Apoplexy and Security. Disease 15.
Apoplexie and Securitie. Disease 15.
The Apoplexy is a disease, wherein the fountain & original of all the sinews being affected, every part of the body loseth both moving & sense; all voluntary functions hindered, as the wheels of a clock when the poise is down. To this I liken Security, which though it be not sudden to the soul, as the other is to the body; yet is almost as deadly. There may be some difference in the strength of opposition, or length of obsession; all similitudes run not like Coaches on four wheels: they agree in this, they ⟨p. 58⟩both lie fast a sleep; the eyes of the ones body, of the others reason shut, and they are both within two groans of death.
