Thank you ... There's the old bromide about being careful what you ask for.

It seems that this deals with fluxes of the blood as affecting the
senses through some "tonic motion" of porous parts, and involving some
theory of causation of fevers. A medical historian would have to weigh
in here.

"Microcosmic sea" is interesting, man being considered a reflection in
miniature, or microcosm, of the great universe, in the philosophy of the
time.
