from_o motion_n 2_o again_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o that_o desire_v of_o assimilate_v be_v bind_v as_o we_o say_v in_o a_o gross_a body_n and_o make_v 〈◊〉_d be_v somewhat_o free_v and_o stir_v up_o

certain_a that_o the_o hard_a the_o consistence_n of_o the_o body_n be_v the_o more_o do_v that_o body_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o great_a heat_n to_o prick_v forward_o the_o assimilation_n which_o fall_v out_o ill_a for_o old_a man_n because_o in_o they_o the_o part_n be_v more_o obstinate_a and_o the_o heat_v weak_a and_o therefore_o either_o the_o obstinacy_n of_o their_o part_n be_v to_o

single_a precept_n after_o we_o have_v first_o assume_v this_o axiom_n 4_o the_o act_n of_o assimilation_n which_o as_o we_o say_v be_v excite_v by_o the_o heat_n circumfuse_v in_o a_o motion_n exceed_v accurate_a subtle_a and_o in_o little_a now_o all_o such_o motion_n do_v then_o come_v to_o their_o vigour_n when_o the_o local_a motion_n whole_o cease_v which_o disturb_v it_o for_o the_o motion_n of_o separation_n into_o homogeneal_a part_n which_o be_v in_o milk_n that_o the_o cream_n shall_v swim_v above_o and_o the_o whey_n sink_v to_o the_o bottom_n will_v never_o work_v if_o the_o milk_n be_v never_o so_o little_a agitate_a neither_o will_v any_o puterfaction_n proceed_v in_o water_n or_o mix_v body_n if_o the_o same_o be_v in_o continual_a local_a motion_n so_o then_o from_o this_o assumption_n we_o will_v conclude_v this_o for_o the_o present_a inquisition_n 5_o the_o act_n itself_o of_o assimilation_n be_v chief_o accomplish_v in_o sleep_n and_o rest_v especial_o

that_o towards_o the_o morning_n there_o be_v use_v some_o anoint_v or_o shirt_n 〈◊〉_d with_o oil_n such_o as_o may_v gentle_o stir_v up_o heat_n and_o after_o that_o to_o fall_v asleep_a again_o and_o touch_v the_o last_o act_n of_o assimilation_n thus_o much_o the_o operation_n upon_o the_o inteneration_n of_o that_o which_o begin_v to_o be_v arify_v or_o the_o malacissation_n of_o the_o

they_o both_o be_v not_o effect_v the_o same_o way_n but_o that_o there_o be_v a_o cure_n design_v of_o each_o in_o particular_a beside_o those_o thing_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o inteneration_n of_o the_o whole_a mass_n of_o the_o body_n of_o which_o notwithstanding_o in_o the_o first_o place_n 3_o this_o operation_n if_o perhaps_o it_o be_v within_o our_o power_n be_v most_o likely_a to_o

this_o matter_n from_o the_o example_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o see_v do_v in_o the_o imbibition_n and_o maceration_n of_o inanimate_v by_o which_o they_o be_v intenerate_v whereof_o we_o

of_o live_a creature_n it_o be_v hard_a because_o in_o they_o the_o motion_n rather_o tend_v outward_a and_o to_o the_o circumference_n 5_o therefore_o the_o emollient_a bath_n which_o be_v in_o use_n do_v little_o good_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a hurt_n because_o they_o rather_o draw_v forth_o than_o make_v entrance_n and_o resolve_v the_o structure_n of_o the_o body_n rather_o than_o
