And it is notto be wondred at, that the parc chus affeéted fhould have no fenfe, or char chere fhould be fo little, afany fenfe at al,ina Scirrbys ; for both the influx of che na- tural {pirits is hindered by the matter that is ampa- cted and faft fixed ; and alfo the very Cempec ic felf of the Member is fochanged chat the parc be- cometh altogether frupid;: .Ochers chere are that add ocherfipns alfo 5: viz..a- Color fomwharblack and wan; which yet notwithftanding.is only a fign of chac Scirrbys that arifeth from the Melan- chely Humor ; ‘and if che temper be-very cold, by reafon of a thick and cold Humor, 1t.isthenlike- wife perceived by the couch..
