of age, being much iodifpofcdj and often relapfiog into a di- 
fteroper accompanied with vomiting and purging^ hisPhyfi- 
tiaOj when I had the opportunity of freaking with him about 
it, told me, that he was perfuaded, that his cure was ob- 
ftrufted by the Patient's being obliged to ftudy : For when 
by the help of the medicines, prefcribed to and ufed by him, 
he was brought to a confiderable degree of recovery \ his 
ftudying and preaching made him conftantly relapfe. This 
appearing tome fome-what ftraoge, that ftudy and difcour- 
fing fliould caft a man into fuch violent diftempers, and the 
reafons, given by the Doftor for it, not prevailing with m^
