lowifh water in it, having made a roundifh cavity, imprefifedin 
that kidney : whence fome thought it came, that a little before 
his death a fuppreffionof Vrinehad befallen him 5 though others 
were of opinion, that his Vrin was fuppreffed upon the regurgi- 
tation of all the Serofity into the Lungs. Not the leaft appea- 
rance there was of any Stony matter either in the Kidneys or 
Bladder. His Bowels were al(b found, a little whitifh without. 
His Spleen very little, hardly equalling thebignefs of one Sid- 
ney. In fhoit, all his inward parts appeared fo healthy, that 
if he had not changed his Dyct and Air, he might perhaps have 
lived a good while longer. 
3. The Caufe of his death was imputed chiefly to the change 
of food and Air $ forafmuch as coming out of a clear, thin, and 
free Air, he came into the thick Air of London, and after a con- 
ftant, plain, and homely Country-diet, he was taken into a fplen- 
did Family, where he fed high, and drunk plentifully of the 
beft wines, whereupon the natural fun&ions of the parts of his 
body were over-charged, his Lungs obftru&ed, and the habit 
of the whole Body quite diforder'd 5 upon which there could not 
but foon enfue a diffolution. 
4. His Brain was found entire and ferme : And though he 
had not the ufe of his Eyes, nor much of his Memory, feveral 
years before he died 5 yet he had his Hearing and Apprehenflon 
veiy well 3 and was able even to the hundred and thirtieth year of 
his Age to do any Husbandmans work,even Thrcfliing of Corn.
