            <p>EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.</p>
            <p>EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).</p>
            <p>The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,368 texts created during Phase 1 of the project (2000-2009), initially available only to institutions that contributed to their creation, were released into the public domain on 1 January 2015. The approximately 40,000 texts produced during Phase 2 (2009- ), of which 34,963 had been released as of 2020, originally similarly restricted, were similarly freed from all restrictions on 1 August 2020. As of that date anyone is free to take and use these texts for any purpose (modify them, annotate them, distribute them, etc.). But we do respectfully request that due credit and attribution be given to their original source.</p>
            <p>Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.</p>
            <p>Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.</p>
            <p>Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as &lt;gap&gt;s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.</p>
            <p>The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.</p>
            <p>Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).</p>
            <p>Keying and markup guidelines are available at the <ref target="http://www.textcreationpartnership.org/docs/.">Text Creation Partnership web site</ref>.</p>

               <pb facs="tcp:37745:5"/>It will appear that I wiſh well unto the publick, when I would have them well inſtructed. Nay further, I doubt not but many will cenſure me, who yet will be glad of this help. And as I know it is the beſt<note n="*" place="margin">See the Authors Preface to his Firſt Book.</note> guide a Phyſician can have; ſo I am the more bold to venture my credit upon it.</p>
            <p n="5">
               <hi>5. Aromatical Plants</hi> are ſuch as have a fragrant ſmell, as Mint, Balm, <hi>&amp;c.</hi>
            </p>
            <p n="6">
               <hi>6. Fermentation</hi> is that change which meat undergoes in the Ventri<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>cle (or Stomach): called of old Di<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>geſtion or Concoction. Not unlike that of Wheat with Leaven, its ſlower having a proportion of Spi<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>rits, Salt and Sulphur, which be<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ing moiſtened, every of thoſe Parti<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>cles are wrought upon by the Leaven, as the parts of our food are wrought
<pb facs="tcp:37745:6"/>upon by the Conflux of humours in the Stomach, thereby loſing their toughneſs; It being an approved Maxime in Chymiſtry, that <hi>Where Salts of different natures meet, they work upon one another:</hi> as you may ſee in §. <hi>10.</hi> below: Our meat thus fermented is called <hi>Chyle.</hi> We take it for granted, that the humour (or humours) which cauſe this fermentation in the Sto<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>mach comes not from the Spleen, ſee<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ing no paſſage from the Spleen to the Stomach could ever be demonſtrated in Anatomy; as Dr. <hi>Willis</hi>
               <note n="*" place="margin">De Fer<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ment. Cap. <hi>5.</hi>
               </note> con<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>feſſes, though to his diſadvantage; thence judging it probable, that the remainder of Chyle in the Stomach being ſowred by its abode there, fer<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ments the meat next eaten; a very unlikely notion, and below a man of his fame; as though between every
<pb facs="tcp:37745:6"/>it could grow ſo ſowre as to ferment the next, as Leaven does the Dough: Surely he has not uſed the rule of proportion right, to take hours for days or weeks.</p>
            <p n="7">
               <hi>7.</hi> That meat rightly ferment, its parts muſt firſt be looſe, and rea<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>dy to be diſ-joyned from one another, thus chewing helpeth fermentation. Hard, tough and dried meat digeſt ſlowly: Bread and moiſt food ſoon: Beer, Broth and any liquid thing ſooner. Wine, Strong drink, <hi>&amp;c.</hi> eſpecially warmed, ſooneſt; yea, they are too quick for Fermentation, nou<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>riſhing the body in an inſtant.</p>
            <p n="8">
               <hi>8.</hi> Secondly, It muſt neither be too raw, nor too ripe. If the firſt, its active parts are not freed eaſily from the thicker, and ſo move not, without which Fermentation cannot be: thus green fruits are not fit for eating, or
<pb facs="tcp:37745:7"/>to make drink of. If the latter, it inclines to putrefaction, the vola<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tile parts leaving the reſt: thus over<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ripe fruits are not fit to make liquors of, becauſe they ſoon putrifie or rot: and if eaten, breed Worms, as do the green.</p>
            <p n="9">
               <hi>9.</hi> Thirdly, It muſt conſiſt of parts different in nature, as it were making a confuſion in the whole: ſome parts oppoſing others, which cauſe motion, each different part contend<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ing with other for dominion. Where<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>as if it conſiſt all of one Element, it is quiet and ſtill, and cannot op<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>poſe it ſelf. As all our meat has Spirit, Salt and Sulphur in it, though not ſo ſenſible to taſte, as de<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>monſtrable by Chymiſtry: So the humours of our body conſiſting of different principles (as you may ſee below) and being in conſtant motion
<pb facs="tcp:37745:7"/>to the Stomach, where it meets with our meat; cauſe a confuſed and un<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>expreſſible efferveſcency both with each other, and alſo with our food.</p>
            <p n="10">
               <hi>10.</hi> An <hi>Efferveſcency</hi> is an op<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>poſition (like unto boiling) of two contrary liquors, as may be ſeen by mixing <hi>Oil of Vitriol</hi> (a ſharp ſowre liquor) and <hi>Spirit of Sal Armoniac</hi> (a Lee Salt) together, which will alſo heat the Glaſs where<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>in they are. So <hi>the juice of the Sweet-bread</hi> of a Sowre, and <hi>Choler</hi> of a Lee-Salt; theſe two I ſay meeting in the Stomach fight thus together, and raiſe an effer<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>veſcency, by which (with freſh ſup<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ply) continued, our meat is di<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>geſted.</p>
            <p n="11">
               <hi>11. Choler</hi> is bred of the Oily and Lee-Salt parts of the blood, and
<pb facs="tcp:37745:8"/>ſeparated from it in the Liver; from thence carried into a Bladder, or lit<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tle bag joined to the Liver, and whoſe office is to contain it, ſending much of it through <hi>one paſſage to the ſmall Gut</hi> and Stomach; and a little of it through <hi>another paſſage to the Heart.</hi>
            </p>
            <p n="12">
               <hi>12.</hi> The juice of the <hi>Sweet-Bread</hi> proceeds from the ſowre part of the Blood, and is ſeparated from it in the kernels of the Sweet-Bread, which like a cuſhion are placed under the Sto<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>mach: This juice is conveyed through many ſmall paſſages into a middle (the great) paſſage, along which it continually moves into the Gut. It and Choler having but one open into the Gut about three fingers breadth off the Stomach.</p>
            <p n="13">
               <hi>13. Spittle</hi> or <hi>Lympha</hi> (whence the <hi>Lymphatick paſſages)</hi> and

