And as the fenfitive Soul is the feat and organ of the Rational^ fo 
the ill conftitiition of that (he obferves) proves oftentimes the 
diforder of the other : For the Animal /pints being /pirituo-falinei 
if they are inflamed^ they produce a 'Phrenfie ; if dcid^ Melancholy^ 
if acrou^^ like Aqua ftygia^ Madnefs ; if vapid^ Stupidity, In dif- 
courfing of which diftenipers, his /Etiologies of the various fym-^ 
ptoms^ his methods of cure ^ and forms of /jr^ycn//zo7^5, are found- 
ed upon far more rational prittciples^ than ever Greece taught us; 
And how far Antiquity^ and later ^^e^too, were miftaken in their 
notions divers other difeafes ; his evincing Hyflerical znd Hypo^ 
chondriacal affe^ions^ the Co/ic, Gout^ Scurvy^ fome fort of AJih'-

py in his labors ; but the Pharmaceutical part like wife highly im- 
proved in the Inventions of his Spiritu^ Salps Armoniacifuccinatws^ 
Syrup of Sulphur^ preparation of Steel without Acids^ and from 
thence of \{is artificial AciduU : In general, this part of Phyftck. 
has been fo far advanced by him^ that what was formerly Empiri- 
cal^ and but lucky hits, is now become moft rational, by his 
mzldngthc: operations of C ha fhartic^ Emetic^ Diaphoretic^ Cardiac*, 
and Opiat Medicines ^mit\\ig\h\t by Mechanical Explications ; having 
fub;oined to each moft neat and artificial Formula's^ as well Chy* 
jnical as others ; a Province but meanly adorned by the Ancients^ 
though of infinite ufe. And where Nature is exorbitant in any 
of thefe Evacuations^ he has like wife taught us how to check and 
reduce her ; adding for the better illuftration of the whole, a ne\# 
Anatomj of the Stomachy Inteftines^ Gula^ Veins:, and Arteries.

tional account of Thoracicznd. Epatic Medicines^ and of the Dif- 
eafes belonging to t\\o{t parts ; difcourfing alfo ofVertefeSiion^ flop- 
ping of Hemorraghies^ of Ijfues' and cutaneous Difletnpers ; In all 
which it may be obferved, what is almoft peculiar to him : that 
there is nothing /w/W, vno?c new^ and all moft ingenious. To 
which add, that the organs of Refpiration^ v^hich have been xhcfuh- 
je^ of fo many Learned Pens of late, are bcft underftood, from 
his moft elegant dtfcriptions^ and beautiful Cuts. But it is too 
difficult a task to give a juft account how far Phyfick-, Anatomy^ Chy^ 
miflry^ and Philofophy^ ftand indebted to him for tlieir Improve- 
ments.
