a threefold consideration especially First when healthful windes do not blow this is evident for if the aire be not difflated and moved with the winde it easily corrupts Secondly when it 's defiled with polluted putrid and stinking vapours and this is most powerful and most frequent those vapours arise from Marshes Lakes Pooles Bogs Fish-ponds or other watery places which are standing or stuffed with filthy matter or waters wherein is steep'd lime hemp or from stinking Sinkes Dunghils and narrow lanes that stink or from dead carcases unburied Or from caves and dens in which the aire hath been very long shut up le ts out a stinking putridness by Earth-quakes or by other accident Thirdly as the aire exceeds in its first quality or it be in a preposterous condition so it afflicts men this happens various wayes but especially when it exceeds too much in hotness moistnesse being the principle of corruption hence the South-winde continuing long hath beene a speciall cause of all pestilential Fevers if it exceed in drinesse it 's lesse hurtful yet an enemy to our nature therefore if it extraordinarily exceed it procures the like affect with the other especially if therewithal be joyned excessive hotnesse by this also is fruit corrupted If it exceed in coldnesse it procures pestilent Fevers by stopping the pores whence is procured greater putrefaction and more grievous venosity and hence these Fevers are more dangerous then in Summer because then the passages are more open through which that which is putrid easily exhales and preternatural afflux from the naturall is fitly breathed out The inequalities of the times are wont to be the cause of these Fevers viz. when it 's one while hot then cold now dry then moist succeeding one another oft interchanging and continuing long as when after long heat comes extreme cold suddenly or when after long raine extreme drynesse followeth so contrary or when the aire is preposterous as hot in winter and cold in summer for hence is procured great confusion of humours thence acquiring an ill condition fit to produce maligne Fevers especially in those bodies which before by reason of ill diet are plethorick cacochymick or have notable obstructions To these causes may be added the aire altered by the afflux of ill Planets as the ☌ of ♄ ♃ and ♂ in which are humane signes especially ♂ being Lord and by these diseases are procured from no other cause then by the change of the aire Now this change is either from a manifest quality i. e. when from their influence the aire is changed or from an occultnesse when from the hidden force of the starres without notable excesse in the first qualities The first is undubitable and consented to by al Philosophers that these inferiours are governed by the superiour constellations for as the alteration of the aire which happens quarterly ariseth from the annual motion of the Sunne so the great diversity of years one being very moist another very dry when as the Sunne holds the same course in the Zodiack every year it could not be unlesse it depended upon the various Aspects of the Stars though the other not so easily beleeved is proved by Astrologers To these may be added Eclipses Meteors especially Comets which seldome ever appear but epidemical and pestilent diseases and various mutations follow in the world as may appear by the effects of that which appeared November 17. 1610. to the truth of which all Europe may give an experimentall testimony The next cause is Aliment when by reason of a certaine ill diet morjapparatus is drawn on which is the cause sine qua non and the efficient internal of all maligne and pestilent Fevers for from ill and corrupt nourishment pestilential diseases arise especially if it happen from the foresaid constitutions of the aire Famine is another cause according to the proverb A Plague followes a Famine for then the poorer sort filling themselves with ill aliment thence followes an ill habit and especially if after penury comes suddenly plenty for then they too suddenly gorging themselves with much meat which cannot by reason of the weak heat of the parts be rightly concocted whence a maligne putridnesse is acquired Again when Aliments good in themselves acquire a putrid ill quality such as Wheat Barley when either too long kept or put into ill and noysome places so also flesh or when it dies of it self For drink these may cause viz. putrid and corrupt wine and water of corrupt and putrid and stinking Lakes also other corrupted liquor The last is the non-natural as excretion and retention motion and rest sleeping and waking and the passions of the minde and these may be looked upon onely as adjuvant causes disposing the body to receive maligne putrefaction First the retention of the Menses in women other accustomed evacuations in men as the Hemorrhoids Hemorrhagiae and Fluxes of the belly which in some happen by intervals if they fall out in Epidemical constitutions they usually produce maligne diseases for that which should be cast out as superfluous and burdensome to nature being retained easily beget putrefaction So too great evacuations either of blood or other humours much weakens the body diminisheth the native heat which receives more easily the pollution of the ill and pestilent aire Too much idlenesse and too much exercise also affects the first for want of free ventilation which causeth putrefaction the other opening the pores and dissolving the heat makes a more easie way to receive the seed of contagion Too much sleep heap up many excrements and fills the body with humidities which most easily putrefie But too much watching generates crudities more then the native heat is able to regulate whence many obstructions are caused and so transpiration is hindered which generate putrefaction Passions of the minde as vehemently to move the body and disturbe the humours greatly hasten on this evill especially fear and sorrow which calls the vital spirits inward whence the strength of the heart being much broken is lesse able to resist danger yea and the commotion of the humours in the veines and their vehement disturbance dejects the natural constitution and begets maligne putrefaction However it 's thought the Plague in armies is more raging not so much from the ill diet as the apprehension of the danger of death Prognosticks are uncertaine therfore no event to be assured till there be manifest conquest either of the disease or nature Prognos which is discernable either at the end of the state or the beginning of the declination therefore in the beginning and encrease judgement is to be suspended if the Pulse keeps equal and in order in these Fevers although the Fever appears great there is alwayes good hope but contrary if inordinate unequal and contracted dangerous especially if it hath appeared weak from the beginning yet these differences of Pulses are not so pernicious in maligne as in common Fevers for although the Pulse intermitting in young is deadly