               <p n="12">12. I cannot be brought to believe that the ſame may be by an <hi>out<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ward heat of the Sun, of Fire, or of a Bath</hi> not only in the Mother, but afterward alſo in the child; yet I think, an Abortion may ſooner be expected, than ſuch a looſening of the Humours in the child, and hence a neceſſary curding, and laſtly the <hi>Jaundice:</hi> but of that curding a<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>non.</p>

               <p n="14">14. For it ſeems Fabulous that a <hi>Child</hi> in the Womb <hi>ſhould ſwill it ſelf with the water</hi> wherein it ſwims.</p>
               <p n="15">15. Moreover it is a fiction to ſuppoſe that <hi>ſo much wheyiſh matter may go through the Paſſage of the Sweet-Bread</hi> (for I know no other way) <hi>to the ſmall Gut of an Infant,</hi> that the Phlegm ſhould be diſſolved by it, and carried to the Blood, and anon to the<note n="*" place="margin">Which is the bag wherein Choler is contain<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ed.</note> ſeat of Choler, and the place of its ſeparation.</p>
               <p n="16">16. Yet becauſe the plenty of a tough and Phlegmatic Humour, ei<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ther in the whole Body, or at leaſt in the ſmall Gut, and the carriage of it into the Paſſage of Choler into that Gut is not ſufficient, to make an Obſtruction there; unleſs, as hath been ſaid, the ſame Humour ſtick,
<pb n="7" facs="tcp:37745:17"/>and grow together, or curd in the ſame Paſſage: Let us ſee, if it be probable, that the noted Humour can grow together and be curded in Infants, ere they be born.</p>
               <p n="17">17. <hi>Its growing together</hi> is uſually of its own accord, from a cauſe in<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>trinſecal to the Humour, namely, when the external cauſe of its diſ<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ſolving is removed; ſo Broths that have the conſiſtency of a Gelly, as often as they are diſſolved and made liquid, do of their own accord re<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>turn to their former conſiſtence, and grow together again, being remo<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ved from the fire, whoſe heat did make them diſſolve.</p>
               <p n="18">18. Yet <hi>the Humour doth not curd of it ſelf,</hi> but by an external cauſe which ſo changes it when it is fluid, that having got a ſolid conſiſtence, it ceaſeth to be fluid: So any water is wont to curd in Winter into Ice, and loſe its former fluidneſs.</p>
               <p n="19">19. In mans body a tough Hu<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>mour being diſſolved by the outward heat of the Sun, or of Fire, or by mo<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tion

