So fome perfons individ cannot abide Cheefe, chis or that Fith, or other meat or dtink ; and Authots every where 37" obferve {undry fympachies and Antipathies of fundry Crearures individual. Thefe Proper r cies ( fince they are noc common to che whol kind, but proper co fome Individuals’) do pos arife from che {pecifical form, nor do they belong to the Effential faculties which flow imme. diately from the Form, and like che Form it {elf are immutable and incapable of degrees fuch as isin Man the Faculry of Reafoning, Laughing, Seeing, Hearing, &c. ’ But ro Natural Powers and Impotencies they are to be referred which flow from a peculiar difpofition of the Body, ors parts, Which difpoficion fince it is not effential to a Man, but varioufly muta- ble,a Natural Power, and a Natural Impotency, may be changed one jnto another: for examples fake, Ic isthe Property of a Man among other things, to defire, digeft, and be a= ble co curn meats good for bis Body intonourifhment.

cucion; thofe occule Qualities depénd not upon diftemper, or any Organink Difeafe, or of Solution of Unity, but upon an hidden an unexplicable difpofition, Indeed fora Man not co be able ro defire co eat, nor Co concoct his meat, may proceed from a manifeft diftem- per of che ftomach : but thar he who can eatand digeft a! other meats, only fhould not en- dure Cheete, or Bread, or-this or chat fore of Flefh or Fifh; this comes meerly from an QOc- cule Q: ality. Now chefe difpoficions are fomtimes born with the party, and fomtimes chey happen afrerwards. Ofchofe which are born with che Party, fome are Hereditary, which being before in che Parents, are derived inco the Child with che Principles themfelves of Generation: but others, though they were notin the Parents, yet are Chey imprinted on the Child by che imaginanop of che Mother; whence ic comes to pafs that Children cannoe endure {uch meats as either their Mothers loathed when they were with Child, or which they longed for, and could not obtain. After Birch they are fomtimes caufed by loathing of {ome meat too. often and too plentifully eacen. In which cafe che power of the Imagination commonly bears the greateft way, of which [have treated in my Book of the Confent and Diffent of the Chymifts and Galenifts, @c. chap. 14
The third kind of Occult Qualisies is of things which do not live, bue have neverche- lefs their {pecifick Forms, differing from the Forms of the Elements. So, by Reafon of its Snecifick Form the Load-ftone’éraws Iron. Andthe feveral precious Stones, as alfo Metals
poe and Minerals, have their Occult Properties and Faculties, whtch flow from cheir Specifick 2 Forass which Specifick Forms neverchelefs (as al others) do lie concealed from the know-

Occult walities of dead things.
whence they pro- ceed,
ledg of Man. Re Fourthly, There are Occult Proprieties in Natural chings which have formerly lived but
now do notliveany more. Suchas are every where co be feen’in Plants and Animals, which we ule inftead of Phyfick. For we ufe not ordinarily living Plants or Animals, but only {uchasaredead. So we ufedried Toads to draw out Poyfon: the afhes of River-crabs or Gray-fith cures the biting of amad Dog: the Horns and Hoof of an Elk are good againft the Falling: ficknefs : Hacts-horn and the Bone taken out of an Hares Hearr, are uled againft Poyfons: Mans Skul cures the Falling: ficknefs: Rhubarb, Agarick, Mechoacan, white and black Hellebore, and other Plants, have a purging faculty : Peony Roots are good againft che Falling-ficknefs: Scordiumt is good againft Poyfon: and chere are very many morerare Vertues of Plants. Andcothis Tribe ina word belong the Vertues and Hidden Properties which are fought for in Plants and Animals after they are dead.
Now certain itis, That chefe Occult Properties do not flow immediately from the Soul and Specifick Form of Animals or Plants; fince the Soul is no longer in thofe Medicaments. Nor can chey proceed from rhe Mixcure of the Elements fimply, ahd the cemper of the firft Qualities; fince their ations are of a quite different kind from chem, and above the activi- ties, nor are they directed by the Soul, as being no longer prefent. And fince every Quali- cy pre-fuppofesa Form, chefe Qualities muft alfo of neceflicy flow from, and depend on Come Form. Now chat canbe no other than that which was before the fubject of che more noble perfect and {pecifick Form, after its manner, andas far as belonged thereco.: I fay, af= ter its manner, left any fhould have occaftonto quarrel. For that Form with its macter does not quice makeup the ulcimate fubje@t, which 1s corrupted with the Form it felf, or at Jealk does not conftituce a perfect Organs fince in Animals chere is alfo required an influenc Hear, and in Plants f{omwhat which holds proportion thereto. For feeinp the more noble Form requires the more noble Matter, and as Forms differ in nobilicy or bafenefs, fo alfa thofe marcets differ, and are proper co feveral forts and forms of things : the difference and diverfiry of thofe matters cannot come but from different Forms which confticute the pro- per fubject of every Specifick Form, Which Forms (truly ) confidered by chemfelves are al» fo.tcue Forms, which do inform their Matters 3 but in retpect of the Soul and Specifick Form they have the Nature of an immediate matter ; and fo one thing does not fubfift by two fubftancial aéts, buteach hath one Specifick Form. Now when the Specifick Form goes away, thefe Forms remain a while after, and perform che Office of Forms, and are the ‘Authors of thofe Faculties which are found in many things after they are dead, but fuch as ’cis impoflible they fhould proceed from the Qualities or Forms of the Ele-
ments.
whence Now what che Original of thefe Forms fhould be, isa Queftion hard enough, and few ebe fubor* have enquired thereintco. And becaufe have {poke largely thereof im may Inftitutions of
rlinate Ferms proceed.

