anima mechanicas leges corporum turbante expluari potest
quoniam omnibus animae perceptionibus et intentionibus, corporea
figurae motionesque respondent, ex quibus essectus in machina sequun
tar, quos proinde actuationi animae ratione quadam plus quam Me
chanica influentis, tribuere nihil necesse est. Luemadmodum etiam
aliunde constat, fieri omnino non porse, ut talia ab anima praestentur
nisi animam ipsam pro corpore tenui habennus. Utilis interim haec
aminae pathematum consideratio est, quia ex us cognosiere possu
mus multa quae in corpore fiunt, Cum anima nobis sit corpore
notior; et efficere etiam multa, quae in corpore producere volumus.
Nam affectibus et excitatis aut sopitis per causas morales, in anima
effectus physicos per causas physicas respondentes in corpore obtinere
luet. Htaque non raro praxis assertionis stare potest, etsi theoria vacil
let. Quod etiam de multis aliorum Medicorum doctrinis deui potest.
Nam praxis phaenomenis inaedificari debet; theoriae non rare hypo
thesibus et conjecturis constant.
(7) Non putem omnia animi pathemata inordinatam et erconeam in
tentionem continere, etsi saesse noceant, dum animum à cogitationi
bus majoris momenti avertunt. Luin potius necessarios affectus
censeo, artisque este, illis tanquam stimulis ati ad bona, tum morali
tum etiam physico sensu; physico inguam, ut fecit ille medicus,
qui ad obtinendam laxantium efficaciam languentem patientis sui
hominis admodum stoici, bilem excitare tentavit, id diu frustra
agens, ut domesticorum pecatis ad iram commoveretur. Febres
interdum terrore pulsas constat, sed raro juvat, plerumque nocet
terror, quod maxime in peste patet.
3) Nescio an injuriam fecerim autori, quod ejus sententiam,
qualis illa est de causa sphaceli in homine ob inordinatos ho
minum affectus; conjecturam appellavi. Certe nuda narratio
