offences, or hinderances of breathing in generall, are these
fifteen following. first, that difficulty of breathing
is occasioned, by the in temperature, or corruption of the
lungs, secondly by the narrowness, or straightness of the
brest, whereby the lungs and midriff cannot freely moove
thirdly by the want [of the ..... ]of the animall spirits
as in the apoplexye, and other cold and soporiferous affects
and in those that are neer death. fourthly through the
hurt or imperfection of the nerves that tend to the
passing of the animall spirits from the brayne, vnto the
muscles of the brest and midriff, fiftthly by reason of
payne in the muscles of the brest, or other adiacent parts
that either administer help vnto breathing, or by theyr
grievance may hinder it. sixthly by the hinderance of
the midriffs motion, through waters, or phlegmatick
humors, or blood contaynd in the concave part of the brest
or through the obstruction or swelling of the bowells in the
paunch, or ascension of vapors [fr] and wind from the lower
parts vnto the midriff. seventhly by the vlceration, or hurt
whatsoever of the lungs, or by its groweth vnto the brest
or by the obstruction, or stoppage of its conduits, or pipes.
Eightly thorough the hurt or inflammation of the
midriff, or by the defluxion of some catarrhe vppon
it. Ninthly thorough the brusing, or other hurt of the
muscles that moove the brest. tenthly from the brusing
breaking or dislocation, of the ribs, or ^the ioynts of the
back bone, as allso the induration, of the grissly part of
the brest into a bonelike [so] hardness. Eleventhly from
the diseases or hurts of the muscles of the paunch.
twelfthly from the nose, mouth, and iawes as when
they are sore, inflamed, or swelled.

thirteenthly, ^by the hurt, or stopping of the larinx, (which is
the head of the aspera arteria) or aspera arteria it selfe
or its branches dispersed in the lungs, by watery, or phlegmatick
matter, as in dropsyes, and other cold diseases. fourteenthly
thorough the alteration, or change of the vse of breathing
which: is divers wayes occasioned, but especially and most
dangerously, when the hart leaves beating, for soe long as
the motion of the hart surceaseth, soe long is there very
litle, or no breathing at all, as in swoundings, and in
woemen) suffocation of the womb, vulgarly called the
mother: by which: as it is evident that breathing is chiefely
ordayned for the ayering and [ev] refreshing of the hart, soe
is it manifest that breathing is not a litle furthered, by
the impulsive force of the harts motion. fifteenthly, by
the fault of the ayre which: wee draw in, as when it is
too hott, too cold, to thick, impure and vaporous, and soe
vnapt alltogether, to temper the harts heate, as it should.
to these causes may allsoe be added this consideration, that
in fevers, and diverse other diseases allsoe the breathing
facultyes may be hurt, by reason of which: diversitye of causes
I suppose no [generall] ^one medecine can be soe generally
distributive, as to serve for the cure of these severall
particulers; nor hath the methode (in my reading or hearesay)
been by any one author at full sett downe, but in part,
according as the affect hath required; being derived from
one, or other internall, or externall cause. To observe therefore
vnto ^you the methode of my teachers, and not only myne, but
theyrs whosoever that owne the calling of phisitians at this
day. I will handle the [....] cureable sorts of difficulty
of breathing, as that wee call asthma, and orthopnaea,
to the first whereof your impediment of breathing (If I
mistake not) is not improperly to be resembled. Therefore
