which_o blood_n do_v not_o issue_n especial_o if_o the_o blood_n be_v earthy_a and_o melancholic_a upon_o such_o a_o like_a argument_n as_o you_o be_v we_o have_v see_v poor_a soul_n condemn_v to_o

in_o hand_n much_o less_o prick_v then_o a_o pin_n but_o let_v we_o argue_v by_o philosophy_n a_o little_a more_o subtle_o galen_n show_v against_o aristotle_n that_o sense_n be_v not_o the_o alteration_n or_o change_n that_o be_v make_v in_o the_o organon_n or_o instrument_n of_o sense_n but_o the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o alteration_n as_o for_o example_n say_v he_o if_o i_o be_v very_o attentive_a to_o any_o thing_n and_o in_o the_o mean_a while_o one_o pass_v before_o i_o although_o his_o image_n be_v receive_v into_o the_o crystalline_a humour_n of_o my_o eye_n as_o it_o be_v in_o a_o glass_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o i_o shall_v not_o see_v he_o because_o the_o visual_a spirit_n with_o the_o power_n thereof_o be_v keep_v back_o in_o the_o spring_n and_o original_a fountain_n of_o the_o sight_n or_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o send_v forth_o the_o common_a sense_n into_o the_o eye_n because_o it_o be_v occupy_v elsewhere_o and_o without_o it_o there_o can_v be_v no_o sense_n and_o by_o consequence_n either_o little_a or_o no_o pain_n at_o all_o if_o i_o be_v very_o great_o busy_v or_o occupy_v attentive_o about_o any_o thing_n although_o one_o cry_v out_o or_o speak_v aloud_o that_o be_v near_o unto_o i_o yet_o shall_v not_o i_o discern_v what_o be_v say_v because_o the_o common_a sense_n be_v hinder_v elsewhere_o some_o have_v receive_v many_o shot_n of_o gun_n in_o the_o war_n that_o feel_v nothing_o thereof_o archimedes_n be_v busy_v about_o his_o geometrical_a line_n do_v not_o think_v that_o syracuse_n have_v be_v take_v if_o therefore_o constancy_n and_o resolution_n as_o also_o a_o strong_a imagination_n do_v detain_v the_o spirit_n animal_n in_o her_o fountain_n if_o the_o soul_n do_v not_o send_v forth_o into_o the_o part_n her_o common_a sense_n without_o which_o there_o be_v either_o little_a or_o no_o feel_n at_o all_o and_o by_o consequence_n either_o little_a or_o no_o pain_n do_v we_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o the_o patient_a be_v very_o resolute_a do_v endure_v little_a or_o no_o grief_n and_o so_o dissemble_v it_o this_o reason_n induce_v the_o stoike_n to_o defend_v this_o paradox_n that_o grief_n or_o pain_n consist_v in_o opinion_n because_o imagination_n be_v the_o mother_n of_o opinion_n and_o if_o imagination_n do_v not_o work_v withal_o there_o be_v no_o pain_n at_o all_o cease_v therefore_o to_o conclude_v that_o martha_n be_v possess_v with_o a_o devil_n because_o she_o be_v not_o move_v with_o the_o prick_n of_o a_o pin_n conclude_v rather_o that_o she_o be_v not_o possess_v because_o she_o feel_v not_o the_o prick_n for_o there_o be_v no_o likelihood_n in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n incompatible_a not_o agree_v with_o itself_o that_o the_o devil_n shall_v quite_o take_v away_o the_o feel_n of_o pain_n from_o those_o who_o he_o mean_v to_o torment_v nay_o he_o will_v rather_o augment_v and_o increase_v the_o same_o to_o make_v they_o feel_v the_o great_a pain_n cease_v you_o also_o to_o marvel_v that_o there_o follow_v no_o blood_n out_o of_o the_o prick_n for_o the_o only_a apprehension_n or_o strong_a conceit_n of_o be_v let_v blood_n be_v ordinary_o a_o cause_n why_o
