A43447	The art of curing sympathetically, or magnetically, proved to be most true by its theory and practice exemplified by several cures performed that way: with a discourse concerning the cure of madness, and an appendix to prove the reality of sympathy : also an account of some cures perform'd by it in London / written originally in Latin by H.M.

do_v not_o produce_v in_o it_o such_o a_o quality_n as_o be_v evident_a in_o rhubarb_n who_o small_a part_n have_v a_o laxative_a virtue_n and_o the_o thick_a be_v restringent_a mastic_n in_o one_o

those_o quality_n equal_o belong_v to_o all_o thing_n and_o not_o only_o to_o the_o first_o element_n as_o they_o pretend_v because_o all_o body_n and_o all_o air_n water_n and_o earth_n be_v capable_a of_o receive_v heat_n or_o cold_a etc._n etc._n their_o substance_n remain_v unchanged_a nay_o even_o fire_v itself_o may_v have_v great_a or_o lesser_a degree_n of_o heat_n and_o the_o

those_o quality_n as_o they_o contain_v the_o element_n either_o formal_o as_o some_o assert_v or_o virtual_o and_o eminent_o as_o other_o which_o in_o mixt_n be_v reduce_v into_o act_n by_o the_o

graulty_a and_o levity_n do_v proceed_v from_o heat_n or_o cold_a etc._n etc._n then_o those_o thing_n will_v be_v light_a that_o participate_v most_o of_o fire_n the_o contrary_a whereof_o be_v manifest_v in_o red_a hot_a iron_n heat_a stone_n etc._n etc._n because_o the_o fire_n do_v not_o make_v they_o in_o the_o least_o light_a and_o so_o the_o earth_n shall_v be_v heavy_a than_o gold_n tin_n copper_n etc._n etc._n which_o according_a to_o their_o supposition_n be_v mix_v body_n have_v more_o fire_n in_o they_o as_o be_v say_v before_o neither_o do_v gravity_n and_o levity_n

will_v not_o swim_v upon_o the_o water_n etc._n etc._n and_o if_o those_o first_o quality_n as_o they_o call_v they_o do_v not_o rise_v from_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v common_o call_v the_o element_n from_o whence_o will_v this_o suppositious_a offspring_n of_o they_o deduce_v its_o pedigree_n that_o be_v these_o second_o quality_n which_o they_o will_v have_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o

show_v to_o be_v simple_o impossible_a by_o a_o example_n we_o can_v give_v no_o judgement_n concern_v the_o first_o quality_n from_o colour_n for_o almost_o all_o herb_n though_o very_o different_a

can_v be_v give_v of_o the_o first_o quality_n from_o thickness_n softness_n hardness_n subtlety_n dryness_n lubricity_n friability_n and_o roughness_n for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o they_o that_o

quality_n of_o the_o three_o rank_n which_o they_o call_v occult_a can_v proceed_v from_o the_o figuration_n of_o matter_n by_o the_o form_n from_o the_o mixture_n of_o the_o element_n although_o we_o shall_v grant_v mixture_n the_o figure_n of_o the_o form_n of_o fire_n will_v only_o produce_v heat_n of_o water_n moisture_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o they_o can_v any_o way_n produce_v occult_a

quality_n for_o example_n the_o anti-epileptical_a virtue_n be_v in_o the_o peony_n because_o its_o form_n be_v pre-determined_n from_o the_o precise_a form_n of_o the_o element_n that_o be_v either_o from_o the_o form_n of_o the_o earth_n water_n or_o fire_n etc._n etc._n or_o from_o the_o mixture_n of_o two_o three_o etc._n etc._n but_o this_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v from_o the_o reason_n before_o lay_v down_o to_o wit_n the_o power_n of_o open_v in_o the_o thin_a part_n of_o rhubarb_n as_o it_o consist_v of_o such_o part_n nor_o of_o bind_v in_o the_o thick_a part_n and_o in_o

and_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o say_v that_o quality_n be_v not_o call_v occult_a because_o they_o not_o sufficient_o be_v know_v to_o we_o but_o because_o they_o be_v not_o perceive_v by_o the_o

which_o the_o sight_n clear_o discern_v be_v more_o occult_a than_o moisture_n in_o the_o water_n or_o heat_n in_o the_o fire_n and_o sun_n which_o be_v perceive_v by_o the_o feel_n and_o in_o regard_n no_o body_n yet_o be_v ever_o capable_a to_o demonstrate_v why_o fire_n be_v hot_a or_o water_n moist_a any_o more_o than_o why_o the_o magnet_n draw_v iron_n etc._n etc._n then_o either_o all_o those_o quality_n be_v occult_a or_o none_o for_o if_o the_o first_o quality_n that_o be_v more_o intermediate_o subject_a to_o our_o sense_n be_v not_o more_o know_v than_o the_o occult_a much_o less_o the_o second_o that_o arise_v from_o they_o beside_o what_o thing_n soever_o flow_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o principle_n one_o of_o they_o can_v be_v say_v to_o he_o more_o

but_o matter_n form_n and_o ferment_n but_o form_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o in_o all_o thing_n man_n only_o except_v therefore_o different_a quality_n can_v proceed_v from_o it_o matter_n be_v

colour_n proportion_n and_o different_a figure_n proceed_v from_o ferment_n as_o from_o their_o original_n so_o also_o attractive_a repulsive_a sympathetical_a and_o antipathetical_a power_n proceed_v

the_o first_o than_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o peripatetic_n assert_v that_o there_o be_v a_o substantial_a form_n in_o sensitives_n and_o vegetable_n which_o with_o matter_n do_v make_v up_o
