T he Caufc of the Imagination that Things come upon them , is, for that the j 
Spirits Vifuall themfelues draw backe, which maketh the obiett feemc 
to come on 5 And befides , when they fee Things tnrne Round, and 
Moue, Feare maketh them thinke they comevpon them. The Caufe,; 
that they cannot fee Things & fare off, is the weaknefjeot the Spirits for 
in euery Megrim, or Vertigo, there is an Obtenebmton ioyned with a Sem¬ 
blance of Turning round 5 Which we fee alfo in the lighter Sort of swou- 
nings . The Caufe of Seeing things out of their Place , is the Refraction of the 
Spirits Vifuall ; For the Vapour is as an Vnequall Medium ; And it is, as the 
Sight of Things, out of place, in water. T he caufe of Seeing Things double , 
is, the Swift and Vnquiet Motion of the Spirits, (being Oppre fled,) to 
and fro; For, (as was faid before,) the UMotion of the Spirits Vifuall, and 
the Motion ol the Obiett, make the fame Appearances ; And for the Swift 
Motion of the obiett, we fee, that if you fillip a Lute-firing, it fheweth 
double, or Treble. 
Men are foonoxDrunke with Small Draughts , than with Great . And 
againe, wineSugred inebriateth leffe, than Wine Pure. The Caufe of the 
Former is, for that the wine defeendeth not fofaft to the Eouomeot the 
Stomach ; But maketh longer Stay in the VpperPart of the Stomach , and 
fendeth Vapours fafter to the Head ; And therefore inebriateth fooner. 
And, for the fame Reafon, Sops in wine-, (Quantitie for Quantitie,) ine¬ 
briate more, than Wine ot it felfe. The Caufe of the Latter is, for that the 
Sugar doth mfpiflate the Spirits of the wine , and maketh them not fo 
eafieto refolue into Vapour. Nay further, it is thought tobeefomeRe- 
medieagainft Inebriating, if Wine sugred be taken after wine Pure . And 
the fame Effed is wrought either by Oyle, 01 Milke, taken vpon much 
Drinking . 
T He P/e of Witte, in Drief andConfumed Bodies, is hurt full; In Moifi, 
and Full Bodies, iti sgood. The Caufe is, for that the Spirits of the 
Wined oe prey vpon the Dew, 01 Radmil Moifture , (as they terme it) of the \ 
Bodie, and lo deceiue the Animdl Spirits. But where there is Moifturcj 
Enough, or Superfluous, there Wine helpeth to difgeft, and deficcare} 
the Moj/lure. 1/. 
T He Catterpiller is one of the mod Generali of wormes , and bree- 
deth of Dew, and Leones : For we fee infinite Number of Catterpillers, j 
which breed vpon Trees, and Hedges < By which the Leaflet of the Trees , j 
or Hedges , are in great Part comfumed •, As well by their Breeding out of 
th e Leafe, as by their Feeding vpon the Leafe. They breed in the Spring 
chiefly, bccaufe then there is both Dew, and Leafe. And they breed com¬ 
monly when the Eaft-winds haue much blowne: The Caufe whereof is, 
the DrineJJe of that Wind: For to all Vinification vpon Putrtfafticn, iris 
requifitethe Matter be not too Moifi : And therefore we fee, they haue 
C^w^.fabnutthem,whichis afigneof & Slimy Drineffe : As wefeevp- j 
on the Ground, whereupon, by Dew, and Sunne, Copwebs breed all ouer. |
