according to rational Prognosticks predicted that Scamony Colocynthis Sena c. would Purge and that before ever they had been found so to do by experiment would have been a satisfactory evincement of the reason of the thing but this is more competible to the intuitive cognition of the immortal Soul whose out-goings is pure reason And therefore while we converse in these mists of the body we must descend to a lower order of reason Whereas in the Mathematicks in that part thereof call'd Algebra there are some Petita that so the Quaesita may the easylier be found out So likewise in the ratiocination about apparent Phaenomena's there is a necessity of laying down some Petita which ought to be few yet fruitful principles which are indemonstrable à priori to which all apparencies are ultimately reducible and by which the Quaesita things inquired after may be found out These pregnant Principles ought to be grounded on solid experiments towards which the Virtuosi are performing a considerable work in gathering experiments of all sorts out of which in tract of time a noble demonstrative Science may be raised up Now That sense and motion are the product and sequel of Life and not the Life it self nor cause thereof the Life only should as I apprehend be that one primary Principle to which all the Phaenomena's or apparencies thereof are reducible which being simple and simple in it self hath all fermentations digestions motions sense and heat c. as subservient thereunto All which as instruments perform the various functions thereof Now that sense and motion are but the sequel of the Anima sensitiva that Regent Spirit unto which the whole oeconomy of the body is subservient is obvious in a Paralytick and Apoplectick Distemper where sometimes sense remains and motion is deprav'd otherwhiles there is motion and no sense and yet Life is present yea sometimes in Hysterical Diseases both sense and motion are abolisht for a season and the body lieth as dead and yet Life lying as it were in its embers or in a crude smoak by a Ray from the immortal which hath wrapt up the mortal Soul darting from the heart becomes inkindled takes flame and lives again to the astonishment of the beholders Yea sense and motion in violent Hysterical Passions hath been so much deprav'd as able Physicians have sometimes given them over for dead insomuch that a great Physician and skilful Anatomist coming to a Woman who was suppos'd to be dead and being desirous to inform himself of the cause of so suddain a death attempts to Anatomize her who upon the very first touch of his dissecting knife suddainly started up which so terrified this Master of Anatomy that he could scarce recover-himself to consider how after all his skill and diligence in that Art he should be so deceived as to offer at the dissecting of a living woman which struck him with discontent and taking it to heart despaired and died And as sense and motion so also fermentation and heat also chusing and eschewing that which is agreeable and disagreeable are the products of Life Whence also to raise a structure of reason why some things work by Vomit other things by Purge though it may be plausible to some yet wilk not be satisfactory to others That three or four Grains of Mercurius vitae should work so strongly by Vomit and as many Grains of the extract of Colocynthis should work so forcibly by Stool cannot rationally be imputed to any other efficient but that Spiritus impetum faclens of Hippoorates upon which these violent Emeticks and Catharticks seizing by the disgust the Archous or Anima sensitiva takes at that which is hostile thereto which yet how to describe we cannot tell rouzeth up a spurious fermentation of the humours of the stomach and Intestines which if strong works up by Vomit as is apparent in the administring of the infusion of Crocus Metallorum viz. That while the Regent Spirit of the Stomach is most provoked by the force of the Emetick it causeth such an hostile fermentation which reacheth even to the bottom and round the sides of the stomach till it forceth up the Emetick Wine and with it the humours into which it as a ferment hath wrought it self and so nature disburdens it self of two Enemies at once after the violence of this emetick fermentation is over that which remains gliding through the Pylorus into the Intestines doth there cause a further fermentation in the juyces therein contained and so passeth off by siedge Now all Solutives operate one of these three ways either as they are absterswes which raze off the sordes from the sides of the primary vessels of which sort are all abstersive Salts such as have a saponary Alkali wash off the adherent sordes and these are the essential Salt of Tartar and sometimes the volatile Salts of Urine or Harts-horn as also the Elixir Proprietatis acuated or extracted with the Solution of the essential Salt of Tartar in the alcool of Spirit of Wine and chiefly the volatile Spirit of Salt of Tartar Or secondly Solutives operate as they remind the digestions of their offices of which sort are Pilulae Ruffi Pilulae Aloephanginae the Scotch Pills c. taken in a small Dose which though they are not properly such Solutives yet are pretty innocent Succedavea's but above all the Arcanum Corallinum of Helmont is one of the true Solutives which only puts the digestions in mind of their office and as Helmont saith only Purgeth what is corrupt in the body not purging at all a sound body Or lastly Solutives operate by exciting an exotick fermentation in the humours or fluids of the first vessels and circumjacent parts and that either by the virulency of some Vegetables seated in the resinous parts thereof as of Scamony Colocynthis Jalap Agarick Elebor c. or by the odour of the Arsenical Sulphur in Minerals promoted by the operation of Salts as of Mercurius vitae Crocui Metallorum Sulphur Antimonii auratum c. All which become fermental in their operation and if the Dose and strength of the Patient be not duely proportion'd by the skill of the Physician they become too fermental not only carrying off all good and bad humours from the stomach and other common passages but also by an Hypercatharsis colliquate the very blood yea and solid parts too into a putrilaginous excrement carryed away by Stool Hence it is that by the fermental venom of these Drugs badly prepared and as unskilfully administred that incredible number of Vomits and Stools or only of Stools happen sometimes to Patients giving them Thirty Forty Fifty or Sixty Stools even almost to an exhausting of the very strength of the body which is done by an impressing the almost indeleble venenous Character of the virulent Drug upon the Pylorus which at first working forth all the contained humours of the first passages and still retaining the same fermental impression to which as a virulent
