THe Smelling is wholly abolisht, * 1.1 when it perceives no Scent at all not only of things distant, but of those applied to the Nose and taken inwardly.
But it is impaired only seeing the Smelling percei∣veth not things unless very neer to the Nose, and those which breath forth a strong smel, whether also may be referd that case, when they smel not things unless they be thrust into their mouth, which one writes hath som∣times happened, when notwithstanding otherwise the Scent of things put into the mouth, is in no wise natu∣rally perceived this way.
The Smelling is depraved seeing it judgeth the Scents of things not such as indeed they are, but falsly, * 1.2 to be o∣therwise Scented, as when it perceives those things which are otherwise indued with a grateful smel to send forth an ingrateful Scent, or when it thinks those that smel wel, do stink, which for the most part happens the Tast being depraved too, seeing the Judgment of things taken inwardly, doth partly belong to the Smelling, or when Nourishments of themselves grateful both in Sent and Tast, are often judged in Diseases, to Savour and Smell ingratefully, but either we do in no wise re∣fer those things which are truely stinking, though they offend the Smell, as neither do we refer Grief to the de∣praved Touch, seeing it doth rightly perceive that which indeed is so.
