JIE ATrutifetf BO DIES. Chap. 27. 



other people,a woman that had companion ofhina to fee a man 

 fo near like a beatt; and that had no language to call for what 

 he wjlhed or needed to have; took particular care of him ; and 

 was alwayes very follicitous to fee him furnifhed with what he 

 wanted : which made him ib apply himfelf unto her in all his 

 occurrcnts, that whenfbever he ftood in need of ought, if /he 

 were out of the way, and were gone abroad into the fields, or to 

 any other village near by, he would hunt her out prefently by 

 his fent, in fuch fort as with us thofe dogs ufeto do which are 

 taught to drau dry foor. I imagine he is yet alive to tell a bet- 

 ter ftory of himlelf then I have done; and to confirm what I 

 have here fa id of him : for I have from them who faw him but 

 few years agone, that he was an able ftrong man, and likely to

 and bear. Wherefore to conclude, it is evident both by reafon, 

 and by experience, that the objefts of our touch, our tafte, and 

 our fmell , are materiall and corporeall things, derived from 

 thedivifion of quantity, into more rare and more denfe parts; 

 and may with cafe be rcfblved into their heads and fprings fuf- 

 ficiently to content any judicious and rationall man. Who if ho 

 be curious to have further fatisfaclion in this particular^ as farre 

 as concerneth odours and favours ) may look over what Joan- 

 nes Bra v us ( that judicious, though unpolifhed Phyfitian of Sa- 

 lamanca) hath written thereof.
