elsewhere_o say_v that_o all_o the_o excrement_n of_o our_o body_n be_v alkaly_n alkaly_n can_v hinder_v their_o evacuation_n but_o only_o acid_v which_o by_o contract_v the_o pore_n of_o those_o

either_o benign_a or_o malign_v have_v i_o ever_o yet_o observe_v that_o the_o patient_n have_v be_v in_o the_o least_o sensible_a of_o any_o acidity_n in_o the_o stomach_n or_o mouth_n but_o notwithstanding_o acidity_n be_v not_o perceivable_a in_o the_o mouth_n yet_o it_o be_v probable_a and_o true_a that_o acidity_n be_v the_o occasion_n of_o the_o foulness_n perceive_v there_o by_o make_v it_o too_o thick_a and_o clammy_a to_o go_v off_o by_o other_o proper_a passage_n and_o mr._n colbatch_n so_o far_o be_v block-head-like_a in_o the_o right_n of_o it_o for_o sometime_o they_o have_v a_o clammy_a bitter_a taste_n in_o their_o mouth_n but_o yet_o according_a to_o his_o own_o confession_n acid_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o bitter_a taste_n for_o he_o say_v acid_n be_v bitter_a namely_o rad._n serpentariae_fw-la again_o if_o acid_n be_v bitter_a perhaps_o he_o will_v say_v choler_n be_v a_o acid_n and_o no_o doubt_n but_o if_o it_o be_v for_o his_o purpose_n he_o will_v say_v so_o have_v he_o not_o elsewhere_o call_v it_o a_o alkaly_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v more_o evident_a that_o acidity_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o ill_a taste_n which_o feverish_a people_n have_v we_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o he_o often_o assert_n that_o all_o the_o excrement_n of_o our_o body_n be_v alkaly_n and_o if_o so_o acidity_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o those_o ill_a taste_n in_o the_o mouth_n because_o they_o alone_o according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o acid_n and_o alkaly_n can_v hinder_v these_o alkaly_n from_o go_v off_o by_o their_o proper_a emunctory_n which_o i_o have_v sufficient_o prove_v before_o and_o therefore_o need_v not_o say_v any_o more_o here_o page_n 41._o first_o he_o say_v the_o life_n of_o man_n be_v flame_n etc._n etc._n and_o page_n 42_o he_o ask_v if_o fire_n be_v not_o actual_o existent_a in_o animal_n body_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a it_o shall_v be_v extract_v from_o they_o as_o for_o the_o first_o of_o these_o i_o have_v answer_v it_o sufficient_o in_o my_o treatise_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o therefore_o i_o shall_v refer_v the_o reader_n to_o that_o for_o a_o answer_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o transcribe_v all_o that_o i_o have_v there_o say_v in_o answer_n to_o dr._n willis_n his_o opinion_n all_o that_o he_o further_o say_v from_o page_n 42_o to_o 54_o be_v to_o assert_v that_o there_o be_v flame_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o fermentation_n but_o it_o be_v only_o dr._n willis_n his_o opinion_n i_o shall_v also_o refer_v the_o reader_n for_o a_o answer_n there_o and_o i_o wonder_v mr._n colbatch_n do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o vindicate_v dr._n willis_n from_o those_o objection_n but_o the_o reason_n i_o believe_v be_v because_o he_o can_v not_o for_o when_o i_o be_v late_o in_o london_n he_o tell_v i_o he_o have_v write_v something_o to_o this_o purpose_n and_o when_o i_o ask_v whether_o he_o have_v answer_v my_o book_n he_o tell_v i_o he_o do_v not_o love_v to_o mix_v his_o notion_n with_o other_o man_n and_o that_o he_o will_v not_o read_v my_o book_n till_o he_o be_v print_v which_o i_o conceive_v be_v only_o a_o excuse_n because_o at_o that_o time_n he_o have_v write_v most_o of_o this_o book_n against_o tuthill_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o print_v it_o against_o he_o though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o know_v my_o book_n contain_v a_o confutation_n of_o it_o all_o that_o he_o say_v come_v to_o no_o more_o than_o that_o the_o blood_n grow_v hot_a by_o accension_n and_o not_o by_o fermentation_n the_o former_a of_o which_o be_v sufficient_o confute_v in_o my_o answer_n to_o dr._n willis_n and_o though_o i_o have_v assert_v that_o the_o blood_n grow_v