an excrement which redounds from nourishment which is cast off from another although he grants there that is commonly called an excrement whatsoever is superfluous in the body whether it be a spirit or humor or some other solid body whether it be usual or unusual whether according to nature or preternatural furthermore he holds this vapor to be wandring thin and viscid Chap. 21. and to be raised from a spirituous humorous solid substance but he proves Chap. 22. by many Arguments that this vapor is contrary and preternatural by its whole substance of which we shal speak hereafter and at last Chap. 27. he desines the Veneral vitulency that it is a vapor by its whol substance inimicous to the natural faculty working by degrees And that he might unfold his mind more clearly and not leave the Reader doubtful to what kind of things preternatural this vitulency ought to be referred when as he had said before that it was neither the Disease nor the cause nor the Symptome yet it primarily hurt the actions at length Chap. 28. he holds that 't is an externall error and he endeavors to prove it by this Sylogisme whatsoever doth primarily hurt the operation and is not of the constitution of the body is an external error but the Veneral virulency doth primarily hurt the operation and is not of the constitution of the body therefore 't is an external error Some that they may briefly quit themselves and hold with al men say that this disease is a heap of al evils Diseases and symptomes That we may clear our selves out of this difficult controversy The Veneral disease depends on an occult quality first of al 't is already proved and shal be proved more at large hereafter that they are in the right who do here admit of an occult quality and a power depending on the whole substance as they commonly speak neither can they hold any other waies Since 't is without doubt that 't is a contagious and malignant disease while it is such I● performes two things to wit it alters the body by which it is received and changeth it to its owne similitude and indeed it alters it not by the first qualities as shal be said by and by since it is not expeld by the first qualities neither is that change alwaies with putrefaction whenas putrefaction is not induced but by a long time but this change is made in a moment as it were neither is it an adustion as John Baptista Montanus and some others do h old whenas there is not alwaies a hot dry distemper present neither is it cured by cooling and moistening things and oftentimes there is a fordid putrefaction in which there is no exustion But whereas they hold this malignity is only in that matter seated without the living parts 'T is a disease and that there is no such disease present in this they erre very much Indeed we willingly grant that that contagious inquination sent forth from the body infected with the veneral disease may adhere to the garments neither do we deny this that the humors in our body may be tainted with the same yet in the interim it doth scarce follow that the living parts remain free and found for as in a purrid feaver though the humors and spirits do first grow not by the feaverish heat yet afterwards the living parts are seized on by the same distemper so though the humors in the Veneral disease are first infected by that occult malignity yet there is no cause why the same fault may not be communicated to the living parts But though some do acknowledg that this cause cannot be idle Not hot and dry yet whenas they know nothing beyond the manifest and first qualities they endeavour to reduce also the effects of the veneral virulency to manifest causes John Baptista Montanus as was said even now thinks the essence of this evil consists in a hot and dry distemper but the cure tels otherwise whenas 't is cured by hot and dry Medicines as by the Decoction of Guajacum and the like besides because there is a great putrefaction in the Humors which doth not proceed from a hot and dry distemper Nicolaus Massa de Morb. Galli Cap. 5. Not cold and dry saith it is a coldness of the Liver declining to a little driness with an occult quality but as concerning the occult quality he writes truly but that it is no cold distemper the effect doth teach us as the Ulcers rottenness of the bones and the like and what other distemper soever they alleage Yet they produce nothing agreeable to the Diseases and Symptomes which appear in this Disease nor to the Cure Therefore when as the action of the veneral virulency can be referred to no manifest quality We may wel say that by that is induced an occult quality But occult For first of al every efficient cause is said to be a cause from the nature of its efficiency and therefore this malignant quality doth not only alter and change the humors but also the living parts into its likeness again though the morbifick cause be taken away and this disease seem now to be overcome yet unless that malignant disposition be destroyed the man recovers not his perfect health For it hath been observed that the Veneral Disease hath somtimes grown fresh after thirty years past which doubtless happened not because the Vitious Humors lay so long hid in the body for these would have sooner discovered themselves by their signs but because that malignant disposition imprest on the body was actually there which afterwards by degrees produced vitious humors and corrupted and so broke forth into act and Trincavellius Lib. 11. de curand rat particul affect cap. 11. reports that a certain Woman brought forth a Child sick of the French Disease and every whereful of crusty Ulcers whenas she her self never had any sign of that Disease contracted but was alwaies wholly wel and on the contrary it may happen that one may have a French Ulcer which yet when that Malignity is distroyed is no longer rightly said to be Gallical but is cured by vulgar Medicines as other Ulcers Al which being thus we conceive the the Veneral Disease doth not only exist in the Humors but also in the living parts and that it doth consist not only in the change of the first qualities but also there is an occult malignant quality imprinted on the parts and therefore the veneral Disease is to be referred to diseases and those of occult qualities Which are called by Fernelius diseases of the whol substance but not on every part rightly explained as we have said before the which if Capivaccius and Saxonia had known the one would not have defined this evil by the excrement nor the other by the cause An examination of Aurelius Minadous opinion if the same also had been known to Aurelius Minadous he would not have endeavoured to maintain that this
