Sweat. Again, Sweat commeth more plentifully , if the Heat be increafed 

 yfptgrees, than if it be greatcft at firft, or equal. The Caufe is/or that the 

 Fores luc better opened by a Gentle Heat , than by a more ^'o/rvzf ; And by 

 "their opening the Sweat jflueth more abundantly. And therefore Phyficians 

 may do wel),when they provoke Sweat in Bed, by Bottles-, with a DecoBwnoi 

 Sudori ft ck Herbs, m Hot Water ^ to make two Degrees of in the Bottles 5 

 And to lay in the Bed , the lef Heated firft , and after half an Hour the 

 more Heated. 



Saeatis ^/finTaflc^the Caufeis, for that, that F^rfofthe Nourifhment, 

 which is Fj^/ib and S;m>£,turneth into Bloud and Flefh;Ar\d the Si«& is oncly 

 that P^yf, which is Separate, and Excerned. Bloud alfo Raw, hath fome 

 hef , more than F/^ ; becaufe the Afiimilation into Flejb , is not without a 

 little and fubtile Excretion from the F/<W. 



■SW/tf commeth forth more out of the Upper Parts of the Body, than the 

 Lower-, TheReafonis, becaufe thofe Parts are more replcnifhed withSpi- 

 rits- 3 And the Spirits are they that put forth Sweat: Befides, they arelefs 

 Flejhy&nd Sweat ifl'ueth (chiefly) out of the P^mthat arelefs Flefhy, and 

 more Dry • As the Fore-head, and Breafl. 



Men more in Sleep, than wakings And yet S7tv/> doth rather flay 

 other Fluxions - 3 than caufe them ; As Rheumes, Loofnefoi the Body,&c. The 

 Caufeis, for that in Sleep, the HVitf , and Spirits do naturally move inwards, 

 and there reft. But when they are collected once within, the Heat becom- 

 meth more Violent, and Irritate , And thereby expelleth Sweat. 



Cold Sweats are (many times) Mortal , and neer Death , And alwayes III, 

 and SufpeBed , As in Great Fears Hypochondriacal Pa/ions, Sec. The Caufe is, 

 for that Cold Sweats come by a Relaxation, or. For faking of the Spirt s, where- 

 by the Moifture of the Body, which Heat did keep firm in the Parts feve- 

 reth,andiiTueth out. 



In thofe Difeafes, which cannot be difcharged by Sweat , Sweat is ill, and 

 rather to be flayed; As in Difeaf es of the Lungs , and Fluxes ' of the Belly ; But 

 in thole Difeafes which are expelled by Sweat,n eafeth and lightneth;As in 

 Agues, Pefljlences, &c. The Caufe is,for that Sweat in the Latter Sort is part- 

 ly Critical , and fendeth forth the Matter that offendeth ; But in the 

 Former, it either proceedeth from the Labour o{ the Spirits, which fhew- 

 eth them Opprefled ; Or from Motion of Confent, when Nature not able to 

 expel the Difeafe,xvheic it is feated, moveth to an Expulfion indifferent 0- 

 ver alltheiWy. 



THe Nature of the do-worm is hitherto not well obferved. Thus much 

 we fee ; That they breed chiefly in the Hottefi Mcnethsoi Summer^And 

 that they breed not in Champaigne,but in Bufhes , and Hedges. W hereby it 

 may be conceived, thai the Spirit of them is very fine , and not to be refi- 

 ned, but by Summer H^s;Andagain,that by reafon of the Finenels,it doth 

 eafily exhale. In Italy, and the Hotter Countreys, there is a Fly they call Luc- 

 eicle, that fhineth as jhe Glo-worm doth; And it may be is the Flying-Glo- 

 worm. But that Flie is chiefly upon Fens, and Marifbes. But yet the two for- 

 mer Obferuatims hold • For they are not feen , but in the Heat of Summer- 

 And Sedge, or other Green of the Fens, give as good Shade, as Bufhes. It may 

 be the do-worms of the Cold Countries ripen not fo far as to be Winged.
