These functions are also depraued in too much wakefulnesse through the commotion of the animall spirits, also in dreames, where somtimes besides the deprauation of the fantasie they wil walke, talke, laugh, crye, &c. And lastly in that disease which is called [41]_Saltus Sa^{ti} viti_, or _Saltuosa dispositio membrorum_ wherein they will daunce, and leape, and cannot endure to be quiet. [41] _Saltus viti. F. Platerus de mentis alienatione. pag. 103_ This deprauation of the internall sences, is so ordinary in the fits of the Mother, as _Horatius Augenius Epistola_. 6. seemes to make it of the essence of this disease, that the imagination is ever depraued in it. But [42]_Hyppocrates_, _Galen_, _Auicen_, and most of the best Authors in our profession, do affirme that very often there happeneth an alienation of the minde in this disease, whereby sometimes they will waxe furious and raging depriued of their right iudgement and of rest. [42] _Hippoccrat. de morbis virg. præ acutæ inflamatione infamis præ putredione clamat, &c De morbis muliebr. lib. 1. mente alienatur in hoc morbo et deliria fiunt furiousa dentibus frendet vigilabit anxia erit &c. Avicen loco citato facit accidere alienationem per communitatem cerebri, &c. Ætius garrula inquieta & iracunda fiunt. lib. 16. 7. 4. Hier. mercurialis morborum muliebr. lib. 4. c. 10. Iacobus Sylvius demensibus. Mathæus de grad. consilio. 806 8 c. 6 historiam narrat furiosi._ [Sidenote: _Priuatio visus Auditus. Gustus. Olfactus. Tactus._] The second function of the animall facultie is the externall sensitive function; which giueth to the eye the facultie of seeing, to the eare of hearing, to the tongue of tasting, to the nose of smelling and to diuers parts of the bodie the power of feeling. This function in all these kindes is diminished, depraued, or cleane abolished, but especially in this disease of the mother, we do obserue the offence which is done to the feeling facultie, when the parts are benummed or do not feele at all, or when they feele [43]paine and offence, or when they feele things falsely and otherwise then they are. [43] _Iuxta receptam a medicis sententiam dolorem hic insero licet videatur potius ad simpls̃ ces corporis affectus referendus._ Concerning hearing, although [44]_Hyppoc. Rhasis_ and diuers others doe obserue that sometimes it is hindred: yet it seemes to be in the former kinde where the internall facultie doe suffer. For _Mercatus_ puts it as a difference from the falling sicknes, that in this suffocation of the matrix they doe commonly heare. The priuation of the other sences of seeing, tasting, smelling and feeling, are verie ordinarie in this disease, as you may obserue in the Histories following, and in these quotations.
