since the Rule holds constantly true All Malignant Diseases are Contagious though all contagious Diseases are not Malignant the infection Seminum Contagij being that which the Graecian call 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which are sent forth and slow from the party diseased sometimes per expirationem haltum sometimes perporos cutis 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 after being transmitted and received in corpore analogo doe operate and produce in it the same specificiall Disease The Question is how long these semina morbi may lye hid in the body before they s Habet se contagium Fermenti instar quod in corpore analogo receptum simil m dispososiliodem illi inducet Sen. Fermentate the Humours and break forth into action Cardan and many others hold they may lurke not only dayes but some weekes before the infection betray it selfe as for example the venemous biting of a mad Dog doth long prece'de 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or Feare of drowning t Lib 1. de 26. whether the Contagion be taken immediatly by contact or immediately and at a distance and that either per Fomitem or per Aerem how the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or in quinamenta doe lurke in the body and whether that body must necessarily be corpus analogù that must receive them so that beasts cannot catch the disease of us as we do not each the Murrein of beasts it is not Materiall here to be determined Sufficient it is for our purpose that it appeares to be Contagious by infecting whole Families and seldome in any house where sicke Souldiers of either side are quartered but the Inhabitants likewise fall sicke of the same Disease but if any man be yet obstinate and will not beleive it Contagious I answer him as Proteus in Lucian did Menelaus who would not beleive he could turne himselfe into fire also 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Let him goe near and try The Remedies It may be thought by most but lost labour to attempt the setting downe any Remedies since it is commonly reported as Coyttarus writes was of his Febris purpurata that the Physitians themselves know not the Disease nor the cure of it True it is we doe not here proceed altogether in the same order and method as in common putrid Feavers which contain no malignity in them but as we find altera indicantia so we must provide altera remedia yet we are not destitute of Rule and Method to be observed in the cure of these occult malignant Diseases but as n Lib. 1. cap 1.
