diversity of Salts for the Earth yeelds first Salt-gemme which answers in proportion to Sea-salt that is onely saltish in tast then Salt-nitre which is bitter in tast and Salt-alum which is austere and Astringent afterwards Salt of Vitriol and Salt Armoniac which are acid and hot and lastly those corrosive sharp Salts which are termed Alkal● with others that are sweet and pleasant as Sugar so in the lesser world that is in the body of man there is generated a Tartar or Salt which being dissolved causeth onely a saltish humour which the Dogmatical Physicians term saltish phegme in plaine termes a salt water or humour There is also generated a nitrous or bitter Salt which mixeth with the Urine and causeth bitter Choler and a vitriolated acid salt which predominates in acid phlegme and melancholy In like manner there be also aluminous and austere kinds of Tartar and other sorts which resemble the acrimonie of Salt as it is manifestly seen by the various affections of contractures and astrictions of the sinews and the many perilous troubles of acrimonious humours in Dysenteries and divers Ulcers as well inward as outward all which are caused by the many and different kindes of Salts which are generated in the body For why should not this be done by those things which are most like to doe it and most significant and which do most properly and fully expresse the natures and diversities of Causes having their derivation and appositenes from the very fountains of nature who is the best Interpretress of her own concernments These Salts believe me doe better expresse and discover unto us the essences and distinctions of Tartareous or saltish diseases then those four humours which are commonly termed the Sanguine the Phlegmatic the Bilious and the Melancholy both because that these latter termes signifie nothing unto us of the essence or matter of the Disease and also because that those Dogmatists themselves Hallucinate and stagger very much both in the formation or aptnesse and in the application of their said termes II. Tartar is two-fold Adventitious and Innate III. Adventitious Tartar proceeds from meat and drinke and the Impressions of the Firmament EVery thing that we eat and drinke hath in it a Mucilaginous reddish and sandy Tartar very noxious to the health of man Nature receives nothing for her own use but what is pure The stomack which is an instrument of the Archaeus of man or an internall innate Chymist and implanted there by God presently upon the reception of that which is chew'd and swallowed down separates the impure Tartareous part from the pure nutriment If the stomack be vigorous especially in its faculty of separation the pure portion passeth presently into all the members to nourish and preserve the body and the impure goes forth into the Draught if the stomack be weake the impure portion is through the M●saraic veines conveyd to the Liver where a second digestion or separation is made Here the Liver separates againe the pure from the impure the Rubie from the Chrystall that is to say the Red from the White The Red is the nutriment of all the members the heart the brain c. The white ●or that which is no nutriment is driven by the Liver to the Reyns and it is Urine which is nothing else but Salt which being exprest from the Mercuriall portions by the violence of the separation is forced to a dissolution It is dissolved into water by the Liven so cast forth If the Liver by reason of its debility makes no perfect separation it casts that Mucilaginous and Calculous impurity upon the Reyns where for want of a ●ight and through separation it is according to the concurrency and Method of nature by the mediation of the spirit of Salt coagulated into Sand or Tartar either Massie and Solid or Mucilaginous This Tartar therefore is the Excretion of meat and drinke which is coagulated in all mens bodies by the spirit of Salt unless the expulsive faculty by its owne peculiar vigour or virtue can command it into the Excrements and so cast it out by dejection IV. There are four kinds of this AdventitiousTartar which proceed originally from the four distinct fruits or Cibations which we receive from the four Elements THe first kind proceeds from the use of those things that grow out of the Earth as from all sorts of Pulse Grains Fruits Herbs and Roots upon which we feed The second proceeds from those nutriments which we take out of the Element of Water as from fish shel-fish c. The third is from the flesh of Birds and beasts c. The fourth comes from the Firmament which the spirit of Wine in respect of its subtilty doth most resemble This kind of Tartar is of a most forcible impression while the Air being primarily infected with the vapours of the Earth the water and the firmament doth afterwards annoy us as wee frequently see in those acute and pernitious Astral Diseases the Pleurisie the Plague the Prunella c. V. Tartar innate is that which is cogenerated with man in his mothers wombe VI Besides these impure Tinctures and Meteors there is another substantial Extrarious cause which cannot be reduced to a certa●ne kind TO this must be referred those Insecta's or quick Creatures which sometimes though rarely are generated in the body as Snakes divers worms c. Secondly those things must be referred hither which by inchantment and the mediation of evill spirits are invisibly and insensibly conveyed into the bodies of men and Women Thirdly We are to reduce to this Aphorisme or Canon all Splinters Bullets or other weapons which being violently thrust or shot into the body lie deeply in the flesh or under the skin VII We have now done with the Substantial Extrarious Cause To the Accidental I shall referre all disproportions of Limbs Gibbosities Luxations Wounds and fractures of bones CHAP. 6. Of God the first and supreme Cause of the Extrarious Cause HAving now done with the Extrarious or conjoyned and apparent cause of the disease I shall consider the cause of that Extrarious Cause I. This Cause I shall divide into six heads or branches The first of which is God 2. Excesse and defect of Necessaries 3. Fire 4. Hereditary impurity 5. Imagination 6. Violent Illation Of these I shall treat in their order and first of GOD MAn because he is made in the Image of God is bound also to live according to his Will I mean his will revealed and laid down in the Ten Commandements and the holy Scriptures namely in those Bookes onely which were left unto us and which without scruple we have received from the holy Prophets and the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour but when we transgresse and violate this Law and will of our maker then doth God send upon us condigne punishments amongst which Diseases are numbred in the very Booke of the Law For thus saith the Lord If ye shall despise my statutes or if your soules
