the lungs are soe cooped vpp, that they have not roome enough
freely to moove in. Now the motion of the brest, depends
vppon the animall facultye, which being of a subtill spirituous
essence; cannot properly be sayd in it selfe to suffer hurt, yet
by phisitians, it is sayd to be hurt, or depraved in it selfe
when through weakeness of great evacuations, or sickness, it doth
not soe amply conduce vnto the benefitt of motion, as it should
and allsoe, when it descends not precisely vppon the muscles of
the brest and midriff, which happens, for that the brayne
(the origenall of the animall virtue) doth not according to the
necesitye of nature, communicate it vnto those parts, by reason
of some great disease in the head as apoplexye, and such like
or through some imperfection of the nerves (proceeding from
the braynes) whose office it is to convaighe this animall spiritt
or facultye, vnto the muscles of the brest, and midriff.
Moreover, the facultye of the brest is sayd to be hindered by
accident, when as the same faculty (by the due assistance of the
animall spirits) is in perfect force, and yet cannot execute its
necessarye function, being hindered from extending, or stretching
the brest to the full scope of natures ^bounds appointed, by reason of
paynes in the neck, sides, midriff, belly, and bowels, or by any
bruse, hurt or inflammation in any of these, and by the
obstruction, or swelling of the liver, or spleen, as allsoe,
by reason of water, phleame, or blood impacting the concave
part of the brest, and soe straightening it, and likewise
allsoe by vapors, and wind abounding in the paunch, and
rising vnto the midriff, which not only oppress motion, and
soe cause difficulty of breathing, but many times soe puffe
vpp those parts and soe incroach further, that there is
danger of suffocation. According to Hypocrates, Galen,
Avicex, Celsus, and others of later ages, as Fernelius
