The Female Physician: Containing all the diseases incident to that sex, in virgins, wives, and widows; together with their causes and symptoms, their degrees of danger, and respective methods of prevention and cure: to which is added, the whole art of new improv'd midwifery; comprehending the necessary qualifications of a midwife, and particular directions for laying women, in all cases of difficult and preternatural births; together with the diet and regimen of both the mother and child.

Midwifery -- Early works to 1800; Obstetrics -- Early works to 1800
ACCORDING to the _three-fold Order_ of its Faculties there are _three
APPETITES_ in the SOUL. The _first_ is _natural_, which is an
Inclination of Nature unto its End. The _second_ is _Animal_, which is
divided into _irascible_ and _concupiscible_, relating to _Anger_ and
_Desire_. The _third_ is _intellective_, and is call’d the WILL; which
(from its own deprav’d Quality) is affected with _four PASSIONS_, as the
_Body_ sometimes also is. The _first_ is called _Oblectation_; the
_second_, _Effusion_; the _third_, _Ostentation_; the _fourth_, and
last, is what we commonly call ENVY. And
THESE _four PASSIONS_ arising from a deprav’d _APPETITE_ of _Pleasure_;
its _Grief_ or _Perplexity_ doth occasion as many contrary _PASSIONS_:
viz. _Horror_, _Sadness_, _Fear_, and _Sorrow_ at another’s _Good_,
without its own _Hurt_; which is call’d ENVY, being a _Sadness_ at
another’s _Prosperity_, as _Pity_ is a certain kind of _Sadness_ at
another’s _Misery_ or _Adversity_.
BUT not to insist on these _Topicks_, I shall only add a few Words upon
the _PASSIONS of the Mind_; which are nothing else than certain
_Motions_ or _Inclinations_, proceeding from the _Apprehension_ of any
Thing, as of _Good_ or _Evil_, &c.
THESE APPREHENSIONS are of three different Sorts, _viz._ _Sensual_,
_Rational_, and _Intellectual_. And according to _them_, there are
_three_ Sorts of PASSIONS in the _Soul_; the _first_, following the
_sensual_ APPREHENSION, respects a temporal _Good_ or _Evil_, under the
Notion of _Profit_ or _Loss_, _Defence_ or _Offence_, &c: and they are
called _Natural_ or _Animal Passions_.
THE _second_ following the _Rational_ APPREHENSION, respects _Good_ or
_Bad_, under the Notion of _Virtue_ or _Vice_, _Praise_ or _Disgrace_,
&c: and they are called _Rational_ or _Voluntary Passions_.
THE _third_, following the _Intellectual_ APPREHENSION, respects _Good_
or _Evil_, under the Notion of _Truth_ or _Falsehood_, _Justice_ or
_Injustice_, &c: and this Sort is call’d _Intellectual Passions_.
BUT these _three_ different Sorts proceed all from the _Energy_ of the
SOUL; which is divided into _Concupiscible_ and _Irascible_, both
respecting _Good_ and _Evil_, tho’ under different Notions: which
Division affords us _eleven_ PASSIONS of the Mind, _viz._ _Love_,
_Hatred_, _Desire_, _Horror_, _Joy_, _Grief_, _Hope_, _Despair_,
_Boldness_, _Fear_, and _Anger_; all which might be particularly
defin’d: But as _that_ is more the _Philosopher_’s than the
_Physician_’s Business, I shall proceed to that which is more strictly
my _Province_.
