member_n suffocation_n of_o naturals_n heat_n and_o death_n in_o the_o end_n but_o although_o i_o can_v like_v a_o cunning_a logician_n frame_v sophistical_a syllogism_n or_o give_v such_o lustre_n to_o my_o reason_n as_o many_o will_v do_v which_o take_v great_a pleasure_n in_o the_o flo●_n of_o word_n then_o in_o the_o verity_n and_o reality_n o●_n thing_n notwithstanding_o if_o it_o be_v

which_o know_v these_o thing_n better_o than_o myself_o deliver_v my_o opinion_n also_o opium_n then_o be_v not_o such_o a_o cold_a thing_n as_o they_o will_v have_v it_o as_o i_o can_v prove_v both_o by_o reason_n and_o experience_n by_o reason_n in_o regard_n it_o be_v not_o only_o bitter_a but_o inflame_v and_o excoriative_a which_o be_v evident_a token_n of_o its_o hot_a quality_n and_o

that_o opium_n be_v not_o cold_a in_o two_o respect_n first_o that_o when_o the_o turk_n eat_v thereof_o they_o become_v cheerful_a courageous_a and_o fierce_a in_o war_n second_o that_o when_o one_o give_v two_o or_o three_o grain_n thereof_o to_o any_o sick_a person_n and_o cover_v he_o warm_v in_o his_o bed_n it_o will_v make_v he_o sweat_v more_o than_o any_o other_o diaphoretic_n which_o operation_n can_v by_o no_o mean_n proceed_v from_o any_o cold_a quality_n it_o have_v but_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v object_v among_o both_o these_o reason_n say_v first_o the_o turk_n be_v of_o a_o hot_a constitution_n and_o live_v in_o a_o hot_a clime_n become_v more_o fainthearted_a and_o cowardlike_a than_o those_o of_o cold_a temperature_n and_o therefore_o opium_n temper_v that_o heat_n make_v he_o more_o frolic_a and_o cheerful_a accidental_o second_o that_o if_o a_o man_n give_v but_o a_o cupful_a of_o cold_a water_n only_o to_o a_o sick_a man_n to_o drink_v it_o will_v questionless_a make_v he_o sweat_v etc._n etc._n whereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o the_o turk_n do_v acquire_v force_n and_o courage_n by_o temper_v their_o heat_n with_o cold_a thing_n they_o may_v very_o well_o spare_v that_o great_a labour_n and_o toil_n they_o take_v in_o sow_v their_o poppy_n and_o gather_v their_o opium_n see_v that_o spring_n and_o river-water_n may_v stand_v they_o in_o as_o great_a stead_n be_v a_o cold_a liquor_n and_o dispiercing_a itself_o into_o all_o part_n of_o the_o body_n as_o soon_o as_o it_o be_v drink_v but_o it_o be_v so_o far_o short_a of_o opium_n in_o quicken_a the_o spirit_n and_o raise_v the_o courage_n that_o it_o work_v quite_o contrary_a effect_n and_o whereas_o they_o affirm_v that_o a_o cup_n of_o water_n which_o be_v apparent_o cold_a will_v cause_v any_o sick_a person_n to_o sweat_v i_o answer_v that_o if_o it_o cause_v one_o that_o be_v in_o a_o fever_n or_o pester_v with_o some_o other_o hot_a disease_n to_o sweat_v as_o many_o time_n it_o do_v it_o proceed_v not_o from_o any_o diaphoreticall_a or_o sweat_a quality_n inherent_a in_o it_o but_o come_v to_o pass_v rather_o per_fw-la antiperistasim_fw-la and_o accidental_o for_o like_a as_o water_v cast_v upon_o a_o hot_a anvile_n or_o burn_a stone_n immediate_o raise_v up_o vapour_n and_o fume_n ●uen_o so_o do_v water_n give_v to_o such_o a_o body_n which_o after_o

can_v procure_v sweat_n but_o by_o accident_n only_o as_o be_v say_v now_o let_v we_o return_v to_o their_o argument_n which_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v that_o opium_n be_v cold_a in_o respect_n it_o

for_o first_o as_o opium_n provoke_v sleep_v to_o all_o those_o which_o be_v afflict_v with_o hot_a disease_n so_o do_v it_o also_o provoke_v the_o same_o in_o all_o other_o cause_n without_o exception_n yea_o although_o they_o be_v of_o different_a quality_n as_o witness_v avicen_n and_o other_o who_o have_v diligent_o note_v the_o same_o and_o as_o for_o the_o humour_n opium_n do_v not_o only_a incrafsate_n and_o thicken_v th●se_a which_o be_v of_o a_o hot_a quality_n but_o those_o also_o which_o be_v cold_a of_o all_o as_o that_o white_a and_o crystalline_a humour_n which_o flow_v and_o distil_v from_o the_o brain_n unto_o the_o other_o part_n whence_o it_o appear_v that_o a_o man_n can_v produce_v such_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o the_o operation_n of_o opium_n as_o

all_o cold_a thing_n will_v procure_v sleep_n to_o the_o disease_a where_o no_o other_o thing_n can_v effect_v the_o same_o item_n that_o they_o only_o appease_v all_o inward_a grief_n incrass_v
