to_o get_v it_o forward_o mr._n cowper_n mention_n a_o experiment_n three_o how_o by_o a_o injection_n of_o water_n into_o the_o crural_a artery_n the_o muscle_n of_o the_o leg_n renew_v their_o contraction_n from_o this_o he_o will_v infer_v that_o muscular_a motion_n be_v perform_v by_o the_o blood_n as_o a_o pondus_fw-la but_o though_o his_o myotomia_n argue_v it_o come_v from_o a_o inquisitive_a author_n yet_o i_o rather_o an_o full_o persuade_v that_o the_o blood_n do_v not_o act_n as_o a_o pondus_fw-la because_o this_o experiment_n plead_v against_o it_o but_o to_o avoid_v a_o long_a dispute_n i_o shall_v only_o give_v the_o reason_n of_o the_o phaenomenon_n before_o the_o injection_n of_o this_o water_n the_o branch_n of_o the_o artery_n be_v full_a of_o blood_n and_o arterial_a juice_n and_o when_o by_o the_o mixture_n of_o the_o water_n with_o this_o juice_n it_o be_v attenuate_v and_o drive_v into_o the_o gland_n fast_a than_o it_o can_v be_v receive_v by_o the_o venous_a channel_n the_o most_o subtle_a part_n be_v by_o the_o force_n of_o injection_n strain_v into_o the_o fiber_n and_o distend_v they_o so_o as_o to_o contract_v the_o muscle_n perhaps_o here_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o if_o the_o water_n can_v thus_o pass_v through_o into_o the_o fiber_n what_o need_n be_v there_o that_o the_o nerve_n shall_v lay_v down_o their_o content_n in_o the_o glandule_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o water_n be_v thin_a and_o apt_a to_o pass_v through_o those_o duct_n than_o the_o arterial_a juice_n which_o be_v thick_a and_o viscid_a wherefore_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o nerve_n shall_v lay_v down_o their_o content_n there_o to_o attenuate_v and_o rarisie_n this_o thick_a juice_n i_o have_v see_v people_n incline_v to_o a_o dropsy_n four_o who_o blood_n and_o serum_n be_v much_o dilute_v can_v move_v much_o more_o nimble_o though_o more_o seeble_o than_o some_o of_o a_o healthful_a constitution_n who_o blood_n and_o this_o arterial_a juice_n be_v thick_a and_o not_o so_o much_o dilute_v which_o do_v plain_o show_v that_o the_o thin_a the_o blood_n be_v and_o the_o more_o dilute_v the_o nutritious_a juice_n the_o less_o quantity_n of_o spirit_n be_v require_v to_o subtilise_v it_o and_o make_v it_o capable_a of_o pass_v into_o the_o fiber_n it_o may_v easy_o be_v observe_v that_o those_o people_n who_o spirit_n be_v strong_a five_o and_o their_o arterial_a juice_n very_o thin_a be_v nimble_a but_o the_o contraction_n of_o their_o muscle_n be_v not_o so_o durable_a as_o of_o those_o who_o serum_n be_v of_o a_o thick_a consistence_n for_o though_o in_o the_o former_a more_o of_o the_o subtle_a liquor_n be_v prepare_v yet_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o tenuity_n it_o be_v soon_o receive_v and_o carry_v off_o by_o the_o lymphduct_n which_o make_v the_o contraction_n short_a those_o who_o blood_n abound_v with_o fix_a salt_n &_o phlegmatic_a humour_n six_o which_o too_o much_o dull_a and_o resist_v the_o activity_n of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n be_v always_o slow_a and_o unapt_a for_o motion_n whereas_o if_o the_o blood_n act_v as_o a_o pondus_fw-la they_o must_v be_v more_o nimble_a and_o strong_a because_o the_o thick_a the_o blood_n be_v the_o heavy_a will_v be_v the_o pondus_fw-la as_o muscular_a motion_n be_v many_o way_n vitiate_v by_o the_o fault_n of_o the_o arterial_a juice_n or_o of_o
