As is the Serum or watry humor so is the Sweat, and Urin, * 1.1 for it cau∣seth both, and when there is little Urin there is little Sweat. And when the Serum is not carried to the habit of the body but otherwaies as by much Urin, Seege or the like, then there is a defect of Sweat. Wherefore in Diseases when Nature endea∣vors evacuation by sweat, it is hindered by other passa∣ges. Moreover it may happen by obstructions that the passage of the Serum may be so hindered that there
may be great difficulty in Sweating and Pissing: wherefore men in Dropsies piss little, and sweat with difficulty, though it be necessary for them. Also the thickness and sliminess of the serum may hinder both Pissing and Swearing, as in phlegmatick persons; and in sharp Diseases there is no sweat til the humor is con∣cocted and made thin; therefore attenuating medi∣cines do provoke Sweat, as we shewed in the defect of Pissing.
The usual cause of want of Sweating is the not drawing of the Serum to the habit of the bo∣dy, * 1.2 which is done by external heat, which being abrent, Nature cannot sweat without great Vio∣lence, especially if the pores are astringed or stopt by cold external; for only closing of the pores cannot hinder sweat except there be external cold,
The cause of want of Sweat is when the moisture de∣caieth or is turn'd another way.
The cause of want of Sweat is because the serum goes not to the habit of the body.