               <p n="20">20. So the ſame tough Humour being diſſolved by much drink ta<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ken in, and carried all the body over, is wont <hi>to be curded by outward cold</hi> careleſly received, and <hi>ſeparating Phlegm</hi> eſpecially <hi>tough,</hi> by <hi>wateriſh drink</hi> confuſed with it, and <hi>thickning it more,</hi> and by this means eaſi<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ly ſtopping it, eſpecially in ſtrait paſſages, and begetting an Obſtru<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ction</p>
               <p n="21">21. Yet becauſe it can ſcarce be granted that tough Phlegm ſhould be diſſolved <hi>in Infants unborn,</hi> and carried all over the body; much leſs can it be granted that it ſhould <hi>of it ſelf</hi> grow together: As which doth preſuppoſe that violent diſſolving.</p>

               <p n="22">22.

                  <hi>CHAP. IV.</hi> Of Belches, the Hicket, Loathing, Pain at the Heart and Vomiting, curded Milk eſpecially.</head>
               <p n="1">1. CHildrens bowels are not only afflicted with Gripes, and green Stools; but their Stomach is often ill affected by <hi>Belches, Hickets, Loathings, Heart aches,</hi> and manifold Vomitings.</p>
               <p n="2">2. <hi>Belches</hi> are bred by <hi>Wind,</hi> both <hi>ſharp</hi> and <hi>ſowre,</hi> and <hi>tough,</hi> and eaſi<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ly diſſolved; of which in the ſecond Chapter.</p>
               <p n="3">3. Their <hi>toughneſs</hi> appears from a difficult and painful belching, often coming forth with a crack.</p>
               <pb n="50" facs="tcp:37745:40"/>
               <p n="4">4. Their <hi>ſharpneſs</hi> and <hi>ſowreneſs</hi> is manifeſt to the Noſes of ſtanders by.</p>
               <p n="5">
                  <note place="margin">The Hick<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>et what.</note>5. The <hi>Hicket</hi> is a convulſive mo<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tion of the Midriff returning by ſhort ſpaces, yet not continually afflicting, as we obſerve is wont to be in the Falling ſickneſs, in which the ſha<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>king of the limbs, lips, eye-lids, eyes, or of other parts is continual, and endures; which the Hicket doth not.</p>
               <p n="6">
                  <note place="margin">How it differs from the Convulſi<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>on.</note>6. And if any ſhould enquire af<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ter the reaſon of this difference; My anſwer ſhall be, that <hi>in the Hicket</hi> the motion is commonly <hi>in the upper ori<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>fice of the Stomach;</hi> but in the <hi>Falling<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ſickneſs in the beginning of the Nerves:</hi> whence as the motion here is conti<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>nual, and that by turns, of neceſſity there follows a continual Convulſive motion, that is, reciprocal or by turns, upon the oppoſite Muſcles: But in the Hicket, becauſe the up<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>per orifice of the Stomach is hurt, the Midriff is likewiſe affected and hindred in moving upward, and then conſtrained to contract it ſelf down<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ward,
<pb n="51" facs="tcp:37745:40"/>and that ſooner, flower, more ſtrongly, or gently, as that motion is greater or leſſer.</p>
               <p n="7">7. The motion is <hi>more grievous,</hi> when <hi>the wind</hi> is both <hi>ſharp</hi> and <hi>tough;</hi> and leſs grievous, when the ſame wind is moderate, or leſs tough.</p>
               <p n="8">8. Therefore this motion of the Stomach, ſeeing it is helped only by the motion of the Midriff downward, and the drawing it upward doth not follow, no wonder, if there be <hi>not a reciprocal convulſive motion of the Midriff in the Hicket,</hi> but <hi>only a con<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tracting motion,</hi> if we may ſo ſpeak.</p>
               <p n="9">9. For here is not a Convulſion, otherwiſe the Midriff would remain in the ſame ſtate; but a Convulſive motion, becauſe the Midriff ſoon ceaſeth from its violent, and forced contraction, although that forced motion be not reciprocal, as is ob<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ſerved in other convulſive moti<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ons.</p>
