oedipus_n appear_v or_o rather_o like_o a_o second_o alexander_n and_o cut_v asunder_o the_o knot_n he_o can_v not_o untie_v let_v we_o hear_v this_o mystery_n open_v up_o i_o will_v not_o waste_v

i_o can_v since_o life_n be_v maintain_v by_o the_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n it_o be_v necessary_a as_o well_o before_o the_o child_n be_v bear_v as_o afterward_o but_o while_o it_o be_v in_o the_o womb_n the_o lung_n be_v clap_v together_o the_o vessel_n necessary_o must_v be_v compress_v and_o so_o little_a or_o no_o blood_n can_v circulat_v that_o way_n wherefore_o it_o circulat_v from_o the_o great_a vein_n into_o the_o great_a artery_n by_o two_o other_o way_n nature_n have_v provide_v the_o one_o a_o canal_n the_o other_o a_o anastomosis_n and_o so_o the_o infant_n life_n

no_o more_o press_v and_o so_o the_o blood_n find_v a_o easy_a passage_n through_o the_o lung_n than_o by_o the_o way_n abovementioned_a which_o therefore_o at_o last_o come_v to_o be_v stop_v and_o dry_v up_o because_o the_o blood_n run_v no_o more_o in_o that_o channel_n now_o when_o these_o way_n be_v stop_v and_o no_o other_o way_n leave_v for_o the_o blood_n to_o circulat_v but_o by_o the_o lung_n if_o that_o be_v stop_v too_o the_o animal_n must_v needs_o die_v because_o the_o blood_n can_v circulat_v and_o this_o passage_n be_v stop_v when_o the_o animal_n do_v not_o breath_n after_o the_o write_n of_o this_o the_o doctor_n find_v his_o demonstration_n lame_a which_o i_o can_v say_v it_o be_v for_o it_o have_v never_o a_o leg_n to_o stand_v on_o and_o lameness_n be_v a_o defect_n of_o the_o leg_n he_o tell_v we_o in_o the_o 14_o sect._n of_o his_o next_o learned_a discourse_n that_o there_o remain_v one_o phaenomen_fw-la concern_v respiration_n to_o be_v further_o explain_v which_o perhaps_o he_o do_v not_o make_v plain_a enough_o in_o its_o proper_a place_n viz._n that_o while_o the_o old_a canal_n be_v open_a in_o a_o puppy_n yet_o if_o it_o have_v once_o breathe_v

bid_v fair_a to_o gain_v the_o point_n for_o here_o the_o difficulty_n lie_v according_a to_o his_o notion_n of_o the_o necessity_n of_o breathe_v but_o i_o know_v he_o can_v no_o more_o do_v it_o than_o he_o can_v tell_v i_o how_o many_o hair_n be_v in_o aesculapius_n beard_n or_o pegasus_n tail_n which_o if_o he_o do_v i_o be_o content_a he_o make_v a_o rope_n of_o they_o to_o hang_v all_o

a_o further_a degree_n of_o confusion_n the_o beast_n in_o the_o quag-mire_n may_v be_v excuse_v because_o she_o be_v blind_a but_o i_o know_v not_o what_o can_v be_v say_v for_o the_o professor_n who_o have_v eye_n and_o see_v not_o though_o assist_v with_o a_o pair_n of_o mathematical_a spectacle_n i_o wonder_v how_o any_o man_n who_o have_v a_o grain_n weight_n of_o mother_n wit_n can_v think_v to_o make_v such_o brass_n money_n or_o rather_o fairy-money_n which_o bear_v the_o image_n and_o superscription_n of_o nonsense_n pass_v in_o the_o world_n for_o good_a coin_n here_o be_v indeed_o a_o demonstration_n that_o carry_v not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o shadow_n of_o probability_n along_o with_o it_o what_o country_n clown_n will_v not_o laugh_v at_o such_o a_o reason_n as_o the_o professor_n give_v for_o the_o puppy_n death_n which_o be_v that_o the_o passage_n by_o the_o lung_n be_v stop_v though_o the_o old_a canal_n be_v open_a yet_o the_o blood_n will_v not_o go_v all_o that_o way_n because_o it_o never_o go_v all_o that_o way_n before_o this_o be_v indeed_o a_o witticism_n that_o surpass_v all_o those_o of_o teague-land_n that_o ever_o i_o hear_v of_o which_o the_o knack_n lie_v here_o that_o either_o some_o part_n of_o the_o blood_n know_v not_o the_o way_n have_v never_o tread_v that_o path_n before_o or_o if_o it_o have_v be_v but_o very_o young_a it_o have_v quite_o forget_v the_o way_n for_o five_o or_o six_o minute_n may_v be_v as_o much_o to_o it_o as_o so_o many_o year_n to_o one_o well_o grow_v and_o so_o when_o the_o poor_a infant_n blood_n groaps_o in_o the_o dark_a for_o the_o way_n and_o can_v find_v it_o it_o coagulat_v in_o the_o right_a ventricle_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o so_o the_o poor_a puppy_n die_v because_o the_o circulation_n be_v stop_v but_o lay_v jest_a aside_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o in_o good_a earnest_n where_o i_o think_v the_o pith_n of_o the_o argument_n lie_v if_o it_o have_v any_o at_o all_o viz._n that_o the_o passage_n by_o the_o lung_n be_v now_o entire_o stop_v which_o it_o be_v never_o before_o there_o be_v not_o room_n enough_o by_o the_o other_o two_o for_o all_o the_o mass_n of_o the_o blood_n to_o

motion_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v necessary_a for_o life_n yet_o it_o need_v not_o always_o run_v as_o if_o it_o be_v chase_v there_o be_v scarce_o two_o in_o the_o world_n in_o who_o it_o be_v equal_a and_o man_n live_v both_o in_o winter_n and_o summer_n in_o hot_a and_o cold_a climate_n and_o so_o will_v the_o puppy_n in_o spite_n of_o this_o medico-mathematical_a demonstration_n and_o find_v to_o its_o comfort_n the_o truth_n of_o the_o old_a proverb_n that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o be_v condemn_v by_o ten_o physician_n than_o one_o judge_n and_o thus_o i_o have_v prevent_v the_o shed_n of_o innocent_a blood_n or_o rather_o the_o stop_v of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v pity_v man_n shall_v live_v in_o ignorance_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v bring_v a_o child_n to_o instruct_v the_o professor_n which_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o take_v ill_o for_o as_o a_o fool_n may_v give_v a_o wise_a man_n good_a counsel_n sometime_o so_o may_v a_o innocent_a child_n in_o who_o the_o
