Yet Physitians take not this name so generally; But by Symptome understand something different from a Dis∣ease, and a cause of a Disease,; and so a Symptome is an affect, or accident contrary to nature in those things which are necessa∣ry to perform natural actions, without the constitution of the parts, some other thing contrary to nature following:
* 1.2 or 'tis an accident different from natural, and changing the natural con∣stitution

of the body, which to perform natural actions, is no necessary; whether the action it selfe be hindered, or some acci∣dent contrary to nature in the humours and excrements, or e∣ven in the living parts, so that it hinder not their actions; for a Symptome may consist even in the living parts. For example heat caused by a Bath, or exercise, so that there be not any effect which can hinder action.
