Wants not guidance of a former sage. . . .
From whence the quick reciprocating breath,
The lobe adhesive, and the sweat of death.
By what degrees the tubercles arise,
How slow, or quick, they ripen into size.

- To Sir Richard Blackmore on his Treatise of Consumptions, (signed G. Sewell, Hampstead, March the 7, 1723/4); reciprocate; guidance; lobe (same quote as reciprocate); tubercle. [BKG Note: located after p. xxiv of the Preface of A Treatise of Consumptions and other Distempers belonging to the Breast and Lungs, by Sir Richard Blackmore, Kt. M. D. And Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in London, the Second Edition, Corrected, 1725, London, printed for John Pemberton, at the Buck and Sun, over against St. Dunstan's Church, Fleetstreet. The images of the poem are from the 1724 1st edition. The Blackmore text is likely the source of the 1755 and 1773 Dict. Sewell quotations, as SJ used the Blackmore title for at least the 1773 Blackmore additions.]
