Regimen of the Work, that is, of the Philofopher's Stone, call'd
.he Work of Patience, is the Rule and Conduat to be obferv'd to
.ttain Projection. See PHILOSOPHERS Stone, and PROJECTION.
There are three things to be chiefly regarded in the Regimen of
the Work-The firft to adminifter a gentle, eafy Heat, at the be-
*inning of the Coftion.
The fecond to continue this external Heat according to the
'eafon of the Work; always obferving four Seafons, as in the
*. nijjton and astronomical Year: The beginning being the Win.
ter, the Progrefs the Spring, then Summer, and laftly Autumn,
hkich is the time of Maturity and Perfeation of the Stone: In all
*hich the Heat is to be augmented in Proportion to the Aug-
Wentation obferv'd in Nature.
It is to be added, that the Work may not be begun in any Seafon,
.but regard is to be had to the Seafons of Nature; leaft the Win-
Evr of the Work be found in the Summer of the Year, &c.
WIh, however, is to be underifood of the Day wherein the
Mercury is put in the Ovum Philofophicum; not of that when it
begBun to be fet at Liberty from the Prifons Nature had inclo-
*  it in.
The third is that in augmenting the Fire, the Augmentation be
,sx of a whole Degree at once; the Spirits being unable to bear
lich Violence; but a Degree is to be divided .into four Parts, and
yw Part to be taken at a time. See DEGREE.
All the Operations of the firfi Regimen, are occult and invifible:
athe fecond Regimen comes Putrifaition, which is the firft fen-
fible Change; ihewing it felf by its black Colour. See PUTRI-
IXACTION, &c.
REGIMEN. or GOVERNMENT, in Grammar, is that Part of
Syntax or Conftru6tion which regulates the Dependancy of Words;
sAd the Alterations which one occafions in another.  See SYN-
ITAX and CONSTRUCTION.
'Thus we fay, the Regimen of a Verb aative, is an Accufative,
.i e; a Verb aftive governs an Accufative; or requires that the
Noun which receives its Action be in the Accufative Cafe. See
VERB, ACCUSATIVE, &C.
Prepofitions have fome Regimen, i. e. they require certain Cafes
the Nouns they are prefix'd to; by which they are diftinguifli-
.. from Adverbs which have none.   See PREPOSITION and
ADVERB.
The Regimen, or Conftruafion of Government, is entirely ar-
bitrry; and differs in all Languages; one Language forming its
.. Omnen by Cafes, as the Latins and Greeks; others by Particles,
am lieu thereof, as the EnfglhJ, by of, to, &c. the French, Spani-
*'    and Italians, by de, a, da, &c.  fee CASE.
There are, however, fome general Maxims which hold in all
linguages-as   s. That there is no  Nominative Cafe in any
Sentence but has a Reference to fome Verb either exprefi'd or
1n4deritood. See NOMINATIVE.
~2. That there is no Verb but has its Nominative Cafe, either
lprte(Yd or underftood.-Indeed in Languages which have pro-
Per Accufatives, as the Latin, before Infinitives there is an Ac-
Culitive, not a Nominative Cafe: as Sco petrum e/fe doelum.
3f. There is no Adjeftive but has a Relation to fome Sub-
eantive. See ADJECTIVE, &C.
49. That there is no Genitive Cafe but is govern'd by fome
her Noun; inafmuch as that Cafe always expreffes the Poffef-
f)t, which muff be governed by the poffefs'd.-This Rule does
ot hold fio apparently in the modern as the antient Languages;
gad the Particles of, de, &c. which are the proper Signs
£ the Genitive Cafes, are frequently ufed as Prepofitions. See


1That the Regimen of Verbs is frequently laid on different
;of. Relations, according to Cuom or Ufage; which yet
t change the fpecifc Relation of each Cafe, but only
that Cuftom has made Choice of this or that, according

cur, to help one.-%This the Frenh fay, fer'vr quelq/ in & ferc.4
a yuelq+' an, to ferve one.-Thus the Engli/b fay, Fight oe, or
'ight ith ome.-And thus in Spaxi/h moft of the Verbs a&ive
govern indifferently either a Dative or an Accufative. Some-
times, alfo, the Verb admits of feveral Regimens; as, preftare a-
fiuem, or alicia, Eripere morti aliuem, or aliquem a morte.
Indeed the different Regimen fometimes makes an Alteration in
the Senfe; in which, particular regard is to be had to the ufage of
the Language.-Thus the Latin, ca'vere alicui, lignifies to watch,
or be careful of the prefervation of any one: Cavere aliqauem, to
beware of him.
There is one very common Fault in Regimen, which our accu-
rate Writers fhould be careful to avoid; viz,. the ufing of two
Verbs that require different Cafes, together, as only governing
one Cafe: As in this Example; after embracing and giving his
Bleffing to his Son; where, embracing requiring an Accufative,
and giving a Dative Cafe, the Regimen, or Conlruation of the
firm Verb with the Noun is irregular: embrace to a Son.
The fame may be obferv'd in Nouns; as I conjured him by
the Memory and dhe Friendfhip he bore my Father; where Me-
mnory does not agree with the Verb he bore.
REGIMENT, in War, a Body of Troops of Horfe, orCom-
panies of Foot, commanded by a Colonel. See COLONEL.
The Number of Men in a Regiment is as undetermined as
that of the Men in a Troop or Company.  See TROOP and
COMPANY.
There are Regiments of Horfe, that are not above 300 Men;
and there are fome in Germany of 2000; and the Regiment of Pi-
cardy in France confifts of 120 Companies, or 6ooo Men.
The French Regiments of Horfe are not commanded by a Co-
lonel, as the Foot are, but by a Mefire de Camp.  See MESTRE
de Camp.
Some obferve, that there were no Regiments of Horfe before
the Year 1637. 'Till then the Troops were loofe, and indepen-
dent of each other, not incorporated into a Body or Regiment.
See GUARD.

they rebound from the Earth. See RAY.
The middle is that wherein the Clouds refide, Meteors are
form'd, &c. extending from the Extremity of the loweji, to the
tops of the higheft Mountains. See METEOR, CLOUD, MOUN-
TA1N, &C.
The upper commences from the Tops of the Mountains, and
reaches to the utmoft Limits of the Atmofphere.-In this reigns
a perpetual, equable Calmnefs, Clearnefs, and Serenity. See AIR.
Some Authors ufe the Term Elementary Region, for the Space
of the whole Atmofphere, from the Earth to the Sphere or Hea-
ven of the Moon; becaufe within this are contained the four Ele-
ments, and all Elementary Bodies.  See ELEMENT and ELE-
MENTARY.

&c. See HEAD, &c.
The middle Region is that of the Thorax or Breaft, which Hip.
pocrates calls the upper Venter, and which reaches from the Cla-
vicles to the Diaphragm; wherein are contained the vital Parts,
as the Heart, Lungs, 'c. See HEART, LUNGS, &C.
The third or hIwer Region is the Abdomen or Belly, 'c. con-
taining the natural Parts, deftind for Digeftion, Purgation, and
Generation. See ABDOMEN.'
