\ Body it felfe,rejected.thdm; Much more the Spirits: And we fee, that 
1 thofe Excrements , that are of the Firfl D igeftiou, Smell the jvorrt • As the 
J Excrements from the Belly: Thofe that are from the Second Digefiion, leffc 
ill; As Trine * And thofe that are from the Third, vet lefle, For sweat 
is not fo bad, as the other two. Efpeciallyof fome Perfons , that are full 
of Heat. Likewife molt Putrifactions arc of an Odious smell: For they 
fmell either Fetide, or Mouldy. The Caufe may be, for that Putrifaction 
i doth bring forth fuch a Confidence, as is molt Contrary to the Confidence 
\ of the Body , whillt it is Sound: For it is a meerc diilblufion of that Forme . 
| Bchdes, there is another Reafon which is Profound: And it is that the 
0£/<rtf/thatpIeafe any of the Scn/es, haue (all) fome Equality, and (as it 
were) Order , in their Cempfiption: But where thofe are wanting, the ob¬ 
ject is cuer Ingratc. So Mixiture of many Difagreeing Colours is eucrvn- 
plcafant to the Eye : Mixture of Difcordant Sounds is vnpleafant to the 
Rare : Mixture, or Hatch- Potch of many T'afies, isvnpleafaht to the Tafie: 
HarfhneJJe ax)i\Ruggedneffeo!i Bodies, is vnpleafant to the Touch: Nowit 
iscertaine, that all Putnfaction, being a Dijjolation of the full Forme, is a 
meere Confufien, and Vnformed Mixture of the Part. NeuertheJeffcit is 
llrange, and feemeth to Crolfe the former Obferunion, that fome Pu- 
trifaftions and Excrements doe yceld Excellent Odours ; As Citiet and 
Muskeg And as fome thinkc Amber-Greece: For diners rake it, (though 
vnprobably) to come from the Sperms o£ Fifls: And the Moffewc fpake 
of from Apple-Trees, is little betrer than an Excretion. The Reafon may 
be, for that there pa doth in the Excrements, and remaineth in the Putri- 
factions, fome good Spirits ; cfpecially where they proceed from Crea¬ 
tures, that are very Hot. But it tnay be alfo ioyned with a further Caufe, 
which is more-Sub till* And it is, that the Senfes loue not to bee Oucr- 
pleafed ; But to haue a Commixture of fomewhat that i% in it felfe In¬ 
grate. Certain! v,vve fee how Difiords inMuficke , falling vpon Concords, 
make the Swcetefi Straincs: And we fee againe, what Strange T afies de¬ 
light the Tafie • As Re^-Herrings, Cauearj, Parmi'fsn, Sec. And it may be, 
the fame holdeth in Smels. For thofe kindc of Smels , that we haue men¬ 
tioned, are all Strong, and doe Pull and Vellicatc the Senfe. And wee 
finde alfo, that places where Men ferine, commonly haue fome Sme& of 
riolets: And Trine, if one hath eaten Nutmeg, hath fo too.