               <p n="10">10. Seeing therefore that the Midriff is affected by the Stomach ill affected, fretted and moved, it is only ſo much
<pb n="52" facs="tcp:37745:41"/>moved by force, as to ſerve it, that is, in moving it ſelf downward; by which motion the Stomach is after a certain manner preſſed down, and is helped in ſending up any trouble<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ſome thing that is in it; which is ex<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>pected in vain by the motion of it up<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ward, as which helps not to caſt forth any thing in the Stomach.</p>
               <p n="11">11. What I have newly ſaid, is apparent from the ſcituation of the body, and eſpecially of the belly to promote a diſcharge of Belches, or any humours out of the Stomach; for then we are wont to bend the whole body forward, and to lift up our legs, thereby to ſtraiten the belly, and preſs it, the more to ſtraiten the Stomach; which the motion of the Midriff downward doth likewiſe promote.</p>
               <p n="12">12. The <hi>Cauſe</hi> therefore <hi>of the Hicket is</hi> commonly <hi>a ſharp Humour,</hi> or <hi>Vapour,</hi> as alſo <hi>Wind</hi> any way, but eſpecially by its ſharpneſs, <hi>gnaw<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ing and moving the upper orifice of the Stomach.</hi>
               </p>
               <pb n="53" facs="tcp:37745:41"/>
               <p n="13">13. (I cannot think, that the Hick<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>et can be cauſed without ſharpneſs in thoſe vapours, ſeeing we often belch tough Wind, and have no Hicket, which could not be, if by its tough<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>neſs it could vex the upper orifice of the Stomach, and breed the Hicket.)</p>
               <p n="14">14. Now this ſharp Humour, Va<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>pour or Wind ariſes from any thing lately taken in; although more fre<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>quently it proceeds from Humours, already in the body, and flowing in<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>to the ſmall Gut, and there making a wrong efferveſcency, after which ſome part of it gets into the Stomach, or breeds ſharp Vapours, or Wind, which likewiſe tending thither may cauſe the Hicket.</p>
               <p n="15">15. Oftentimes we find that <hi>a Loathing,</hi> and <hi>pain at the Heart</hi> ac<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>companies the Hicket; and are ſome<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>times without it.</p>
               <p n="16">
                  <note place="margin">Loathing how it differs from Pain at the Heart.</note>16. <hi>A Loathing depends on the vola<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tility of the Humours or Vapours; A Pain at the Heart on their Sharp<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>neſs.</hi>
               </p>
               <pb n="54" facs="tcp:37745:42"/>
               <p n="17">17. Each may be cauſed by things taken in (as we ſaid of the Hicket) riſing from the ſmall Gut to the Sto<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>mach.</p>
               <p n="18">
                  <note place="margin">Vomiting what.</note>18. <hi>Vomiting</hi> is a diſcharging of what is in the Stomach out at the Mouth.</p>
               <p n="19">19. All <hi>Vomiting is a preternatu<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ral Motion of the Stomach;</hi> for none in health vomits: ſeeing that <hi>the Na<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tural Motion</hi> of the Stomach begins at its upper Orifice, which by a kind<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ly contraction of it ſelf thruſts what<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ſoever is in it through the Pylorus, (that is, its lower orifice) to the Guts.</p>
               <p n="20">20. For volatile ſpirituous things need no preparation in the Stomach; which if they do not meet with any thing in the Stomach to ſtop them, are ſtraight carried down to the Guts, and from thence to the Heart; whereby the Sick are ſo ſpeedily re<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>freſhed, though never ſo weak be<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>fore.</p>
               <p n="21">21. Again other things have need to ſtay in the Stomach, to be <hi>changed
<pb n="55" facs="tcp:37745:42"/>into Chyle,</hi> which is done by <hi>Fermen<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tation.</hi>