hot_a by_o fermentation_n yet_o any_o one_o that_o read_v my_o book_n and_o compare_v it_o with_o what_o he_o say_v will_v see_v that_o i_o do_v mean_v by_o fermentation_n such_o a_o fermentation_n as_o he_o here_o deny_v but_o only_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o motion_n of_o the_o minute_n particle_n of_o matter_n as_o be_v able_a to_o cause_v a_o sensation_n of_o heat_n upon_o our_o sensory_a page_n 44._o to_o prove_v that_o heat_n be_v not_o produce_v after_o the_o cartesian_a hypothesis_n he_o say_v i_o can_v assure_v you_o i_o know_v several_a fluid_v the_o more_o brisk_a they_o be_v move_v the_o cold_a they_o be_v as_o for_o instance_n a_o river_n be_v always_o cold_a in_o that_o place_n where_o there_o be_v a_o quick_a current_n than_o where_o the_o water_n stand_v still_o the_o air_n be_v always_o more_o or_o less_o cold_a according_a as_o the_o motion_n of_o it_o be_v great_a or_o lesser_a and_o i_o can_v assure_v you_o i_o have_v be_v almost_o starve_v when_o force_v to_o travel_v in_o the_o high_a wind_n in_o the_o winter_n time_n at_o which_o season_n the_o air_n be_v most_o full_a of_o nitrous_a particle_n and_o again_o page_n 50_o he_o say_v if_o the_o progressive_a motion_n from_o the_o heart_n to_o the_o extremity_n give_v it_o its_o heat_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n i_o think_v the_o water_n which_o run_v from_o our_o cock_n shall_v be_v warm_a also_o now_o from_o hence_o we_o way_n easy_o gather_v what_o a_o extraordinary_a philosopher_n mr._n colbatch_n be_v who_o attribute_n the_o heat_n or_o cold_a of_o fluids_n to_o a_o collective_a motion_n of_o a_o whole_a mass_n instead_o of_o the_o particle_n which_o constitute_v that_o mass_n for_o he_o say_v a_o river_n be_v cold_a where_o the_o current_n be_v great_a and_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o i_o have_v give_v the_o reason_n of_o heat_n in_o my_o treatise_n of_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o blood_n i_o need_v not_o repeat_v it_o again_o but_o least_o mr._n colbatch_n when_o he_o find_v it_o there_o can_v apply_v it_o i_o shall_v tell_v he_o that_o the_o reason_n why_o wind_n and_o water_n tempestuous_o move_v cause_n cold_a be_v because_o those_o part_n be_v more_o forcible_o drive_v upon_o the_o sensory_a and_o how_o they_o cause_v a_o cold_a sensation_n there_o be_v plain_a from_o what_o i_o have_v say_v concern_v the_o use_n of_o the_o lung_n in_o admit_v nitre_n into_o the_o blood_n where_o i_o have_v assert_v that_o though_o nitre_n be_v in_o a_o gentle_a motion_n itself_o when_o fluid_a in_o the_o air_n yet_o it_o be_v natural_o inclinable_a to_o rest_v and_o dispose_v those_o humour_n to_o a_o rest_n with_o which_o it_o be_v mix_v for_o which_o reason_n water_n freeze_v in_o the_o winter_n and_o though_o the_o water_n and_o air_n in_o which_o this_o nitre_n swim_v be_v in_o motion_n yet_o that_o be_v not_o such_o a_o motion_n as_o cause_n heat_v for_o a_o sensation_n of_o heat_n depend_v on_o matter_n in_o such_o a_o degree_n of_o motion_n as_o be_v a_o little_a above_o nature_n which_o preternatural_o affect_v we_o cause_n heat_v and_o that_o motion_n be_v not_o a_o motion_n of_o a_o whole_a mass_n collective_o but_o a_o swift_a intestine_a motion_n of_o the_o part_n of_o that_o matter_n

placid_a relaxation_n i_o believe_v be_v scarce_o common_a sense_n but_o i_o can_v but_o take_v notice_n here_o how_o pretty_o and_o considerate_o father_n malbranch_n preside_v his_o contradiction_n for_o first_o he_o say_v pleasure_n and_o pain_n proceed_v from_o a_o placid_a vellication_n of_o the_o membrane_n and_o then_o that_o pain_n be_v a_o contraction_n and_o pleasure_n a_o pacid_a

deal_n of_o phlegm_n which_o show_v that_o acids_n cause_n the_o serum_n of_o the_o blood_n to_o thicken_v and_o consequent_o obstruct_v and_o sometime_o cause_n pain_n in_o the_o head_n but_o some_o people_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o spit_v phlegm_n nor_o to_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o head_n and_o for_o those_o gentleman_n i_o have_v another_o instance_n viz._n that_o the_o niter_fw-la of_o the_o
