right ; Starting ; andScritching. The Palenefl is caufed , for that the jR/ow/ 

 runneth inward to fuccour the /favf . The Trembling is caufed , for that 

 through the Flight of the Spirits inward, the Outward Parts are deftituted, 

 and not fuftained. Standing upright of the Haire is caufed, for that by Shut- 

 ting of the Pores of the Skin, the that lieth afloape, muft needs Rife. 

 Starting is both an Apprehenfion of the Thing feared; (And, in that kind, it is 

 a Motion of Shrinking;) And likwife an Inquifition, in the beginning , what 

 the Matter fhould be; (And in that kind it is a J/0/7c# of EreBion;) And 

 therefore,when a would Men fuddenly to anyThing,he Starteth; For 

 the Starting is an Ereilion of the S/«Wtt to attend Scritching is an Appetite of 

 Expellingthat which fuddenly ftriketh the Spirits: For it muft be noted, 

 that many Motions , though they be unprofitable to expel that ^hic|i 

 hurteth, yet they are Offers of Nature, and caufe Motions by Cogent ■ As in 

 Groaning, or Crying upon iW», 1 



O/V/, and P<wz caufe Sighing ; Sobbing* Groaning; Screaming; Roa- 

 ring; Teares, Dijlorting of the Face^ Grinding of the 7>^ 5 Sweating. Sighing 

 is caufed by the Drawing in of a greater Quantity of to refrefhthe 



Heart that labour eth : like a great Draught when one is thirfty . Sobbing is 

 the fame Thing ftronger. Groaning, and Sfro&#/»g,and Roaring, are caufed 

 by an Appetite of Expulfon, as hath been faid : For when the S/>*ws cannot 

 expel the Thing that hurteth>in their Strife to do it, by Motion of Confent J 

 they expel the Voice. And this is^ when the Spirits yield , and give over to 

 refift; For if one do conftantly refift Pain , he will not groan. Teares are 

 caufed by a Contraction of the Spirits of the Brain ; Which Contraction by 

 confequence aftringeth the Moijlure of the .B?w'/z , and thereby fendeth 

 Teares into the Eyes. And this ContraBion,or CompreJ' ion caufeth alfo Wring- 

 ingofc the Hands : For Wringing is a Gejlure of Expreftion of Moijlure. The 

 Distorting of the Frfc? is cauied by a Contention, flrft, to bear and jefift, and 

 then to expel ; Which maketh the Parts knit flrft , and afterwards open. 

 Grinding of the Teeth is caufed (likewife) by a Gathering and Serrug of the 

 S/wtfs together to refift ; Which maketh the Teeth alfo to fet hard one a- 

 gainft another. Sweating is alfo a Compound Motion by the Labour of the S/v- 

 r/tt, flrft to refift, and then to expel. 



Joy caufeth a Ghearfulnef? and PJgow in the Eyes ; Singing ; Leaping 5 Dan- 

 cings And fometimes Teares. All thefe are the effects of the Dilatation, 

 and Comming forth of the Spirits into the Outward Parts; Which maketh 

 them more Lively, and Stirring. W 7 e know it hath been feen , that 

 fivefuddenjoy hath caufed PreJ'ent heathy while the ty/W/s did fprcad io 

 much, as they could not retire again. As for Tears , they are the Effects of 

 Comprefl ion of the Moijlure of the Brain, upon Dilatation of the Spirits. For 

 Comprefion of the ty/VzVs worketh an Exprefs ion of the Moijlure cf the 

 by Confent, as hath been faid in tfnVf. But then in Joy, it worketh it diverf- 

 ly, viz.by Propulf on oi the Moisture , when the ty/Ww dilate, and occupy 

 more Room. 



Anger caufeth Palenefs", in fome, and the Going and Comming of the Cdour 

 in Others : Alfo Trembling in fome ; Swelling ; Foaming at the Mouth ;Stamp- 

 ing; Bending of the Fifl. Palenefs, and Going , and Comming of the CcW, are 

 caufed by the Burning of the Spirits about the Heart; Which to refrefh 

 themfelves, call in more Spirits from the Outward Parts. And if the Palenefs 

 be alone, without Sending forth the CoW again, it is commonly joyned 

 with fome Fear ; but in many there is no Palenefs at all, but contrariwife 

 i Rednefs about the Cheeks, and Gils; Which is by the Sending forth of the