               <p n="22">22. By which change our food is prepared to let thoſe parts uſeful for nouriſhment be ſeparated from the excrements in the ſmall Gut.</p>
               <p n="23">23. For the parts of mixed Food, as well as Medicines, are ſo cloſely mixed in many, that they cannot be ſeparated from one another without due preparation, whereby they bring that deſired and expected benefit both to healthy and ſick people.</p>
               <p n="24">24. When this natural prepara<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tion of Food and Medicines is per<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>fected in the Stomach, the Stomach contracts it ſelf at its upper part, gently forcing downward what is in it, to the ſmall Gut, which by its periſtaltick motion it ſtill forces lower along the Gut.</p>
               <p n="25">25. And while food is thus forced down, both Choler and the juice of the Sweet-Bread is mixed with i<gap reason="illegible" resp="#PDCC" extent="1 letter">

<pb n="56" facs="tcp:37745:43"/>a laudable ſeparation of uſeful from the unuſeful parts; but if the ſaid efferveſcency be faulty, either by the fault of Food, Choler, or the Juice of the Sweat-bread, it often falls out, that thence ariſe ſharp Va<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>pours, Wind, or ſuch like humours, by which the ſmall gut being potent<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ly moved ſtraitens it ſelf more nar<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>

               <p n="26">26. Vomiting in Children newly born is commonly more cauſed by bad humours in the body, and ſo brought into the ſmall Gut, than by <gap reason="illegible" resp="#PDCC" extent="1 letter">

               <p n="35">35. Seeing that the Thruſh has its original from a faulty ſowre hu<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>mour, and that commonly riſing up from the lower parts through the Stomach, and its Mouth ſeldom brought with the Spittle into the Mouth: We muſt therefore note it, not only becauſe of the Thruſh trou<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>bling the Mouth, but alſo becauſe of that ſowre humour in the body, which does or may breed other harms; from which we may expect a greater danger of life than from the Thruſh, which may ſhorten life by ſtraitning the jaws, and hindring our breathing and ſwallowing any thing.</p>
               <p n="36">36. Hence it is clear, that the Thruſh is only dangerous, when it is

               <p n="32">32. I cannot paſs over, that in mine eleemoſynary Practice there was an Infant of about two years old brought to my door, who about a month before had the <hi>Kink-Cough,</hi> which brought upon it the <hi>Falling-ſickneſs;</hi> and after it <hi>the Infant</hi> that <hi>walked</hi> and <hi>ſpake</hi> before, <hi>became dumb,</hi> and as it were <hi>Palſical, not being able to walk.</hi>

               <p n="2">2. The <hi>Small Pox</hi> and <hi>Meaſles</hi> are thought <hi>unavoidable,</hi> although I have known many live to old age, and die without them.</p>

<pb n="108" facs="tcp:37745:69"/>while it is therein, ſome part of it ha<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ving got into the Child, and ſooner, or later ſeparated</hi> from the blood is dri<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ven to the outer part of the body.</p>
               <p n="4">4. As I know no urgent reaſon againſt it, ſo neither can I bring any for it.</p>
               <p n="5">5. This I know, <hi>that few eſcape the Small Pox, but at certain times and years they are Epidemical,</hi> and <hi>ſometimes afflict worſe than at other times.</hi>

               <p n="39">39. Yet ſtill we have as great a puzzle to extricate from, in deter<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>mining the place or part where this corrupted Blood can lie hid.</p>

               <p n="41">41.

               <p n="42">42. If <hi>that Sowre Humour were ve<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ry ſharp, it could not be hid in the Blood,</hi> but would more and more corrupt it; but it is brought to reſt and made dull ſo, as with facility to gain its former ſharpneſs, and then to corrupt the Blood.</p>
               <p n="43">43. My reaſon is, becauſe the blood is not corrupted, when that ſowre humour begins to work, while
<pb n="117" facs="tcp:37745:73"/>the former Fever continues, when it is ſent to the outſide of the Body, and the Swellings appear; but then, it hath ſtuck ſome days in the Swel<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>lings, when they encreaſe gradually, when Heat, Redneſs and Pain are in thoſe Swellings.</p>
               <p n="44">44. For then, that Sowre Hu<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>mour being looſed of its Fetters, corrupts the nouriſhing Blood which comes towards the ſurface of the skin, raiſes a bad efferveſcency with it in every Pox, which inclines to an Inflamation, and imparts its harm to all the Blood, which being tranſ<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>mitted to the Heart, cauſes a Fe<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ver till by degrees, partly by the Blood, corrupted in every Swelling or Pox, partly by outward and in<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ward Medicines, prudently and dili<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>gently uſed, that Sowre Humour is made weaker and ſubdued, and the Pox full of matter fall off.</p>
               <p n="45">45. So then this Sowre but dull Humour cauſing the Small Pox, gets its Sharpneſs, when being ſent every way, it ſticks in the ſurface
<pb n="118" facs="tcp:37745:74"/>or outſide of the Body, and by ſtick<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>ing there is made ſharper, and cor<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>rupts the nouriſhing Blood that comes near it, and breeds many In<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>flamations, and after them Ulcers; which being either opened, matter runs out, or by little and little dried, the Scabs fall off, both the ſpots re<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>maining, and ſometimes their hol<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>low places more or leſs deep.</p>
               <p n="46">46. If the Small Pox come forth in or about the Spring, the ſpots diſappear in the ſame Summer; But if they be in Autumn, they con<g ref="char:EOLhyphen"/>tinue all that winter, and fade the next Summer.</p>
               <p n="47">47. Alſo leſſer Pits commonly fill in young people, but blemiſh the faces of years, eſpecially if they be deep, and have made ſcars.</p>