proper to every Species; and chag for cwo intents: Firft chat the {pecifick Forms mighe The end have fubjects wherein co be, fubfift, and perform thei actions. Secondly, That when che of thofe Soul or Specifick Form is gone, they might be ufeful co Manas Food or Phyfick. And as Forms. thofe Specifick Forms are muluplied and propagated ; fo alfo thefe fubordinate Forms are propagated. Ocatleaft (which I feeis che Opinion of fome oihers) che Souls of living
things have an ability co produce fuch Forms as are neceffary to conftituce cheir fubject place
or Manfion-houfe, which alfo may remain when they are gone.
And forafmuch as every Form requices its Subject and adequate Maccer with which 1€ Itsy The fub- and perifhes therewith, ic is worth our Labor co enquire of che Subject of thefe Forms. Now se of this in Planes and Animals feems co be no other than chat f{ameamplanced Spitic and Radical bhtfe Moifture which joyncly arecalled commonly Native Heat, and by late Writers Cefpecially * eth Chym@fts) Natural Balfam. For Experience it felf ceaches, That Plants and che parts of Animals, fo Jong as they retain that Balfamick Subftance, do preferve their vertues entire buc as {oon as chey Jofe the fame, and become cotren or purrefied, they lofe alfo cheir vercues, fo thac the remaining Body becomes unprofitable. Whichthe Operations of Chymifts and Apothecaries do fhew. For if by boyling or ftceping that pact of the fubftance be fe. parated and extracted, wherein istbe Purpacive Faculty, an ufeful Medicament 3s made 5 and the remaining Body becomes quite ineffectual. a
Fiftly, There are occule or hidden Qualities in fuch things as are Naturally bred in Planes oceygp and Animals; fuchas are the Poy{on ot a Scorpion, an Afp, an Adder, the Spider Tarantu- quatities Ja, and other venemous Beafts ; Bezoar ftone, Musk, Civer, Caftoreum, and whatever other # things things chere are of like kind Naturally bred in Animals, Hither areco be referred the juy- 72 ae ces of Plants, their Tearsand Gums, as Aloes, Scammony, Elaterium, Euphorbium, Gam- hae bugia, Opium, juyce of Hemlock, and many more of thiskind, All which though they are pjgnts cy to Men in place of Medicament or Poyfon, yet are they Natural and kindly co their refpe- Animals. ctive Plants and Animals. Now al fuch Qualities and their effects do not proceed imme- diately from the Soul or Specifick Form of thofe living things, buc from cheir own proper Form ; fince being feparaced from che living things, chey have neverchelefs cheir effects and operations. Now whence thefe Forms proceed, chough ic is not very eafieto declare; yet ig feems moft fafetohold, That chofe things receive the faid Forms from their own Souls, and chac chofe Forms are fome way included in the Souls,or at Jeaft proceed from them. For as the foul hath a power comake Chyle, to make bones, and co make skin; even fo other Juyces ace produced in other living things, as Oylin che Olive Tree, Wine inthe Vine; and afcer the fame manner thofe Medicinal and venemous juyces aforefaid ace produced by the Soul proper tothe tefpective kind. And as Wine though no longer animated with the Soul of che Vine, yet recains many yeers chat fame form which ic received from the Vine as a Body Natural; fo chejuyces lately mentioned do long retain their Forms and Ver- cues entice; yea, and chey have {ome affinity to, and correfpondence (asit were) withthe forms of chat kind, and perform motions an{werable to their motions. Whence itis that Wine in the Hogshead is wont to work when the Vines do bloffom, For che reafon of all fuch things lies concealed in che feed; becaufe (as Arzffotle, 5.de Gen.anim. cap. 7. faies) Principles of chings though {mal in Bulk, yet are exceeding great in faculcy and powe7, which is efpecially true of the feed 5 and what Seneca faid excellently, Lib.3. queft.nat. cap. 29. concerning Man, ts true of al other living things. Inchefeed (laies he) 7 contained all the Nature of the future man; the Infantnot born bath iuit the Principles of abeard, and of Gray Hatrs.
In the fixe place, are malignant Humors and Poyfons, which are preternaturally bred in Occult the bodies of Animals,and do al operate by hidden Qualities. Such are chofe Humors whence 2#é/ities the Falling-ficknefs, Mocher-fits, Malignanc Dyfenteries, Malignanc and peftilential Feavers, “/ éfines yea,the Plapue ic felf,che Scutvy,che Leprofie,are generaced; alfo the poyfon of a Mad Dog. i: ae Of the Generation whereof we have treated in our fit Book of Prattice, part the fecond.
