But on the other fide, the Midriff in Exfpiration hath a Diafiole, a's freed from Motion by the relaxation of its Flefhy Fibres (feared in the circumference of the Diaphragm) performed by the Abdominal Mufeles as Antagonifls, which by forcing the anterior part and {ides of the Abdomen inward, do force the l'zfocro of the loweft Venter upward toward the Thorax, whereupon the Center of the Midrifflofeth its Plain, as lifted up toward the Heart and Lungs, whence the Perimeter of the Thorax is leffened to comply with the lank conditionof the Lungs, when defpoiled in a great proportion of the Nitrous and Elaflick parts of Air, fqueefed out in Expiration. THe Midriff is taken with an Inflammatory Difeafe, proceeding from an exuberant quantity of Blood,ca'rried out of the defcend ent Trunk of the Aorta, and through the Terminations of the Phrenick Arteries into the fubftance of the Diaphragm, WhereuPon it is Tumefied, by reafon the The Inlla mmatiun ofthe Midriff. Blood is fo great in quantity, or fo grofs in quality, that the minute extremi- ties of the Phrenick Veins are not capable to receive it. This Difeafe is accompanied with a‘continued acute Fever, attende d with a difficulty of Refpiration, and much pain; and afterward if this inflamma. The Inflam' motion is arias tory malady prevail, the Brain is drawn into Confent, whereupon it is called ciatcd with a Parapbrem'ter, becaufe the center of the Diaphragm is Nervous, as alfo its Membranes are interfperfied with many filaments of Nerves 3 whence arifeth a Delirium, fometimes affociated with Convulfive motions. As to the Prognof'ticks of this Difeafe, they fpeak great danger as the ver. Diaphragm is highly dilaffeéted, which is a neceffary Organ of Refpitation conducive to the prefervation of life. i This Difeafe as founded in a quantity of Blood ( fetled in the Interfiiees of the Blood-velfels, relating to the Diaphragm) doth denote Blood-l to divert the current of Blood from the part affeé‘ted, alfo to lelfen etting its quad: itity, and to make good its Circulation.

The Diaphragm is highly difotdred by wounds, made in the Flelh'y and cheifly in the Tendinous part, as made up of many Nerves, often prodluc ino a Delirium, attended with a Senfation of weight, caufed by the woundea Tendinous Fibres, hindring the free play of the Diaphragms whereupon, arifeth a great difficulty of breathing, and high pain and Cough, wherein fom‘e- times the Stomach and fome part of the Intef'cines are forced through the Perforation of the Midriff into the Cavity of the Thorax.
