very_a hot_a vessel_n for_o after_o this_o i_o need_v say_v no_o more_o for_o to_o unfold_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n but_o that_o when_o these_o concavity_n be_v not_o full_a of_o blood_n

whence_o they_o come_v very_o full_a of_o blood_n be_v rarify_v and_o dilate_v because_o of_o the_o heat_n which_o they_o find_v therein_o by_o mean_n whereof_o cause_v all_o the_o heart_n to_o

six_o little_a door_n shut_v up_o again_o and_o those_o five_o of_o the_o vena_fw-la cava_fw-la and_o of_o the_o veinous_a artery_n open_v again_o and_o give_v way_n to_o two_o other_o drop_n of_o

through_o those_o two_o purse_n which_o be_v call_v the_o ear_n thence_o it_o come_v that_o their_o motion_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o heart_n and_o that_o they_o fall_v when_o that_o swell_v last_o

the_o blood_n of_o the_o vein_n be_v not_o exhaust_v run_v so_o continual_o into_o the_o heart_n and_o how_o that_o the_o artery_n be_v not_o too_o full_a since_o all_o that_o which_o pass_v through_o the_o heart_n discharge_v itself_o into_o they_o i_o need_v answer_v nothing_o thereto_o but_o what_o have_v be_v already_o write_v by_o a_o english_a physician_n to_o who_o this_o praise_n must_v be_v give_v to_o have_v break_v the_o ice_n in_o this_o place_n and_o to_o be_v the_o first_o who_o teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v several_a little_a passage_n in_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o artery_n whereby_o the_o blood_n which_o they_o receive_v from_o the_o heart_n enter_v the_o little_a branch_n of_o the_o vein_n whence_o again_o it_o send_v itself_o back_o towards_o the_o heart_n so_o that_o its_o course_n be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o a_o perpetual_a circulation_n which_o he_o very_o well_o prove_v by_o the_o ordinary_a experience_n of_o chirurgeon_n who_o have_v bind_v the_o arm_n indifferent_o hard_a above_o the_o the_o place_n where_o they_o open_v the_o vein_n which_o cause_v the_o blood_n to_o issue_v more_o abundant_o then_o if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v bind_v and_o the_o contrary_n will_v happen_v be_v it_o bind_v underneath_o between_o the_o hand_n and_o the_o incision_n or_o bind_v very_o hard_o above_o for_o its_o manifest_a that_o the_o band_n indifferent_o tie_v be_v able_a to_o hinder_v the_o blood_n which_o be_v already_o in_o the_o arm_n to_o return_v towards_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o vein_n yet_o it_o therefore_o hinder_v not_o the_o new_a from_o come_v always_o by_o the_o artery_n by_o reason_n they_o be_v place_v under_o the_o vein_n and_o that_o their_o skin_n be_v thick_a be_v less_o easy_a to_o be_v press_v as_o also_o that_o the_o blood_n which_o come_v from_o the_o heart_n seek_v more_o forcible_o to_o pass_v by_o they_o towards_o the_o hand_n than_o it_o do_v to_o return_v from_o thence_o towards_o the_o heart_n by_o the_o vein_n and_o since_o this_o blood_n which_o issue_v from_o the_o arm_n by_o the_o incision_n make_v in_o one_o of_o the_o vein_n must_v necessary_o have_v some_o passage_n under_o the_o bond_n to_o wit_n towards_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o arm_n whereby_o it_o may_v come_v thither_o by_o the_o artery_n he_o also_o prove_v very_o well_o what_o he_o say_v of_o the_o course_n of_o the_o blood_n through_o certain_a little_a skin_n which_o be_v so_o dispose_v in_o divers_a place_n along_o the_o vein_n which_o permit_v it_o not_o to_o pass_v from_o the_o middle_n towards_o the_o extremity_n but_o only_o to_o return_v from_o the_o extremity_n towards_o the_o heart_n and_o beside_o this_o experience_n show_v that_o all_o the_o blood_n which_o be_v in_o the_o body_n may_v in_o a_o very_a little_a time_n run_v out_o by_o one_o only_a artery_n be_v cut_v although_o it_o be_v even_o bind_v very_o near_o the_o heart_n and_o cut_v betwixt_o it_o and_o the_o ligature_n so_o that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o imagine_v that_o the_o blood_n which_o issue_v thence_o can_v come_v from_o any_o other_o part_n but_o there_o be_v divers_a other_o thing_n which_o witness_v that_o the_o true_a cause_n of_o this_o motion_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v that_o which_o i_o have_v relate_v as_o first_o the_o difference_n observe_v between_o that_o which_o issue_v out_o of_o the_o vein_n and_o that_o which_o come_v out_o of_o the_o artery_n can_v proceed_v but_o from_o its_o be_v rarify_v and_o as_o it_o be_v distil_v by_o pass_v through_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v

be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o vein_n and_o if_o you_o observe_v you_o will_v find_v that_o this_o difference_n appear_v not_o well_o but_o about_o the_o heart_n and_o not_o so_o much_o in_o those_o place_n which_o be_v far_o off_o next_o the_o hardness_n of_o the_o skin_n of_o which_o the_o artery_n vein_n and_o the_o great_a artery_n be_v compose_v show_v sufficient_o that_o the_o blood_n beat_v against_o they_o more_o forcible_o then_o against_o the_o vein_n and_o why_o shall_v the_o left_a concavity_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o great_a artery_n be_v more_o large_a and_o ample_a than_o the_o right_a concavity_n and_o the_o arterious_a vein_n unless_o it_o be_v that_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o veinous_a artery_n have_v be_v but_o only_o in_o the_o lung_n since_o its_o passage_n through_o the_o heart_n be_v more_o subtle_a and_o be_v rarify_v with_o more_o force_n and_o ease_v then_o the_o blood_n which_o immediate_o come_v from_o the_o vena_fw-la cava_fw-la and_o what_o can_v the_o physician_n divine_a by_o feel_v of_o the_o pulse_n unless_o they_o know_v that_o according_a as_o the_o blood_n change_v its_o nature_n it_o may_v by_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v rarify_v to_o be_v more_o or_o less_o strong_a and_o more_o or_o less_o quick_a than_o before_o and_o if_o we_o examine_v how_o this_o heat_n be_v communicate_v to_o the_o other_o member_n must_v
