the_o animal_n spirit_n in_o the_o four_o ventricle_n of_o the_o brain_n as_o for_o the_o former_a viz._n that_o part_n of_o the_o spinall_n marrow_n where_o the_o concourse_n of_o the_o nerve_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v as_o i_o have_v answer_v in_o like_a case_n so_o i_o say_v again_o that_o beside_o that_o i_o have_v already_o demonstrate_v that_o matter_n be_v uncapable_a of_o sense_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o modification_n thereof_o in_o the_o spinall_n marrow_n that_o will_v make_v it_o more_o likely_a to_o be_v endue_v with_o that_o faculty_n than_o the_o pith_n of_o elder_a or_o a_o mess_n of_o curd_n we_o be_v also_o to_o take_v notice_n that_o it_o be_v utter_o inept_v for_o motion_n nor_o be_v it_o conceivable_a how_o that_o part_n of_o it_o or_o any_o other_o that_o be_v assign_v to_o this_o office_n of_o be_v the_o common_a percipient_a in_o we_o of_o all_o thought_n and_o object_n which_o must_v also_o have_v the_o power_n of_o move_v our_o member_n can_v

this_o regard_n the_o animal_n spirit_n seem_v much_o more_o likely_a to_o perform_v that_o office_n and_o those_o the_o importunity_n of_o who_o gross_a fancy_n constrain_v they_o to_o make_v the_o soul_n corporeal_a do_v nevertheless_o usual_o pitch_v upon_o some_o subtle_a thin_a matter_n to_o constitute_v her_o nature_n or_o essence_n and_o therefore_o they_o imagine_v she_o to_o be_v either_o air_n fire_n light_n or_o some_o such_o like_a body_n with_o which_o the_o animal_n spirit_n have_v no_o small_a affinity_n 3._o but_o this_o opinion_n though_o it_o may_v seem_v plausible_a at_o first_o sight_n yet_o the_o difficulty_n it_o be_v involve_v in_o be_v insuperable_a for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o all_o the_o argument_n that_o be_v bring_v chap._n 2._o sect._n 3._o will_n
