right, Starting, and Scrieching. The Palencfsis caufed; forthat the Blood | 
runneth inward to fuccor the Heatt. The Trembling is cauled, for thar} 
through the flight of the Spirits inward,the outward parts are deftirured.and 
not fuftained, Standing upright of the Hair is caufed, for that by fhutting | 
of the Pores of theSkin, the Hair thatlyeth afloap muftneeds rife. Starting | 
is both an apprehenfion of the thing feared, (and in that kinde itis a motion | 
of fhrinking;) and likewife an Inquifition in the beginning what the matter | 
fhould be, (and in that kinde it is a motion of Ereétion ;) and therefore | 
when a Man would liften fuddenly to any thing, he ftarteths for thé ftart- | 
ing isan Ere@ion of the Spirits to attend. Serieching is an appetite of ex- | 
pelling that which fuddenly ftriketh the Spirits. For ic muft be noted, that } 
many Motions, though they be unprofitable to expel that which hurreth, | 
yet they are Offers of Nature, and caufe Motions by Confent ; asin Groan- |

ing, Tears, D,ftorting of the Face, Grinding of the Teeth, Sweating. Sighing be 
is caufed by the drawing in of a-greater quantity of Breath rorefrefh the | 
Heart thatlaboreth; like a great draught when oneis thirfty. Sobbing is | 
the fame thing ftronger. Groaning, and Screaming, and Roaring, are caufed | 
by an appetite of Expulfion, as hath been faid 5 for when the Spirits cannot 
expelthe thing that hurteth in their firife to do it, by Motion of Confent | 
they expel the Voice. And this is when the Spirits yield, andgive over to} 
refift; forif one do conftantly refift Pain, he will not groan. Tears arecaufed | 
by a Contraétion of the Spiritsof the Brain; which €ontraétion by confe- | 
quence aftringeth the Moifture of the Brain, and thereby fendeth Tears into | 
the Eyes. And thisContraétion or Compreffion cauteth alfo Wringing of 4 
the Hands; for Wringingis a Gefture of Expreffion of Moifture. The Dif | 
torting of the Face is cauted by a Contention, fir, to bear and refift,and then

of the Teeth is caufed (likewife) by a Gathering and Serring of the Spirits | 
together to refift ; “ which maketh the Teeth alfo to fet hard one again(t an- |

more lively and ftitrring. We know it hath been feen, that Exceffive fud> |

they could not retire again. As for Tears, they arethe effe&ts of Compref- |_|
