in a Deepe Well ; or in a Conferuatory of snow, where che Cold maybe 
more Conftringent 5 And 16 make the Body more vnited, and thereby 
more Refplendent. 
M Ens Bodies arc heather, and lelfe difpofed to Motion, when Stw- 
therne winds blow, than when Nor theme. The Caufe is, for that 
when the Southerns winds blow, the Humours doe ( in lome Degree ) 
melt and wax fhiide, and fo flow into the Parts • As it is feene in Wood, 
and other Bodies • which, when the Sontherne winds blow,doe fwell.Be- 
lideSjthe Motion and Aft iuity of the Body conlifteth chiefly in the Si- 
newes,which, when the Southerne wind bloweth,are more relax. 
I T is commonly feene, that more are Sicke in the Summer , and more 
Dye in the winter • Except it be in Pejlilent Difeafes,which common¬ 
ly reigne in Summer , or Autumne. The Reafon is, becaule Difeafes are 
bred(indeed)chiefely by Heat-, But then they are Cured moft by Sweat, 
and Purge-, which in the Summer commeth on, or is prouoked, more 
Ealily : As for Pejlilent Difeafes, the Reafon why moft Die of them in 
Summer, is becaule they are bred moft in the Summer • For otherwife 
thofe that are touched are in moft Danger in th e winter. 
T He Generali Opinion is,that Teares Hot and M^are moft Pefti- 
lent - Vpon the Superficial! Ground,that Heat and Moijlure caufe 
Putrefaction. In England it is found not true • For, many times, there 
haue beene great Plagues in Drie Teares. Whereof the Caufe may be, 
for that Drought in the Bodies of Ijlanders, habituate to Moift Aires, 
doth Exafperate the Humours,and maketh them more apt to Putrifie, 
or Enflame: Befides, it tainteth the waters ( commonly, ) and maketh 
them lelfe wholefome. And againe in Barbary, the Plagues breake vp in 
the Summer-mo neths, when the weather is Hot and Dry, 
M Any Difeafes, ( both Epidemic all, and others ,)breake forth at Par¬ 
ticular times. And the Caufe is falfly imputed to the Conjlitution of 
the Aire, at that time, when they breake forth, or reigne ; whereas it pro¬ 
ceeded! (indeed) from a Precedent Sequence, and Series of the Seafons of 
the Teare: And therefore Hippocrates, in his P regno flicks,doth make good 
Obferuations,of the Difeafes, that enfue vpon the Nature , of the Prece¬ 
dent foure Seafons of the Teare.- 
T Riall hath been made,with Earthen Bottles well ftoppcd,hanged in

tles haue beene let downe into the Water, fome others haue hanged a 
boue, within about a fathome of the water , And the Liquors fo tried 
haue beene, Beere,{ not New, but Ready for drinking,) and wine, and 
Milke. The Proofe hath beene, that both the Beere, and the wine, ( as
