; Mildly, there followerh Difgeflwn , or Maturation 3 As in 
fttinktSyaudFruits, If the SpiriW\bee not -merrily Defamed, 
but Protrude a little, and that Motion beCohfulcd, and I nor 
I dilute, there folio wcthlPutrefattioh 3 Which cucr dijffolueth 
the Confidence of the Body into much Inequality * As in

' .if jthc Spirits-iffac out of the Body* there followcth Deficcati¬

The M-eanes to Endnce and Accelerate Putrefa&itin, are} Firft by Ad- ^ 2.9 
ding fame Crude ortvatry Moifture 3 As inWetting of any F'efh, FrUit, j 
Wood, with water 1 See. For contrariwife Fnffuotisand Oily Subfiances j 
preferue. 
The Second is by lnuitation or Excitation 3 As when a Rotten Apple 
lyeth clofe to another Apple , that is So'Und: Or when Dung ( Which is a 
Subftance already Putrified ) is addedjtp other Botfies. And this is al¬ 
io notably feene in Churchyards , Where they bury much • Where the 
Earth will confume the Corps , in farre fhorter time, than other Eafth 
will. 
The Third is, by ClofeneJJe, and Stopping,w\iich detainetb the Spirits, 
in Prifion, more than they would} Ana thereby irritateth tbenh to feeke

The Fifth is, either by the Exhaling, or by the Driuing backs of the 
principall Spirits, which preferue the Gohli hence of the BodyfSo that
