know_v that_o the_o heart_n be_v a_o muscle_n endue_v with_o spiral_n fibres_n fit_v for_o contraction_n that_o it_o have_v two_o ventricles_n for_o reception_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o its_o dilatation_n that_o it_o have_v valvule_n of_o two_o kind_n to_o hinder_v the_o return_n of_o the_o blood_n from_o the_o artery_n to_o the_o heart_n again_o that_o the_o artery_n have_v transverse_a

perform_v that_o action_n which_o be_v do_v by_o the_o influx_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n into_o the_o fibre_n of_o whatever_o kind_n they_o be_v on_o the_o contrary_a it_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o all_o part_n that_o be_v dilate_v can_v never_o dilate_v themselves_o but_o when_o dilate_v they_o do_v ever_o suffer_v violence_n from_o the_o humour_n or_o what_o ever_o else_o they_o

which_o contain_v at_o least_o a_o dragme_n of_o blood_n when_o dilate_a be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n with_o the_o inner_a coat_n of_o the_o artery_n and_o vein_n and_o be_v sensible_a of_o

to_o say_v that_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v more_o slow_a this_o be_v the_o great_a nonsense_n one_o can_v be_v capable_a of_o for_o at_o every_o pulse_n i_o suppose_v but_o adragme_n of_o the_o blood_n to_o bethrust_a into_o the_o artery_n by_o the_o contraction_n of_o the_o heart_n this_o blood_n can_v not_o return_v because_o of_o the_o valvule_n forward_o it_o must_v go_v
